KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World!
There are some shows that seek to immerse the viewer in the excitement and splendor of a new setting through the exceptional endeavors of its protagonists. KonoSuba is not that show. Focused on the struggles of Kazuma Satō, an otaku who died of a heart attack after falling in front of an oncoming tractor (yes, seriously), the show has no qualms with showing what might really occur if a spiteful, lazy shut in were dropped into a fantasy setting. From being devoured by acidic slime monsters to having to work their way out of crippling debt, he and his party find themselves in no end of dilemmas between themselves and fortune, usually of their own making no less. And yet before long, you’ll come to love the merry band of screw-ups and root for their success, no matter how brief and fleeting it may be.
