KonoSuba (Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!): ANIME REVIEW

Konnichiwa Minna-san!

Today on World of Anime Girl, one more anime review. Recently, I've been searching for an anime with an amazing and intriguing story but a few days ago I ended up watching something completely different. But guess what... I loved it and here is the review to Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuko wo or just KonoSuba. Enjoy! 

PLOT AND STORY LINE 

You know all the anime about people suddenly being trapped in some online games or game like settings where they have to play that game for real in order to survive (Sword Art Online, Hai to Gensou no Grimgar etc.). Well, guess what, KonoSuba is such an anime but if you thought it is another cliche like the one mentioned above...you are wrong beacuse KonoSuba is mainly a PARODY.

After dying on a pathetic and hilarious death, high school student and recluse  Kazuma finds him self sitting in front of the beautiful goddess Aqua.  She gives him two options: to go to heaven or reincarnate into a fantasy world that every gamer, including Kazuma, always dreamed of. He of course picks the fantasy world and after being  given the chance to pick an item to take with him, he chooses Aqua. Poor Kazuma had no idea that the goddess will be useless in his quest on defeating the Demon King. 

Soon upon his arrival Kazuma realizes that things are not going just as he imagined. Instead of going on adventures Kazuma and Aqua are obliged to do hard chores in order to earn some money. And their 'misadventure' has only just begun.

The thing about KonoSuba, as I mentioned in the beginning, is that it is actually just a parody on all the other anime. All the things like, an over powered main character, a female heroin that becomes his love interest, fearsome opponents etc. are just ridiculed and displayed in a hilarious way. Konosuba was fresh, new and entertaining without doing much. Although it was brilliant how they managed to make such a good parody. 

The anime does have something like a story but it is not actually worth talking about. It is just there to entertain and make you laugh. And I have to say, KonoSuba succeed in both. It was a hilarious, non-sense anime that just makes your day a little bit better. An anime with a huge cheer up factor and a guarantee for laugh. 

The anime does have some pretty badass fight scenes but then again most of them are just so funny that you have to watch them twice. So, in short, if you just want a relaxing and hilarious anime to watch in a day, pick KonoSuba, you won't regret it at all. 

CHARACTERS

KonoSuba is an anime about a disappointed NEET reincarnated into a fantasy world, a useless and overly selfish goddess, a quite perverted and clumsy version of Saber from Fate and a little girl that is obsessed with huge explosions. What a character setting setting, don't you think? I think Konosuba is the first anime without a character development that I liked despite of that. But seriously, what kind of development is to be expected in a comedy like this one. Of course...none! The characters are perfect just as they are and I love them. Of course, my favorite character was Aqua. Goddess? Oh please, even Hestia form "Is it Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeion?"  did a better job. Still, Aqua had a couple of amazing moments which were mostly followed by disappointing endings but let's not talk about them. The queen of the show was definitely Darkness. She's the vice-versa Saber lookalike I mentioned before and man that girl nailed it. Darkness is a knight that misses every target and whose only role is to act like a shield. She was just hilarious. 

ANIMATION AND STYLE

Bla bla bla...animation was great...bla bla bla...so was the style. I seriously started hating this section. I mean it's a 2016 anime...what do you expect. It doesn't have anything special I could talk about so let's move on and finish this review. 

CONCLUSION

For those of you out there that just want a leisure day and do nothing expect watching a hilarious and entertaining anime, KonoSuba is an anime for you. The mash of a hilarious, parody setting, incapable, clumsy and funny characters and a pinch of non-sense in the story made this anime so amazing and entertaining that you just have to watch it.
