Oh my Aqua what happened to your favorite useless bunch!? Tthis is actually
part of a special collaboration with a Japanese game. In fact KonoSuba has
been so popular that it has had over 10 plus different types of crossover
collaborations with various Japanese games. This really has only been possible
thanks to you watching! KonoSuba went on to become an explosive hit
after the anime debuted. This all started years ago as a web novel, that
useless trio sure look different didn't they? But get this if I were to ask you
what is Pokemon, My Hero Academia, and KonoSuba all have in common what
would you say? And don't cheat by saying that they're all anime! KonoSuba
season one ended up being such a massive hit that it ended up getting a
rebroadcast on TV. What's even stranger is that when KonoSuba got re-aired it got
an early morning timeslot. I'm pretty sure you have a younger brother or
sister or a cousin, just imagine them watching a couple of episodes of Pokemon
and then right after they get to enjoy KonoSuba hehe. Although don't worry the
little kiddies didn't get a chance to enjoying your favorite episode!
Did you know? Kazuma actually got a chance to return to Japan one time. The story
about this was released as a CD drama. It starts off with Kazuma not wanting to
leave the mansion. To get around this Aqua threatens to tell the others what
Kazuma has been doing in his room all day. Megumin was really curious about this
and Darkness just thought that Kazuma had a succubus locked in his sex dungeon,
While this was all going on Kazuma remembered something before dying he
didn't get a chance to delete his special stash on his computer. I wonder
what he forgot to delete. Perhaps Alka was right Kazuma might be a lolicon! But
anyway how the hell did they get back to Japan you might be wondering. Of course
it wasn't from the help of the useless goddess. Their friendly neighborhood
Lich came to the rescue. Wiz sold Kazuma this ultra-rare item that allowed him to
go to the other world. The only drawback is that after returning their memories
would be wiped clean, pretty convenient. Some of the highlights from this
adventure included Aqua coming up with the great idea of Kazuma using steal on
an ATM. Megumin went full on terrorists by using explosion on a building and
Darkness ended up getting some offers to star an adult video, but did Kazuma
ever achieve his ultimate goal? You're gonna have to go ahead and find out link
in the description!
How much do you love the KonoSuba themes for the opening and ending? You
may not have noticed something about the season 1 and season 2 ending. If you're
like most people you just skip them. While the opening themes for KonoSuba
were sung by Machiko, the studio did not have to go for Idol for the
ending themes. In fact the KonoSuba ending song for both of the seasons were
sung by the voice actresses for Aqua, Megumin and Darkness. Let me know how
many of you guys noticed this! A very nice little bonus about this was at the
blu-ray release for KonoSuba included the ending theme song by the voice
actors solo. You were able to enjoy Megumin, Darkness and Aqua singing just for
you! Take her pick. Unfortunately the studio also got Kazuma
in on the bonus. A drunk special of Kazuma singing was also made. It honestly sounds
like nails on a chalkboard, you've been warned!
Have you ever gotten this feeling that something was off while watching KonoSuba?
There's actually a good reason for this. KonoSuba was the weird love
child of two chief animators. It turns out that animation work for KonoSuba
was split down the middle. The odd number episodes were done by one group and the
even numbers were done by another. If you ever wonder why certain KonoSuba
females looked and moved the way that they did you could think Kouichi Kikuta.
This guy was the chief animator in charge of the odd number episodes and he
also has emitted his love for saggy boobs. He was especially proud of his
work on episode 9. Notably this included the succubus seen in the cafe and let's
not forget the fan favorite scene of Darkness where she helped wash Kazuma's
back. This scene in particular was originally supposed to be heavily
censored. Just think tons and tons of steam probably reduce on blu-ray but
thanks to Mr. Kikuta he made sure that fans got plenty of Darkness service
instead! Now you know why certain episodes had a noticeable increase in
jiggling, as well as girls with the little extra something.
Oh my Aqua! I just figured it out this guy must be a member of the Eris church. Let's
get him!
Out of all the Isekai series that exists KonoSuba but a unique spin on the genre
and became massively popular for it. KonoSuba was originally based on the light
novel that just last year passed two million plus sales. This year KonoSuba
sold almost 600,000 copies. It's number 2 of the top more selling light novels
just under SAO, which is quite the accomplishment! And KonoSuba continues to
be extremely popular! You've already watched KonoSuba season 1 & 2 but
there's a lot more to the story. KonoSuba currently is on book number 13. The popular
little explosion Queen has gotten four spinoff to herself. Some people
even like her story more than Kazuma's. The 2 Ex demon generals Wiz and Vanir
have also gotten their own spin-off. By the way do watch my video on Wiz to
find out her backstory, it's pretty awesome! But anyway of course KonoSuba
has its very own manga. This even includes a separate one for Megumin, which
covers her spin-off novels a manga form. Oh and I almost forgot darkness too!
Masochist fans can enjoy her adventure in the Dust spinoff. You might be
wondering who the hell is Dust? It's this guy! He's a reoccurring sign character in
the novel unfortunately he got mostly cut out from the anime, but back to why I
brought this up. Dust just got a spinoff novel with Darkness earlier this year
and the second one is coming up soon. What makes things even more interesting
is that the illustrator for this light novel is someone that's famous for his
work in the hentai industry. You heard that right so you got darkness combined
with this guy. Is this a match made in heaven?
Would you be interested in playing a game focusing on your favorite useless
bunch from KonaSuba? Well you kind of already can. There's been three official
KonoSuba games released. The first one is this Mega Man style type of game where
you control Kazuma. The story has a demon general Veldia returning from Hell. He
then takes control of Aqua, Darkness and Megumin except he makes them not be
useless. It's then up to Kazuma to defeat all of them and defeat Veldia
again. I'm really hoping this guest release on Steam one day. The second KonoSuba
game is actually a visual novel recently released for the ps4 and PSVita.
It tells a unique story of Kazuma getting this curse after getting a magical ring.
This curse causes him to steal everyone's panties around him. It's now
up to Kazuma to cure his own curse. Honestly this just sounds like the
premise of KonoSuba episode made into a full game. And as you might already
be expecting this game is totally full of fanservice.
The final official KonoSuba game is called KonoSuba Attack of the destroyer.
This is his top-down type of game that really reminds me of the older Legend of
Zelda games. I would definitely like to try this one out! Would you guys be
interested in any of these games if they got released on Steam one day?
Have you ever heard before how beautiful the KonoSuba is? She's quite the
lady, except Natsume Akatsuki is actually a guy in real life! For the longest time
everyone online assume that this guy was a female based on his name. The reason
for this is just that the name that people saw is a pretty common Japanese
girl's one. The only time anyone saw Natsume in person kind of was when he did an
interview with a certain anime youtuber. He's a little bit camera shy so he
covered his face. It's just like the author for My hero academia, but anyway
pause the video for a second let me know which character you think from KonoSuba
is his favorite! Is it the explosive Megumin, the useless goddess or
perhaps 50 shades of Darkness? If you're thinking it's gotta be that guy that's
always dying you'd be wrong! His favorite kono super character is actually a tie
between Dust and Vanir. By the way do let me know which is your favorite
character from KonaSuba down below, but back to the topic of KonaSuba. Natsume
has mentioned inspiration for a lot of the gangs and comedy scene in KonoSuba.
The core game he thinks back to his Wizardry and in case you have no idea
what this is like I did it's a super old game back from the 80s.
It's this RPG style similar to Final Fantasy. Overall Natsume is pretty
shocked by the massive love that KonoSuba has gotten worldwide. He originally
started writing KonoSuba as a webinar online. It later snowballed into
popularity being republished as a light novel and now you're here watching this
since KonaSuba has become that popular. Now that millions of people worldwide
have enjoyed KonoSuba, Natsume feels that he's done something
for out of his control. Almost like he's was filled his purpose in life.
What do you think about the idea of visiting a KonoSuba themed cafe?
Naturally Japan was gonna have a special cafe for a beloved useless bunch. Here's
the dishes a fantasy Australia has to offer!
First up is Kazuma, he lucked out with a smoked lizard steak YUM!
I mean he did have an interesting memory from that lizard hunt. Next one up is a
Megumin special. Remember her enjoying that delicious crab? They took that to
heart and gave her some fried crab meat. Your favorite m-type Crusader got a
callback dish too. Here's the cabbage special although honestly just looking
at a bunch of veggies. Where's the protein?
She needs that protein for those thick muscles! As for the useless goddess this
is perfect! Aqua got crispy frog legs mmm. I could just picture her
screaming in the background. All of the KonoSuba cast also got their unique
specialty drink. Kazuma got create water with a sword. Aqua
got a blue drink that comes with her staff. Megumin's explosion drink was
topped off with her hat. Darkness got this yellow drink with her
wing design. Surprisingly Chris and Eris got one drinking each as well. At the
very end the lonely Yunyun got one too. It came with two scoops of ice cream!
I guess these must be for her big eyes! What do you sure know about this cafes
location is a house specialty they're famous for. Naturally they give it a
twist for KonoSuba. You're pretty much eating this giant cube of bread topped
with icing and ice The ice cream here is this adorable cabbage. Definitely
give this a try if you ever visit Akihabara in Japan. Just be careful
eating this whole thing is gonna make you gain like a pound or two!
Remember this guy? I know you've seen him before. You first met this fellow in
Episode one at the guild house. Ever since then he's always been lurking in
the background, so what is the deal with this character? There's been some crazy
theories about him online. The most popular one being that this guy could in
fact be the demon king dun dun dun. Before I get to that the man behind this
character is Inada Tetsu. You know I'm from other characters like
the Fox captain from Bleach, Endeavor from My hero academia, good old nappa
from well you know, Ira from Kill La Kill, and Over justice.
Basically a lot of huge guys! So what about him is so special in KonoSuba?
Sorry I'm gonna have to break it to you. This guy is not KonoSuba's dad, he's not a
demon general and he's definitely not the demon king!
This guy is an anime exclusive character, he's never appeared once at all in the
light novel. He goes by a arakuremono which literally translates as rowdy
person in Japanese. He did actually make a cameo in the KonoSuba manga. And
anyway he's been strangely popular let's see if he makes a return for future KonoSuba
seasons!
Isekai, Isekai, isekai! KonoSuba took the genre putting a comedic
spin to it! However in the same year that this anime
came out you also got another anime with the similar beginnings. Re Zero took the
isekai premise but went down a much darker path. It's not hard to see why
people will compare the two and honestly love the taste of both of these series,
but you might be wondering why is Foxen bringing up Re Zero? It actually is a
pleasant surprise the author's for KonoSuba and Re Zero
are actually good buddies in real life. Natsume has mentioned in the past that
both of them are drinking buddies. He's also admitted that even though Re Zero is
not his top favorite anime. He just loves the Re Zero series and highly recommends
it but wait it gets even better! Because both of these guys know each other real
life they've actually collaborated to bring us a Re Zero and KonoSuba cross
over story too. In fact the first was this short story with a couple of
chapters and then the other was a manga crossover. The useless KonoSuba party
got teleported over to the Re Zero world. In this place Kazuma was now
blessed with the return by death ability. Kazuma may have also tried to
kill himself to escape a certain trio which didn't work. Subaru on the other
hand landed in fantasy Australia. The world in comparison was much much easier.
but of course he had the help from Rem. There still is a mystery KonoSuba
super anime project coming out soon. Perhaps it could be a Re Zero crossover!
What do you think? Would you want to see that instead of KonoSuba season 3?
