KonoSuba season 3! A new season for your favorite anime is possible! What's
up guys Foxen here. The author of KonoSuba Akatsuki Sensei has confirmed that more
KonoSuba seasons are possible! Now I could already see some of you typing or
asking, didn't the author confirm that there will be no more seasons?
This right here is outright wrong! If you were somehow tricked by this, you weren't
the only one. I've seen so many people spreading the wrong information about
this. Here's a little bit from what I've seen just for my KonoSuba videos. Things
like "KonoSuba season 3 was canceled". This is bullshit. That the author hates
the anime version of KonoSuba. Again for this one bullshit. And then this one too
that the KonoSuba anime did not help the light novel sales for KonoSuba. The
Light novels for KonoSuba actually tripled during the anime release. This is
a fact! What's even more interesting is that KonoSuba right now is the second
top-selling light novel in Japan. It's just under SAO. That right there is a
huge accomplishment! So just these three things are some other BS I've been
saying for my KonoSuba, videos and when you ask these people what the hell
they're talking about, they always refer to as this video. That
or some video or forum posts that refers back to it. So quick disclaimer
right here, I am not familiar with this guy's of channel, nor have I ever seen any
of this videos until this one. After watching the video this is what I
got from it. The beginning of the video really just stating what happened and
then the person goes into their opinion as to why there's no season 3. There's
really nothing wrong with the video presentation so why were people so
freaking confused? One huge thing that might have confused people is the actual
title of the video, "KonoSuba author confirms no season 3".
This is technically not correct but it's also not false either. The reality is
there simply no KonoSuba season three in production yet.
Or at least nothing that the author could publicly talk about at this moment. And
it's funny because a lot of the BS I've seen in comments for KonoSuba videos is
people referencing either this video or the author note that he left at the end
of the latest KonoSuba light novel volume 11. In case there's any more doubt
let's end that right here. This is an exact
translation from the author regarding the anime from that note. "The second
season of the anime recently wrapped up as well. I personally think it's
extremely great but it also kind of feels like it was over too soon. Perhaps
it was because I had the privilege to be involved in the great deal of things
which kept me busy. Words cannot express how grateful I am to all the people
involved in making the anime a success. If I ever get another opportunity I love
the chance to work with everyone again." There you have it, I really don't think
there's anything confusing about that, so what the hell how in the world are there
so many people that were confused just by this one video or video title? It
seems that the biggest confusion is really coming from people playing this
internet telephone or straight out just making up crap when talking to other
people about this online. One thing that people really seem to be surprised by
it's a reality that the KonoSuba anime is an advertisement for the light novel. If you
are new to anime, sorry to break it to you but that's the entire reason for
anime. 99% of the time the anime is made as an advertisement for the source
material plus merchandising, and because I've seen people just finding out about
this from KonoSuba these people are somehow holding a grudge against the
studio or the publisher or both. If this sounds like you, please just stop. The
reality is this isn't anything new for anime.
KonoSuba is not a special exception. All anime works in this way. If you're going
to hate KonoSuba for whatever reason due to this, by that logic you're gonna
have to start hitting every other anime you do like. And if you just found out
through this video sorry, but that is a harsh reality of anime. But anyway let's
take a step back. Back when season 2 ended people were freaking out that
no season 3 had been announced. We know what other anime never expected to
get another season. Here's a list of some of those smaller anime, you may have
heard of them: SAO, Attack on Titan and One Punch Man. The reality is no one
knows what's going to be a huge hit especially the studios. You can bet that
they do hope that whatever anime they're working on is going to blow up and be
huge but it's never a sure thing. Looking back at some of these SAO season 1 came
out in 2012. SAO season two then came out two
years later. For One Punch Man season one came out in 2015.
Right now season two is confirmed but there is no release date just yet. At
best that's going to come out and fall of this year that'd be another two years
for this one too. And then you got the mega hit, the colossal Attack on Titan.
Season one for that one came out in 2013. Season two of Attack on Titan was
supposed to come out last year but you know what happened. The second season got
delayed and then came out this year. That was four freaking years after the first
one. I'm sure I could sit here and name off a bunch of other more examples but
what does this all mean? A new season for any anime takes a while to get kicked
off the ground. There's just a whole ton of moving parts for any anime production.
I do hope to make some videos about this in the future. I think we could all agree
that all these past three series are much bigger than KonoSuba.
This really just means that a possible third season for KonoSuba will take
some time. Just look back at the mega hit that is Attack on Titan. Even that
couldn't escape the hell of anime production hell. But wait you might be
wondering how about KonoSuba season 2. How did that happen?
This one actually is really a no-brainer. It became even more obvious that we read
the KonoSuba light novels. The reality is KonoSuba always had planned
to have these seasons back-to-back, or what I like to call one full season only
split between years. How were they able to announce season two right after season
one ended? The answer is that a following season for the next year had
already been planned. I'm sure that some of the pre-production for it had already
been underway. The KonoSuba seasons are shorter anyway so this makes things
easier. Now does this confirm KonoSuba season 3, season 4, and season 5?
Unfortunately it does not but the possibility for more future seasons is
definitely there. There's really only two main things I could kill off any chance
for more KonoSuba anime seasons. 1 is really just a main drop off in sales for
the light novel and the second being that the light novel KonoSuba finally
coming to an end. I'm currently caught up with the light
novels. Where the story stands right now I could see KonoSuba ending some
time next year, although honestly the author did an
amazing job in setting up the story in a great way
where he's free to choose to expand it as much as he wants. And seeing just how popular
KonoSuba is I don't see a reason to stop. So in case you're wondering is there any
way then you could help out to increase the chances for another KonoSuba
season 3. Well there are a couple things you can do. First off if you love the
KonoSuba series definitely support it in whatever way
you can. Definitely buy the light novels and any merchandise for KonoSuba.
Stuff like blu-rays and DVDs are good too but they can be very pricey. I would
suggest that the very least watching series legally on sites like CrunchyRoll.
Trust me these guys are looking at the number of years internationally.
Another great way to support the series is to simply tell more people about it.
Help spread the KonoSuba love I do hope that my past videos have encouraged
some of you to read the light novels or at least buy some merchandise. Thankfully
we do have a little bit more KonoSuba fun coming soon. The second OVA for
KonoSuba is coming out at the end of this month July 24th. You also got the
KonoSuba panty game coming out in September. As for my personal thoughts on
this whole situation, it really is just unfortunate that a lot of KonoSuba
fans have been confused and even worse that other spread just plain wrong
information. But anyway for the KonoSuba series, I do really see this being a
lost opportunity if they don't ever decide to make more seasons. I'm sure you
heard about the ton of problems with the anime industry right now. I think KonoSuba
is a good example of a different one of these problems. You often get one
of these amazing series turned into an anime and then by the end of season one
and they're already caught up with the source material. Now look back at
KonoSuba. You got this amazing beloved series like millions of people worldwide and
you don't have that issue. Right now there's the 11 KonoSuba light
novels and I believe number 12 is coming out this month. This means if they really
wanted to you could be getting a new KonoSuba each year for the next three years.
That's not even counting the four spin-off novels for Megumin. That's two
more seasons right there alone. And really, if the second top-selling novel
in Japan can't get more season there really is a huge problem!
There's also so much potential for merchandising with this series,
especially with Megumin. People love her so much. I'm definitely a fan too. If
and hopefully when KonoSuba gets more seasons you could bet that a huge
part of that will be thanks to Megumin. So hopefully this helped to clear things
up. Please please please be sure to like the video and share it with your friends!
It'll help a lot more people get the chance to see it and whenever you see
some people misled by that previous false info make sure to point them to
this video! In the long-term hopefully make some of these KonoSuba lies go away
and potentially it helps out the KonoSuba series at the same time. By the way
definitely subscribe for more awesome videos including KonoSuba ones. I do have a
few plan but I just needed to get this video out first before those. Enjoy these
paths awesome KonoSuba video and i'll see you guys later
