https://twitter.com/Yuyucow/status/707705292918792192 Kvin's talked abou Konosuba's animation a few other times, saying it's mostly on purpose that things go out of/are kept out of model to allow for more movement. I don't specifically like the approach but on episode 9 in particular I saw all the boob physics as a joke instead of an actual attempt at fanservice. |

The animation director for this episode was the character designer and chief animation director himself. Kikuta confirmed in twitter that all the key animation and layouts were corrected and supervised by him. https://twitter.com/blackalpha_1/status/707388179125379072 He also likes saggy tits and allows the characters to look off-model on purpose at times to make them look funny and for wacky expressions. It worked well this episode. |

Konosuba's animation has been repeatedly mentioned by some, but episode 9 was the first time something felt really off to me. Like I'm not sure if I'd say worse, but more like it isn't the same people.

Agreed. The incredibly pervy looks on the guys' faces at the shop had me in stitches. |

it's an in joke only the fan of the novel would understand and yeah basically there won't be a season 2 since they cut the NTR plot which changes kazuma relationship with the other adventurers although being the lowest job class. and some other minor plot point which becomes important in the main plot after the battle against the destroyer. ohh well at least they are going to make a yunyun OVA :/ |

I see, though I imagine you can understand it looked like you were serious in shit talking about the production.
I kinda think that customizable immersive experiences will be if not the future of porn at least part of its future. The immersive part definitely, but I don't know about the customization. There is plenty of research out there regarding how having too many choices can make people feel overwhelmed. I imagine it will be available for the pickiest users, but I imagine most will pick from curated selection of options. I'll submit this question for your input: Would you give up some vitality for good made to order artisanal sex dreams? For me it depends on how lucid it is and how much vitality is taken. |

remember. rule 34 there's never too much option for porn, in fact there's not enough of it. although the general theme would be limited but the option of fetishes are limitless. just go to dlsite although the general theme seems the same there are some really weird stuff out there. and some of them are actually pretty well done. side note i came across a poll and it seems that kono suba constantly in the top 5 of followed series this seasononly losing to grimgar, bokumachi, fairy tail and dagashikashi. o.O |

Oh I am familiar with such things. My point was if you had to customize the whole experience, including appearance, personality, age, fetishs, sex acts performed, etc., most people would just say fudge it, I'll pick something pre made. I say that as someone who would find such customization desirable. I forgot to mention, I wonder if they keep the request forms? If they do, and they were raided, that means the raiders effectively have the equivalent of most of the men in the towns porn related browser history . Though if you take the proper precautions, that isn't a big problem |

I see nothing was mentioned of Darkness' outfit the next day, specifically that it made her look like an office lady. Significant maybe because she heard that he was interested in a "older woman" type, and the whole way she is acting is different from her usual perversion.

I did notice the different apparel, but apparently didn't think through its implications as much as you did. Yeah, that is interesting, isn't it? |

I was wondering if all of the exchange with the succubus was intended to be as pointed a jab at either anime/manga/light novels/doujinshi (and their fandom) as it was. Specifically, it's interesting to note the exchange and compare it to standard rebuttals from anime fans about their preferred material. I have to assume it was part of the goal here since Kazuma goes pretty far in his inquiries (with implications pretty much going straight at pedophilia) and the standard response being always "it isn't REAL". One COULD even go further with where the episode went with that analysis... if one was so inclined. (not saying I necessarily AGREE with all their implications there, just saying)

Is there any implication regarding Aqua wearing a costume that covers her butt for once? |

Eris' name is also the name of the currency of the KonoSuba world. Just kidding
I believe the the producers are really "cheaping it out" in terms of VA and animator payroll. KonoSuba is a low budget anime after all. But recycling VA's doesn't imply lower expenses. VA's are paid depending on their rank. The higher the rank, the more expensive the talent fee. VA's have to be more experienced and popular to rise in rank. All VA who have experience of 3 or less years are all put in the bottom rank no exceptions and thus cheaper. Eris and Chris' VA Ayaka Suwa, I think, is not so popular. So she's probably cheap. VA's are paid per episode appearance. The more episode appearances the more paycheck. A VA voicing a minor character uttering only a word but appearing many episodes in an anime series (like a Pokemon) will expect more paycheck than a VA voicing a major character with many lines and some extra characters but only appeared on one episode. Recycling VA in one episode can really lessen the expenses. But the Eris/Chris case is different since they appear in separate episodes. They wanted to go cheap since they employed some unpopular VA's (or even some new VA) and used few VA's per episode, in which they did. KonoSuba got cheap on Megumin's VA and her explosion voice since the VA Rie Takahashi, I think, is not that popular, even though she got some major roles on autumn 2015. Edit: Rie Takahashi seems to be popular even before the pre-Megumin hype since she won a Best Female Rookie Actress Award in Seiyu Awards. But I think her paycheck is still cheap. Lucky DEEN. Obviously KanColle are saving big bucks by having their VA's voice multiple characters in one episode. It is because like Shirobako, the series are character-heavy. Even though Shirobako has non-popular (maybe new) VA's (at that time) voicing main characters like Juri Kimura and Haruka Chisuga, the VA's of the supporting characters are obviously expensive.
VA recycling on Eris and Chris seems to makes sense. It is only a speculation (but I will still hide it), but the sound director probably wanted to hint us that spoiler[Chris is actually Eris.]. The YT video KonoSuba Character Popularity Poll Entry PV on the 1:04 mark made me think that way. My curiosity drove me to read Japanese wiki to investigate my speculation. I can understand very little Japanese but google translate helps. (I have some basic vocab and my grammar is OK.) Two spoiler sentences from Japanese Wiki found: spoiler[The sentences pertain to Chris. 名前の由来は女神エリスの好きな花の名前から。実は、女神エリスの地上での仮の姿。] Last edited by crx07 on Mon Mar 14, 2016 8:24 am; edited 3 times in total |

about that spoiler:
spoiler[as far as I know that is correct. I'm not that far into the LNs myself yet since it still takes me like a month per book and I'm currently at #4, but yeah. Hence my thought that the innitial two posts were probably jokes and the people already knew it wasn't cheaping out In fact I've heard people say it's a spoiler that she was mentioned as the VA to begin with instead of leaving that blank or however you'd do that... idk] |
