recently bought the ps4 game (clothes of desire), still playing that, and i actually think it's kinda fun (got that last month around the time i also bought the quintuplets games). didn't know it's been 10 years since the anime's airing. that said, i haven't watched it since the second season.

curious about the pc game, but i'm a bit worried it's gonna be a gacha game, since it's releasing on mobile (and i'm not really into gachas), but...eh. Anime catgrin

ooh and gonna check out that audio drama! a sucker for drama cds! Very Happy

More of this franchise is always welcome, as it's never failed to be funny.

Konosuba is the only series based of a Light Novel in recent memory i can think off where the original source material has long ended publishing and yet it still getting more anime announced.

Light Novels always get anime adaptations bt said adaptations are usually always used to promote the books themselves. a few might get an additional season when it has finished but that is when it will wrap up the story as well. It really shows how popular this series truly is that they are still investing in it.

Also speaking of which i also got the ps4 game during a sale. Have not played it but now i got an excuse to do it while i wait for this. Very Happy

Still puzzle by the massive gap between S2 and S3, just to turn around and make 2 (and now 3) show in close succession.

Nothing to say but hell yeah.

Also I love that "thumbs-up mohawk guy" consistently makes it onto basically all the promo art despite being the minor-est of minor characters. He's one of my favorite tiny jokes.

KonoSuba's "Wonderful Fool" spinoff is still going. Mushoku Tensei is also getting the same treatment, as are Shield Hero and Spice & Wolf. All publishing sequels or spin-offs, but the anime are still adapting the original work.

Woohoo! Can't wait =D

I think it would probably take at least another 2 additional seasons (5 & 6), but I really hope we can make it to the end of the LNs Anime smile

I love KonoSuba anime but I didn't care for the animation of the third season so I didn't care to watch it yet.

Edit: I just watched the first three episodes of season 3, The animation gets much better after episode 1.

Time for the stuff that had me convinced we wouldnt get a season 2. Which the lead up to has been consistently skipped in the proceeding seasons.

Always up for something that can make me laugh and KonoSuba has consistently delivered. Needed to have more laughs, especially nowadays with the looming darkness in the world (down Lalatina, you're too loco for my liking).

I am surprised s4 was announced so quickly especially considering how long everyone had to wait for s3.

What do you mean (if you can explain it without spoilers, please)?
