Konosuba season 3 episode 1 review
So, Konosuba’s back, after the highly successful Megumin spinoff which made even me a fan of Megumin (who I hated beforehand). What’s not to like about the show coming back? You get Darkness, Aqua, Kazuma… and yes, even Megumin.
This episode starts out very funny, but as it went along, it kind of lost the funniness. The whole gag with Kazuma not wanting to help out a cute girl because he knew it was a villain was amusing, but also highly predictable. The best gag the rest of the way was probably Aqua offering Kazuma toilet paper. Bathroom humor.
Now the gang is going to meet Iris, whoever that is. Princess Iris, in fact – are they referring to the Crown Princess of the Midgar family? Because that’s an Iris I wish would get more screen time in The Eminence in Shadow. For now, though, Konosuba is back, with a lightly humorous start, and the potential of all kinds of good stuff to come.
