Kono Subarashii Sekai Ni Shukufuku O (Konosbua) Review

According to Shirou Emiya of the "Fate/stay night" franchise, people die when they are killed. This somewhat applied to Kazuma Satou, who was killed bravely sacrificing his life to save a young girl from getting hit by a truck after days of staying within his safe bubble of his life as a NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training).

Actually no.

Kazuma did not bravely sacrifice his life and neither did he get hit by a truck. Actually, Kazuma pushed a girl away from a slow-moving 5 mph tractor that would not have killed the young girl and he did not get run over. He died of shock and his death was completely laughable.

Whoops?

However, Kazuma was given a chance at a second life. A goddess known as Aqua gave him a choice of being reborn into a fantasy world. The best about it? He can bring a cheat item along with him in order to defeat the demon lord.

However, Aqua is a jerk.

After a lengthy taunting session via the goddess, Kazuma decided to pick Aqua as his cheat item when he could have had an item that could potentially give him an amazing adventure of fun and a (possible) harem. As such, the two of them was dropped down into a new fantasy world threatened by a Demon Lord due to Aqua's dismay and Kazuma's excitement.

This is the story of Kazuma's (mis)adventures into a new fantasy world.

This is Kono Subarashii Sekai Ni Shukufuku O (Gifting the Wonderful World with Blessings), or Konosuba for short.

I had learned that many people enjoyment coming from this anime and I have heard that it was a great comedy. While I did have some hesitation going into this anime due to Studio DEEN's "attempt" at adapting Fate/stay night, I decided to jump into this show because I enjoy comedy.

I do not regret watching it.

The animation of the faces tend to be a bit off in places, I won't lie, but oddly enough, I actually liked the off-model nature. This is a comedy after all.
