Review of KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! 3
Konosuba has always walked that tightrope of being a show about irredeemable assholes and a show about a bunch of people learning how to become a family, albeit a misfit dysfunctional one. This season like the other 2 made me remember why I get so excited hearing news related to this franchise. My only major critique is that its more of the same. However, thats not necessarily a bad thing. The final episodes lay into the emotional stakes tying this adventuring party together, all the while making you laugh so as to not be too dour. Its not the kind of show in which asevere tragedy is actually going to occur, Konosuba isn't aiming for serious drama. Its maybe a dramedy, a farcical one at that. And thats for the best.
I enjoy how derpy the faces get when they are off model, and the Konosuba character designs operate off a shared visual shorthand for character expressions that I've become accustomed to. The OP/ED are well storyboarded and animated. And the VAs kill it as per usual.
I wish it was 12 episodes instead of 11, but honestly complaining about wanting more of a good thing is hardly a critique. If you're seriously debating as to whether or not to watch this season...stop lying, no you're not. Who watches 2 seasons and a movie but then has a debate about the third season? In fact, who is this review even for? New viewers? Who would start a series on season 3???
