Review of KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! 3

+ Like previous seasons of Konosuba, it's a strong dose of comedy with a hint of heart! + Compared to last year's Megumin spin-off, the mainline Konosuba series is much stronger by comparison. The balance of the main cast better accentuates the comedy, where competing interests (often selfish and perverse in nature) lead to hilarious hijinks. Even when some jokes don't land, the chemistry of the main charaacters is able to carry the energy throughout the show. + It's nice that Konosuba remains earnest in its thematic goals: yes, it's a parody of Isekai and harem anime, but it also has a few sincere, emotional moments. +Lalatina fans rejoice, we're getting a Darkness-centric main story arc! It's refreshing to get more backstory and character development from our resident masochist crusader, especially after an entire spin-off and movie focusing exclusively on Megumin (granted, Megumin is a really fun character and I have nothing against her, but I enjoy seeing what else Konosuba has to offer as well).

= Konosuba's 3rd season could stand to be a bit more profound and cathartic. But calling out Konosuba for not being more emotionally enriching is like complaining about the lack of nutrition in an ice cream sundae. It's a show that expands on the story from previous seasons, while retaining its easygoing structure and playful spirit; it's hard to imagine anyone who wouldn't enjoy Konosuba at least a little.
