What is the KonoSuba anime about?

KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on this Wonderful World! (often shortened to KonoSuba) is a hilarious isekai anime series centered around Kazuma Satou, a high school student who dies a rather anticlimactic death and finds himself in the afterlife.

The goddess Aqua offers him a chance to reincarnate in a fantasy world, allowing him to choose one overpowered item or ability to aid him in his new life. Believing he’s being clever, Kazuma chooses Aqua herself, only to discover she’s not only useless but also drags him into even more ridiculous and chaotic situations.

They’re joined by Megumin, an explosion-obsessed wizard with limited mana, and Darkness, a masochistic crusader with a penchant for taking hits. Together, this dysfunctional party of adventurers attempts to defeat the Demon King, often with disastrous and comedic results, while also struggling with everyday problems like paying rent and dealing with their eccentric personalities.

Konosuba is based on the light novel series of the same name, written by Natsume Akatsuki and illustrated by Kurone Mishima. The light novels were initially published online before being acquired by Kadokawa Shoten, who began publishing them in print in 2013.

The anime adaptation of KonoSuba was initially produced by Studio Deen, and then later by Studio Drive.

KonoSuba’s OVAs are considered non-canon, meaning they aren’t part of the original light novel storyline. However, they still offer more KonoSuba content and can be enjoyed as fun bonus episodes if you’re looking for more adventures with Kazuma and the gang.
