I think what makes this series work so well despite the kind of questionable premise is the fact that the party has really good chemistry and the dialogue between them feels really natural (and funny as a result).

IIRC the actors are allowed to ad-lib a lot, that's where the "Yes, I'm Kazuma" gag came from

You must be a friend that's good at shredding!
Can we just replace the entire Ace Attorney anime with this episode on loop? It'd be an improvement.

They do, but most of the dialogue is still straight from the LN.

Well, at least getting executed directly afterwards would be a bit of a relief. :v:

No, because Deen stuff was both ugly AND boring. This show might be technically ugly, but drat is it beautifully absurd in all the right ways.

Yeah, it's one of those shows where the cheaper animation just somehow adds to it.

I had that same thought, but I didn't mind that much. Konosuba has to be off model. It's just part of its nature.

It's tolerable, but at the same time holy poo poo. DEEN finds a show that performs insanely well - well enough to surprisingly get a second season - and they half-rear end the animation work in the second season even more than the first?

Something goes even more wrong than it should. And it's probably dumb. And hilarious to watch.

She somehow manages to get you convicted of even more crimes than you were initially accused of, and your sentence gets changed from being hung to being drawn and quartered. Sounds about right for Aqua.

To be fair, as long as you don't get consecutive death sentences, she can fix you right up.

In fact, getting a life sentence replaced with a death sentence could be argued as successful negotiation, all things considered.

Which means, of course, you need to be sure she never figures that out.

(Don't know if it's true, but apparently the off-model is, to some extent, a conscious artistic decision. Would need to find an interview to say anything with confidence, but that's what I've heard.)

The best part of this episode: a new Pause screen! The old pause screen with Aqua going nuts is the 'locked' wallpaper for my tablet.

Animation quality aside, the OP animation satire is absolutely incredible. Everything from the "group is running in this direction" to "random dance sequence" to "falling from the sky for no reason (with reason and conclusion now shown)" was incredible. I can't make enough GIFs to even try and show it all. 0% chance I ever skip this OP during the entire season.

anime is not good
i don't care about the production values as long as the voice acting stays on point, the corner cutting somehow fits right in with the shows tone

The best thing I read about Aqua and I don't know if it's an official thing or not but "makes her panties invisible so no one can get a panty shot" thing sums her up so perfectly.
