I really would recommend it, as stiff as the translations are (especially the earlier volumes). As funny as Konosuba is now, it gets even better as the story goes along. Numerous jokes start to pay off, characters legitimately develop, and a surprising amount of progress is made. Konosuba is a story where it actually feels like the author knows where they're going, which is something that many other LNs feel at, even other ones that were originally WNs.

it's a story about nothing that has everything :toot:

The frog scene with Aqua and Sena might be the best bit I've seen in this show, and there are a lot of fantastic bits.

I like that the OP shows character growth by allowing Darkness to successfully hit something.

Before I watched episode 2 I was concerned that the ED couldn't live up to the first one but it did not let me down.

I think ive said it before but depending on your fantasy setting, liches dont become mummified raisins until they age. Their immortality is in the bones so thats what usually remains. Wiz is a fairly young lich so her skin hasnt started rotting yet. In some settings liches can even keep their flesh through a boring ritual that they need to do constantly and if you fail to do it you cant get back what you lost from not doing it. Of course most liches dont give a crap about their looks so theyll become skeletons pretty fast.

They got a lot of mileage out of the bad froggers. It doesn't seem like it should work as well as it does.

That's Jun Fukushima, not to be confused with Jun "Lelouch vi Britannia" Fukuyama.

I point this out entirely because this post was going to be a gigantic lie and I only stopped that thanks to checking Wikipedia first.

wiz, the character whose joke is that she's an air-headed demon general onee-san with soft fluffy hair and a giant ahoge who helps spirits pass on and runs a magic shop?

yeah, i'm sure she's cold and rotting, and not just the typical young lich whose soul is removed from an otherwise-functioning body

I'm pretty sure the bawdy comedy isekai LN couldn't care less about any fantasy-genre rules regarding what a lich is supposed to do/be/look like.

As far as I care, she's a former high ranking lieutenant of the big bad and exists via undead power but otherwise tries to keep doing good things and keep a low profile. The whole "powered by the undead" seems to be the only "lichy" thing about her.

By the way, googling "anime lich" is not safe for work but it brings up a lot of fan art for western characters (like Warcraft's Lich King and Adventure Time's Lich) and quarter-dressed "2000 year old but looks 20" monster girlfriends. Female liches are unlikely to be depicted as anything but the latter, I think.

Wiz is literally only around 20. She hasn't been a lich for very long.

As already mentioned, Liches bodies are not rotten by default. It all depends on how well you can maintain the body in a lot of settings. Their forms varies as much as vampires does.

I'll give it a shot. After grimgar I got a bit into LNs and although some were pretty good the vast majority were loving terrible. Like, legitimately deviantart tier writing.

The most I have seen it vary in literally everything is from skeleton to flesh stretched on bones.

Not counting here. But that could very well be an illusion or something.
