I'm liking the change the anime made. It's just a shame it skipped the real consequences of Aqua's Purification. She made the spring extra holy with it being blessed by a literal goddess and all, which gave the city even more revenue and influence by selling the water. The church priesthood are fully aware of Aqua identity due to this and decided to "covertly" help her by building a branch in Axel

Gabriel DropOut is crying in a corner for trying to compete in comedy with this brilliance. It's a shame, GD is a legit funny show, but it's not even going to be the funniest of the week it airs, until now.

They can't let these idiots end the season in a triumphant note after all.

I very much doubt there'll be a next season. The next episode preview thing after the last credits is literally the classic "our battle is just beginning" line people always use at the end.  Then again overlord 2 is happening so who knows

If the anime permanently ends here I hope the comic keeps on trucking. I doubt I will ever read the novels.

Yes, there is a manga companion to the main story. As both the light novel and the manga are coming out in English, I suppose this will have to do: LN: https://www.amazon.com/Konosuba-Blessing-Wonderful-Useless-Goddess/dp/0316553379/ https://www.amazon.com/Konosuba-Blessing-Wonderful-Witches-Delusions/dp/0316468703/ (preorder) https://www.amazon.com/Konosuba-Blessing-Wonderful-Summoned-Darkness/dp/0316468738/ (preorder) Manga: https://www.amazon.com/Konosuba-Blessing-Wonderful-World-manga/dp/0316552569/ https://www.amazon.com/Konosuba-Blessing-Wonderful-World-manga/dp/0316553328/ https://www.amazon.com/Konosuba-Blessing-Wonderful-World-manga/dp/0316469335/ (preorder) https://www.amazon.com/Konosuba-Blessing-Wonderful-World-manga/dp/0316559547/ (preorder) I'm sad with how slowly the LNs are coming out. There are 10 fan translated volumes floating around the Internet right now and everybody knows how, uh, amateurish those always are.

Shadowhand00 posted:Do you mean, sort of fan ficish? I don't know if that is a play on the name of the unofficial translations or a serious question, so I'll guess the later. I would say yes since I often find light novel translations have various odd forms of grammar and sentence structure. Stuff that might make you have to read a line a few times to work through it. That being said, I think the KonoSuba fan translation is one of the better ones in terms of readability. Nalin fucked around with this message at 19:12 on Mar 16, 2017 |

I generally have the same problems with fan translations. I think it's because they probably just directly and literally translate the text with no editing or reordering of sentences or anything because that's too difficult and time consuming for something they're probably just doing in their spare time. That's also probably the reason that the very few really good fan LN translations get dropped after like 2 chapters because the guy doing it went insane.

Well, there's also the problem that I think several of the better groups/people doing these translations will only do them while the series is unlicensed. Once a series has been picked up for release they'll stop translating any new ones and remove the parts they had up. I don't really read many LNs so it's not really happened to me much, but there's been once or twice where a group's been, say, eight volumes into a series when it gets picked up for an official release in English. Then all that was there gets removed, and the official release comes out at a rate of like two volumes a year, so it'd take forever to get back where you were at.

The Konosuba official english translation, much like the Re:Zero one, is also really good. Yen Press really has stepped up their game since the terrible first few translations of No Game No Life. (It got better too but it sucked from the start).

I noticed that VERTICAL actually revised the translation of NISIOISIN's first Zaregoto book, and I wonder if anybody knew how. This is one of those things that don't get a lot of attention. (There's also nobody you can really go to for "is this anime bluray good or is it a cheap terrible encode".)

I have to wonder how much of the way light novels read is due to actual "dry" prose and how much is just Japanese allowing for huge clause-filled sentences that can't be rendered in English without sounding stilted or completely rewriting each paragraph.

Apparently there is another OVA scheduled for July so even if this is the end (which I doubt tbh) there's still a little more goodness left. Hopefully it is less creepy than the first OVA

Pretty much all OVAs are stuffed with creepy and fanservice to the brim, so that's probably a false hope.
