I had a coworker that used to do "Yes, that's me" reply every time someone said his name. Then konosuba happened and I chuckled every time and now he stopped :rip:

Never quacked for this

Lord Koth posted:

That's an... interesting change. I don't recall the skill point cost of Explosion magic ever coming up in the main LN (since Megumin already knows it), and it's set at 50 skill points in the prequel LN series following Megumin, not 40, which illustrates just how absurd it is to take that skill given how much more it costs than even Advanced magic.

Also never covered in the main series, so unlikely to get a mention in the show, but the school in the village Megumin is from gave out skill up potions (1 pt each) for being top of the class in various activities, or answering certain topics correctly. Megumin managed to gather so many of them so quickly that she had not that far off double the number Yunyun did despite both joining at the same time - and Yunyun herself had the second most in the class. It's not an exaggeration to say that she really is an incredible prodigy well above Yunyun, just she's so obsessed with Explosion magic to the exclusion of all else that Yunyun is generally better due to being far more versatile (and Yunyun's definitely a prodigy as well).

The manga adaptation had Yunyun mention she tried to do well but not super well because she was trying to keep pace with Megumin so they could graduate together, dunno if that was in the LN side story.
It did show Megumin and Yun2 as 1st and 2nd, though. And Megumin the murderer of adorable duck-shaped Pokemon.

The 40SP cost did feel weird, considering they mentioned the other two magics between Advanced and Explosion (I forgot the names).

I liked the rest of the party discussing how, really, they should sympathize with him soon. Just, you know. Once they're done laughing at him.

Fuck the DH
I must prefer Eris not just because Aqua endlessly see-saws between being rude bullying and heart-breaking sympathy, but also because as soon as I saw Chris in the opening I was like "okay, that's my favorite character because that is probably Yuffie." And her 3 minutes of screentime also turned out to be "probably Yuffie" as well so prediction delivered.

It wasn't until a throwaway line about the padding that I realized what was going on.

Megumin is a perfect archmage who just happens to embody the nuke. Why can't we make a religion of her and her explosions? There's one about Nanoha and her Starlight Breaker from her anime. :colbert:

Got an email yesterday that the Megumin nendo is delayed until September.

On one hand :negative: but on the other hand I've seen how detail oriented they are about their products so if Good Smile says they need more time, they need more time.

The enemy of my enemy is my enemy.
On the First day, Aqua did spake the question of light and lo'! There was Light. Thus did she then protest that the Light was too bright and lo'! There was Night.

On the Second day Aqua did drink her heavenly sacrament until she let forth a mighty exhalation and lo'! there was the Sky. Satisfied with her work she did then bend over and bless the new sky with Rainbows.

On the Third day Aqua did practice her noble water craft and lo'! The Seas were born. Tiring of mere water craft she sprinkled in rocks and minerals and things and lo'! there was Land that Nature did take root in. In gratification the plants did welcome her into their embrace.

On the Fourth day Aqua did look to the Light once more for she had grown weary that it was only ever on or off. With a mighty swing she scattered the Light throughout the Night and lo'! The Stars were born. Excited at her triumph she did bade the largest and grandest star to be the new Light over our world.

On the Fifth day Aqua did look to her Seas and lamented at their emptyness. Thus did she sprinkle Life in those waters for they brought her cheer. In gratification did the animals of the sea swim and dance with her merrily as they invited her into their realm.

On the Sixth day Aqua did look at her Land and bemoaned at Nature's dominance over it. Thus did she sprinkle Life upon it so that Nature could be kept in check. In gratification the animals of the land did chase her merrily from dawn until dusk.

On the Seventh day Aqua did catch her breath, wearying of the exultation she was given. Thus did she create Man so that he could take gratification from the plants and animals and bless it unto her in a timely fashion. In gratification Man did worship Aqua and the Heavens.

On the Eighth day Aqua grew concerned as Man did stray from her light, giving more worship unto the Heavens than Herself. Thus did she share the greatest secret of the Gods with Man, that they might understand their folly and return to her grace. And thus did Eris wept, as is it should be.

10/10, praise Aqua.

EDIT: Also I went to Summer Comiket and got myself the Turn Undead Aqua shirt. I wanted the Megumin one too, but they were fairly pricey so I had to do some soul searching and ultimately decided Aqua was my true favorite because she is the best of the worst.
