Aqua probably has some amazing buffs she could cast at any time, but instead she would rather laugh at any misfortune Kazuma encounters.

Yeah, I'd say that a lot of the appeal of this show is how well it is directed.

fanservice taken too far is just gross. queen's blade, for example. for this show, it is on the level of "there are female characters who exist and wear clothes". truly horrifying.

Here is Darkness' tragic past: she was raised normally by a nice family.

the danger inherent to wearing anime shirts is that anime fans may talk to you. this is never a good thing.

I can't figure out if megumin and darkness know who aqua is or not and it's bothering me.

I don't think anyone who knows Aqua would believe she is a goddess. Kazuma barely believes it despite knowing for certain that she is.

They believe Aqua is a goddess just as much as they believe Megumin is a crimson demon or whatever.

They do believe Megumin is a crimson demon because crimson demons are just a race of people who are known for 1) being good at magic, 2) having weird names.

Wiz is not a skeleton, so she isn't any kind of lich at all. Just relax and accept it.

That was pretty much the only hope he had for his party members ever improving as people, and now it has been crushed.

It isn't explosions in general that she loves. It is explosion magic which she casts herself.

konosuba is a show about people who fail as humans, and aqua is the biggest failure of them all. who else could be the heroine?

aqua isn't supposed to be human though

that means she failed so much harder since she had a higher starting point

uh, why would she do that when instead she could pump more skill points into making a bigger explosion? the cast speed increase is probably the closest megumin will ever get to an efficient choice.

the full array of passives available is unclear, and that is unlikely to ever change because they are completely unimportant to the story

kazuma is naturally a scumbag but he isn't really a sadist

even though kazuma isn't incompetent like the rest of his party, he is still a scumbag

gimme the GOD DAMN candy
Jul 1, 2007
the party ruins kazuma's life whenever it starts getting stable so he has to constantly struggle. if not for that motivation, kazuma would go back to his loser neet lifestyle in an instant.

aqua either already knows amazing buff spells or could easily learn them, but that would make her useful in every situation so it will never happen

aqua hates and fears giant frogs more than anything else so naturally she would never think to acquire skills to help her deal with them

aqua deserves every bad thing that happens to her. the same goes for kazuma.

megumin is the only character who lives a fulfilling life. darkness gets frustrated when her depraved fantasies don't come true, but megumin only wants to cast explosion and she does so every day.

uh, reason? for casting explosion? such a thing is unnecessary.

i don't think aqua wants to be helpful at all. she just wants to be praised and pampered.

the last few novels introduced and focused on a couple. the anime never covered their stuff, though i think they did appear in one of the original manga series. slayers ending: the girl died, the guy ended up being a semi-independent part of shabranigdo and went revenge-crazy, and right before lina went in to fight him for the last time the last two demon lords who had never appeared before were just kinda hanging out outside.

gintama has been going for so long that a lot of it isn't very funny, but when it hits it hits real dang hard.
