Lord Koth posted: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.)

Josuke Higashikata posted: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. Fan comic. But I heard somewhere that the writer of the light novels saw the comic and liked it, because that is a very Aqua way to handle things.

Kazuma has both nipples and holes in his underwear. I don't know why this is worth pointing out, but it feels worth mentioning.

z0glin Warchief posted:I didn't know anything about this franchise outside the anime, but skimming the wiki it's interesting that the main characters all lost about 3 years of age going from web novel to light novel (Kazuma was 20, Megumin 17, Darkness 22, etc.). I think the web novel ages come from the end of the series, while the light novel ages are closer to the beginning. But I'm not exactly an expert.

The Sandman posted:Well, he does have most of the traits of her ideal man. And from the succubus episode, she's pretty close to his dream woman. They're a pretty good match, really. (I really love how Darkness's dream man is the villain in a romance novel. You get the feeling she spends a lot of time when reading those things muttering about the heroine's letting perfection slip away.)

Yinlock posted:i think he stops just short of genuinely terrible but dude definitely loves bein' garbage The whole cast is in this equilibrium zone where they're decent enough you cheer their success, while scummy enough you laugh at their failures. The balance is key. Too far one way, their perpetual disaster zone lives would be depressing. Too far in the other direction, and you start rooting against them. Neither works nearly as well for the show we get.

Nazzadan posted:I got baited hard when Kazuma was just thinking about how happy he is on this trip with his friends and Aqua said her rear end hurt and she wanted to swap. I don't know why after almost 2 seasons of Scumzuma I thought he would offer to trade, but I did and I laughed when he told her to just keep waiting. And it gets even better, since the reason she needed to sit outside was they were using a seat for the dragon... that was now sitting on Megumin's lap. Aqua's suffering is its own justification.

Kytrarewn posted:Darkness is the best and they keep finding creative new ways to make her shtick better. I like how Darkness's initial intervention was simply trying to deal with the whole mess, and as it went along it became less and less "Help my friend Kazuma be done with this bullshit" and more and more "Yes! Belittle me more!" I assumed back in first season that Darkness's turboperv shtick would get old, but not really. Or at least, more in the style of fine wine than milk.

Paracelsus posted:I think one of the reasons that Darkness' schtick works so well is that a lot of the time she's almost teetering on the edge of being a decent person. I think part of why it works for me is that the answer to "Is Darkness doing things because she's a heroic crusader, or because she's a turboperv?" is usually "Yes." There's individual instances where it obviously goes to one or the other, but most things, it's both, which adds to the fun.

Wark Say posted:Literally any other coffee shop here in Monterrey (México) has better coffee than Starbucks, and even some of the "artisan" Coffee shops are cheaper. If you have a Stop 'n Go, 7-Eleven or similar near you, just get your coffee there. It's gonna be dirt cheap and unless you need to have soy milk or something like that, you're golden. One of the demon king's top generals has suggested he's equivalent to a god. We should show him appropriate respect.

EponymousMrYar posted:This combined with the Konosuba house warnings had me imagine up a scenario where Aqua learns of porn, is disgusted and purifies it to be about angels and cherubs and stuff, finds that even worse and has to cut a deal with the Succubus house in order to fix her colossal mistake. Said deal involves her handing out coupons for it. The problem is that Aqua has no issue with porn. Remember her speech in the confessional? As long as you aren't perving on demons, she's fine with it. You disgusting freak.

Ranzear posted:Because they're awful to each other in ways that are totally believable, considering the circumstances, and entirely deserved. Define "good". And also "competent". Because it doesn't sound like you're using them in the conventional sense. Like, I might be able to argue that Darkness is (usually, for a broad enough sense of the word) a good person, and Kazuma is pretty competent when he actually gets off his rear end, but the party as a whole?

Kanos posted:Kazuma is actually a pretty decent person. He's a lecherous rear end in a top hat, but he always takes responsibility and/or tries to fix it when he or someone in his group fucks something up, even when he could reap a massive reward by not saying anything. He and Megumin were also totally willing to go raid the Dullahan's lair to save Darkness's life before Aqua made the point moot. They're surprisingly unselfish people. Kazuma's interesting, because, on the one hand he's a lazy scumbag creep, but at the same time, he's not just willing to take responsibility for his mistakes, but he's the kind of guy who'd lay his life down for a complete stranger, and his first question on finding out he was dead was about the girl. I mean, he hosed up that "rescue" every which way he could, but his heart was in the right place. As Darkness notes, he's an oddball. One moment he's the kind of thing you want to scrape off your shoe with a stick, and the next it would be an honor to die in his company.

That's why the lovely NEET hero is still kinda a loser, the goddess who reincarnated him only did so because she had a quota, all the world's problems are caused by her throwing teenagers at the previous problems, the paladin's obsessed with the plot scenarios in the doujins her archetype tends to get drawn into, the wizard actually is useless after one shot... chiasaur11 fucked around with this message at 18:39 on Sep 12, 2018 |

Kazuma probably would gripe about him being one of those 'Cheat Characters' that got to enter the new world with a full suite of awesome powers, instead of having to just barely scrape by. Yeah, I think Kazuma and Tanya poo poo-talking the stupid rear end in a top hat god that reincarnated them is much more likely.

A ruthless Tokyo hatchetman poo poo-talks God as he dies, so he's reincarnated as a Magical Girl in alternate universe WWI. Flashman and Cain style difficulties in finding a nice, safe posting away from the front ensue, only instead of having an affable scumbag or an actually heroic sort, Tanya's the sort of person who writes papers on how the latest plan technically isn't a war crime. But, really. Peaceloving and calm person. We swear.

Pharohman777 posted:Albedo is gonna probably be the first, because she is gonna have a grudge against Aqua for having anti-undead powers and she is a mere god compared to the supreme beings, who have slain such things before (in the mmo). Tanya's more likely to succeed. Aqua lives in a house with Darkness and doesn't worry about her breast size. (Honestly, seeing her around Darkness is the only reason you could describe her setup as petite). The god bit is tricky too, because Kazuma has played MMOs, and that background basically just means Ainz is a lovely loser NEET like Scumzuma. (Him actually having a job will do nothing to dissuade Aqua's logic.) Tanya, meanwhile, shits on gods in general, and doesn't have any easy levers for Aqua to assert her superiority.
