Will they actually ever leave the starting town?

If by leave you mean "Stop using the town as Homebase" then no. Never.

Who buys a cursed sword only one person, that isn't them, can use anyway?

I was half expecting the obnoxious hero to get his underwear stolen.

Someone who wants to resell it to that one person, preferably with higher markup.

In Kazuma case, the skill steals what the target values most due to his abnormal luck. Luck in this series influences the accuracy/effectiveness of a skill, and the likelihood for crazy bullshit to happen.

Looking at the preview, i guess they're skipping the party swap and brothel episode.

edit: come to think of it why do people even assume its getting skipped? it still fits into the schedule. also so does party swap. its hard to tell what they are adding to the second last episode.

Actually, i'm rather confused with the episode count myself. One of the event said it's 11 episode, some said it's 10 episode with one OVA, some of the episode schedule said it's 12.

Assuming there's only eleven episode in total and they're wrapping up the mansion + new character introduction next week, there's still the dungeon crawl episode, which is very unlikely to be skipped.

This leave two episode left and i can't imagine setting and wrapping up the final boss of the arc in one episode without badly rushing it.

edit: And they still need to introduce her.

Found this after some searching:
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/daily-briefs/2016-01-13/konosuba-god-blessing-on-this-wonderful-world-listed-with-11-episodes/.97470
It's the closest i can get to an official announcement. I'm guessing the confusion results from the BD preorder, which only list up to volume 5.

Well i'll be damned, they're doing the Brothel episode.
I guess they can substitute the other party with random adventurer.

Next week is the finale, so no dungeon crawling i guess. So far all of the skipped chapter are the one showcasing Kazuma's skill growth and competence. Though I appreciate the way the anime showing it is by having him nonchalantly use it, or by showing the changes on his card.



At this point, he learned all of the job-class (including a Lich) basic skills. At the latest translated LN he tried to invent dynamite with his crafting skill, this rather made Megumin a tad bit upset.

Volume 7, Chapter 3 posted:

“The good thing about this is that anyone can use it and doesn’t consume mana. However, it can’t…”

“Fuaahhh!”

“Ahhh!? It took a lot of effort to make that, what are you doing!?”

Megumin ran to the window and threw it with all her might.

“How can I let something like this recreate the ultimate magic so easily! I won’t accept the development of deviant weapons!”

Things that unfortunately got cut in the last episode from the LN:
- The fight against Destroyer security measures. I guess with only one episode to work with they had to skip it. Another plot point to show Kazuma growth as a Skill Monkey skipped i guess.
- The book they found is in Japanese. Proving that the creator of The Destroyer was another Reincarnator.
- Everyone stating that Darkness didn't do poo poo for the whole fight, as stated above.

On the other hand, more Pink-Suspender Dude. I say it was worth it.

I really wish they got enough episode to cover the fifth volume next season. The third volume is the weakest in this series while the fourth is a whole volume of hot-spring episode.

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

Apparently i'm wrong, i mistook the character from the screen as the other monstrous woman with whip who wanted to violate Kazuma. Liking how the anime expands on the artificer dude background.

"Darkness is going to be violated, I'm going to be traumatised, and Megumin is going to cause huge amount of collateral damage that will put us in debt again." For someone with below average intelligence she sure nailed down the party modus operandi.

where the red fern gropes posted:

is there anything similar to this show that i can watch

not expecting the same thing quality-wise because that's a high bar

Mahoujin Guru Guru, though it took some time to hit it's stride. I say give it 3-5 episode first.
