KONOSUBA - God's blessing on this wonderful world! - Season 1

First aired Jan 14, 2016Season 1

After dying a laughable and pathetic death on his way back from buying a game, high school student and recluse Kazuma Satou finds himself sitting before a beautiful but obnoxious goddess named Aqua. She provides the NEET with two options: continue on to heaven or reincarnate in every gamer's dream—a real fantasy world! Choosing to start a new life, Kazuma is quickly tasked with defeating a Demon King who is terrorizing villages. But before he goes, he can choose one item of any kind to aid him in his quest, and the future hero selects Aqua. But Kazuma has made a grave mistake—Aqua is completely useless! Unfortunately, their troubles don't end here; it turns out that living in such a world is far different from how it plays out in a game. Instead of going on a thrilling adventure, the duo must first work to pay for their living expenses. Indeed, their misfortunes have only just begun!

Relaxing, positive, likeable characters, doesn't shine in any category but can be funny from time to time and some dialogues are a bit alternative (more direct?) if compared to other animes. In my opinion it's a bit a "slice of life" anime with a fantasy/adventure background, as the main focus seemed to be the interaction between the protagonists. I would have liked it more if it didn't have so many sexual references (if I remember correctly strength and presence varies from episode to episode which was more or less acceptable for me, but the OVAs went over my limit). The overall story didn't progress much in both seasons 1 & 2. I didn't regret watching this series, but it's probably only something to keep as backup when nothing else is available.
