The fact that the mother is like laughably evil is way worse than any time travel antics.

I must mention that episode 1 is not even the best episode, the rest are funnier and have better character interactions. For me, episode 2 was what made me love it.
And agreed about fanservice. Some of it is there as a parody of MMORPGs, but I guess most of it is just there for the viewer... Personally, I don't really mind, but I can see why some people won't like it.
I really didn't trust Cornbread about it and I expected a less serious SAO, but this show proved to be a really big surprise this season.
Could just be desperation? I dunno nothing seems all that crazy out of character to me.

Yeah, that's good to hear! I started episode two last night but then I realized I was really tired so I went to sleep instead haha.
I can tolerate fanservice in a show like this. It's in a show like Grimgar, where it really undermines what the show is ostensibly trying to do, that it feels especially gross and out of place. Here, it doesn't bother me, because at least the show is being completely honest and upfront about what it is. I mean, I'd prefer it wasn't there, but it doesn't actively annoy me. I tolerate it.

The other characters of "the party" are just as interesting as Aqua and Kazuma and their interactions have been great so far. Fanservice is fanservice for pandering reasons most of the time. There is really no need for it, but it's there so you can gawk at it, or just ignore it, lol. The comedy of the show is not affected one way or another from it.

It's comedical, stuff like that doesn't need to be "hot".
I even think all the "do people think [x] is hot?" remarks quite tiresome at some point.

It's a legitimate question, though. Bouncing tits aren't just there for laughs. It's there in so many different series, some of which aren't even comedy series. SOMEONE must find it arousing. I mean, I guarantee someone does. It's not even a question. It's just a fucking weird fetish.
Oh, yeah, I completely agree. That limbo gif from uh, what's it, phantom whatever? That's hilarious. Physical comedy is my jam.
(That's not the case in Konosuba, though.)
idk, what are you even judging here. the whole series? It definitely isn't. some background shots in the first episode? I guess. as I already wrote that to me doesn't seem strictly worse/bland just because it has a more greyish/realistic look to it.
whether you think it's bland or not, I wouldn't go as far as ''everything is better'' just by comparing 10 frames to one out of twelve episodes.

This was a half season show? What's replacing it?

That's where you are missing the point of such staff like in KonoSuba.
You are totally not supposed to fap to scenes like when Aqua got out of the cage in the recent episode. I'm not even sure how is it possible to turn it into some fetish discussion.
Doesn't mean you aren't allowed to dislike it but such remarks which some people like to add in every second anime review appears they need to mention how totally mature they are.
Goddamn this show is good! Found myself rooting for the Zeon side D:

It's actually a one/third-season show if we want to get techinical lol, truly next level.
This is all you need if you want to know more (second paragraph)

Aria the Natural 22
Wow, this was a particularly good episode. They introduced an alternate universe idea in the first half and showed a gender bent universe of Aria characters. It even had the same OP song with different lyrics.
The second half was a childhood story of Akatsuki, it was very adorable and funny.

Weird. I guess it is a showcase slot.
I never quite got the effect they were hoping for with that one. Akari with a haircut and different outfit still looks pretty girly with pink hair. I wound up forgetting they were supposed to be guys now at one point.

It's not crazy out of character but still something that feels halfhearted and confusing.
Desperation can explain it only to some degree. Especially when
he was stuck back in the past and couldn't have known 100% whether he'd actually just return or relive all of this (unless he knows more than made clear to the audience) he should've at least thought of this some. Not despair or anything but at least take it into consideration, considering he was stuck there for weeks and thus had time to dwell on it.
Yeah. I basically agree with you, to be honest, but it's just one of those things I'm willing to let slide, I suppose.

It looks very nice. I will laugh if this ends up being a better production than Attack on Titan.
So the girl transforms to zombie/has zombie powers. Okay, it's not even funny anymore, there are more similarities than differences with AoT.
Tbh, I really like how it looks and I like the setting but I have a bad feeling about it. It looks too good to live up to it. If it's better than AoT, I'll be happy though.
This is going to be 24 eps, right?
Whaaaaaaat.
That hurts, really hurts deep...

Didn't you once recommend Irregular in Magic High School to someone? I can understand what he meant.
Konosuba is great though. Hopefully there's another season because only 10 episodes is depressing.
excuse me

Its kind of hard to call it nice and etc when it feels much like a clone. Oh well, it has lots of stuff I Like in anime so I will probably end up loving it. Please get a high school spinoff.
Well. Ep1-3 will probably look very nice. Beyond that though... who knows.
oh that is some bullshit

No one can know for sure, but I don't have the Wit hatred a lot of people have, so I don't have more fear for it falling apart than any typical TV anime production.

Active Raid - 06
What's this, an episode about giant robots? I'll take it.
So in the Active Raid universe they actually developed giant robots, but they had to stop that because of fuel efficiency among others and Willwears were simply more efficient.
Btw this was another really enjoyable episode and I think the show has found its rhythm.

nintendoman, is that you?
Lol this really is Gun x Sword II.
Why does it have to look this ugly even when they're doing a movie?

Kiritobread is Aqua confirmed.
Don't worry. You're trustworthy enough.
;P

A show needs to do more than that to get me to enjoy it! That was frequent in GBF TRY and we all know how that turned out!
Don't make me want to watch this with those 2D robot shots darn it!
Spent all the money on non-stop tankery.

If you want 2D mecha, I just started playing Little Battlers Experience and it's had a lot of animated cutscenes with 2D mecha so far!
Yea, they still looked quite a lot like girls. Their attire also gives that impression despite the pants. It was a surprise for me nonetheless.
Kabenari PV looks good but I'm still going to wait and see how it actually goes.
Huh. Doesn't the tv show use cg tho?
Gundam Thunderbolt 2
I will always be a feddie at heart but i must admit that they did a good job setting up the Zeon pilot.
Hopefully we get some good Gundam VS Gundam action soon now that both sides have one. Seeing zeon scum getting destroyed is getting boring when it's this easy for my boy Flemming.

Oh wow some of those shots are identical to AoT, they even have a ringed wall city. I have to admire how shameless it is at times.
As long as it gives me sustained cool action i'll be satisfied.

No thanks I'll stick to Super Robot Wars. At least there I can watch Shin Getter, Mazinger Z, and Gurren Lagann on the same team blowing things up!
KonoSuba ep 5
Who would have thought Aqua is useful by just being useless. I forgot Kazuma have insanely high luck cause stealing a high leveled curse item from a hero is practically almost zero. I like the small details like during the 4 hours later segment when Kazuma is monologuing you can actually hear Darkness's heavy M breathing.
