Since it has the same staff, you can reasonably expect the second season to have similar qualities to the first season.

It'll probably be 10 episodes long, cut out parts of the LN with little care for coherency, have plenty of good jokes and funny faces and, if we're really lucky, have another episode with as much Kikuta involvement as 9 did.

You'll get an OVA featuring a poorly introduced new character with a scenario that barely involves them and you're going to like it, buster.

Well this Wiz chapter they skipped on S1, wasnt that great, they just go to the cementery and meet her, after some banter with Aqua, but nothing special; the time Kazuma changed teams with Dust is actually pretty fun and Kazuma finally acts like a competent adventurer without much trouble.

That is the one im missing the most.
Kazuma is the glue for the team, without him it crumbles into pieces.

Still mad at how they pulled a Wiz with Yunyun introduction.

if they cover the Axis cult arc, I hope they dont write out Wiz from it, and I hope they show the tranqulity girl stuf if they somehow can.

We should be getting a proper introduction to her, and a small amount if they end up adapting volume 5.

But I can see them being like "remember that girl we had in the OVA!" type of shit.

Yes, I'm still bitter that they did that to Wiz, and I can't help but feel like they are going to keep using that to cut corners.

My guess for the episodes we get, considering a twelve cour:

>Episode 4: Lalatina's arranged marriage
>Episode 5-6: Vanir
>Episode 7-9: Hot Springs City
>Episode 10: Vs. Hans

I don't know if they could fit volume 5 into the remaining episodes, so maybe go into the Megumin prequel?

Just saw an interview with Konosuba's anime character designer and 1 of 2 animation directors Koichi Kikuta.

>He was the First Animator for Princess Lovers and some Working, and these two apparently influenced his decision to have use a minimalist + animating design for Konosuba.

>He was hired by Studio Deen to make another series, but that production was terminated. So Deen asked him to switch to his one.

>On first glance of LN illustrations, he exclaimed "this is way too cute. No way we can animate this." So he decides to concentrate on the animation part.

>The producer only rejected his proposal once and asked him to closer follow LN's designs. Koichi Kikuta made some minor changes to the design and handed the design back.

>The original author never once complained about the design.

>Even though he is the character designer, the other animation director Komatsu Momoka (even number episodes) actually followed his original design better than himself (odd number episodes). Most agrees that his original design and by extension Komatsu's animation is much better than his eventual episodes. He hangs his hat and apologizes for being too carefree.

Remember when the anime design first came out, and every one screamed bloody murder on how he butchered the design? And the whining lasted all the way to episode 3?

There are scenes in the LN where characters try to abuse being cute. Save the moe for cheap exploitation.

More anime should use simpler designs, that's for sure. It lets the animators focus more on actually animating rater than worry about detailed hair strands and costumes.

Until what point though?

Might as well draw them Southpark style or shit.

>>
>>150592105
Kid-friendly anime like Pokemon tend to have rather animation-friendly designs, that's a good base to work with. I'm not suggesting the industry should go down some slippery slope of simplifying designs to the point where things look like cheap cartoons, but a lot of modern anime designs are a burden to animate, which is something that's even pointed out by skilled industry veterans. I guess it probably doesn't help that many shows have to adapt from awful LN illustrations and simplifying things too much will piss off the otaku.

>>Even though he is the character designer, the other animation director Komatsu Momoka (even number episodes) actually followed his original design better than himself (odd number episodes). Most agrees that his original design and by extension Komatsu's animation is much better than his eventual episodes. He hangs his hat and apologizes for being too carefree.
This is so true, Kikuta went too far with DEEN QUALITY

I should add that Kikuta was known as a great First Animator for dynamic fight scenes.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=65854

His style is animation over individual frame quality, which makes him perfect for action sequences.

He rarely do moe/static series. Konosuba is the first time he is the animation director for a 'moe' series.

The succubi are the best part of S1

Am I the only one who actually enjoyed animation in S1
Like yeah it was cheap and minimalistic, but colors are really pleasant, the animation itself is quite fluid and you can tell that the animators have understanding of anatomy but not enough time to draw it in more detailed way.
>>
>>150596061
To be fair though, we do know that the first season didn't have much funding behind it. Just the fact that it was only 10 episodes was enough of an indication of that.

While it was likely his intention anyways to go minimalist, I would say it would be silly to think that budget wasn't a consideration in that decision. Even if it may have largely been his own preference.

>>150596113
I think that was the anon's point, pointing out all her uses in the party to say the "useless" description is stupid.

To be fair though, Kazuma considers her useless because of her lack of thinking when using those skills and just their general best frenemies relationship.

In the sense that entire show would cost less, sure, but that wouldn't mean there's less money per episode. All the other 10 ep series produced by Kadokawa look like any other anime. I just think it's silly to have such a narrow focus on money to the point of ignoring explicit statements by the staff explaining the reasoning behind their work.

>These days, he does mostly OP/ED animation layouts

>Even though he is known for his dynamic scenes, he himself prefer static shots. When he does action scenes, he has to limit how many key frames he is allowed to use, and this bothers him a lot.

>He joined the industry after he watched FLCL.

>He likes doing layout more than animation. He doesn't think he is that good at drawing; whereas designing layouts give him much more satisfactions.
>As an animator, the creation process tends to be iterative, and gradually progresses to good. On the other hand, if he has good animators who understand his intentions, giving them both the layout and his intents often lead to great work in the first iteration. He loves it.

>It is very rare for a chief animation director to do everything like he did for episode 9.

>As mentioned, he designed all the succubi himself. He tried to make them both appeal to his taste. Originally he also wanted to make them more realisticly proportion, but after consideration, he decided to exaggerate their designs such as shrinking their shoulders length and wider pelvis (ie. bigger ass.)

>Kikuta belives the essence of animation is actually not character- it is composition. Before even starting, one should decide the camera position. After that, then one can follow up and decide how to make the characters and composition interesting.

>He also doesn't really think the animation or drawing consistencies (no shock here.) The composition is the most important. He never tried to correct any of the faces deformalities in the anime. If possible, he'd prefer to have 1 First Animator responsible for an entire series.

>The character designs are hugely influenced by Shingo Suzuki and his works "K" and "Princess Lovers". One can see the influence with he uses shadows, eg. shadow under the nose

>He is the Secondary Animator for the bath scene in episode 9. He loves drawing nude bodies; he also thinks it's easier than drawing clothed bodies.

I don't even know why they even decided to produce the second season.

The first season was made to promote the LN, they succeeded the LN made literal million. Everybody that would've bought the LN already bought it. So why do they even care making the second season?

squash and stretch is fine when it's at 24 fps since it's barely noticeable and accomplishes conveying a quick motion. anime's 12 fps makes it really jarring when it's so noticeable.

The first part of the second season would probably a bit weak. It adapt Vol. 3 which is Darkness centric volume and is somewhat regarded as one of the weaker volume.

The second half is pretty great though, especially for Aquafag.

The question is whether they'll adapt Vol. 5 which Megumin centric and full of moe scenes.

I'm pretty sure that Kazuma has a free pass at fucking the whole harem, but doesn't succeed for the manliest reasons possible.

He doesn't fuck Aqua because she's dumb.
He doesn't fuck darkness because she's too butch
He doesn't fuck megumeme because she's too invested in her profession
Iris because too young.
Eris because Haram.
Wiz because corpse.

The secret is Kazuma set the bar too high by looking for a simple sweet girl that enjoys being a house wife. He wants the perfect girl.

Is not a reason to not fuck Darkness especially considering how sexy he thinks she is. This goes for every reason on the list.

The actual reason is because Kazuma is traumatized when his childhood friend ends up dating a chad, that's also why he is a NEET.

>>
>>150602282
>He doesn't fuck Aqua because she's dumb.
It's not because she's dumb, he constantly goes on about how beautiful she is and how much her personality ruins it. It's less "she's an idiot" and more like he can't stand the waste of good looks on someone with that kind of personality (which is pretty similar to his own).

>He doesn't fuck darkness because she's too butch

What the fuck are you on about? When the hell has Darkness been butch? She's the most lady like of any of them outside of her fetish. She likes to wear dresses and shit. The reason Kazuma doesn't go after her is because he is afraid to cross that line, and also because her fetish sometimes disturbs him.

Did you miss the part in volume 7 when she explicitly asked him to take her virginity and he intentionally ruined it with an ab joke?

>He doesn't fuck megumeme because she's too invested in her profession
Not really accurate, though partly true. He's mostly against it because he doesn't know if his own feelings are real, or if he's just desperate. Also he thinks she can be a real idiot at times, though he later becomes accepting of the whole Explosion obsession.

>Iris because too young
And yet he goes on about how if she asks to marry him in a few years he would accept in an instant.

It's more like he does worry about the difference in status despite what he says. And he legitimately wants whats best for Iris, since living with her and seeing how lonely her life gets.

>Eris because Haram.
Pretty sure he would jump at the chance. Though it looks like he is more into their banter dynamic at the moment.

>Wiz because corpse.
Not an actual reason stated in the story, but I guess that makes sense. He probably understands that it would be weird to go all the way with an undead person hot or not. Though that hot springs volume somewhat puts that to question.

Luck is Kazuma's defining trait.

Even so the fun part is watching him use his limited power to cheese his way through disaster. It is a million times more hilarious to defeat a Sphinx with a feline's natural nemesis- the laser pointer- than to simply "MOAR POWER" his way to victory.

The manga adaptation have the party going to Japan, which I don't think was in the LN. Would be quite cool seeing them in Kazuma's world.

Konosuba was most likely funded to promote the LN and the succeed, and second season anime rarely attract a lot of new viewers, so the people that would probably buy the LN probably already do.

>Deen didn't actually want to work on this show, that's why they gave no budget, assign their B team (while their A team is working on Rakugo) and hires cheap new VAs.
>It was a surprising success (manage to majorly boost LN sales) and had a decent BD sales too (helped by the weak season)
>They don't actually want to keep working on the show, but Kadokawa somehow ask them to make a second season
>Deen won't reject free money, but they still don't like the series and keep half-assing it, maybe even gave it even lower budget than the first season so they had an even bigger margin.

>>150605557
I also heard the director (same guy that direct Konosuba) retconn a lot of things to favor his favorite girl.

KonoSuba S1 had the right amount of:
-Moe: Megumeem when she wasn't being a chuuni, Aqua when she wasn't annoying as fuck, Luna and Wiz.
-Sexyness: Dorkness, and Aqua when she wasn't being annoying as fuck. Megumeme for the pedos.
-Comedy: Scumzuma and Aqua banter is comedy gold. And in general all the VAs gave their share to make it funny as hell.

Now not only they look way different than the LNs designs, but they look nothing like S1 ones.

Considering all of the fan comments, it's not surprising Kikuta thinks he did something wrong. Even here people were constantly talking shit about the art in the show.

Guys i'm scared

I don't think DEEN realises it was Kazuma who carried the show

I fear they might make him more docile this next season to appease the SJWs and thereby remove his banter with aqua. i fear they may put too much focus on megumeme and try to make her "moe moe" for the weaboo fags. I fear they may make kazuma a side character and include too much fanservice. it scares me but these things could potentially ruin the series. imagine a constant blush design on megumeme or aqua

Anon I think your irrational fear of the SJW bogeyman has driven you insane.

>>150612846
except the pandering sjw part, this is what's going to happen
theyll push megumeem to become a moeblob and force kazumaxmegu interactions

OVA suffered a bit because of that, but in the end, i doubt DEEN will fuck up the adaptation.

The OVA was the best episode.

kek, Japan barely has equality movements, much less batshit people latching on to them.

They have angry moms "think of the children" though.

Oh, every place has those.
But I get the feeling soccer parents still have less of a voice in there.

Does S2 have a new anime character designer or something?

The new designs look so thick

It's not probably it's fact anon, look at them all. How could you not say they are the best part about the season? They even let you have your waifu

>>150605295
They look like mascots on a cheap box of cereal, is this what the japanese fans wanted?

Why don't we have sex dream-granting succubi in real life?

The 3D world is a fucking terrible place.
>>
how are the nips at 2chins taking the news
>>
>>150617694
Because of that very reason, we live in a horrible place, we don't deserve such blessings as succubi. Maybe one day when we earn the right we'll get them anon

It's okay guys, Akashic Records is also getting an adaptation, maybe her illustration will be more appreciated then.
