What's up with people liking Konosuba on /a/?
Why do they like such a shit series? Why are they such cancerous retards? Will we ever get rid of/purge them?
>>155444640
But what don't you like about it
>>155444687
What exactly is good about it? And plus, even if their were anything good about it, most threads on /a/ are just circlejerking on which girl is "Best", and that's how you can really tell a series is shit.
It has some good soundtrack for example.

>>155444844
And? Plenty of shit series get decent soundtracks, it still doesn't explain why it's so beloved when it's so fucking shit.
/a/ is not your hugbox.
Anon can like whatever he wants.
>>155444640
Trolling on /a/?
More likely than you think...
>>155444785
Would you like to actually answer the original question, anon
>>155444955
See >>155444991
Notice how a trip is defending the cancer? If that isn't how can determine the quality of a show, then i don't know what can.
>>155444640
>Stop liking what I don't like! REEEEE
>>155445139
See >>155444955
The original sonic games aren't bad due to a shitty fan base
>>155444989
welp, that's makes it less shit.
>>155445139
Or maybe even the trip is smarter than you, you might want to reconsider life.
Muh dick
Because /a/ is full of modern kids who think faggots screaming and ecchi jokes are really funny.
>>155445121
Sure. It was decent at first, some funny jokes aimed at other isakei and RPG tropes, then it slowly slid into a harem comedy, and character interactions started to turn into the same thing, along with character development that almost literally becomes non-existent after the first season.
It was like i was trying to watch a series that wanted to find its identity, found it, and then completely forgot what it wanted to be and started to look for a new one.
>>155445184
>stop shitting on what i like REEEEEEEEEE
>>155445372

>>155445305
How much i wish this wasn't true.
>>155444640
delete this
>>155445202
Yes, but it was the first of it's kind when it got released, unlike Konosuba.
>>155445412
He's not making threads complaining about people not liking it now is he
>>155445608
There were hundreds of sidescrollers before Sonic you moron.
>>155445608
Fine use Undertale as an example I guess then
>>155444785
Damn, I guess there has never been a good series then.

Lemme guess, Reddit likes this, so we have to hate it, right?
"EXPLOSIONS!!"
>audience laughs
"KAZUMA KAZUMA HELP MEEEE!!!!"
>audience shrieking with surprise laughter
"AAAAHHHH PLEASE HURT ME MOOORE I ENJOY PAIN!!!!"
>audience laughing themselves silly clapping themselves raw
>suddenly Kazuma makes a hand gesture and something appears in his palm
"UHUHUH I STOLE YOUR......PANTIES HAHAHA!!! IMMA SUCH A PERV!!!!"
>audience stands up roaring with applesauce and cheering
>>155444640
Personally, I like it because Aqua gets shit on just as much as Kazuma, and to a lesser degree, Megumin and Darkness, and everyone else. Slapstick equality, man.
>>155445832
>applesauce
Fuck off phoneposter
>>155445795
Let me guess, people hate it only because reddit likes it, right?
It's a good show.
I'm sorry you don't like it, OP.
>>155444640
I bet OP is a Canadian.
I liked it a lot when it premiered. I was a NEET for awhile and Kazuma's relatability drew me in. There were fanservice elements but it was never too much. The show made me laugh and also made me care about the characters.
>>155444640
Hey anon. I just received the first BD volume today, it is nice.
>>155445372
Did you even watch the show ?
>>155446370
>also made me care about the characters.
How exactly? They were all just so boring. Replace tsundere with a cry baby, keep chuuni, and instead of a erotic, sexy lady with a masochist. Boom, you got your cast of shitty, pandering characters v2.
Then Kazuma, oh god, Kazuma. He could have been a very interesting character, but nope, make him stay a virgin so that retards watching/reading the series can relate and go "I would totally do that, lol!"
It's waifubait disguised as comedy, accept it already
I'm losing my touch, nowadays I can't even tell baits from genuine retards.
>>155446635
Like how in the dungeon where we see Aqua really caring about people. It made me realize that she's trying to be a good person but she struggles with her flaws, just like me
>>155446635
So people have to have sex to be interesting?
>>155445832
XDDDXD XPXPXPXP :^))))))))))))))))

>>155444640
It's shit, just like Re:Zero. For some reasons teenagers from /a/ like stories about pantzu and tits. You can guess it doesn't take a lot of effort to make them.
It's popular on MAL and reddit, you can guess what kinf of people like it.
>>155447633
>You can guess it doesn't take a lot of effort to make them
Most definitely in KonoSuba with the shitty quality, most of it looks fucking horrendous.
Re:Zero i agree, though that already got shit on by most on /a/.
>>155448064
Everyone?
>>155448064
What show is popular here but not there?
>>155448839
Kemono Friends
I unironically enjoy Konosuba. Purge me.
Konosuba is a lighthearted comedy with likable characters. If you don't see those things in the show, or if you don't value those things, that's fine. But the real question here is, what's up with people liking things that I don't like?
>>155444640
>STOP LIKING WHAT I DISLIKE
Seriously?
Fucking seriously?
>>155449485
Welcome to /a/. Please enjoy your stay.
>>155445832
Yeah, I haven't watched Konosuba either. Do you think I should check it out anon?
>>155449875
Yeah anon, what's the name of that Konosuba where Darkness doesn't repeat her masochist gag every episode? I'd like to watch it.
>>155449970
I believe its the first episode of Season 2
>>155449210
What makes them "likable"? They literally have zero original characteristics.
or is "Likable" a new buzzword for anime character that are just terrible? Like when people started to call Subaru "realistic".
>>155450446
They're all horrible assholes that are relatable. That's the appeal
>>155450744
You don't know what a horrible asshole is. Konosuba's characters are just dumb.
>>155450744
>They're all horrible assholes that are relatable
Oh, so i guess Re:Zero IS a masterpiece, considering it had plenty of asshole characters
>>155444640
Oh look, shitposter-kun's thread about bashing Re:Zero got derailed so now he's targeting Konosuba fans. How are you not banned yet?
>>155444640
Hate thread lol.
What do you expect to get from this anon? Less people to enjoy the show? Why are you such a loser?
>>155445372
Its like you didn't even watch it
Oh wait, you didn't watch it
>>155444640
>literally stop liking what I don't like: the post
Don't you have better things to do with your life?
>>155445256
OP literally has worse taste than a tripfag. Really makes those neurons fire.
>>155450446
Excution is all that matters.
>>155451792
Then why does it suck so much?
>>155445832
You actually make a really good point...
To be entirely honest it does just boil down to all that.
>>155446370
>Kazuma's relatability drew me in.
Initially it did for me as well, but immediately was lost.
I doubt a NEET would maniacally laugh in front of girls like he did when he chose Aqua to come with him. Plus he gets paired up with a little cutie and a blonde masochist and never once drops his spaghetti in a NEET fashion. Not to mention he finds work almost immediately after joining the guild, something a NEET would never be able to do within a day.
There was also that whole panty situation.
He's just too bold and outright for the character he was supposed to be.
Has Drawanon abandoned us?

>>155452234
NEET is not the same as autistic socially inept shut-in.
>>155452368
Bullshit, they go hand in hand and you fucking know it.
NEET is just a nice way of saying someone is a socially inept robot, shut in, and autist.
>>155452368
If he didn't want to find work where he came from, why the fuck would he want to find work in another world where he would have even LESS understanding of everything? It makes zero fucking sense!
>>155452493
Not at all. People get stuck without a job for a variety of reasons. Being a NEET isn't a permanent thing for the vast majority of people.
>>155452539
Because without quick and easy access to numerous forms of entertainment via the internet, what the fuck else is he supposed to do?
>>155452556
>Being a NEET isn't a permanent thing for the vast majority of people
Except Kazuma didn't want to do ANYTHING! Not even attend fucking school!
>>155452556
And yet Kazuma was literally locked up in his room playing PC games only to venture out of his cave just to get a new fucking game. If he was having a tough time looking for work then that's a "fine" way of showing it.
He was supposed to be this shut in self insert for us to relate to but loses all reliability as soon as he makes friends with a hot goddess, gets a job, and literally gets a low key harem that he spends time with everyday.
>>155452595
Back before the internets, people had to amuse themselves with rape and warfare.
Better days.
>>155452641
He did attend school, though.
>>155452687
If you want to read a story about an autistic socially inept shut-in then go read one. Kazuma is clearly not that guy.
>>155452752
No, after he seen his "Friend" from school dating someone else, he decided he didn't want to stay in school and stayed home all the time and played games.
fuck off dude Konosuba is the best anime I've seen in years
>>155452820
>Kazuma is clearly not that guy.
My point exactly.
The story sucks you in thinking you can relate and suddenly becomes nothing but a young man getting surrounded by girls, becoming a hero at time, being a bold pervert, and repetitive stale jokes that grew old before the first season ended.But in the end I still liked it and I hate myself for liking it.
>>155444785
/a/ will debate which girl is """best""" for any series with two or more girls in it. That doesn't mean a show is shit. The real reason Konosuba sucks is that it's not funny.
I like it because I like girls with light blue hair.
It would be a lot better if Megameme wasn't in it. She is a shit character and the only people that like her "xD explosion! lel xd" are people that don't like anime and only watch it ironically.
>>155453026
>that animation QUALITY
Oh,, wait, the animation is totally supposed to look like that, so i can't shit on it.
>>155453041
>The real reason Konosuba sucks is that it's not funny.
This really is the sad truth once the hype went down...
>mopey, cynical guy that is a pervert
>girl that just screams and cries ALL THE TIME, taking any & all shit from Kazuma
>girl who yells explosion once a fucking day and acts horny over explosions
>girl who's horny masochism shtick was stale after the first 2 minutes
Don't even get me fucking started on Darkness' screen time. She almost made it unwatchable for me.
>>155452287
'no'
>>155446635
>i can't insert as the MC cause i would totally fuck all of them.
>>155444640
It's actually pretty funny. Anyone who says "kek 1D characters" never actually saw the show.
>>155453703
It's not even that, it's just, he makes no moves even though he is clearly a pervert. He has no real romance to those he has known for awhile now, but he still tries to act like a pervert?
What does he want? Does he want be a sexual deviant, does he just not like the girls in any sexual way, but if so, why does he still act like a pervert to them? What the fuck is the character trying to fucking?
It's the same reason i don't like Sora from No Game No Life. He obviously wants to have sex, but he doesn't at the same fucking time.
>>155453854
He's a NEET loser and none of the girls are actually into him.
>why do people like an entertaining parody/comedy fantasy show with a touch of serious plot from time to time
The formula worked with Slayers and it works with Konosuba - complete with Megumin being based on Lina Inverse.
>>155453896
>He's a NEET loser
Then why the fuck does he go adventuring if he's a "NEET loser"?
>>155453134
>people that don't like anime and only watch it ironically
I know you're baiting but still.
>>155453958
Because he needs to eat and there's no welfare in medieval fantasyland.
>>155453995
>Because he needs to eat and there's no welfare in medieval fantasyland
Isn't he fucking rich now, though?
>>155453958
he was a NEET in the real world.
the only reason he wanted to become an adventurer in the new world was to live the fantasy that made him a NEET
>>155453839
To be fair, Darkness is *LITERALLY* a one joke character in S1. I like Konosuba but even I was getting very tired of her. She improves in S2 at least, but I wish they'd give her more character so she could have more comedic versatility.
Even "le explosion girle xD" is good for plenty of gags
>chuuni
>poorfag
>bully to yunyun

>But he also won't stop being a NEET loser
What the fuck is this kind of thinking?
>>155454187
That's some other faggot, anon. You're not giving me (you)s by replying to him.
>>155444640
parodies and """deconstructions""" has a greater tendency to attract shit fans
>>155444640
>>155454187
>escapes the real world by living a fantasy life through video games.
>gets put into a fantasy RPG game where he can live his fantasy, no longer needing to be a NEET.
i dont get what's hard to understand.
>>155454668
Then why not fucking do what losers and NEETs normally can't?! He can do almost anything now, but he still hasn't even TRIED doing anything other then dicking around!
That's not being relatable, that's fucking shit, pandering writing at it's finest!
The characters are good. Kazuma is actually funny. I want to know what you think about main characters from other shows. Do you like the obnoxious "i have to cry autistically when a girl just looks at me" type of character? Do you like the "the main character stresses himself until he has an autistic meltdown, and the girl tells him everything is ok" type of character? Well sorry Konosuba isn't like that.
For OP's meritorious efforts in the name of the League of Cancerous Shit-Posters, we award him his very own mascot character and a license to piss on other people's Cheerios, rain on their parades and over all take a massive shit on everybody's fun. Go forth and make the world as homogeneous as you desire!
>>155452234
But that's what was relatable for me. I'm not a virgin and I eventually found a decent paying job to support myself with. In /r9k/ terms one might call Kazuma and myself failed normies.
>>155454954
>Well sorry Konosuba isn't like that.
You're right, it's about a character who does literally nothing different, just instead of being an autistic cry baby, he's an autistic asshole, who still doesn't do anything, just like every other Isakei MC.
>>155454852
Becuase he is the dame person he was in the real world and not some overly talented MC like he hoped he'd be. he find out that in the first episode.
>>155455193
Subaru was also that kind of character.
>>155455252
Subaru was a flaming faggot though, so its pretty different.
>>155455382
Not, it's really not. Subaru thought he was going to be handed everything, but never did, Kazuma WAS handed something from the very start and still gets shit (Like money).
>>155444640
/a/ is full with moefags ! also it's not a shit show the characters are likable , voice acting is great and this is the only thing that makes it actually funny
>>155455529
>characters are likable
>if i like the characters, it mean the show is good
God, i wish nu-/a/ would just fucking die.
>>155455479
Subaru is literally immortal.
Within his first two days in the new world, he met and rescued some sort of princess, and got to live in a mansion from then on.
>>155455781
Is it really immortality if you can (and do) die?
>>155455917
Yes
>>155455917
It's immortality if you can put yourself in situations that would normally kill you without hesitating because you know you're not in any real danger.
Take that as you will.
>>155456876
Then it's more like nigh-invulnerability. He can die, but it is far harder to finish him off
>>155451056
Funny thing is that these retards over here are actually replying to his bait
