Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!

[KrayZ33]

The life of Satou Kazuma, a hikikomori who likes games, all too soon came to an end because of a traffic accident... It was supposed to, but when he woke up, a beautiful girl who called herself a goddess was in front of his eyes.

"Hey, I have got something a little nice for you. Wanna go to another world? You can take only one thing of your choice along with you."

"...then I'll take you."

From here on, the great adventure of subjugating the Demon King will begin for the reincarnated Kazuma... Or so one would think, but it's the labor for obtaining food, clothing and shelter that begins! Despite Kazuma wanting to live in peace, the goddess keeps causing problems one after another, and eventually, they attract the attention of the Demon King's army!?

Subbed by Chihiro

This show might be good for a few laughs and chuckles. I certainly did enjoy it so far, it's a "what would happen if your life turned into an RPG"-kind of show, where MC has to level up and increases his skills and class. But everyone he meets ends up being bad at what they do (him pretty much included but he seems to be the most capable so far)
Too bad he didn't get starter money or any equipment because he decided to take that goddess with him instead of a talent or a legendary item.
But man, that look on her face when he forced her to come along was most likely priceless in his eyes.

And damn son, that female knight (why are female knights always best girls?)

[shinta|hikari]

This is one of my favorite anime airing this season. Hilarious as hell.

[MFauli]

It´s okay so far.

[Kraco]

Not hilarious as hell for me, but passable so far. I guess I'd prefer a bit more subtle humour in adventure shows, instead of trying to turn everything into a joke. All in all I think at the moment I like more the transferred into an RPG world setting with competent MCs (like Log Horizon or Overlord) instead of these no good people (like this and Grimgar this season). In fact I might even prefer Grimgar over this one because it doesn't feel so forced. Or might have if it didn't look so likely Grimgar is doomed to no progress due to a lack of source material. This at least seems to be getting somewhere. The dude needs to get more suitable clothes, though. That joke is beyond redemption.

[shinta|hikari]

Guys, this is a parody...

That means the entire thing is a joke.

[Kraco]

There are excellent pariodies and then there are parodies that simply reuse all the old jokes.

[KrayZ33]

Guys, this is a parody...

Tale of the Shield Hero has a rather similar setting, but the MC aquires decent/awesome gear and skills.
I'd really love to see him wearing something more suited later in the story (not the adventure cape he's wearing in the picture)
...I've even seen a male-fullplate armor while googleing a picture for this thread, but it could've been the king-devil's for all I know.

[MFauli]

I expected a higher density of jokes. That´s why this show´s been rather mediocre so far.

[KrayZ33]

Any more and this show wouldn't have a story at all and from the premise I wouldn't expect it to become something similar to Miname-ke. The first 2 episodes were basically 100% slapstick humor.

[shinta|hikari]

I thought you didn't get it because you were comparing it to Overlord and Grimgar.

[Kraco]

I thought you didn't get it because you were comparing it to Overlord and Grimgar.

There are only a few specific genres that I could imagine myself incapable of enjoying intrinsically, such as yaoi. Otherwise I was speaking here of the level of entertainment I derive from series. For a while now I've been enjoying more the badass MC setting, no matter if it's comedic (parodic) or serious, than the weakling/underdog one. That is not to say an exquisite series of the other type couldn't click perfectly for me, but unfortunately this one doesn't. Although that being said, I wouldn't have kept watching this if I considered this bad. Choosing the goddess as his reward item already scored high points from me. However, sticking the lousy, uncool clothes doesn't. I bloody hated it in Zero no Tsukaima, and I'm not gonna love it here even if this show considers it mighty parody.

Episode 3 - HS

I have to admit this episode was funny, largely thanks to the M knight and Kazuma's exceptionally proficient pilfering skills. He would have made even Issei proud.

[MFauli]

Meh, the knight is stupid. Kazuma´s team needs offensive power, not a shield.

[Ryllharu]

Wow, another series that you don't understand the concept of.

Color me shocked.

Hint: This series is a comedy.

LOL
On a crusade, eh?

It´s comedy. I made a comment.

[Ryllharu]

Not much of a comment, just more whining that the writers didn't write what you wanted.

Their team is clearly supposed to be abysmally terrible. Three elite classes that are completely worthless. The best fighter in their group is the weakest class with pretty terrible stats.

[shinta|hikari]

And he isn't even a good fighter at all.

@Mfauli - It might be a good idea to write your own story to get rid of the stress you get from things not going the way you want.

[NeoCybercoin]

Well...first time I've seen a masochistic Tank. Works well I'd say.

[MFauli]

I made a comment. I didn´t demand there to be a more offensive member, just that it´d make sense. But it´s not necessary cause its comedy. It´d be different with GATE.

@Mfauli - It might be a good idea to write your own story to get rid of the stress you get from things not going the way you want.

I would. But semester finals begin on monday, so im kinda nervous about that already.

Episode 4 - HS

It's kind of strange the lieutenant of the devil king is one of the more civilized and decent folks around. Though of course it fits this series since every single character seems to be a deviant of some fashion.

The daily routine, whether it rained or was sunny, made me appreciate more the explosion girl. Not necessarily as a combat asset but as a character and personality. She would be highly useful for a platoon or perhaps a company inside an army but not really a small group of adventurers. At the very least actually putting her to good use would require quite crafty planning and meticulous execution of those plans to get anything worthwhile done. But then again, the worthless MC seems perfectly content on wasting his life in that boring town instead of actually going on adventures, so I guess it's all good. And no, I don't count accepting some few hours simpleton mission as an adventure. It's just an errand.
