Konosuba is so frustrating. It has so many great elements -- and so many obnoxious ones. It produces such a bimyou, aimai, indeterminate feeling. Sometimes the art and humor is magnificent -- other times it falls completely on its face.
I think my biggest problem with the series is the main character, Kazuma. If he only lived a little more honestly everyone around him could be so much happier. Megumin and Aqua are great enough to merit mention in my fictional character hall of fame, but because he's the protagonist and they aren't the story keeps getting bogged down. Oh well. I've always labeled this series 'good,' as in worth watching. This movie is the same. Good, not great. Worth watching.
Chihayafuru S3 is over. I updated my manga hall of fame to inform people to pick up the manga at chapter 140 to see what happens after the anime. Chihayafuru is such a massive manga you'd need six seasons to cover it all.
Bofuri is getting a 2nd season. I guess that's nice?
The Tokyo Olympics has been postponed. Predictable and predicted. Next watch them cancel the football season.
My fictional character hall of fame spans ~300 separate franchises. That's a lot of art. For so many to have produced admirable characters worth following and befriending is a testament to human ingenuity. If I had my way, I'd stick to these 300 and read their endings, rather than fish around for 300 new franchises' beginnings. But I don't have any choices, I can only go where the translators lead me. If they translate new stuff instead of old, well, new stuff it is.
