Based on a series of light novels by Natsume Akatsuki and Kurone Mishima, the first season of KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! first aired in 2016. While the second season of this hilarious parody of fantasy and Isekai anime premiered less than a year after Season 1 ended, fans had to wait seven years for Season 3. Fortunately, they won't have to wait nearly as long for their next adventure with Kazuma, Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness.

KonoSuba Season 3 ran from April 10, 2024, to June 19, 2024. As of September 15, 2024, fans of KonoSuba Season 3 have a newly announced Ova to look forward to. Information about the Ova is currently sparse, as it is unknown how many episodes it will be, and which animation studio will be behind it.

KonoSuba is finally entering the third season of its anime adaptation, leaving some fans wondering...

There are many extraordinary powers and abilities across the isekai genre within anime. Some powers are extremely overpowered, while others are more niche, but all of them are typically unique within the world the protagonist finds themselves now inhabiting. Isekai is filled with power fantasy across the board, but that doesn't neccessarily make it a bad thing. Some of the most clever magic systems and abilities created in fiction are from the isekai genre. Many fans find the genre appealing for its focus on escapism and power fantasy that draws viewers into fantastical worlds with extraordinary creatures and people.

Not all isekai are created equal, however. For every gem within the genre, there's a dozen rip-offs and clones of what made a particular story popular. And isekai itself contains many sub-genres as its popularity among anime fans continues to grow within a landscape of titles trying to be the next big hit.

Isekai anime has become the most common representation of the medium, with many of the latest shows in the current season of anime being within the isekai genre. Of course, this has made things more than a bit played out, especially given how repetitive isekai can be. Nevertheless, there are several examples of these sorts of shows that can be binge-watched ad nauseam, and many of the best of their kind.

Some of these shows simply pull off the isekai tropes and formula to a T, acting as the perfect anime comfort food. In other cases, they're subversions of what fans expect, and that's especially the case with old-school isekai. Regardless of where they fall within these spectrums, these anime take a genre that some have come to hate and showcase it at its best.

KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!'s Aqua falls down the rabbit hole and takes on the role of Alice in Wonderland with a new fairytale-inspired figurine. Although not formally affiliated with the Disney brand, the overall style of Aqua's outfit seems to take at least some cues from the classic 1951 film, while still keeping Aqua's typical style and color scheme in mind.

Now available for pre-order from AmiAmi, this new collectible is marketed for 21,780 yen (roughly $US140).

The following contains spoilers for KonoSuba Season 3, Episode 1 "God's Blessings on this Bright Future!"

After amassing a worldwide fan following on the back of its first two seasons of oddball humor and bizarre developments, KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! blessed its fandom with even more hilarity through an absolutely bonkers movie and spin-off before disappearing from the public eye forever.

Or so it seemed, until the popular Isekai parody announced its return with its usual suspects: the unlucky Kazuma, the danger-magnet Aqua, the one-hit wonder Megumin, and the masochist Darkness. Season 3's premiere comes almost five years after the release of the movie, Legend of Crimson, the echoes of which still linger in the opening episode "God's Blessing on this Bright Future!"

The light novel series ended in 2020 with 17 volumes, but the anime adaptation is still ongoing, and it is heaping up for its third season, which is set to premiere on April 10, 2024.
