But we can see his lackeys, and they are hilarious secondary characters that bring an even greater dose of humor to the show. And then there’s the cleavage. It is there in spades, and it’s kind of annoying at some point when you remember that boobs do not, in fact, move like that. If it’s not obvious enough, Konosuba takes a satirical spin on your typical isekai plot with monkey paw twists to its characteristics, VERY crude humor, abundant jiggle physics, and the
occasional upskirt shot.
But that’s the thing, it’s satirical. At the end of the day, a satirical take on a much loved genre just doesn’t suit the fancy of some anime fans. Think of it like lunch in the schoolyard. In yester-year, the isekai that were loved were the brown paper-bag lunches atop the skyscraper, the ones you’d enjoy with students who were just like you. Nowadays, isekai like Konosuba are the Lunchables that one rich kid brings in their bright and shiny thermos lunchbox, the ones that
make the less fortunate kids stare with envy. The typical anime fan is the kid that still brings the brown bag containing a healthy portion of all major food groups; the kid that cares not that the rich kid can make a mini pizza for themselves rather than express jealousy about it.
I can sympathize with them.
