カズマ、カズマ！！
はい, カズマです。
Konosuba is by far my favorite anime of all time - arguably I think it's perfect. If I was offered the ability to leave my corporate life and live in the Konosuba universe, I would in a heartbeat. Every time I come back to Konosuba I feel like I am meeting old friends again. Unlike other isekai anime, Konosuba's characters are awesomely flawed but at the same time feel like real people. For starters, the interactions between Kazuma, Megumin, Aqua, and Darkness are hilarious and feel very similar to the way my friends and I joke with each other. I originally heard about Konosuba from a friend in my university-level Japanese class. She recommended it to me and described it as 'the Seinfeld of anime'. I have even seen some other reviewers compare it to other comedy shows like Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Just as those shows have, Konosuba does an excellent job of subverting the tropes found in isekai anime and is very self-aware while doing so. You can really tell that the writers and voice actors enjoy working on this project from the quality and passion felt in this series.

The game itself is full of jokes and really acts as a stage for the characters to interact. The basic premise of the game is that the group must create clothing and gather materials or else face punishment by a noble. The core game play revolves around time and resource management in which you need to procure the required items to make the clothing before the time runs out. Each section is divided into weeks in which you decide what the group will do. Each character has strengths and weaknesses (although this barely matters) that effect how much resources you will gain from each activity during the weekday (like killing toads, fighting undead, or cleaning the house etc.). Sound and graphics are on par with the anime. All dialogue is spoken by the original voice actors and is really well done. Translation has some issues but it's not that bad. if you know Japanese like me you probably won't care as you won't be reading it anyway.

Overall, for the price, treat this game as an OVA or 'mini season' Blu Ray of Konosuba. Time wise, there seems to be about 12 hours of game play if you get all the scenes and craft all the clothing while reading all the dialogue. If you are a hardcore Konosuba fan you probably won't regret being able to spend some time with everyone's favorite dysfunctional band of adventurers.

10/10 - Can't wait for more Konosuba!!
