#konosuba aqua

I don’t have a full fancast in mind for “Konosuba”, but I was thinking that if we ever get a live-action adaptation, Hailee Steinfeld should play Aqua. 

She’d basically be playing Kate Bishop but without any of the traits that made her likable or endearing. So just an arrogant rich girl who annoys the main character, but now Clint is justified in thinking she’s the absolute worst (Kazuma being Clint Barton in this scenario). 

Also, imagining Hailee Steinfeld with blue hair, either dyed or as a wig, is hilarious to me. 

This isn’t anything new, but I’ve recently gotten into “Konosuba”. As someone who despises the entire isekaigenre (my hate stems from “Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody”, which is a story for another time), I think the reason why I’m digging “Konosuba” is that the show is dedicated to shitting on this trope. The main character’s introduction to the fantasy world is pathetic, everyone in his party is useless, and the plot barely progresses because the team sucks so bad.

And honestly, I love it. It’s like the anime version of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”, there’s something so morbidly satisfying about watching these characters suffer and fail in life. And as someone who hates isekai, it’s doubly satisfying for me.

But you know what’s extremely ironic about this show? Because Kazuma gets shit on for 90% of the show, he’s actually forced to develop as a character since nothing goes his way. Hardships can really shape a character, so even though the point of his character is to mock the typical isekai protagonist, I feel like he has more personality and depth than other protagonists in this genre. 

Also, I’m watching it in both sub and dub. From personal experience, a sign that the show is great is when both the sub and dub are equally entertaining. The Konosuba dub is definitely up there in greatness, right next to “Kaguya-Sama” and “My Dress-Up Darling”. 

Anyways, good show, I’ll give it 10/10 useless water gods.
