KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! is an anime television series adapted from the light novel series of the same title by Natsume Akatsuki. The series follows the adventures of Kazuma Satou who, after he dies of a heart attack after pushing a girl out of the way of a truck, which turned out to be a tractor, is sent to an RPG-like world, going on various adventures alongside a goddess named Aqua, a magician named Megumin, and a knight named Darkness.
Produced by Studio Deen, the series was directed by Takaomi Kanasaki and written by Makoto Uezu with character designs by Koichi Kikuta.[1] Spanning two seasons, the series adapts the first four volumes of the light novels, and was followed by a 2019 film which adapted the fifth.
A third season and an adaptation of the spin-off series An Explosion on This Wonderful World! was announced in May 2022.[2] Drive replaced Studio Deen, who produced the first two seasons, as the series producer. An Explosion on This Wonderful World! aired from April 6 to June 22, 2023. The third season is set to premiere in April 2024.[3]
