Episode four is out!!

Last stitch.

>Those still, panning shots with no animation at the start when they've been assigned their groups
Was worried about the animation budget... seems they had other uses for it.

How come the Konosuba party feel like the main characters in this crossover show? How do they all manage to exude immense protagonist energy?

One can even argue that they're the REAL Isekai Quartet.

Fuck Aqua

Mom's spaghetti

I fucking hate subaru and shitmilia, the most fucking boring characters they couldfve included FUCK

>>283506602
Because they are the one cast who doesnt have a large amount of their group exist just to
>SASUGA MC-SAMA

>>283506602
Because Kazuma.

>>283506602
because they're fun, fleshed out characters that aren't entirely 1 dimensional tropes

>>283506602
Kazuma and Aqua are the only ones with a tiny bit of depth here. Megumin and Darkness are one trick jokes.

>>283507079
who would you marry

Every time I watch this show I am reminded of how much I miss Goblin Yuuki

>>283506287
Why does pink woman hate Kazuma?

>>283507113
she's stuck with shitbaru, and copes by being aggressive towards chadzuma

You mean Aqua? Aqua has always been the main character of isekai quartet.

Flying Spaghetti Monsters? fodder to OUR HEROES.

So why did the pasta turn into zombies

>>283506602
Comedy isekai comedy show
Also the konosuba gang have the most personality and they're the most memorable despite having one of the worst adaptations

Why did Wiz do it bros?

Mare simply needs more screen time.

KNOCK KNOCK
OPEN UP YA WINDOW

Oh my God, I actually miss Rem.

>>283506306
if you uses truffles, don't put tomatoes in it too, it will cover the truffles. Also clams is a bad mix too

I've never eaten see urchin, not sure if they would go well with anything there but clams

>>283506602
because they are already from a comedy show

>>283506602
>>283506961
Actually now that you mention it? I think the Konosuba group is the only one here who doesn’t obsess over their MC. Or even compliment him in the slightest. Its no wonder he initially complained to Subaru and hangs out with his group the least in this series from what I’ve seen.

>>283506225
>>283506355
Cute Wiz teru teru bozu

>>283508955
>the Konosuba group is the only one here who doesn’t obsess over their MC
Aqua screams for Kazuma all the time.

Why didn't they just eat the pasta monsters?

>>283509325
It was bad pasta my dude.

Can you tell me about Ainz background? Last episode he was talking about how vegetables were precious in his world. Is it dystopian with video games or something?

>>283506602
I also find it funny how well Kazuma works with Ainz and his crew

>>283508551
I just noticed that none of the rezero cast has aknowledged Rem's existence this season

>>283509524
It's lore from side stories and character bios.
His world is a post nuclear dystopia due to wars between giant corporations and something about eco terrorism fighting back.
They live in domes since the world is a nuclear fall out zone.
>will never be mentioned again btw

>>283506225
YES WIZ IS BACK

>>283506225
my useless wife

>>283506602
Because they already come from a comedy series?
This setting suits them, and both the writers and the voice actors clearly have a large field to work with them.

so that was a lie

>>283509524
It doesn't matter

>>283509966
Don't stand under her she's known to Wiz

>home ec ainz
CUTE

sasuga ainz-sama
a true ruler would never spill their spaghetti

>the pasta is alive
this seems very cruel

BWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

>>283506602
I find Ainz and co. to still have a good dynamic, mainly because they can extend the continuing gag and anxiety of Ainz having to pretend he knows what he's doing. Subaru's group is mostly whatever but I haven't ever read Re Zero so I can't comment on how well they carry over, but Tanya's group suffers the most because their dynamic isn't really suited for this comedy school routine.

>>283506587

How does she do it bros?

This was set up for an Aqua TURN UNDEAD on the pasta and they missed it.

>>283510331
Do Liches need to use the toilet?

>>283507924

>>283506602

>>283510890
Calm down Brosnan

>>283510624
I wouldn’t worry about it

>>283510604
this, shitty writers, probably AI wrote this season

Kazuma cooked surprisingly well for an ex NEET

>>283508551
read WN

>>283506602
konosuba is a comedy, but I think that the parts when they are incorporating references from serious moments and aspects of other isekais in jokingly way is where Isekai Quartet also shines

>>283511397
Wasn't this exact joke used in the actual show with Kazuma even saying she could just turn undead them, but she's still too scared and runs away?

>>283511515
Isn't he a master chef on top of other things simply because he had too many skill points to use by the end.

>>283512218
Blacksmith and a bunch of other minor goofy jobs too
Even by the animes set, though they skipped it like they skip most of his good moments

>>283512385
yeah, they couldve adapted the literal HAREM instead of the shit we got :(

>>283512385
>>283512410
the konosuba director hates romance

>>283512514
I honestly just think he dislikes Kazuma.
Hell they skipped the party swap which is fucking baffling considering it introduced Dust because it showed how massively competent he is without the others to trip him

Is Being X the Flying Spaghetti Monster?

What is the cute and nice Tanya like in this series?

>>283512577
Nah, His Noodliness wouldn't mess with people lives like Being X.

>>283509325
They're a bunch of antipasti

>Rem is sleepy and going to take a little nap

Not like this bros

>>283513757
I wonder what else is going to be affected due to the feedback effect.

>>283507351
I do wonder if firo would've chased the spaghetti to eat it. Naofumi would tell her off about it most likely. Not sure how naofumi's pasta would go, considering his innate talent for cooking and the bonuses his shield grants to his cooking.

>>283506602
they are literally comedy characters
the rest are flanderized and mostly out of character

>>283506704
>More animation than OPM

>>283513757
It keeps happening...

That seems super insensitive and kinda racist. Did Rem actually get swapped out for bitch Rem this season?

>>283512590
Tanya is fairly nice to her allies. Sometimes she indulges them too much that they feel confident in sexually harassing her (Weiss in particular).

>>283514480
Its pretty normal to be racist against zombies.

>>283514382
Ooh yes...
>>283514556
Hey!

>>283506225
sex with a chandelier lich!

>>283510006
I mean in season one Aqua deep fried Ains so friendly fire was never turned off.

>>283514989
why should holy magic be turned off? it's the friendliest magic of all

>>283515089
Indeed, and therefore it logically follows that the friendliest place in the world is the one flooded with holy magic, like the Axis church.
Think about it logically.

um, uh, hello? Yes, I'd like to point out a logical inconsistency in the show.

The self professed goddess Aqua, despite actually being a goddess, is actually an extremely high level carpenter. In the great siege battle against the demon lord general, she not only repaired the local fort that was nearly collapsed, but rebuilt it into a great citadel glistening with statues and holy decorations. She would not replace a broken window with simple pedestrian wood, but instead would replace it with a fully tinted glass mosaic of an ancient biblical tale.

What a silly mistake by the writers who clearly know nothing about Konosuba, but I was feeling generous and thought you guys might want to know.

>>283515368
Thank you Aqua. Very cool.

Wow, Brotto actually knows his name.

>>283506587
why isn't he vegan? Can't he hear the voices of all animals or something

>>283515662
He can understand anything that can make noises. He's also a merchant who tricks bugs into fighting murder tigers and getting slaughtered to avoid having to pay them sugar water.

>>283515662
Otto can hear what they're screaming, but Otto is fucked up like that.

When are they going to add best girl?

>>283515662
He can turn it off, he only gives a fuck about his earth dragon anyway

>>283506524
Poor Wiz.

>>283506524
Disco Wiz

>>283515490
Crazy that Aqua and Albedo are BFFs by now. Always grouped together, and always hanging out together even if only to bitch at each other.

I like some of the crossover subunits, like Aqua/Albedo and Kazuma/Tanya/Demiurge/Ains. I think Grantz has sort of become something of a secondary handler for Megumin when Kazuma's not around? ...Ram just kinda hovers around everyone for a chance to be smug.

>>283516117
They wouldn't have the balls to add Lord of Mysteries

>>283516290
More like they'd have to get rid of their balls for that hahahaha

>>283515136
Aqua please..

>>283506225
Where can you buy chandeliers like this?

>>283508336
All Kazuma has to do is look up and he'd find gold

>>283506225
She's completely exposed...

>>283513757
Final scene of IQ better be Subaru going to the infirmary to check on Rem at night only to find Lye sitting at the corner of her bed and shout “yoooou!”. Then Subaru needs to carry that same energy throughout S4.

>>283514480
Bitch Rem’s response to zombies was to hack them to pieces, which is the same response normal Rem would have (and the correct response)

What's the inside joke here?

>>283518607
Betty's a hoe.

I wish No Game No Life was also there just for the Jibril Albedo interactions.

>>283518607
Not a clue, I could see Meili do that, but I got nothing for Betty. Maybe he's just cool? Its weird that Betty is even talking about digestion since she doesn't eat in a traditional sense and food just gets atomized into mana.

>>283519083
I wish this artist would get over her stupid hang-up and draw sex already

>>283519118
I'm not familiar with that artist except for the Jibril x Albedo stuff. The artist is a woman?

>>283519323
genderbend Kazuma

how do they know what spaghetti is

>>283519366
She doesn't really look that much like Kazuma, notably she's supposed to have three red pupils in each eye but artists often miss the detail. Or in this case a version before her official design.

>>283519316
yeah

>>283519370
every isekai is required by law to reference pasta

>>283519370
Well all the people from earth would know and the tanya crew would have their functional italy equivalent. Not sure pasta is directly mentioned in Re Zero but its within the range of things they seem to make. Overlord I wouldn't put it past there being a dumb huge selection of consumable foods without any rhyme or reason to a single theme. Konosuba likewise is just such a mish-mash it could have anything.

>>283519485
Hopefully she makes a Jibril x Albedo doujin one day.

>>283520470
Nothing, zombies can go suck a dick

>>283520664
I think they realized that there is no good way to use Shield Hero and his animals in this show.

>>283520664
Crazy how that works huh. We got like 4 minutes of class 2 screen time this season and I can safely say we've seen enough, maybe let's revisit it around season 6. In the meantime the show could try creating a class 3.

>>283520973
Betty can't get mana from other people once contracted to Subaru.

Amazing Ainz-sama, I can't believe you deduced Vanir's Death Beams are only activated for instructional purposes to correct Wiz, and therefore OKAY to use in school.

What is Shadow plotting?

So why did the pasta turn into zombies?

>>283525517
It's from Wiz collecting the ingredients

>>283525517
Anything that dies near Wiz passively turns into a zombie if the corpse is around her long enough. Ainz was confused, since he has issues with telling his own undead summons apart (which he doesn't tell anyone about in shame) and genuinely couldn't figure out if they were his own low-levels or not.

Remove one from the original quartet. Replace it with Isekai of your choice. Who will it be?

>>283529679
Take Subaru out, replace with Wolfgunblood from Isekai ojisan.

>>283529679
I remove re zero and add only Beatrice

>>283506177 (OP)
Money that went in to this boring crap, could ave funded Youjo Senki S2 btw.

>>283529679
Maou from The Devil is a Part Timer replacing Toyota.

Yes I know the story went to shit, but the early cast was stellar and perfect for a comedy like IQ

>>283529679
replace REZERO with the MC from savage hero or naoto from ntr isekai.
IMAGIEN THE KINO

I just wish there was a character from older isekai for jokes about how the genre has changed

>>283529679
I like how everyone chose to remove honda

>>283531525
Because it's either him or Kazuma, and konosubhumans are more common.

>>283521286
>In the meantime the show could try creating a class 3.
Do any series have another loner who could join Yunyun's class? They could show them becoming best friends.

Give her a pet rabbit

>>283532197
Kumoko/Shiraori. She's so socially awkward that a friendship could never occur but that's fitting for Yunyun. It's even published by Kadokawa so even that works.

Best dynamics ranked:
1. Ainz and Tanya
2. Subaru and Kazuma
3. Aqua and Albedo

>>283532036
at least shartysuba is SOMETIMES funny, rezero has nothing going for it, its the most cringeworthy of the OG 4 (and overlord is also pretty fucking cringe sometimes, but it goes into cringekino territory)

>>283512514
>>283512569
Yeah the director (or anime scriptwriter) definitely hates Kazuma. I know they only had 10 episodes but they could’ve done an OVA or something. They cut the party swap cause it shows him competent and probs because he disregards the girls’ feelings about the swap too? I feel like the anime tones down his scumminess, first ova being only exception.

>>283514480
Isn’t Rem a giant bitch to people who aren’t Ram, Roswaal, or Subaru? It seems like she’s like Ram just must better at hiding it? Remember her first ever appearance was her and Ram criticizing Subaru in stereo before she fell in love.

I don't count Tanya as a girl.

>>283542232
No, she's simply professionally polite. Before Subaru she'd be more distant about it. Neither twin is above teasing people sometimes, which is what they were doing to Subaru the first time they met.

Sex with Emilia

>>283544381
I'm not sure if its good or bad for him to have had that erased and replaced with them grabbing their hands suddenly which creeped them out.

>>283543517
M.....Mare??

holy shit, i didn't realize this was back on now. its been a long time since i saw season 2, did they add more shows to the roster?

>>283548672
Shield Hero has been sidelined because he's the equivalent of old, dried out cardboard.
Cautious Hero noped the fuck out in the first episode to deal with another SSSS+ difficulty work (lady bafectlee), unclear if he'll hop back in later.
Current crossover is Kagejitsu (the straight edge chunni one).
Movie was a complete waste of time and resources, you missed nothing if you skipped it, just OCdonutsteel instead of crossover shennannigans.

>>283548893
>just OCdonutsteel
Technically it showcased information on an important-ish backstory character for Re Zero and had canon lore about him that isn't anywhere else.

>>283548893
Now that you mention it i kinda do remember the movie. Didn't they have to stop the giant robot from the first season of Konosuba at the end?

>>283548959
They did that in the first session of IQ, actually.

>>283548984
shit, i'm way out of the loop. i'll go back and check old eps a bit as a refresher, thanks anon

>>283548893
the movie did lightly introduce one of the Six Great Gods from Overlord, but that was about it

>>283549008
The movie is them getting isekai'd again and they meet people who are OCs from the other series. Well sort of, the Overlord guy is dead as of backstory and doesn't appear but is one of Ainz' canonical guildmates and the Re Zero guy is also a canonical character who has never otherwise appeared.

>>283549108
>Ainz' canonical guildmates
Errr what this guy said >>283549035

>>283547434
That sounds like Beatrice? The personality of the characters in the show are changing based on their current season.

>>283549145
No, in the actual story of Re Zero. The first time he meets the twins he's staring at them so Ram accuses him of raping them with his eyes and Rem and Subaru play along. But he eventually dies so that never really happens anymore and in the final loop he wakes up and immediately grabs both their hands to check if it felt the same as one of the previous loops where he suspected they were trying to comfort him in his sleep.

>>283549145
>>283549197
As a weird aside, Beatrice is one of the few characters for whom Subaru's first meeting of them and their first meeting of him are the same. He meets Betty and gets knocked out by her before his arc 2 checkpoint.

>>283549197
Forgot about this scene going more into detail in the novel. It's probably a good thing it was erased, since Subaru's mindset has grown a lot

>>283549260
Well its not erased for him and oddly he got along well with them after that, they seemed more legitimately creeped out by him grabbing their hands and the final loop got a bit dicey on them trusting him.

>>283549197
>Ram is a stick with a giant ass
Hot

>>283549281
Good for Rem and Ram, since they'll think he's not just some pervert. Except for Ram's occasional teasing of course.

>>283549328
Well they do though. He randomly grabbed them the second he woke up. Then to try and explain to them how he wasn't a pervert he more or less insulted them (this bit wasn't in the anime)

>>283543600
Valid. No matter how poundable that loli might look, there's a dude inside of it. What isn't valid is your ranking of Emilia. Putrid ass taste. Albedo over Megumin is terrible taste as well.

>>283543600
...but you count Mare? Aura is the sister, they're both traps/reverse traps.

>>283549300
Yes

> Beatrice
Subaru's only real relationship, everything else is cringe and fake and they would hate him if he didn't abuse Return by Death btw

>>283550069
Pretty sure he got along with Garfiel and Rem the first time, dying changed his behavior and made them suspicious.

>>283550478
Garfiel is initially somewhat hostile in general. Then they get along for a bit, then Subaru dies and then he stinks so Garfiel gets mad at him. Garfiel can't directly smell the same thing Rem does that ticks her off after the first loop but his granny can and she tells him.

>>283550069
Emilia gets along with subaru in the first loop
Ram becomes friends with subaru as they work together, even though she likes to throw out harsh comments. The only timelines where she is unhappy with subaru are where her sister is dead or subaru has thrown out his humanity.
Reinhard just feels happy having someone who treats him normally.
For Otto can't really recall how he became such good friends with Subaru but he also doesn't want him to do everything alone and instead rely on others, so no abuse needed.

>>283532641
Unfortunately anime was mess (Kumo parts were fine but not rest). So it is not big enough for crossover

>>283551389
ram is literally always a cunt
shes one order from the clown away from bisecting subaru in any loop

>>283552376
She might have a weird attachement to the clown but she doesn't just blindly follow his orders, arc 4 pretty much proves this.

Can't really recall if any of Rams comments are that hurtful, although that might just be how well Subaru handles them.
