No. My group is worse than that.

>that guy who thinks they're playing WoW, makes a tank and uses dex as a dumpstat
Not only is KonaSuba about MMO cliches, the blonde one isnt min-maxed poorly she just fetishizes being a meat shield to the point that she is useless as anything else.

Also, pic related.

>>the blonde one isnt min-maxed poorly
>misses every attack

at least the boring bumfuck normal guy knows the correct way to being challenged to honorabu combataru

>That guy who thinks he's an incredible DM but he just keeps reusing the same shit over and over

Defeat by modesty/embarrassment, the only honorable manner of combat.

yeah, if it ever gets another season, it would be fun for the epic big final battle to conclude with her, SOMEHOW, landing a blow... and it doing Mob Psycho 100 levels of damage.

>that one guy who keeps making shitty /a/ threads on Veeky Forums that are only tangential to traditional games.

I don't see how that applies, considering she's a total bitch, and regularly gets called on it.

Best post

I'm not going to complain about Dungeon Meshi threads and neither should you.

But a lot of people love being contrarian for the hell of it, so I guess you will.

Part of min-maxing is being bad at things you don't care about.

Hate all you like, but all your min-maxed edgelords would still be brooding in dark tavern corners.

Dungeon Meshi is based off of tabletop cliches, so Dungeon Meshi crossboards to Veeky Forums. Konosuba uses MMO cliches, so Konosuba crossboards to /v/.

He gets beheaded and all their major victories are Pyrrhic (for their wallets)

That's not fair on evocation-dude. He can use other builds too! His problem is different.
>that guy who can only play one character personality

Konosuba has no MMO cliches, it's a mix of JRPG and P&P parodies. Unless you count monster-hunter style online lobbies as MMOs which they aren't.

This is the face of a man who realized that having your own harem isn't all it's cracked up to be.

What's the reference?

Shouldn't Dungeon Meshi crossboard to Veeky Forums?

I think there was that succubus dream episode where, iirc, it was ambiguous if he screwed the paladin or if it was a dream. but i'm not the guy you replied to, so

No he just got a bathhouse treatment before the invading succubus got captured by the other girls, disrupting his massage time.

It was presumably the only thing saving Darkness's purity from herself.

>That one guy who keeps RESPONDING to said shitty /a/ threads.

At least Dungeon Meshi keeps things vague enough that it could be about EITHER MMORPGs or Tabletop RPGs.

It's actually uses really early generation RPG games like Wizardry as its main inspiration. That's why it seem a bit like both.

In the LN Kazuma and Megumin are falling for eachother

You should since it's not tg

>that guy who plays a boring bumfuck "normal" person in a fantasy setting

God damn, if it weren't for that guy every single fucking party would be made up of an assortment of tieflings, dragborns, goliaths and gnomes.
God bless that guy for grounding the party at least a little bit.

>that chapter when he trades places with a member of an actually well-assembled/normal party

He absolutely would have traded permanently if given the option.

WHAT

I can see where that would come from, but that still seems to be a bit of a shift in tone from the parodying of the trapped in an fantasy world harem bullshit

Season 2 already scheduled for this winter

I watched Slayers dubbed like 11 years ago. Should I go back and watch it subbed?

Yeah, I figured. I was a teenager at the time, didn't know any better, and was visiting a relative who had the entire series on videotape.

Source for it being scheduled coming winter?

>that guy who thinks they're playing WoW, makes a tank and uses dex as a dumpstat

Why do people keep doing this? Why do CRPGs keep doing this?

"Harem" would imply that they actually let him see things. Poor guy is just some lad yanked into what's probably a 3rd world country from his PoV.

He's not playing his cards right, though he has the occassional flash of brilliance.

Dex was a good stat for tanks in WoW, but you had to make choices on what stats to prioritize and Dex was lower on the list.

anichart.net/winter

It basically progressively becomes a harem in the novels. Just straight up. All of the girls are directing their fucked up love deficits (really fucking needing attention, legitimate crush, horny masochism, etc.) at him more and more.

Konosuba is Akatsuki's glorious femsub magical realm so it was bound to turn out that way.

It seems like a mixed bag, but they really do actually work remarkably well together, even if it's mostly Kazuma herding fucking cats. For all the bullshit and nonsense he has to deal with, Kazuma and his misfits lead pretty carefree lives because when they stress too hard about the small stuff they all just loath themselves so damn much.

rule of funny, if shit didn't keep dragging Kazuma is, we wouldn't have a plot

He absolutely says he would. But would he really? Would he really really?

Because Megumin is the most popular girl (even though the animu did its best to push Aqua). She's also the one who's least, uh, mentally ill about her feelings.

Fuck sake, dropped.

You're just saying that because you don't actually have any idea what I'm talking about and assume the worst out of fear of the unknown. Come Winter you'll be back and DEEN will find a way to your heart. Just you wait, unbeliever.

oh. okay. she is probably the best girl out of the bunch.

KonoSuba is not about MMO cliches, it's about P&P and JRPG cliches. Natsume Akatsuki is a tabletop nerd before she's a vidya nerd. The Adventurer's Card is meant to represent a character sheet.

Kind of.

One of the chapter cover pages clearly shows a dungeon map drawn on graph paper.

So really it's all 3.

Nyarko was best girl though.

>as she is crazy and clingy

Aaand he fears it's all a ruse by Nyarlathotep-as-written-by-Lovecraft and the moment he lets his guard down the SAN CHI PINCHI will become very real. He is too genre savvy for this shit. Given the occasional hints, especially later on in the novels (had to keep this shit going on somehow), his fears aren't totally fucking unsupported no matter how bullshit they probably are in a meta sense.

>"But user, why the fuck would the Soul and Herald of the Daemon Sultan go to the trouble of crafting as intricate and involved a cosmos as the one Mahiro finds himself in?"

Crawling Chaos don't gotta explains hit.

>Big Final Battle

Yeah no, we aren't even at that in the LNs which are at like 8.

>The author of KonoSuba is a woman is a woman

That actually explains why Kazuma isn't a spineless wimp. I've been wondering about that for a while.

Never. Kazuma is the archetypical anti-hero. He's an agent of his own misery, and the situation he's caught in is one of his own (unintentional) designs. His inability to get out of it is his own damn fault.

I mean, despite his bastard tendencies he's not a bad person. But it's definitely one of those tempting things that gave him no end of smug satisfaction to prove that he is in no way "blessed" with a party of attractive girls.

>>That player who has a inferiority complex yet keeps making weakass and useless characters on purpose
Damn that one grinds my gears. Had to play with one of those, it was annoying as fuck to rescue his ass for the fourth time.

He totally would've traded. And /then/ fucked it up. By antagonizing the party in some way perhaps, for their /small/ flaws.

All I see is two PCs and a hireling commoner who has walking GM fiat to keep him from going splat.

Also, IIRC, the novel series ends with him finally giving in to her...and horrible screaming is heard from his room all that night.

I wish I could find one of those screencaps of that page...

Absolutely this. The entire point of his character is that he fucks it up himself constantly. He makes his decisions based on some selfish idea of what he wants, but then refuses to follow through.

The fucker could have set himself up way better if he'd just picked merchant in the beginning, but no, he had to be a hero. And then he refuses to actually attempt to be a hero.

>The fucker could have set himself up way better if he'd just picked merchant in the beginning
Or a thief, then he could upgrade his panty stealing to virginity stealing

Aqua-sama is indeed a merciful goddess! I will toast a glass of tapwater to her honor because it's cheap just like her honor

I know, right?

Akatsuki is also friends with Tappei Nagatsuki, Re:Zero's author, and they've had discussions about how he's a sadist and she's a masochist. Re:Zero is Nagatsuki angrily kicking the narou genre apart, while KonoSuba is essentially Akatsuki's magical realm and she's really happy everyone enjoys it so much.

Nagatsuki also got Akatsuki to write the preview for episode 18 of Re:Zero's anime adaptation. It turned out like this: youtube.com/watch?v=HIgkGkZxC2g

Emilia and Megumin share the same seiyuu.

>he totally would've traded

It's more complicated than that. Part of the deal with Kazuma is that he keeps coming back to the old party even when he has an opportunity to escape it and the "mistakes" which drag him back into Konosuba's general status quo (which actually does evolve, granted; one of the reasons people like the series so much) always have an element of personal choice or "you could have easily avoided this" to them, the implication being he either secretly wants to be there despite his unending bitching or it's at least where he fits in best. So he acts ambivalent when he could finally gtfo.

Kazuma is a stubborn pessimist who shits on anything that isn't absolutely perfect (including himself) and can't see the forest for the trees. He sees his own talents in a distorted light, at once using his skills to act like he's hot shit while shackled to his past failures on Earth and harboring the idea that "objectively, I really sort of suck, don't I?" so he just stops caring. His party is a bunch of obtusely optimized deviants, but they always manage to pull through the worst of it (even though they end up tripping over the small stuff). He constantly comes through with clever solutions when it counts, but he's also exactly what describes.

KonoSuba actually has a lot of thought put into it (which is why it got popular).

No, but it's not about /int/bait or "ironically" obsessing over shitty youtubers

>Author's a female masochist
>Kazuma goes about abusing majority of the females he meets

>they either like it or it puts them in line, too
>and no one can say shit because Akatsuki is a woman

It helps that the story is fueled by karma.

>female
>masochist
Why did you need to say she was female twice?

>and no one can say shit because Akatsuki is a woman

That's not even true in the USA.

What do you mean "even"? America is the world's third wave feminism stronghold. Compare Japan, the country where female mangaka told the UN to fuck off with its anti-loli regulations.

Hilariously, I know more female loli artists/writers than male ones.
