Overall rating 3.6 out of 10 - All the issues of the original Konosuba plus some new ones.
I do not recommend watching. I dropped after 2 episodes.
This is a good example of how not to make a spin off.
In the original Konosuba Megumin was the most popular character of the quartet. Making a spin off centered on her was a sure path to success. Unfortunately, the creators ruined this surefire win into almost surprising fail.
The reasons for that than Megumin of spin off has none of the qualities that made her original self-likable. In the original Megumin was the most timid and vulnerable of the girls. Aqua was shameless and rude talking. Darkness was too pushy and enthusiastic. Compare to them Megumin was small, weak and quiet. Her getting unconscious after using her explosion magic just added to the charm.
Megumin of the spin off has none of these qualities. Here she is the most confident and shrewd girl of the cast.
Setting does not help. There is no longer a party of four but a poor family with gimmicky father, strong in a bad way mother and Megumin's little sister that admires her. Then there are also school of mages that Megumin attends, where girls constantly bicker with each other. Bingo book of all things I do not like.
There is some humor that is occasionally funny, but that is not enough to redeem this show.
Overall, a poor show that manages to be worse than original despite starring the best character from the latter.
It's like authors deliberately trying to fuck up.
