KonoSuba: God bless this wonderful world! is a beloved Japanese light novel series that has been adapted into an anime. The film focuses on Kazuma Satou, a typical high school student who meets an embarrassing death and finds himself given a chance to be reincarnated in a fantasy world.
Deciding to take the goddess Aqua with him, Kazuma soon realized her uselessness. Together, they assemble a diverse crew that includes Megumin, the explosion-loving mage, and Darkness, the masochistic crusader.
Known for its humor revolving around a “transported to a fantasy world” story, KonoSuba injects humor into conventional conventions through its quirky characters and scenarios. If you're a fan of Kono Suba's wit and sense of adventure, here are 9 other anime series you don't want to miss.
Top 10 anime recommendations if you like KonoSuba
10. Re: Zero – Start life in another world
Re:Zero has a similar premise to KonoSuba, telling the story of Subaru, an ordinary young man thrust into a fantasy world. However, Re:Zero has a more serious tone, with Subaru facing increased dangers and possessing the ability to return to a checkpoint after death.
His journey is filled with gruesome deaths as he finds new worlds full of dangers. Similar to Kazuma, Subaru forges relationships with eccentric female characters who support him in his endeavors. While Re:Zero delves into its darker moments, it intersperses them with humor in its lighter scenes.
This reverse isekai anime follows the demon lord Satan's journey to modern-day Japan after he is defeated. Struggling to adapt, he secured a job at a fast food restaurant called MgRonald's.
Much of the humor comes from Satan's adaptation to his new surroundings and his attempts to use his demonic abilities in a world without magic. Reminiscent of KonoSuba, viewers enjoy the humorous chaos as a character in a fantasy daily life.
Satan's attempts to capture modern Japanese culture lead to amusing misinterpretations, providing the same comedic appeal as KonoSuba's antics.
8. Cautious Hero: The hero is overpowered but overly cautious
In Cautious Hero, main character Seiya Ryuuguuin contrasts sharply with Kazuma. Although Seiya possesses great power, he is overly paranoid, spending more time preparing for battles than participating in them. He practiced, researched magic, and stockpiled supplies meticulously despite having maxed out stats.
Summoned by the goddess Ristarte as the ideal hero, Seiya's neurotic perfectionism causes more hindrances than helps. His over-preparedness for even minor battles reflects Aqua's incompetence despite her divine status, evoking humorous parallels.
7. No games, no life
No Game No Life follows the journey of gaming prodigies Sora and Hiro, transported to a fantasy world where all conflicts are resolved through play. Their strategic prowess mirrors Kazuma's ability to defeat formidable opponents.
Full of wild antics and ecchi humor similar to KonoSuba, No Game No Life boasts a vibrant art style reminiscent of its counterpart. For those who are passionate about the main character using cunning to find obstacles, No Game No Life offers an enjoyable experience.
