The spin-off from Konosuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World! An Explosion on This Wonderful World! is getting an anime.
The show’s first trailer has some melodies but also manages to live up to that promise of explosions.
Megumin, the fire and the explosion-obsessed mage was always my favourite character before I gave up on the fanservice show. I suspect I wasn’t alone.
Yujiro Abe (Kaguya-sama: Love is War episode director) will direct with studio Drive at the helm.
Yen Press, who has the light novels license, describe the story;
My name is…
One year before a certain useless goddess and NEET extraordinaire hit the scene, Megumin, the “Greatest Genius of the Crimson Magic Clan,” is hard at work. Ever since a life-changing encounter in her youth, the young wizard has dedicated her every waking moment to the pursuit of the ultimate offensive magic, Explosion! (Well…every moment not spent hustling food from her self-proclaimed rival.) And while the big sister’s away, the little one will play. On a routine trip into the woods, Megumin’s little sister, Komekko, finds a strange black kitten. Little does she know that this cat plays a key role in unsealing a Dark God’s tomb…
It’s expected that An Explosion on This Wonderful World! will strike in 2023.
