Ep 5 made me laugh so hard. In fact I laughed even harder here than when I watched the previous ep which was already funny in its own right

I mean, they pretty much ended season one "happy and comfortable" and immediately got put in their bad situation to start this season. So yeah, I would never think they're clearly "debt free". Heck, Aqua has already shown herself to be more than willing to blow any money they have (usually on something stupid) while Kazuma isn't paying close attention. |

Darkness is putting in work this season! Her gags could be hit or miss in season 1, but she has been killing it these last 2 episodes. Great use of the masochism gag as situational humor to freshen up some of the more worn out tropes.
It's interesting to see how the show sort of follows in the footsteps of the first season. The frogs made a comeback in season 2 episode 2 just like they did in season 1 episode 2. The demon lords show up for the first time in the episode 5's of each season. And other little hallmarks like Megumin and Kazuma going out explosion training Aqua getting so drunk she vomits rainbows. It's cool how the show just builds on itself. Really gives the show a solid momentum. I like the way they use off-model designs for comedic emphasis. Kind of weird to me that I've seen a lot of hubbub and grumbles about that when it looks like it's done on purpose. I don't believe the comedy would come across quite as effective if everyone stayed on-model. But having said that, the magic that really makes the show shine is the voice talents. They make the show. Hard roles to fill for if/when the show gets dubbed. 
All in all, Konosuba is shaping up to have another strong season. That's pretty cool by me.

I do feel the need to say that its INCREDIBLY amusing that Aqua's "cult" has a bad name even with the Demon Lords.

Aqua gets bad-mouthed by the Demon King army because her cultists spread infamies about him http://imgur.com/a/T2H6p

So normally I'm not a stickler for this stuff but the episode 6 review was poorly proofread it has two word errors in the second paragraph.
It says "coming timing" instead of Comedic Timing and says Devil Kind where it should say Devil King |

Who else thinks spoiler[Megumin drew a handle on Kazuma's "Excalibur"?]
Seriously, KonoSuba has constantly topped itself with its humor week after week. I don't think there's been a funnier series -- anime or non-anime-wise -- in years. |

anime only watcher here (well for dull disclosure I read a few chapters of the manga , btu that's stuff for the first season).
well I might be very wrong about eris, but when aqua's was random bantering about her and her pads I got the feeling she was going to say that eris was really a man, tho that's phrase gets interrupted so it sounds somethign like "she's really a ..." ... so I guess we finally got a trap in this series. |

It feels as though the show has been going out of its way to remind the audience that YunYun is still a character, without ever actually showing her on screen. I hope this means that we'll be getting a Megumin arc soon.

I'm also an anime only watcher (altho I've explicitly looked into one specific spoiler spoiler[about Eris/Chris]) and I'm 99% sure she's not a dude. I'm not sure if Aqua was going to comment on the spoiler or something else entirely. |

Aqua's snort at the end of the episode absolutely killed me.

I don't think I noticed it before this episode, but there are two characters in this series who look very suspiciously similar:
Same eyes and build (and the latter is significant in a series which has gone to great pains to give all of its major female characters dramatically different builds), and while the hair colors are a bit different the style is virtually identical. Could Chris perhaps be Eris's mortal guise? If so, that's going to make things really awkward when Kazuma finds out. They're definitely connected somehow. |
