I'm disappointed they haven't explained how Re:Zero got roped into all this. Everyone else was pitch-perfect, so who among those five pressed the button?
I'm also surprised Ains and Tanya just took a mysterious supernatural force implying to have absolute control over their well-beings without needing a demonstration. Even accounting for a wait-and-see approach, they just sort of go along with it. Otherwise, everyone is so perfectly in character to the point it hurts. I can't stop laughing at how surreal this is. |

Konosuba is already an isekai parody. So now it's a parody within a parody, and by inception rules, that means each episode is really 150 minutes long.

This was far more entertaining than I thought, I had a feeling that aqua being an idiot with no sense of self-preservation would challenge the equivalent of an isekai's 'final boss' that is Ainz/Momonga. Even so I certainly wasn't expecting it to actually work, I'm so accustomed to 'overlord' rules of Ainz curb stomping everything that aqua's spell working so effectively caught me by complete surprise (although in hindsight it really shouldn't have, this was the same deal with that Dulhan and she IS a god even if she's Aqua).
I think I'm going to have alot of fun watching this series, as mentioned in the review really the only downside is its limited runtime. It's also a shame that some of the potential of this series will be lost on people not familiar will all the series. |

Even though I've only seen two out of the four shoes represented (Overlord and Tanya the Evil) I've seen enough clips of Konosuba and Re:Zero to know how the characters should act, and this show hits it out of the park. Aside from Aqua challenging Ainz, my favorite part in the episode was everyone introducing themselves. The Re:Zero cast introducing themselves and doing friendly banter with Subaru, Tanya and her men doing military roll call, The Overlord cast being all theatrical (complete with thirsty Albedo), and my personal favorite; Kazuma introducing his party to keep them from embarrassing themselves (only for them to do it anyway).
I honestly can't wait to hear this dubbed, hopefully Funi was able to get the casts for RZ and Konosuba (though if they couldn't I doubt they would have made this a simuldub). |

I was amused by the first episode, but the show had me hooked by the second. I can't wait for more, easily one of the highlights of an otherwise lukewarm season.
I won't elaborate on why, because Season 2 will make it clear, but this is just about impossible. It's far more likely to take place during the month-long period between the 2nd and 3rd arcs. |

I've seen all the series except for Tanya, but it doesn't look like that is going to hinder my enjoyment. Great premier so far with the second episode being much better than the first imo.
I can't help but wonder where they were all heading home to after school considering they just popped in on the school grounds... |

Ah that, you are correct. I am still expecting them to do the same thing steins gate did and while tdoing a tv re-run, change the ending of the last episode for that. though in rezero's case nothign neeeds to be changed , they only need to add one scene. |

Found a translation of the ending song online:

So it looks like Funimation pretty much got everyone to return for their simuldub, so far. Good on them, and how fortunate every series got dubbed before this aired.

It was better than I expected but it still feelings like the school setting is holding back the show. Specially for the Overlord cast, since they're so intense this setting just forces them to act wholly out of character while still sticking out like a sore thumb (it was probably not the best series to pick to put on the same side and level as the other ones).
BTW something to clarify that i noticed in the review - it's not that Ainz (and Shalltear) took damage because they're more vulnerable in this world, it's because they were attacked by Aqua who is a literal goddess, which is far above anything that Nazarick has fought so far in their series. Just a reminderabout who she is and how wasted her powers are on her. |

And the OP lyrics:
What makes the world interesting? We, We, We, We, We, ourselves do. This wonderful invitation There's no difference between being adults Or being little girls. Another dungeon of love starting from zero. A new world that seems so tough it may break bones. What is that? What is this? Before you complain, it can't be helped, We have to do it to survive! Get through the battle by analyzing the situation. But it's an unusual situation So you don't even have time for that. "My name is Natsuki Subaru! "Sentenced to immortality and I'm also completely broke!" "Major Tanya von Degrechav is who I am." "I am the great Ainz Ooal Gown!" "Hi, I'm Kazuma. ...Eh? I'm supposed to sound cool here?" I wanna go home. Don't go home. I wanna start over. I can't start over. Ahhh. But the different world is a nice world. Whoever visits is always welcomed. It depends on how you see. It's a paradise no matter where you are. What makes the world interesting? We, We, We, We, We, ourselves do. Oh, Isekai Quartet x3 |

I also imagine that Aqua's tendency to make boneheaded decisions might throw off Ainz's plans, since he is likely going to presume whoever he is fighting is competent, yet much less powerful. Aqua being the opposite in both ways should throw him for a loop. |

It's not too surprising to see Albedo and Rem clasping hands, largely because Rem's not human and thus not subject to Nazarick's prejudice. I'm actually curious if the anti-human sentiment will be remembered in future episodes.
