The smash-hit TV anime series KONOSUBA -God’s blessing on this wonderful world! has finally returned for its eagerly awaited third season, with its first episode premiering on April 10th.
Accompanying its comeback, a KONOSUBA Season 3 creditless opening animation sequence has been released today via KADOKAWA Anime’s YouTube channel.
The video features Machico’s performance of the anime’s opening theme song ‘Growing Up‘, while we get to see previews of Kazuma and the gang — aka Aqua, Darkness and Megumin — and the crazy adventures they will soon be heading out on.
KONOSUBA, Season 3 has also been welcomed by fans, with most commenting after Episode 1 streamed yesterday that the art style is superb (as always), the animation is great, the voice acting is its usual amazing quality, and the plot (what there is of one) is hilarious.
As most agree, we’ve waited a long time for the gang to return and, so far, we are not disappointed.
(And yes, if you’ve been seeing people talking about KONOSUBA, Season 3, Episode 1 online for a while now, that’s because the first couple of episodes were leaked on non-legal sites a couple of weeks ago.
As a fan said, “Someone at Crunchyroll done f*cked up”).
