Congratulation to the anime adaptation of “KonoSuba: Explosion” and season 3 of “KonoSuba”!
I didn’t think that the anime would still continue after the broadcast of season 1, but I am deeply moved as I can still see the adventure of those 4 people.
I am looking forward to the broadcast as a fan of the anime “KonoSuba”.
Blessing on this new anime adaptation!

Original Illustrator, Mishima Kurone

It’s finally here!!! (Bolded)
That is the only word that I can think of.
To think that we can see them in the anime (as well as in “KonoSuba: Explosion”) again…!
This is something worth congratulating.

Director, Abe Yuji

I’m honored to be able to participate in “KonoSuba”.
I will do my best.
Please look forward to it.
