Konosuba Proves It’s The Funniest Isekai With New Movie Trailer

In the Isekai genre, there are quite a few anime adaptations that see its protagonists exploring magical worlds while teleported from their far more mundane lives. Konosuba: God’s Blessing On This Wonderful World is easily one of the biggest, and funniest, examples of the genre as the Isekai is looking to return to the silver screen next month. Dubbed Konosuba: God’s Blessing On This Wonderful World 3 – Bonus Stage, Kazuma Satou and his ragtag band of adventurers have brand new adventures on the horizon. As fans wait anxiously for the isekai’s fourth season, this outing is sure to placate those looking to further explore this magical setting.

For those who are unfamiliar with the upcoming Bonus Stage, the theatrical outing will be a compilation film of two new episodes from the third season. At present, it has yet to be revealed if this production will make its way to North America, theatrically or otherwise, but the Konosuba franchise is popular enough that it’s a safe bet we’ll see this OVA arrive in some form or fashion. The movie will screen in Japanese theaters for one week and once again sees Studio Drive taking the reins for the beloved isekai that has found the perfect blend of action and comedy. Subsequently, the episodes will arrive on Blu-Ray and DVD on April 25th this spring.

Konosuba’s Bonus Stage Explained

The two new episodes that will make up this Isekai theatrical experience are listed as “Red Stream Explosion!” and “Beware of Fakes!” respectively. From the preview and previously released character designs, it seems as though Satou, Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness will be running afoul of a quartet that looks quite like bizarre reflections of themselves. It will ultimately be interesting to see if these new installments set the stage for a potential fourth season.

When it comes to a potential fourth season, there are quite a few stories from the original manga that have yet to be adapted to the small screen. Created by Natsume Akatsuki as a novel series in 2012, the Isekai has helped bolster the genre and lead the way for many other anime franchises to follow in its footsteps ever since.

What Makes Konosuba Different?

While there are plenty of Isekai anime to choose from, Konosuba simply hits different. Satou’s journey is fit to bursting with hilarity, while holding a premise of the hero dragging the goddess Aqua into his plight. As the pair attempt to survive this new world, they run into the physically powerful Darkness, who is rife with her own issues, and the explosion wizard known as Megumin, who received her own spin-off in Konosuba: An Explosion on This Wonderful World. Ultimately, Konosuba has discovered the perfect niche as one of the biggest Isekai in the genre.
