When it was initially aired, ‘KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World!’ was a huge hit. The popular anime series is based on the same-named light novel series.
Three years after the novel series’ publication, KonoSuba was adapted into an anime series, with Season 1 premiering on January 14, 2016. It didn’t take long for the anime to gain popularity, and as a result, viewers fell in love with the anime series, and KonoSuba was soon renewed for a second season.
On January 12, 2017, a year after the premiere of season 1, the second installment premiered. Fans also had the opportunity to see a couple of OVAs and a movie that was released following the second season; however, their hearts are waiting for KonoSuba season 3.
Here’s all we know thus far about the third season of KonoSuba.
When Will ‘KonoSuba’ Season 3 Be Released?
On January 12, 2017, the second season of KonoSuba aired for the first time.
On August 30, 2019, the movie ‘KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World! Legend of Crimson was released, keeping the flame alive. On July 20, 2021, the official KonoSuba anime Twitter tweeted that there will be more KonoSuba content available shortly.
The announcement, however, did not indicate whether the new project is a third season of the anime, a spin-off project, or a new feature film. They just stated that they would provide us with a follow-up report. As of this update, KonoSuba season 3 has not yet been officially renewed.
The anime could be released in 2022 if Studio Deen is currently working on the third season for a surprise release.
What Is KonoSuba All About?
Kazuma Satou, a high school student, and recluse find himself sitting before a gorgeous but obnoxious goddess named Aqua after dying a hilarious and sad death on his way back after buying a game. She gives NEET two options: go to heaven or reincarnate in the fantasy world of every gamer!
Kazuma, who has chosen to start a new life, is swiftly charged with defeating a Demon King that is terrorizing villages. But before he departs, he can select one object of any type to aid him in his journey, and the future hero selects Aqua. But Kazuma has made a fatal mistake—Aqua is completely useless!
Unfortunately, their problems do not end there; it turns out that life in such a society is nothing like how it appears in a video game. Rather than embarking on a wonderful excursion, the two must first work to support themselves. Their misfortunes have only just begun!
Seasons 1 and 2 of the anime series KonoSuba are now available to watch on Crunchyroll for those who managed to miss them.
How Many Volumes Of Konosuba Are There?
As of March 2022, the Konosuba light novel series had 17 volumes released in Japan. There are four spin-off light novels as well as a manga adaptation.
Is The Konosuba Light Novel Still Going?
No, the Konosuba light novel ended with volume 17; therefore, the light novel is complete. On May 1, 2020, Natsume Akatsuki released the final volume in Japan. According to the author, he intends to continue writing for KonoSuba in the future. It will most likely be a collection of short stories, so don’t look forward to a KonoSuba Light Novel Volume 18 release date.
Which Volumes Will Season 3 Cover?
Season 3 of KonoSuba will begin with light novel volume 6 and end with volume 7. Volumes 1–2 were adapted for the first season of the KonoSuba anime. Volumes 3–4 were adapted for the second season of the KonoSuba anime, and volume 5 was adapted for the movie. So, if you want to pick up the light novel where the anime left off and continue the KonoSuba plot, you should start with volume 6.
Season 3 of KonoSuba is expected to include between 10 and 13 episodes. It would be surprising if they adapted three volumes instead of two this time. However, if they continue to use only two volumes per season, the animation will take a decade to be completed. There will also be enough material left over after the third season to make the fourth season of KonoSuba.
