Just a side note but Konosuba actually helped me understand and explain exactly what I hate about anime :awooga: stuff. I had just watched Kill la Kill before it, and I said to my friend, "Why is the cameraman so fucking horny?" And I realized that's the key difference. Konosuba is a way less horny show but it's also way more gross, because no one is doing anything unusual to be seen in that way. When the camera focuses on somebody's ass in Kill la Kill it's because the character is wearing a ridiculous anime outfit and everyone is looking at their ass. But in Konosuba a character will just be walking down the street and the cameraman is trying to peer up her skirt.
Kill la Kill makes you go "ok writers I'm not 100% sure that sexualization was necessary" whereas Konosuba makes you go "someone please arrest this sex offender cameraman"
Idk its off topic but I just thought you might have thoughts on that
The funny thing is it's actually better than game of thrones imo. The tone is very lighthearted and I don't think there was ever even a hint of sexual violence. And the joke of the main character's party is that they're girls who would be attractive if they weren't completely incompetent and awful people, which is actually a pretty funny premise for making fun of the exact kind of shows which tried to copy konosuba. Because it means the main character is never pursuing or creeping on them because he literally isn't attracted to them
But then they had to ruin it by expecting you, the viewer, to want to creep on them directly
Yeah, disclaimer: I watched 1 season which I only finished out of a sense of dedication to finish what you start. It was really really bad. I'd say like 70% of jokes were just cringe, 25% were meh, and like the remaining 5% got an actual laugh. It did get me a couple times

Without going into it further: there is in the movie.
