Toonami Announces April 2023 Premiere for KonoSuba Spinoff Anime
Megumin is one of the main reasons why KonoSuba works as a whole and remains engaging throughout. I’m not joking when I claim that Megumin has her own legion of fans; the character is popular enough to warrant a novel of her own.
Megumin wasn’t always preoccupied with explosions and destructive magic; before she met Wolbach, she was only a kid who didn’t know anything about magic. Megumin, a member of the Crimson Magic Clan, has been practicing Explosion Magic ever since the Demon King’s general taught him the technique.
In April of 2023, an anime adaptation of a spin-off novel detailing Megumin’s life before she met Kazuma will premiere. The most recent trailer gives us a glimpse into Megumin’s past and all but guarantees the show’s premiere.
The story begins with a flashback to Megumin’s academy days, where she first developed her fascination with explosions. Megumin, having been raised alongside other chuunibyou characters as a member of the Crimson Magic Clan, has always dabbled in explosion magic.
Next, we meet Megumin’s fellow students, Chomusuke and Yunyun, Wolbach’s other half. They appear to be having a good time at the academy learning, making mistakes, and hanging out with one another.
In addition, the video names the rest of the students who hang out with Megumin and Yunyun at school:
| Character | Cast | Other Works |
| Komekko | Maria Naganawa | Kanna (Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid) |
| Arue | Kaori Nazuka | Kiyoko Shimizu (Haikyu!!) |
| Funifura | Miyu Tomita | Riko (Made in Abyss) |
| Dodonko | Sayumi Suzushiro | Kurena Kukumila (86) |
| Nerimaki | Shizuka Ishigami | Ikumi Mito (Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma) |
Since Megumin is so well-liked, an anime centered on her would undoubtedly sell well.
Konosuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World!
The light novel series Konosuba is authored by Natsume Akatsuki and illustrated by Kurone Mishima. There have been five anime adaptations of the light novel series’ 16 volumes so far, and the 17th is widely considered to be the last installment.
High school outcast Kazuma Satou meets a lovely but annoying goddess named Aqua after dying a comically horrible death on his way back after buying a video game.
She offers the NEET a choice between eternal life in heaven or a second chance at life in a world straight out of a video game.
Kazuma decides to start over, only to be confronted by a Demon King who is terrorizing the local communities. But before he leaves, he gets to pick one thing of any kind to help him on his journey, and the future hero chooses Aqua. Aqua, however, is absolutely useless, and Kazuma has made a terrible mistake by relying on it.
Regrettably, their problems have only just begun, as real life in such a setting is far different from how it is portrayed in fiction. The two need to get jobs to cover their bills before they can afford to go on an exciting journey. Their bad luck has only just begun, it seems.
