This series is a prequel to 'KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!'. It is centred on Megumin, the wielder of explosion magic. Although at the start of this she has yet to learn it. After being rescued from a monster by a user of explosion magic she determines to learn it despite it being considered dangerous and of little practical use as it can only be used once per day. In the early part of the series she is learning magic and as things progress she gets to use her power against various monsters.
If you watched the original KonoSuba you'll want to watch this. Megumin is a fun central character and her adventures are enjoyable. The secondary characters are good too. There is a good amount of action; it tends to be fun rather than intense, but that suits this series. The animation and designs, which match the original series, are good. Overall a fun series that will obviously appeal to fans of the original but can also be enjoyed by new viewers.
These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
