The anime KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World will receive a new OVA, continuing the tradition set by the OVAs from the previous seasons.
This upcoming special follows the third season, which aired in Spring 2024. In the past, the first season’s OVA featured Kazuma dealing with death using a Wish-Granting Choker and causing trouble for his friends, while the second season’s OVA sent the party on a new dungeon adventure sparked by Kazuma’s arrogance.
Details about the upcoming OVA are still under wraps. The third season of KonoSuba was animated by Studio Drive and directed by Yujiro Abe, with Takaomi Kanyasaki as the chief supervisor.
The series composition was handled by Makoto Uezu, and Koichi Kikuta returned for character design.
This season was announced alongside the spin-off series KonoSuba: An Explosion On This Wonderful World, which aired in 2023.
