Was the KonoSuba movie that came out in August 2019 the end of the anime? Let's explore.
'KonoSuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World!', which is known as Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! in Japanese, was a big hit when it premiered for the first time. The hit anime show is originally based on a light novel series of the same name. The light novel series was published for the first time on October 1, 2013, and then the year later, on September 9, 2014, it became a manga series of the same name. Three years after the publication of the novel series, Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! was made into an anime show, and season 1, called KonoSuba, premiered for the first time on January 14, 2016. It didn't take long for the anime to become popular, and hence, fans fell in love with the anime series, and soon KonoSuba got renewed for the second season. The second installment premiered a year after the release of season 1, which was on January 12, 2017. Fans also got a chance to watch a few OVAs and a movie that was released after the second season. However, their heart awaits the arrival of season 3 of KonoSuba. Here is everything we know about the third installment.
The second season of KonoSuba premiered for the first time on January 12, 2017. The movie 'KonoSuba: God's Blessing on this Wonderful World! Legend of Crimson' was released on August 30, 2019, keeping the flame alive. On July 2021, the official Twitter of KonoSuba anime announced that there would be more KonoSuba content coming soon.

Kazuma decides to bring the goddess herself, and they are transported to a fantasy world filled with adventure, ruled by a demon king. Now Kazuma only wants to live in peace, but Aqua wants to solve many of this world's problems, and the demon king will only turn a blind eye for so long…"
