KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on this Wonderful World! Season 3 was broadcast during the Spring 2024 anime season. The anime is based on the isekai comedy light novel series written by Natsume Akatsuki and illustrated by Kurone Mishima, which was published under the KADOKAWA Sneaker Bunko label from 2013 to 2020 with 17 main volumes and three short story anthologies. Amazon describes Season 3 as:

The dysfunctional party is back, but they may be short a member soon ’cause Kazuma is over it. Disillusioned with adventure, he wants to become a monk, but Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness call bull. However, the career dispute gets put on hold when a princess requests to hear all about their tales. Will the taste of fame at the royal castle keep them together or will this mark their farewell tour?

Season 3 is the first mainline KonoSuba anime to be produced by Drive, which previously produced the adaptation of 2023’s Konosuba: An Explosion on This Wonderful World! spin-off. Studio Deen produced the first two KonoSuba seasons, which premiered in 2016 and 2017,  and J.C.STAFF produced 2019’s KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on this Wonderful World Legend of Crimson movie.

KonoSuba began as a Shousetsuka ni Narou web novel in 2012. The light novels have inspired a manga adaptation by Masahito Watari and several spin-offs.
