Talk:KonoSuba/GA1

Lead

• [Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko] [imprint] is an MOS:SOB violation
• Light novel is linked twice
• "A radio drama CD" -> "A [audio drama CD]"

Premise

• "[shut-in] [NEET]" is an MOS:SOB violation
• Wouldn't List of KonoSuba volumes be a better main article link?

Development

• Alot of "Novel" seems out of scope
• Why is Akatsuki's full name used in paragraph two?
• "similar to those found in such shows" reword

Publication

• [Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko] [imprint] is an MOS:SOB violation

Adaptations

• Can the short paragraphs under "Manga" be merged?
• "March 2025.[65] The sequel was later" -> "March 2025,[65] which was later"
• Any reason why the episodes were unaired
• Change the Re:Zero link to Re:Zero (TV series)
• I think some of the stuff under "Anime" could be moved to "Development"
• The See also link under "Theatrical film" should be "Main article"
• "Video games" says the dvds were bundled with the games, the sources indicate the games were bunded with the dvds
• "published by 5pb." -> "published by 5pb. (later known as Mages)"
• Link "Nintendo Switch" on first mention
• "CyberAgent subsidiaries Sumzap" -> "CyberAgent subsidiary Sumzap"
• "A radio drama CD" -> "A [audio drama] was released on [CD]"

Reception

• Looks fine

References

• Spot checks found nothing
• Why is "LN-News.com" a reliable source?

@Olliefant: Thank you for the responses. I apologize for the late reply as I wasn't aware that the review was already done until today. I've done almost all of the fixes you suggested above. To answer some of the questions above:

• Wouldn't List of KonoSuba volumes be a better main article link? I'm not sure, since it is talking about the series' premise and thus focuses more on the characters rather than any individual volume. The volumes are also already linked later on in the article, so it could be seen as redundant.

Alright

• Alot of "Novel" seems out of scope What do you mean by "out of scope"? Do you have suggestions on how to address this?

Like the stuff about Akatsuki's childhood doesn't seem particularly relevent to this article

• I think some of the stuff under "Anime" could be moved to "Development" Which parts? If it's the part about the staff, then that's already how anime-related articles generally present their Anime sections, even if there is a separate Development or Production section.

Thats fine then

• "published by 5pb." -> "published by 5pb. (later known as Mages)" IIRC the company was still called 5pb. at the time and was not renamed Mages until later, so that statement should be accurate.

I think it should be stated there was a rename to avoid confusion as some of the games were published after the rebrand

• Why is "LN-News.com" a reliable source? It is a light novel-specific news outlet in Japan, perhaps the only one that actually focuses on light novels. It has frequent interviews with writers and staff, is operated by what appears to be a reputable company called Days365. Even if it was marginally reliable at best, the interviews are still usable and I do not see why we should question their reliability when the site does interviews with writers on a regular basis, so they seem to have in-industry repute. The main concern is the website's lack of bylines for its staff, but as far as I am aware, this actually quite common in Japan and is not limited to this site.

Thats fine then

Please let me know if you have any other concerns. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 02:46, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

@Olliefant: I see now. With regards to Akatsuki, that part was intended to provide background on the influences on KonoSuba. He currently doesn't have an article either, so that's another issue. I am not opposed to that information being moved if he ever gets an article, but for now, it's probably best to keep it given the influences factor. I've also fixed the 5pb. issue per your response.
