Three Major Similarities Between Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo and Knight’s & Magic

1. A new lease on life

As most isekai stories go, the idea is a main character gets either reincarnated or reborn into a new world. This is especially true in both Konosuba and Knight’s & Magic. There might be some differences here and there but at its core both Eru and Kazuma get a new lease on life. Now what else is so different about these new lives? Don’t worry we here at Honey’s Anime will now explain.

In the case of Konosuba, Kazuma gets launched into a world where you can essentially level up and gain new skills and powers. In Eru’s world he gets what he always desired thanks to the Silhouette Knights—the giant mechs of Knight’s & Magic—and the ability to pilot them. While we do really believe Eru got the better end of the stick in Knight’s & Magic in comparison to Kazuma, they are free in their worlds to change their lives in different ways than their past lives. As Eru explains in the very first episode of Knight’s & Magic, he can now show the world that he’s special and worth something. Kazuma still has the chance of doing that as well but we think it will be diminished thanks to his team of goofballs.

2. Magical times ahead

While the worlds of Knight’s & Magic and KonoSuba may be very different in terms of threats and concepts, they do share one major similarity in the form of magic. That’s right folks, if you love any isekai story with magic then you’re going to love Knight’s & Magic, especially if you liked seeing the silly magic used in KonoSuba. While you may not be laughing seeing explosions like in KonoSuba—Megumin for the win—Knight’s & Magic may appeal to those who prefer serious magical spells and incantations. Alongside the robots seen in Knight’s & Magic and you’re going to see some pretty awesome battles that have a lot of magical flare to them. Seriously, who doesn’t love mecha and magic that just screams a good time.

3. Heroes in training

Eru may start Knight’s & Magic with intelligence and skill but that doesn’t mean he’s the star of the show right away. Similar to Kazuma’s beginning in KonoSuba, Eru has to prove that he can be like the pilots of the Silhouette Knights. That means obviously not only training but, in Eru’s case, building his own mech. Kazuma also has to train but his training is usually him getting lucky in a fight, let’s be honest. Still it’s a long road for both protagonists as they advance their skills and become destined for greatness.

Three Major Similarities Between Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo and Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni.

1. Wishes

Ironically in both KonoSuba and Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni, the beginning starts with a wish being granted after Kazuma’s and Touya’s death. In the case of Touya he brings with him a smartphone that now has godly powers and Kazuma brings the Goddess Aqua who…has water tricks. Yes, it’s clear that one of these wishes is better than the other. However, regardless both Kazuma and Touya were given choices of anything they wanted and these were the things they chose.

2. A harem filled adventure

Probably one of the most notable elements you’ll find in KonoSuba is the bevy of cute girls. You have darkness, Aqua and Megumin who cater to different tastes for viewers in KonoSuba. Then in Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni, you have several girls such as Belfast, Elze, Linze and Yae to name a few. That’s right, both of these anime have harems for our main protagonists and we know how many of you will love to hear that fact. After you watch both shows comment down below in the comments to let us know who you think has the best girls. Will KonoSuba’s world of ladies win over the women found in Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni? Regardless for us here at Honey’s Anime it’s a win-win situation as we love all the girls equally.

3. Swords and Magic

Now we know most of you out there like action in an isekai story. We don’t blame you as we always like swords and magic being used in any fantasy setting, just makes the story more enjoyable. That’s why if you loved the action that can be sometimes seen in KonoSuba, you’ll have a great time watching Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni. Touya and his party of girls have some wicked moves on the battlefield—seriously Touya is so overpowered but in a good way—and that leads to some quite exciting battles. That’s why we think you’re going to want to watch Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni as soon as possible if you need a little more action then seen in KonoSuba.
