A keen gamer, photographer and podcaster, Tom is always looking for new anime and manga to explore; if you have any to suggest, give him a shout.
Anime Ltd have announced via their blog that the Konosuba series will be making its way to physical release later this year.
Released as part of their Crunchyroll partnership (which also saw Sound! Euphoria and Re:ZERO released in the UK) the show will feature the same translation as the streaming version, with dub and sub options.
The first two series are confirmed as getting physical releases at this time, with the first season arriving (tentaively) for Q3 this year. A collectors edition is planned but not confirmed at this stage. The releases will be Blu Ray only.

Synopsis:
Kazuma Sato decides that today is the day to get out of the house for a bit. Since he dies, pointlessly, it’s clearly a bad choice.
The goddess who greets him in the afterlife, however, offers him a chance to be reborn in a world not unlike that of a video game, and as a bonus she’ll even throw in a cool item or power! Can’t possibly be a bad choice, right? Except he arrives with no money at all, dead average skills, and his “bonus” isn’t useful at all–since he picked the goddess, Aqua, herself.
How are the two of them supposed to defeat the evil Devil King and live happily ever after? Well, for them, it probably starts with day laboring rather than adventuring. And it’s only going to get more disappointing from there!
