Everyone’s favorite chuunibyou Crimson Demon is back — and starring in her own show.

The KonoSuba Megumin spinoff — KONOSUBA: An Explosion on This Wonderful World! — will air in April on Crunchyroll as part of the platform’s spring lineup.

The KonoSuba Megumin spinoff is based on the light novels by Natsume Akatsuki and Masahito Watari.

This will tide fans over until the promised season 3 arrives — which has already been announced, but with no release date confirmed.

The anime will be available in North America, Central America, South America, Europe (excluding Germany), Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, and CIS.
