Newbie goddess Ristarte is given the task of saving the S-Ranked world, Gaeabrande. She must select a hero from another world to be the hero of that world. While searching through the list she sees someone with stats much higher then is normally found. Ryuuguuin Seiya seems like the perfect hero: strong, handsome and with amazing power right from the start. But in her excitement in finding such a powerful hero, Ristarte didn’t read the fine print: Ryuuguuin Seiya is overly, impossibly cautious.
Oh man, one of my favorites in these past years. For starters, Seiya is not just cautious, he’s at a level of paranoia that would make Batman rethink his life. That old man in the village? Could be a monster in disguise. The flower that little girl gave him? Could be a cursed item. That harmless slime? Could be the final boss. This makes Ristarte’s life very difficult because it takes forever for Seiya to actually do something. But when he does, it’s only because he’s Ready Perfectly. He WILL defeat his enemy in the most overkill manner possible. Ristarte is also comedy gold and could be used for an entire archive of reaction faces. Her voice actress did an amazing job. But it’s not all fun an games here. In fact, the later half of the series takes a hard turn from Konosuba Avenue to Dark Souls alley. If you missed all the foreshadowing about how cruel this world is, and didn’t at least partially realize why Seiya acts the way he does, the final arc might blindside you. This also has the effect of making the series really funny only once. Because as soon as you know why Seiya does what he does, it’s no longer funny to see him do it. I think that’s the mark of a great show: on the second watch it’s like you’re seeing a completely different depiction.

No, it’s Ristarte, because that’s how you pronounce Restart in katakana: RE-SU-TA-RU-TE.
