Upper body
Upper Body: How to develop the perfect sprinter's upper body, thanks to Linford Christie.
Upper body? But you sprint with your legs, surely? True enough, but a sprinter neglects strength in the upper body at his or her peril. Dynamic arms and torso add an additional explosive weapon to the sprinting armoury. As an indicator of upper-body strength, many top male sprinters can bench well over100 kg. And both male and female athletes will also include in their weights workouts upright rows, press in front and behind the neck, dumbbell flies and so on - as well as literally tens of thousands of bodyweight circuit exercises.
Now that Britain's most successful athlete is coaching, you can readily see his trademark arm and torso emphasis being reflected in the developing physiques of the athletes he coaches - for instance, Jamie Baulch (400m) and Darren Braithwaite (100 and 200m). I recently watched Braithwaite undertake one of Christie's upper-body sessions, and in doing so gained a real insight into the hard work that goes into conditioning for an event that lasts a bare 10 seconds.
First I asked Braithwaite why there was a need for a powerful upper body. A dynamic arm drive is essential, he said, at the start, middle and end of a sprint race.
The start and pick-up
As Braithwaite explained, the rearward drive of the arms behind the body as it accelerates from the blocks will add to the exaggerated drive of the legs and will also help keep the athlete low - all required for a quick getaway. Great power is needed by the sprinter to accelerate rapidly and a vigorous arm drive will contribute to this and prime the athlete for the pick-up, mid and end phases of the race.
Mid-race, the sprinter will most probably be on top of his or her form and should feel in total control. Braithwaite emphasized that at this point the arms and legs should be working in perfect harmony. 200m and 400m runners may actually concentrate on arm movement mid-race in order to stay relaxed - hunched shoulders will cramp their ability to do this.
The finish
When form begins to fade (particularly over 400m), a concentration on a purposeful and long arm drive can help prevent the inevitable shortening of stride length that often ensues. Only a well-conditioned one-lapper will be able to drive the arms purposefully at this stage. Power and endurance are required - lactic acid can build up in the arms as much as in the legs.
The torso - abs and back
Throughout the sprint, abs and back muscles will be working as a kind of strait-jacket to allow for maximum power transference between upper body, legs and track.If the torso is weak, then lateral movement can occur and waste valuable effort. The sprinter needs all the powerful available to go straight down the track. No wonder, then, that sprinters complete punishing circuit routines which involve repeated dynamic exercises. Look at Christie himself as he drives for the line, a balanced and rigid upper body, arms punching forward and back, and you'll see the supreme result of such specific conditioning.
Non-sprinters can find out what the torso goes through when sprinting by completing a 30-second burst of stationary arm sprinting. You'll find your body wants to rotate laterally with each arm movement unless you brace yourself mid-region.
Braithwaite's workouts
Athletes like Braithwaite will work on the various muscles in the shoulder, chest, abdominal and back regions by employing weights and circuit routines, sometimes in combination. Some sessions will be heavy, others will be more endurance-based, depending on the time of the training year.
All the exercises that follow form part of Christie's upper-body workouts, used specifically during the conditioning phase, ie, pre-Christmas/indoor season.
Bench press (chest development)
The bench press forms a key part of the sprinter's upper-body workouts - although it must be said that the exercise can be over-done, especially if athletes becomes too concerned with what they can 'bench' rather than with why they are training: for speed. The bench primarily develops the pectorals and triceps but in a plane of movement that is not specific to the sprinting action. Don't regard the bench as the equivalent of the squat for the upper body; although there are positive strength gains, these are less specific to the sprinting action than squatting itself.
Sample part session:
Bench - 25 reps x 50kg, immediately followed by 25 press-ups. Two minutes recovery, then repeat 4-5 times. Two mins recovery, then same again, but with 40kg on the bar.
Shoulder press, upright rowing, bent-over rowing
Developing the deltoids, rhomboids and traps, these exercises, like the bench, will generally strengthen the muscles used in the sprinting action. Performing front and rear shoulder press variants will provide the greatest dividend since the deltoids and traps work to pull the arms both back and forwards, as in sprinting. Christie's athletes perform seated shoulder press, which prevents the legs giving any assistance to the exercise.
Sample part session:
Seated shoulder press - 15 x 40kg, immediately followed by 15 x upright rowing, immediately followed by 15 x bent-over rowing (all with the same bar loaded at 40kg). Two mins rest, and repeat as above up to 5 times
Dumbbell work
Dumbbells allow for a more symmetrical body development, since a weaker left arm cannot be overridden by a stronger right one, as can be the case when using barbells. For this part of the session, Braithwaite used various weight dumbbells - 15, 10 and 7.5kg. The combination of exercises involved sprint arm drives, alternate shoulder press and curls, all done in succession with about 20-30 reps of each exercise. Once again, 4-5 sets would be carried out.
All the examples given here actually formed a part of only ONE strength endurance session as performed by Braithwaite! I would like to thank him for his invaluable help in preparing this article.

A major challenge facing global tuberculosis (TB) eradication efforts is the fact that two billion people are latently infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), many of whom, especially in the setting of HIV co-infection, will develop reactivation disease. Efforts to gain insight into the molecular mechanisms by which Mtb persists in the host have been impeded by the lack of adequate research models and molecular tools. Current research has focused on identifying individual Mtb genes or host factors required for TB latency and reactivation in specific models and inferring their relevance for TB latency and reactivation in humans. The central hypothesis of this proposal is that no single host or microbial pathway is responsible for Mtb entry into or emergence from latency, but rather, that these complex phenomena are attributable to multiple interdependent host and mycobacterial molecular networks, which cannot be deduced from any one particular model. Using a systems biology approach, including several novel animal models of latent TB infection in combination with transcriptional, proteomic, genetic, imaging, and computational techniques, followed by experimental verification of the data using human samples, we will identify host cytokine networks responsible for immunological control of Mtb growth, as well as Mtb regulatory and metabolic pathways required for bacillary growth restriction and reactivation. Our data are expected to yield: 1) Novel potential drug targets for nonreplicating bacilli, with the goal of shortening the duration of TB chemotherapy;2) Novel diagnostic markers specific to the latent stage of infection and to reactivation disease;and 3) Novel attenuated vaccine candidates with an inability to reactivate, which would be particularly important in the setting of HIV/AIDS.
Antibiotic treatment for TB requires at least 6 months of therapy because the germs that cause TB can go "dormant" in the infected host, becoming very difficult to kill with currently available drugs, which kill dividing bacteria. In this proposal, we plan to use a multidisciplinary approach to uncover some of the important mechanisms that lead TB germs to stop dividing and to start growing again when the immune system weakens. Our results are expected to yield new drug targets to shorten the time it takes to cure TB, as well as new vaccine candidates and diagnostic tests for different stages of the infection.

Good that you're stil in the world of the living^^.
Unfortunately you're completely right bout znt season 3, but I heard that there'll be a 4th season soon (in bout 6 month or so...), but to be honest, I don't think there'll be a proper end:'(^^.
BUUUUUUUUUT, I just saw you don't watch Toradora, it's one of the new On-Goings and I would say it's the "new" Zero no Tsukaima (same voice actress and the charas are kinda similar...), you may like it.
Btw I just HAVE to say, that To Aru Majutsu no Index, one of the new On-Goings too:P, is really one AMAZING show (the best on-going so far and I think my new #5^^), I think you'll like it too...^^
Btw, just realized I didn't ask you yet, got msn?
Hey, it's been quite I while since I last heard from you (well, a-p was down^^) and I wanted to ask how you like Zero no Tsukaima Princess no Rondo up until know. I'm really disappointed 'cuz nearly every ep. was just a filler and there's no real story up until know...
Season 1/2 were much better and I think it's really unfortunate that the 3rd seson turned out like this, but what's your opinion...?
But there was one good thing in the 3rd episode. Saito looks awfully good with his "wannabe-knight" cloak...^^
Hi :)
After seeing your Avatar I just couldn't resist :D

Say Goodbye To Over-The-Lip Wrinkles And Smoker's Lines With These Non-Invasive Treatments
Are you a smoker who has noticed wrinkles around your top lip area? If so, it is possible that a combination of factors are contributing to the wrinkles, and your smoking may be one of those factors. Other factors include exposure to UV rays, genetics or the natural process of aging. Applying sunscreen may help prevent new wrinkles if exposure to UV rays is one of your potential factors, but you may be worried about what you can do about the other factors. The following will help you explore the effective wrinkle reduction and elimination options available to you. Formulated Lip Creams There are over-the-counter lip creams that may give you results. However, it is possible that some of these products may only offer temporary improvement by reducing water loss from cells when they are applied. Investing in a lip cream that is prescribed or recommended by a professional would help to ensure that you get the results you desire, because they will be able to pinpoint your possible risk factors and suggest products that fit your unique circumstances. For example, if aging is one of your factors, a lip cream with collagen might be recommended, since collagen promotes the formation of new skin cells. Exfoliation Routine exfoliation at home or in a spa-like environment can do wonders for improving your skin. It can make it appear more radiant, and it may also reduce wrinkles. This is because exfoliation removes dead skin cells. Excessive exfoliation may irritate the skin and could make your wrinkles appear more pronounced. Clean your face every day, but use exfoliation methods sparingly. A simple exfoliation for at-home use can be made by mixing sugar with oil. Aim for a semi-dry consistency with the sugar granules intact. Botox Injections If your smoking is determined to be one of your risk factors for the wrinkles over your lip, it could be due to the contractions of muscles and skin in the area that are causing your skin to sag. Botox injections can make these sagging areas tight and revive youthful skin. This is a semi-permanent option, which means that you could have extended time without wrinkles by opting for routine Botox injections. If you do not like the idea of applying creams daily, then Botox could be a better alternative. A professional–such as one who works with lip injection with YMM Cosmetic and Laser Clinic–who has experience in treating wrinkles and other skin changes is the best resource to use to determine how to banish or minimize the appearance of upper lip wrinkles. They may recommend a combination of at-home and in-office treatments to thwart the appearance of new...read more

Personal fabricators (PF's) are about to revolutionize the world just as personal computers did a generation ago. PF's will bring the programmability of the digital world to the rest of the world, by being able to make almost anything-including new personal fabricators. In FAB, Gershenfeld describes how personal fabrication is possible today, and how it is meeting local needs with locally developed solutions. He and his colleagues have created "fab labs" around the world, which, in his words, can be interpreted to mean "a lab for fabrication, or simply a fabulous laboratory." Using the machines in one of these labs, children in inner-city Boston have made saleable jewelry from scrap material. Villagers in India used their lab to develop devices for monitoring food safety and agricultural engine efficiency. Herders in the Lyngen Alps of northern Norway are developing wireless networks and animal tags so that their data can be as nomadic as their animals. And students at MIT have made everything from a defensive dress that protects its wearer's personal space to an alarm clock that must be wrestled into silence. These experiments are the vanguard of a new science and a new era-an era of "post-digital literacy" in.

Ebola virus disease (formerly known as Ebola haemorrhagic fever) is a severe, often fatal illness, with a death rate of up to 90% caused by Ebola virus, a member of the filovirus family. The Ebola virus was first identified in 1976 when 2 simultaneous outbreaks occurred, 1 in Yambuku, a village not far from the Ebola River in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the other in a remote area of Sudan. The origin of the virus is unknown, but current evidence suggests that fruit bats (Pteropodidae) may be a host.
Source: Frequently asked questions on Ebola virus disease
In March 2014, a rapidly evolving outbreak of Ebola haemorrhagic fever started in Guinea. The outbreak subsequently spread to Liberia, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Senegal, and Mali.
1 Aug 2014: WHO and the government of Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia launched a joint US$ 100 million response plan.
8 Aug 2014: WHO declared the Ebola outbreak in West Africa a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC).
28 Aug 2014: WHO issued a "roadmap" to scale up the international response.
19 Sep 2014: UN Mission for Ebola Emergency Response (UNMEER) established.
17 Oct 2014: WHO declared Senegal free of Ebola virus transmission.
20 Oct 2014: WHO declared Nigeria free of Ebola virus transmission.
19 Jan 2015: WHO declared Mali free of Ebola virus transmission.
21 Jan 2015: Updated Overview of Needs and Requirements for Jan-Jun 2015 launched.
8 May 2015: WHO declared Liberia free of Ebola virus transmission.
31 Jul 2015: UNMEER closed and transitioned oversight of the UN system's Ebola emergency response to WHO as of 1 Aug.
7 Nov 2015: WHO declared Sierra Leone free of Ebola virus transmission.
29 Dec 2015: WHO declared the end of Ebola virus transmission in the Republic of Guinea.

A north Iowa man on trial for sexual abuse is being found guilty on all three counts.
58-Year-old Warren Purvis was charged with first degree sexual abuse, domestic assault – strangulation, and willful injury, after an incident that took place in December of last year with his former girlfriend and roommate at the time.
The trial wraps up after an emotional testimony from the defendant and strong closing arguments from both councils.
"I beat her up and I'm sorry for it. I admit to beating her up," said Defendant Warren Purvis.
It's an emotional day in the courtroom as defendant warren Purvis takes the stand.
"She told me she had cheated on me three times and that she had even slept with the guy, what did you do…Got mad and beat her up. I'm sorry," said Purvis.
He told the court that he and the victim had consensual sex before he got physically abusive.
But that was not what he wrote down in his statement to investigators.
"Then I hit her in the face a few times then made her have sex with me after that I told her I wanted to die"
Purvis claims police officers influenced what he wrote.
"I couldn't remember anything. I wrote what I'd been told happened," said Purvis.
In closing arguments, the defense said there is reasonable doubt in this case.
Adding there is not enough evidence and the victim's injuries are consistent with only consensual sex.
"This should not happened to anyone and this should not happen to someone that you love, but just because you find warren guilty of count 2 or 3 does not mean you find him guilty of count 1," said Defense Attorney, Susan Flander.
The prosecution argued the evidence supports the victim's testimony that she was raped.
"This was a mad, raged man who was taking it out on the person he says he loves," said Cerro Gordo County Attorney, Carlyle Dalen.
The sentencing date has not been set , the judge will send an order out next week for that.
A first degree sexual assault charge carries with it a life in prison without parole sentence .

Reviews for this vacation condo rental in Scottsdale, Arizona
Wonderful location, great place to stay!!

Wonderful location, great place to stay!!
January 25, 2017
I just wanted to say that our trip was wonderful, and we really enjoyed staying in the condo. It was very welcoming and homey, made it feel like we could be comfortable on vacation, away from our own home. The little things that were provided, such as a pizza cutter, coffee and even beer made it way better than any overly fancy resort could ever make us feel. We really appreciate the fact that we were able to stay an extra couple days without any complications, and the owner and his wife were incredibly kind! I would recommend this stay to anyone!

My wife and I stayed at this condo on E. Becker La in Scottsdale, AZ for 1 week in April 2016 and it far exceeded our hopes and expectations. The physical layout of the condo is perfect and Steve, the owner of the condo made sure it was well equipped with everything we could possibly need as well as being exceptionally clean. The landscaped area around the condo complex is beautifully maintained and the pools are clean and spacious. We absolutely loved this condo and have already booked a 2 week vacation there for next year. We would highly recommend it.

We had stayed at this complex last year in a smaller unit that was not available this year. We were quite pleased with this 2 bedroom, 2 bath unit we rented. It was clean and well outfitted with everything we needed. The on line description and video represented it quite well. It was very nice to have received a welcome call from the owner. Overall it was a very pleasant experience.

Our stay at your condo was exacting as you described - comfortable, convenient, cheery and spacious. We made use of the pools and the health club in the beautiful community center and found the suggested nearby restaurants, shopping and attractions helpful and reliable. We appreciated the extras provided from the pool towels to the make comfortable mattresses and pillows! The transaction, condo entry, directions were easy and professionally provided. Thank you, Steve, for helping us to have a memorable stay in sunny Scottsdale!

We loved this location with shopping, restaurants,medical services close the complex. The condo unit is very well maintained with wonderful pools and pleasant surroundings. Good security. This 2 bedroom condo was perfect for us. Great efficient kitchen with dishes, appliances.... everything you would need to prepare meals in the kitchen. Great surround sound system and flat screen TV were a wonderful surprise. Comfortable beds and ample sized bathrooms. All new furniture. Only problem the recliner and side chair weren't so comfortable. (My husband is 6 feet 4 inches tall) We really enjoyed our stay. The owners were great to work with too. Bill and Maryanne
Owner's reply:
Hi Maryanne - Thanks so much for your detailed review. We are very glad you really enjoyed your stay. We were not aware of the issue with the living room chairs. I'm not sure if you knew the recliner chair does have two extension positions, the second one making it nearly horizontal which should accommodate even tall gentlemen such as your husband. We look forward to your return visit next year!

We stayed at this unit for 10 nights and it was perfect. A very quiet but extremely friendly complex that is close enough to the Loop Highway 101 to provide access to much of the Phoenix area within 20 minutes. We went for a hike at Pinnacle Peak, took in two hockey games, went to Frank Lloyd Wrights house (Taliesin West, only 5 minutes away) and did lots of Geocaching within walking distance. The free USA and Canada long distance telephone plan and wifi were 100% reliable and great for planning our next excursion, the wifi even works at the pool! The pools were fantastic; we used one of the three every afternoon or evening. The pools are all interconnected with walking paths, which were also great for early morning, or late evening stroll. We were lucky to have a few bunny sightings on the property during our outings. The kitchen is well outfitted with a full spice rack, quality pots and pans and enough basics to cook. The added bonus was the box of Haagen-Dazs ice cream in the freezer that we dug into first thing after arriving. It cooled us off enough and gave us energy to head to the closest grocery store Sprouts, a wonderful organic local store. Thank you for a week in paradise.

After partying away and putting her foot in her mouth in South Africa, Paris Hilton happily followed her boyfriend Benji Madden north to Munich today. They've only been together a few weeks, but they're already starting to look (or at least dress) like twins. Joel seems to be keeping a lower profile on the Good Charlotte tour while his girls are back home in LA. Paris may have left Africa for now, but it looks like she picked up some souvenirs and safari photo ops to remember her trip.

I still like paris:she makes me feel better about myself being not a hottie tottie either
Thank goodness they've left the country. I live in South Africa and people seemed to go crazy at just the thought of her being here. The Good Charlotte boys were awesome at My Coke Fest though. They can come back anytime - just leave Paris at home PLEASE!
She's so friggin' disgusting...I'm quite disappointed in Benji. WTF is he thinking...?
Oh look , they're matching :oy:i see she wears all black these days....now she's a rocker?haha
Oh look , they're matching :oy: i see she wears all black these days....now she's a rocker?haha
Can this fake relationship end already?
Uh, I dont understand. How was saying she loved SA, its people and their accents equated to putting her foot in her mouth? Am I missing something? :OY:
thanks goodness...a trip to Africa should only be for those who have half the brain to absorb nature, beauty and culture..'nuff said (and I am not speaking of Benji b/c I know nothing of his character or lack thereof)
I watched pop fiction last night...nothing else was on... and I actually thought that she, gulp, came off as pretty sweet and nice... that biker guy who played the shaman and her seemed to be getting along really well.. I might actually not hate her like I wanted to..
She just seems so fake to me! That or she seems like she is just trying to copy Nicky.

is that her face on her shirt again? she looks horrid.
i can understand her desire to support his fashion label but this is really getting to be too much. we know that she doesn't normall ydress like this and it's like she's changing herself for him. ugh. oh well. at least they have moved along in the tour and are somewhere else right?
The traveling tranny!! She shouldn't wear white shoes with black tights, the contrast makes her feet appear even larger.
they make matching dress so gross!
The twin fashions are getting old.

Posted on 05/10/2010 10:25:42 AM PDT by PennsylvaniaMom
Fellow FReeps who are Tweeps...Twitter is in tatters right now.
The President who 'loves his CrackBerry' proclaims we can't be 'emancipated' from (what?) with all of our 'information.'
And then Twitter takes a hit.
Coinky dinky???
Twitter is doing just fine. Just got to the site very easily.
That's not the problem.
From what I'm gathering....Twitter zapped the 'following/follower' lists on accounts.
Check your follow and followers list. Could all be at Zero.
BObama is probably upset that even with choosing a SC nominee who has no paper trail of judicial decisions, corporate ties and other details are coming to light on her background.
Yes, the counts for my site are at zero, but I'm still receiving tweets from those that I've been following. So, it appears that those numbers aren't truly at zero.
Interesting! Thanks.
Twitter, the service the that popularized the Fail Whale is having technical issues? Say it isn't so.
Yeah, I use Hootsuite, and all my followers are still showing up in the columns, though my account at Twitter.com says zero-zero.
From Twitter:
Follow bug discovered, remedied. 26 minutes ago
We identified and resolved a bug that permitted a user to force other users to follow them. Were now working to rollback all abuse of the bug that took place. Follower/following numbers are currently at 0; were aware and this too should shortly be resolved.
Update (10:18 AM PST): Of note: protected updates did not become public as a result of this bug.
South Park episode.
oh wow
Ha! It works, Oprah was following me for a few seconds.
Nice to "see" you. :)
yep. following/followers at 0, but I am still seeing followed posts in my home view.
Same here, Dio! It's been a long time.
I hope you're doing well I am! :)
So we all follow Zero now?
Some do. Like lambs to slaughter.
It's not getting to the site is the problem, it's that no one has any followers.
And scarily...Zero (Dear Leader) is following us.
Last I looked...still at zero/zero.
Oh Noes, like living in an epi of South Park.
Its all about the Tweets, isn't it Willie???
I hear it;s a Turkish hacker. Twitter says it's someone that wrote script or something that forces follows.
Just so happens that Glenn Beck's list of people he's following has jumped from 18 to 20 ... including a Turkish tweep: www.twitter.com/gezegenci. May or may not be them. Another new person Beck's profile is supposedly following is Tylergillies. Don't know either one of them, but genegenci is from istanbul, posts only in Turkish, and is also following Hugo Chavez.
By the time they do, it will be too late.
Karl Rove actually follows me...(and like 20K others...but its the thought that counts).
They fixed it, but Oprah is still following me. Heh. I like cagey's Castro suggestion.
Civilization is saved!!! And Conan O'Brien will spend the rest of the day deleting (like Perez Hilton; Sean Hannity; and the Jonas Brothers) thousands of 'forced' followings.
THAT was a close call.

Recalled Springbok centre Jacque Fourie has dispelled fears he may struggle with his return to the Test-match arena in November.
Recalled Springbok centre Jacque Fourie has dispelled fears he may struggle with his return to the test-match arena in November.
Having spent two seasons playing in Japan, Fourie was called up by Boks coach Heyneke Meyer to join the squad to take on Wales, Scotland and France next month.
And the midfielder was keen to wave away claims from some that he is not fully committed to the green and gold jersey.
"Whether I am playing against a Japanese team or against New Zealand, every time I get onto the field I give 100%," he told BallzRadio.
"I have enjoyed it tremendously in Japan, but it was awesome getting a call-up to come back and play for the Boks. It's an honour and a privilege to play for my country."
Fourie chose to leave his native land after the 2011 World Cup in an effort to lengthen his career at the top, but the centre was at pains to point out that fitness levels and conditioning are excellent in Japan.
"With the amount of rugby that players play in South Africa the body takes a pounding and is under a lot of stress," he said.
"When I renegotiated my contract with Kobelco Steelers, they knew that I wanted to come back to contend for a Springbok spot at the Rugby World Cup. So when (Heyneke Meyer) called and asked if I could play for the Boks on the end of year tour, they agreed and I was very happy they said yes."

Konosuba - God's Blessings Upon This Wonderful World!:
Original Air Dates: Jan 13th, 2016 - March 16th, 2016
"Welcome to the REAL Fantasy World, Bub."
Synopsis: Kazuma Sato after staying up for three days straight to secure a limited edition release of an upcoming, highly anticipated RPG, gives his life to save one of his classmates moments before she would have been run over by a bus. Kazuma, now deceased, finds himself now at the gateway to the afterlife, with a beautiful Goddess before him. And its here he learns his death was in complete and total vain. Because in Kazuma's sleepy daze he'd mistaken a slow moving tractor for a bus, and in his frantic rush to save a girl, who actually didn't need any saving, shocked himself to death at the thought of being run over. But the Goddess is willing to cut him a break and give a new chance at life: in a fantasy world overrun by the demon king. Kazuma, reeling from the Goddess' mockery of his death, chooses to take her along as his one bonus to resurrect with. The Goddess, Aqua, is completely caught off guard when it turns out that request is totally within the rules! Now, trapped in a fantasy world where the demon king slowly conquers the land, Aqua and Kazuma must work together to defeat the Demon King and make something of themselves, otherwise Aqua never gets to be a goddess again.
Review (Warning: Some Spoilers to Follow):
Linny: Konosuba has the curse of sounding a lot like one of the most common plots in anime. The whole "loser guy meets magical girl/goddess, and starts to kick ass." Especially if you have only been reading short, teaser descriptions. I call it a curse because it may disappoint viewers who pick it up expecting to be entertained with another serving of the previously described story, while driving away those who are not fond of that particular plot line. For better or worse, Konosuba is an extremely fresh take on the anime approach to world swapping, that will surprise all viewers who are unfamiliar with its source material. It's a comedy through and through with every episode jam packed with gags and jokes. Konosuba uses subversion of expectations, as well as predictable cliches in a refreshing manner and excels as a show for those tired of Mary Sues and Gary Stus.
Tom: Konosuba's comedy never once lets up, rarely straying from the humor that sets it apart from so many other generic Gary Stu meets Goddess offerings. It stays true to its nature as a Video Game, Fantasy RPG world parody. Not once does Konosuba take itself seriously, save for one mid-season episode that could easily be labeled as the weakest of Konosuba's short ten-episode run. Some might find this detrimental, as the comedy is relentless and the show strays from any truly heartwarming developments. But if you've come into Konosuba just looking for a good, hard laugh, Konosuba has you more than covered, easily claiming the top spot as best comedy for this Winter's season.
"That would be hot, if I was into frog saliva, which I'm not, at least, I don't think I am….? Wait, maybe…."
Linny: The humour in Konosuba rises from putting a little twist or even just efficiently utilizing beloved and familiar stereotypes and turning them into comedy gold. A lot of the humour and story is focussed on its main protagonists, with little to no time spent with other characters. While this helps the viewers bond with the main cast, it might frustrate those who enjoy a bigger cast, or make others feel like they're missing out on parts of the whole story.
Tom: Konosuba's tight main cast is easily its strongest point however. Kazuma, our lead reborn into this fantasy world, is a fun, full of himself, down on his luck MC. Aqua is an arrogant Goddess with a lot of promise, but no brains to back it up. Megumin, the mage of the group, is a glass cannon, that basically breaks every time she uses her magic, and Darkness, well, she's easily the character that'll make or break the show for you. Darkness can get a bit sexual, as she's a Masochist that takes great pleasure in casual humiliation as a Knight facing the forces of evil. If that sounds cool with you, Konosuba's definitely going to be a good time killer. It's these characters that make the show as strong as it is, assuming their absurd quirks are concepts you find interesting, and not forced or inane.
"Ha! Most men would die for attention from a perverted girl. Don't look a gift pervert in the mouth."
Linny: As Tom stressed, the characters and their quirks will make or break the show for you. Aqua and Darkness seem the most likely to turn viewers off the show either due to their ditsy arrogance or their sexual behaviour, respectively. However, Kazuma should be a welcome sight for those who crave a contrast to the army of generic and common fantasy adventure leads. He struggles to survive in this fantasy world, comically stumbling and fumbling as a broke manual labourer and the lowest ranked adventurer, rather than immediately being hailed as the saviour of the land by its inhabitants. Another weak point of the show is that it comes across as a promotional vehicle for the light novel series, with its condensed and episodic story pacing. Being only 10 episodes long, Konosuba clearly struggles to match the depth of longer running series. Character and story development start to take giant and sudden leaps in the second half of the season, making the show feel rushed and a bit lacking in substance.
Tom: Despite criticisms of Konosuba potentially being a vehicle for Light Novel promotion, something common among Light Novel adapted anime, it still has a lot of defining moments that stand out memorably, rather than fading into a mush of mediocre content I can no longer recall as some anime do every season. Moments like the battle against an army of sentient Cabbage, or Kazuma's surprise talent at stealing panties (by accident) or even the major plot line that flows through Episode four to six that culminates in one of the most well-crafted mid-season finales, where every plot thread and development comes together perfectly. Sadly, Konosuba stumbles a bit towards its finish line in the second half, with Episode seven, as mentioned previously, the weakest of the bunch, follow by another two episodes that feel more like OVA content, before ending with a great finale, that sadly isn't quite as strong as the mid-season conclusion. It should also be noted that despite avoiding much of the fan service other Light Novels cling to so strongly, Konosuba was just saving its load up for one big release (pun very much intended) in Episode Nine. If sexual humor is something you find uncomfortable that might be the episode to skip right over. (But if you're okay with it, damn is it a strong episode, maybe the best of the series.)
"The teammates that pee together, stay together: Out of sheer shame."
Linny: The animation in the show is another possible source of discontent as it fluctuates and even dips as the show progresses. There is an extremely noticeable change in the visuals around episode 9, and it becomes clear that animation quality and style will never be the show's strong point. Overall, it has the look of a lower end budget series but Konosuba manages to make it work by entertaining its viewers with its story, characters and comedy. The voice actors also deserve a shout out as their performances really helped to bring the characters to life, giving each personality that extra touch of conviction and a charm all of their own, perfectly tailored to their individual quirks.
Tom: Konosuba's animation is indeed inconsistent, and as Linny mentioned Episode nine is at the height of that with every character looking quite a bit off, but never actually bad, just off. The animation for Konosuba never gets truly awful, just distracting, and its quality remains a damn sight better than the likes of Garo - The Crimson Moon (oh that'll be a fun review.) but Konosuba's animation is definitely not a plus when viewed alongside shows like Myriad Colors Phantom World, perhaps one of the most visually impressive shows this season, and only rivaled by One Punch Man in the last year. Coupled with this, Konosuba's art design is at times generic, with characters like Darkness wearing garb that bares a remarkable resemblance to Erza's armor from Fairy Tail. Then again, perhaps that's the point.
"I often feel like this around, Tom *sniff*" – Linny
Linny: Konosuba is a show that I would personally bug my friends to check out, but like most things in life, it has certain conditions and caveats attached. First off: Konosuba has a character, Darkness, with a strong sexual undertone so if you dislike sexualized characters, you might struggle to enjoy the show. It also never manages to shrug off the curse of its short run and the disjointed storytelling and lower end animation quality may annoy others. However, if you're in the mood for a comedy and are a fan of fantasy land based stories, Konosuba is definitely a worthy choice.
Tom: Konosuba is ultimately an adaptation of an existing Light Novel series, and while we thankfully have it confirmed that there will indeed be a second season, Konosuba has already skipped at least one plot line in the novels, so for anyone who's a purest with source material Konosuba isn't afraid to cut some things to cram as much as it can within its short run. Ultimately Konosuba has become one of my favorite anime from this Winter Season, and if you don't have a problem with Darkness' sexual undertones, Episode Nine's near Ecchi genre shift, and enjoy Video Game nods, as well as Fantasy based humor, Konosuba is perfect for you. And even if it isn't quite your cup of tea, it'll probably still provide enough humor so as not to waste your time.
Konosuba is available for streaming via Crunchyroll.com
