Yes:

If you really like Megumin, Yunyun, and Chomusuke
If you are OK with lower event pace, SoL style of show

No:

If you liked Konosuba because of Kazuma/Aqua/Darkness
If you expect to see a higher event pace with tighter episodic scripts
If you expect to see a straight comedy with lots of jokes

Thank you for this breakdown!

I'd just like to add there are some jokes in Explosion and I do end up laughing at least a few times per episode.

If you like Megumin, Yunyun, and Crimson Demons, then probably. The production values and budget seem MUCH higher than the first 2 seasons of Konosuba, so there's that too. I was honestly surprised, as the first 2 seasons looked low budget and had low episode counts (10 eps each).

I thought I'd skip it because I'd read the manga version of this, but when I finally caved and watched the Anime, I realized that it has more stuff and more detail than the manga did.

That's so good to hear after the honestly mediocre Megumin spinoff.
According to the article the series is 17 novels and looking it up, each season only covers 2 each, so there is more than enough content left to adapt.

It's been a while since season 1 and 2 aired eh? I think I'l have to have a rewatch before season 3 for a refresher.

I'm looking forward to this. Hopefully it'll continue the trend set by the Megumin spinoff and have a proper budget this time. Maybe we could get 12 episodes instead of 10 too.
