Interview with Konosuba's anime character designer and 1 of the 2 animation directors Koichi Kikuta.
>He was the First Animator for Princess Lovers and some Working, and these two apparently influenced his decision to have use a minimalist + animating design for Konosuba.
>He was hired by Studio Deen to make another series, but that production was terminated. So Deen asked him to switch to his one.
>On first glance of LN illustrations, he exclaimed "this is way too cute. No way we can animate this." So he decides to concentrate on the animation part.
>The producer only rejected his proposal once and asked him to closer follow LN's designs. Koichi Kikuta made some minor changes to the design and handed the design back.
>The original author never once complained about the design.
>Even though he is the character designer, the other animation director Komatsu Momoka (even number episodes) actually followed his original design better than himself (odd number episodes). Most agrees that his original design and by extension Komatsu's episodes is better than his eventual episodes. He hangs his hat and apologizes for being too carefree.
