I will never, ever say no to a fantasy comedy from the author of Konosuba. If I remember right (with absolutely no effort made to fact check, fyi) I believe Combatants Will Be Dispatched, the light novel, was made before Konosuba, so many of the ideas of it were refined into that series I hold so dear.

What to Expect From The Combatants Will Be Dispatched Source Material Compared to The Anime?
Like with any light novel anime adaptations, the Combatants Will Be Dispatched skips a few things and does add in a bit of anime-original content, but it is still considered a pretty good adaptation.
As Combatants Will Be Dispatched is a comedy series, it isn’t a very detail-dense series, and is mostly just a lot of jokes. So there is really no need to read the series from the beginning for what it skips unless you want to.
Will There Be A Combatants Will Be Dispatched Season 2?
There has been no official announcement of a Combatants Will Be Dispatched Season 2 anime.
While not as popular as Konosuba, Combatants Will Be Dispatched still does catch some run-off as the side project of the author, so it has a higher chance due to that, but another season for this “less popular” series does seem unlikely.
