Synopsis

It is not strange that the Demon Lord's forces fear the Crimson Demons, the clan from which Megumin and Yunyun originate. Even if the Demon Lord's generals attack their village, the Crimson Demons can just easily brush them off with their supreme mastery of advanced and overpowered magic.

When Yunyun receives a seemingly serious letter regarding a potential disaster coming to her hometown, she immediately informs Kazuma Satou and the rest of his party. After a series of wacky misunderstandings, it turns out to be a mere prank by her fellow demon who wants to be an author. Even so, Megumin becomes worried about her family and sets out toward the Crimson Demons' village with the gang.

There, Kazuma and the others decide to sightsee the wonders of Megumin's birthplace. However, they soon come to realize that the nonsense threat they received might have been more than just a joke.

TL;DR: Basically a 1.5-hour long version of the show, with all the jokes and fanservice you'd expect from Konosuba!

The Good - The humor is on point, exactly the same quality as the show. Kazuma's antics are entertaining as always, Megumin gets plenty of fanservice, Yunyun gets a bit more screentime, and even the new villain is memorable. The interactions between the characters were a goldmine of laughs for me. Story-wise, it's a simple story about the gang visiting Megumin and Yunyun's hometown. Nothing special, but no one watches Konosuba for the plot, amirite? ;)

The Bad: Since the movie is basically just an extended episode, the read more

TL;DR If you like Konosuba, you will have a great time, but don't expect stellar animations, just because it's a movie.

Review:

Saw this movie in a local german cinema a few hours ago.
The german subtitles were kind of inaccurate at times, but nothing that impacted the understanding of the scene/plot. (But one time they forgot to translate background chatter, that was subtitled in Japanese.

Story - 7
Nothing too special, but not generic either.
The story was mostly what you'd expect from Konosuba, but the last 20 minutes were a bit too "cliché-anime-movie", in my opinion.
However all plotpoints had the usual quirky (and kinda dumb-funny) konosoba-feel read more

So I watched this movie like a few hours earlier in the CineStar in Frankfurt. It was part of a simultaneous screening in a few towns around Germany. I didn't even know KonoSuba outside of the first 3 LN's so I took my time to watch the first season just yesterday. I didn't manage to start the second season yet, so I wasn't aware of like 20% of the cast, which was unfortunate. I didn't expect the movie to supercede the second season and I also do not expect the movie to be canon.

The story is rather dull, but KonoSuba lives off its enjoyment, the quirky characters and the witty banter between them all so I can ignore that point. The story mainly surrounds the Crimson Village and a lot of KonoSuba-typical shenanigans happen there. Our group also encounters another evil general of the 魔王 preceded by a horde of ugly goblins and fight them with Explosions.

The art is fair, but there were a few bad animated sequences. Some even had some kind of image blurring. Mostly the animation was okay though, it felt like an amalgamation of several studios which was then confirmed with the credits. I saw influence from White Fox, JC Staff (obviously) and Aniplex, but there may be more.
The colors are vibrant, don't feel overly flashy though. This is a negative for me, because I kind of expect such a quirky show to flash me with near epileptic magic spells and summons. I wasn't really blown away though.

The music is nothing special. The opening sequence starts with Subarashii Sekai, which we already know from the Season 1, but the credits theme is a newly composed one. I cannot really remember any memorable section in it though. It's more of a smooth finish but not overly representative.

It could just have been the cinema sound, but the explosions were probably the most impactful of the show. They ran through every cell of my body and during a special explosion scene with an unexpected twist I even developed some goosebumps. Thats decent.

Voiceacting is absolutely superb, even the unimportant characters had great voiceacting and were as believably quirky as the general cast.

Enjoyment:

Well the enjoyment is rather awesome, simply because KonoSuba lives off its jokes. The jokes were spread evenly throughout the 1 1/2 Hour of playtime and it felt like watching a special episode of the show. I kind of felt like the trope of the Crimson Villagers going full-on chuuni is going to tire out really quickly, but they each had their individual twist to it which made it fun everytime. The banter was really enjoyable and also Kazuma fucking himself over by his limitless horny on main was a great joke.

I felt that the jokes were stretched a bit much though. The punchlines had always worked well. I doubted that they would miss a single joke right after the first 15 minutes.

Misc:

We were watching the movie with German sub and these were rather unfaithful to what was said in my opinion. Though they somehow made the jokes work in a rather primitive fashion. There is this scene where the main group insults Kazuma by giving him different honorifics and nicknames. The translated subs just filled these blanks with insults like "Kazumarsch, Kazumüll" etc.

Also there was a section where the original japanese sub was inserted and not translated. I cannot conjure an explanation for such an oversight?

Overall KonoSuba - Legend of Crimson is a decent experience, which I why I give it a solid 7 and watching it in a cinema screening was a good idea. If you excuse me now, I will watch Season 2 tonight.

Ok so first of all, my grammar literally sucks. Most of you are gonna see my score, check my list and point certain things out. I’m probally gonna delete this review if I get a lot of back lash but for now here were my thoughts. I am not a reviewer but just hear me out.

First of all the story is pretty average, It follows the classic gang on a journey to protect megumins home village. Ima be honest, I hated the last 30 minutes of the movie. The fight was quite boring and everything felt kind of off. The movie for me anyways didn’t feel like a comedy anymore. The first hour of the movie was a joyride, I was having so much fun and the jokes were quite funny. However in the last third the jokes were kind of just thrown in, they didn’t quite fit the mood and they more importantly didn’t make me laugh. This is gonna be quite nit picky now but, I HATED THE WAY THEY TOOK OUT THE MAIN VILLAN (Silvia). I’m not gonna spoil anything but it felt too stupid, if your gonna ignore the jokes and focus on the action. At least make it interesting.

The art in the konosuba movie was incredible, you could really tell that the creators worked hard on this. Each motion the charcters made was fluid and for the whole movie I never thought. “Damn this looks bad”.

The voice acting was quite good in the whole movie, the line delivery was perfect and you could tell the voice actors we’re having tons of fun with their roles. Music wise there’s nothing of note, in fact I don’t remember any music in the whole movie. This is quite strange for a konosuba entery considering the OPs always strike joy from me.

This is probably gonna sound stupid but the character development in this anime was little to nothing. No characters except for yunyun and Megumin got any real development. Darkness barely had any screen time, Aqua was same old useless, kazuma was hornier then usual, and the new charcters were quite forgetful. In the movie it was revealed how yunyun helped megumin get explosion magic. Now that we know how selfless yunyun was in this moment in their past, why was Megumin always so mean to her. I might have missed this in the original series but considering how Yunyun sacrificed Magic points or whatever for Megumin, why in the hell would you be mean to her? I get it, it’s suppose to be a gag but it genuinely makes no sense to me. I forgot to mention but Silvia was an alright joke villain, he perfectly suited the villain role needed for this type of movie

As you can tell I did not enjoy this movie, it was funny at times but I did not pay 13usd to watch a basic comedy. I payed 13usd for a new experience I wouldn’t be able to find online in the normal series. See when you create a movie follow up, to make it truly incredible you must express emotions that you could not find in the classic anime. A perfect example of this is Tamako Love Story, the original anime was quite average and fun BUT in the movie they expressed the emotions between the two main characters in a Love Story. Konosuba did not do this expressing new emotions, it felt like paying to watch a 3 episode arc.

Thanks for reading till the end. I regret doing this already.
