Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! Movie: Kurenai Densetsu

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 ... animation was lacking in quite a few places, which is even more noticeable this time since it's supposed to be a movie. Background characters sometimes barely have a face. True to the spirit of Megumin, they seemed to put more budget into just the explosions, which looked pretty good.

Overall score: 8/10 - If you liked the show and don't expect the movie to go above and beyond the show's quality, then this will be a great watch. If you didn't like the show, why are you even reading this review? Go watch something else, pleb. :P

Mixed Feelings

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.

I saw Konosuba about three years ago. I remember liking it and finding it pretty funny, but I also found it a little forgettable. I gave it a 7 at the time. When to movie was released, my friend who really likes konosuba wanted to watch it so we watched it together.

I was a little disappointed. I found it very stale and boring. The sound and animation were good noting special, but nothing bad. The characters were exactly as you would think if you have seen konosuba before which made them stale and predictable. The story was really bland and not interesting.

The jokes weren't funny, ... only about 3 got me to exhale out of my nose. Because the movie was depending on boring and predictable jokes it became very dull.

My friend said he enjoyed it and gave it a 8 so I if you really enjoyed konosuba you should watch it, but maybe you are like me and will be bored of the stale story and predictable jokes
