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.

Essentially playing like an episode of the show but stretched out to feature length, Konosuba Legend of Crimson offers an explosion of laughs, colour and all-around fun for fans both new and old. It definitely feels like the franchise has not lost any of the pep in its step, there's a fine balance between treating its characters with disrespect and love and it's something you can only experience with this franchise. Because the film has such a deep love for its characters, it has no problem making them as ridiculous as possible for a good laugh. The characters move with impressive fluidity and, because there's ... an inherent sense of ridiculousness throughout, the film has no problem contorting the faces and the bodies of its characters to better punctuate a gag with fun visuals. This also extends to its fight scenes, which also expand their scope to a feature film level with the colourful personality befitting the franchise. Due to the nature of it being a feature film without the restrictions of its usual television constraints, there are a few jokes that seem like they go a bit too far, but they by no means ruin the experience. The rhythmic nature of how the dialogue flows from one comedic situation to another keeps things moving at a constantly entertaining pace. It does just feel like you're hanging out with old friends again. Legend of Crimson is an all-too-appropriate explosion of all-around fun with pure laughs and ridiculous situations, it doesn't aim too high, but it's still a celebration of everything that makes this anime fantasy such a treat, a victory lap for the franchise that's also teasing a future burning quite bright, I wish I'd taken my chance to see this in the cinema when it came out.

Mixed Feelings

This was basically an extension of the show in the form of a movie instead of split up into episodes, which fair enough - it definitely isn't the worst anime movie I've seen, especially because the feel of the movie was very consistent with the actual seasons of the show and everyone was in character, plus the narrative of it felt as relevant as it could to a relatively plot-less isekai.
I could have done without them trying to make Kazuma and Megumin a thing, as it definitely wasn't needed, and once more Kazuma proves how absolutely useless he is. This seems very consistent with ... the stereotypical isekai so I don't understand the hype surrounding the show, but it's definitely one you don't have to take seriously and can kind of switch off to, which I can appreciate in its own right.

This is a review from a big fan of Konosuba and I was really excited to finally watch this movie. I love Konosuba and think it's amazing and deserving of praise, but this movie was just awful.
The animation wasn't bad and the sound was pretty good, but the jokes and the story were good awful. None of the jokes hit the same way as in the series and the story was just boring. I hated how they made everyone just another Megumin in the clan and I have some questions for this movie.

Why did all the users in the clan not have to use staves ... except for Megumin? Aqua also uses a staff and other magic users use them as well. So why does the entire Crimsion clan not use them? I get that Wiz doesn't use them but it made a bit of sense to me since she was a lich. Most liches are powerful beings who use special dark magic unlike other magic users. I thought that Wiz would be the same and she was incredibly powerful and thus she didn't need a staff since her power was so great. But if the entire clan is just as powerful, why don't they go after the Demon King? Instead they don't seem to be doing anything about it. Also, why is Megumin's parents poor if they both have magic, at least the mom does, and seem to be pretty good at it. Why don't they just go do guild work to get said money? It doesn't make much sense. And it seems that they are the only people to have problems with money in the clan. But why? I thought it would have been much better had they not been great magic users, all the clan members didn't live in the same area, we focused more on Megumin's childhood and Yoonyoon, and we had more in the way for romance for Kazuma and Megumin. This movie was a huge let down. The right scene at the end was boring because they had this entire clan that could take down the general if needed to and there was hardly any focus on Megumin and Yoonyoon.
There are also points in the movie where it seemed like the characters were doing things that didn't make a lot of sense for them. At one point, when talking to Yoonyoon's dad, they are told that a large group of minions of the Devil King was coming to the village. The dad doesn't seem bothered by it but you know who got freaked out over it? Kazuma and Darkness. Let's hear that again. Kazuma and DARKNESS. Why would Darkness be freaking out over this? She would be excited if anything, but she isn't. Aqua should have been the one to freak out over it. And there are other moments like this but I can't say I paid enough attention to even remember what they exactly were.

Also, they make jokes about sexual assault several times. Just why... Yes, Kazuma stole panties of girls but when watching it, I was never bothered by it I guess because of the way they did it. He did it a few times throughout the show though the major time he did it, and the first time, was to win the dual against Chris. The show made it clear he was trash but never made him try to assault one of the girls or be assaulted as a joke. That's what they did in this movie. Kazuma almost got raped by a gang of orc women and the show made it off as a joke. It didn't sit well with me and wasn't handled in the same way when he stole panties by using steal. I know it's weird to be okay with that thing but not this but it just wasn't funny and was kinda just horrible.

I really, really did not like this movie and I watched this after watching all of Konosuba again. This was just horrible and didn't even feel like Konosuba one bit. I am very disappointed by this movie and will never watch it again.
