To make this story more accessible, we'll personify the 2 studios as cute, big-chested anime girls, Deen-chan and J.C.-chan.

It is a bright and colorful day in Studio City. Deen-chan just got news that her most popular anime, KonoSuba, will be getting a movie.

Deen-chan: A movie desu ka? Chikusho, I barely had enough chikara to create the 2 seasons! Yappari, I will have to pitch this to a better studio. Let's see here, Bones-chan and I.G-chan are probably busy... Ah, that's it! Sunrise-chan probably earned a ton of money from Love Live last year, so maybe sh-KYAAAAAAAAAA!
J.C.-chan: jumps out from a nearby bush and gropes one of Deen-chan's bobs with one hand, while holding a bag in the other Put the franchise in the damn bag.
Deen-chan: EH?!?!? Anata? Why would I give it to anata? You're an even shittier studio than m-
J.C.-chan: squeezes on bob even tighter
Deen-chan: Hnnnnnngh! Wakatteru! Take it! puts KonoSuba in the bag

J.C.-chan runs off with KonoSuba in her bag and a grin on her face.
J.C.-chan: MUAHAHAHAHA! This will surely earn me a lot of okane. Maybe even more than all those halfu-assed, halfu-CG adaptations of beloved source materials I shit out throughout the year because most people don't even care about the quality of anime nowadays. Surely, my evil plan to rule Studio City will come true! MUAHAHAHAHA!!
She runs off into the distance and retreats to her building.
.

A-Anyways, what's your opinion on J.C. Staff getting their filthy claws on KonoSuba?

From the anime I've seen of J.C. Staff, I can't say I found any of them particularly underwhelming from a visuals standpoint (probably around decent, on average), so it should be okay? I don't see how they're worse than Deen after looking through their list. Yeah, Konosuba was made pretty good, so it might be a high standard to live up to, but I can't imagine it turning into a massive disaster by letting J.C. Staff do it, at least from my experiences with the studio...

Well, it's more their recent endeavors that are laughably low quality. Take Shokugeki no Souma season 3, Back Street Girls, Satsuriku no Tenshi, High Score Girl... Heck, even Saiki Kusuo and Planet With (as much as I love those two).
It seems like they make stuff good-looking only when they feel like it (cuz I imagine it's not really an issue of money for a studio that big). They just look at what might earn them the most money, grab it before anyone else can, and shit it out as fast as possible.
The fact that they'll be doing OPM season 2 is worrying as well

I only have my own experience to go off of, but in corner Deen I see FSN with a horrible CG Dragon and the only redeeming quality for the series being that Illya actually lives, and Konosuba. (I didn't care much for Higurashi but that's not the studio's fault).

And in corner JC Staff I see Azumanga Diaoh, Toradora! Golden Time!, the Raildex series, and Ano Natsu de Matteru.

So from my perspective JC Staff has a better track record.

EDIT: I forgot the Pet Girl of Sakurasou. I see a pattern of watching JC Staff romances. >_>

Those are all shows from the time when JC was a competent, good studio. If you looked at some of their recent stuff you'd be shocked at how low they've gone D:

i agree, we have all seen what happends when a new studio picks up a series and ends up butchering it i think they do this because they are tired of milking the cash cow and its time to kill it for the meat

It's almost like there's different staff within the studios.

Also remember when Deen made anime in the 80s and 90s?
The same goes for JC Staff in the 90s.

It's been a while since I last watched a good J.C. Staff show so I'm a bit skeptical with this. But then again, DEEN doesn't exactly have the best reputation when it comes to the quality of anime they make.

I thinks its the Knosuba movie what is causing those to be bad. Since they are doing the best they can to not botch Konosuba they are bothinchg other adaptations.

If the movie has the same staff as seasons 1 and 2, then it'll just be like The Irregular at Magic High School movie where the studio wasn't Madhouse, but rather 8-bit instead and look at how the movie looks and it looked extremely like the original TV anime because it had the same staff as the TV series. So I think the Konosuba movie will be just fine despite J.C. Staff being a part of the production.

Plus, I don't really see anything wrong with J.C. Staff. I mean, sure, some shows as of recent have been rather lackluster, but visuals and such have been very consistent with their quality with a few exceptions like Shokugeki seasons 2-3 with the amount of freeze frames and slideshows, but that's usually because J.C. Staff tends to take up too many projects at once and so other projects tend to suffer for it. But aside from that, in my opinion, there have been some great shows as of recent from J.C. Staff.

For example:
Amanchu!
Planet With
Danmachi
Alice to Zouroku
Flying Witch
Prison School
Shimoneta
Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan
Kujira no Kora wa Sajou ni Utau

Also, on to the thing with One Punch Man, it's not like Madhouse were gods in making it. From what I've heard, they had to hire A LOT of freelancers and other animators from different studios. So much so that you can just basically say that Madhouse didn't actually make it at all when it's actually a whole bunch of animators from all over that helped contribute to what it is today. So despite J.C. Staff picking up the torch to continue on for season 2, I'm sure that they'll most likely do the same and ask for outside help with the ambitious project to get the right quality it should have just like the first season.

Well I've never been a fan of how Deen atrociously adapted KonoSuba, so I'm glad enough that someone else is taking it.

And JC staff have yet to tilt me for the fourth time out of 47 so I'm not that feeling hopeless about this.

What I want to know is if this movie is filler or if it's the actual continuation of the main story from where season 2 left off (similar to how NGNL Zero was just volume 6 of the LNs).

But to actually post something on topic, I definitely don't like J.C. Staff being at the helm. That being said, the last thing of theirs I watched was San no Sara... In the end they basically have to choose between this or One-Punch Man, and we'll have to tolerate and respect their decision.

My sentiments exactly! It's been a hilarious meme that people suddenly think JC is trash just because of a few hiccups and that they can never make anything good again.

Every studio has its problems with their form, some just have a bad year while others have a good year, just because 2018 was comparatively bad for JC it doesn't mean 2019 will be bad. A change in form is always imminent but people are always small-minded, sigh.

I for one love both studios for their own reasons and would rather WATCH the movie and judge rather than sit down and act like I know the future XD

Of course, but it's not like studios are a blank space with no influence in the organization and management of their projects and working conditions. "It only depends on the staff" is about as delusional as an answer as believing that everything comes down to the studio.

And in terms of how much the studio pushes a brand or certain quality standards, it's a case by case.

So long as we don't end up with a diffusing of hair colour like Minami-ke got through it's seasons, with a constantly changing arpartment even though they never moved. My main point is that it could be a lot worse, and even though JC Staff have been poor at times, I believe it has to do with whatever they've been working on at the time. Since this is a movie an all I'm sure they're gonna have more then just 3,000 Yen to work with

The good part is that this is just a movie... the bad part is that it may be canon, which may act as a 3rd season, and that gets me worried. J.C Staff actually does quality animation, and while I would have loved for Konosuba to get a better design from DEEN, more similar to the LN (because the animation, itself is actually very very good), it would be very weird now, to get better graphics... I prefer it to keep the goofy looking design, of the anime, and I am worried that J.C Staff may fail in that regard... the visual looks really unsatisfying to me. On the other hand, I really wonder why this is not done by DEEN and why they would miss the chance to make money with this movie. I don't think they lack the funds, as Konosuba was an actual huge hit.

Edit: I've done some research and it seems that those morons, made like 10 new anime just this year, and all of them seem to be below average... Since the last season of Konosuba (March 2017) they produced at least 18 new anime... Looking at their history, there is no doubt Konosuba was a hit, looking at the explosion of new series they got after it's the first season (before Konosuba, they usually produced 1 full series per season at best). Sadly, it seems that those guys are like my mother - the more money they have, the crazier they get to waste them. Nothing they produced this year seems to be even remote to being good... It seem they have no strategy at all. They never expected the success of Konosuba, and now they just trow series after series, hoping for a new miracle. After so much waste of both financial and human resourches, there is no wonder they lost the chance to make this movie.

Oh my god, I only just noticed that the movie will be done by J.C.Staff. That's great, J.C.Staff is my favourite studio and they certainly have better art quality than Deen overall. Maybe the characters will finally look as good as in the LN, that would make KonoSuba even better than it already is.

What picture do you mean? I think they look pretty fine in this one, better than the Deen version.

Though not quite in par with the LN version.
