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 to it.
It was sort of ecchi-heavy and it revolved more about sex, love and relationships as i expected.

Art - 6
Probably my biggest gripe with this film.
Most of the time it just looked like the TV-show, but on a big screen.
There was no scene that looked like complete trash, but -apart from some spells and explosions- nothing really stood out.
Also this movie had a lot of jiggling boobs.

Sound - 8
Can vary depending on Location, but my local cinema is pretty new so the sound equipment is rather good. You could really feel the explosions through your whole Body, but the sound wasn't deafining in any way.
Music was fine, the use of the OP at the beginning was fitting.
Voice acting was on point, but that's not too surprising.

Characters - 10
The characters and their quirks is something that makes Konosuba to what it is, as most of the jokes are built those characteristics.
Probably most important was Kazuma's desire to be a womanizer, which was used throughout the film, creating funny scenes until the very end.
All the characters' actions fitted their respective personality, nothing felt off.
The new characters were all pretty quirky and made for some humorous additions.

Enjoyment - 9
I pretty much laughed throughout the whole movie, in fact i laughed so much, that at some point i had to stop laughing, because my face started hurting.
Really only the chliché finale bugged me.

Overall - 8
"Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!: Kurenai Densetsu" knows where it strengths lie and plays them perfectly, but its weaknesses can't be overseen, especially the animations.
