Legend of crimson brings back more of the silly unserious story that we know from previous seasons, along with a lot of important exposition about the world that Kazuma inhabits: We find out more about the tinkerer who built the mobile fortress destroyer and his power, Megumin's/Yunyun's background, the source of the Crimson demons, more about another Devil's general, etc... We also see a lot of relationship developments related to Megumin. We start off the story with a horde of horny monsters attempting to rape Kazuma...
To be frank, this is where I'm stopping with Konosuba, I'm tired of the same jokes being recycled over and over (Darkness=Horny over everything, Kazuma=Pervert, Aqua=Self-absorbed & cowardly, Megumin=Explosions & being an over-sexualized minor. Everything oversexualized,…

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 us…

When I was a child my father would tell me about the greatest films cinema had to offer in his time, Citizen Kane, North by Northwest, and many more. Growing up I was able to witness many more great films such as 2001 A Space Odyssey, the Star wars trilogy, and The Godfather.
After experiencing this work of art I can say without a doubt this is among man's greatest achievements. This is the apex of cinema. Nothing I say can do justice to what this art piece represents, what it makes the audience feel, what it is. It outshines all other previous achievements of man including the moon landing and the death of princess Diana.
I often contemplate the reason for which we exist, why we are conscious, why we are able to make decisions and form relationships. For what purpose does humanity exis…

It’s been a good two years since I watched Konosuba, and I’ve recently been curious what I would think of it if I watched it now. While I enjoyed it well enough at the time, I can’t say I thought it was that special, and it certainly wasn’t even close to the funniest comedy anime I’d seen. But after slogging through so much of the mindless dreck that defines the modern isekai genre, I think I’ve gained a new appreciation for Konosuba’s ability to take the piss out of it all. We need more shows with the confidence to clown on anime’s worst instincts, especially ones that do so with such consistently high-quality comic animation. It’s clearly an effort of passion and talent from everyone involved, and I’ll never knock that kind of creative drive. So when I happened to notice the recent movie…

Important notice! This movie is not for the weak of heart!
Well I'm just gonna start off by saying what everyone knows, that this movie is great because it's Konosuba, what else to expect! BUT, this movie had a small tweak compared to the anime seasons, they basically thrown a lot of random "konosuba" inside a huge pot, mixed that very good and they didn't even checked if the outcome was any good, they knew beforehand it was amazing.
Well, like usual, the story in Konosuba doesn't even matter, after watching the movie, trying to grasp what you just watched is pointless, you wonder what the fuck did you just witness, unable to understand such high level of storytelling.
So what was it that made this movie so unique?
Just the way Kuzuma and the other 3 higher beings next to him manage t…

Konosuba gets better with every new anime, and this movie is no exception. I've never enjoyed isekai, echhi and humor to such an extend then this movie.
The plot, animation and jokes are all perfect and have such a nice fit. What i enjoyed is that they used several styles to tell a story, and i appreciate that. It enhances the jokes and gives the viewer a vision of the feeling of the characters. They felt alive and balanced. You may say that they are all a "type" but in real life a person has one set of personality. That is what this story nailed.
Now stop reading this and start watching a great adventure!

I was happy when I heard that Konosuba would get a movie project, but I was pessimistic when I learned that Konosuba would be continued by JC Staff. Considering Date A live and One punch man who also moved to JC Staff studio, the results were not so good.
But apparently I was wrong, this one Movie is very impressive, I did not find any complaints for this one movie. Something that is unique from the Konosuba series made by Studio DEEN can be maintained, such as the funny expressions that are always displayed by each character, for visuals, even I prefer this version. The color looks a little more alive.
This is not a modified studio DEEN, but as made by enhanced Studio DEEN. The Konosuba series is one of my favorite series, and I hope Kazuma and friend's journey, in the future will still b…

I'm just gonna run through the individual categories real quick, and then give my actual thoughts on the movie.
Art, 9: We got a lot of good animation, and not just in terms of action scenes. I loved the goblin army, and how over the top their animation was when just talking. Or when Kazuma is raging at Sylvia over interrupting him and Megumin. And the action scenes were very nice.
Sound, 8: The music added a lot in terms of overall atmosphere, I think the score definitely made this a more enjoyable experience. Voice acting, as usual, konosuba is a treat to hear in both dub and sub.
Character, 8: Everyone had great moments in this movie, with the exception of Aqua, although Aqua is usually one of the best characters. Darkness didn't have much, either, but I loved the part with the orcs,…

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 konos…

If computers can only understand 1s and 0s. Then the only number that I could possibly give this anime is 10. Konosuba is a special anime with its own place inside my heart. It's uniqueness brims brighter than any other isekai anime I've ever seen in my life. As a D&D player and Dungeon master, and also a person who've enjoyed roleplaying ever since I was young. This anime does really put a smile on my face.
Story : 10/10
This movie is pretty much a long, big budget episode of Konosuba with less comedy and more sentiments. That's how I feel about this movie anyways.
I think that Konosuba took the right step to reduce the comedy and let the movie have more emotional developments. It makes the jokes not feel overly forced and still remain amusing. And yeah. One of the greatest things a…

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…

.one thing that I'm a bit pissed is that they remove tranquility girl from the light novel. I love that part on how they dealt with that cute monster. :( even if the movie is great i still have this feeling that the movie was a bit rushed and missing some details.. maybe because I've read the novel and really it is very detailed compared to the movie. but don't get me wrong! I still love it! Overall it is a much watch for all Konosuba fans out there. 9/10

Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!: Kurenai Densetsu –
Out of 100 Nobles watching… 100 were impressed!
Yeah, that’s right. You heard me. This movie was perfect. Go home, nothing to see here… except for this movie! Zing! Got em’… fine I’ll explain myself a for a bit.
In a world that was already exploding with Isekai anime,manga, and light novels after the creation of “Sword Art Online”, “Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!” or simply KonoSuba would rocket onto the scene and turn the whole formula on its head. While most Isekai have comedic moments, they would also more often than not take themselves a tad too seriously with the always overpowered protagonist and edgy themes. KonoSuba (at least in the anime I can’t speak for the LN) turned Isekai on its head addressing every trope…

A bit late to the party, gomen.
Konasuba the movie is the BEST adaptation I have seen of a light novel in sometime. It takes all the banter, comedy, fan service and writing that you've come to expect from the series and dials it up to 100. TL;DR, if you like Konasuba, you will LOVE this film. It's hilarious throughout
By now, you surely know what things to expect from Konasuba, and a deep or intricate plot is not one of them. The joy in this series comes from the laughs and the overall good time you have watching it. The movie is no different.
The film adapts volume 5 of the light novel which sees Megumin's crimson devil village in danger from the demon king's army. It's up to Kazuma, Aqua and Darkness to help her save her home. Going in, I of course knew the story already, yet I stil…

The second you see my rating of 10/10 you think hmm... does this pleb really think this was a masterpiece? How many shows has he even seen, putting a rating of 10/10 on a konosuba movie? Well...
I'm not going to get into any plot specifics, many people have already covered it and the story while good is the weakest part of the movie. It does it's job well and sets up many great moments and we even get to learn more about the crimson demon village but overall it isn't the main focus of the show, or rather it's not what makes it a great movie... it's the cast. Story:6.5/10
The cast makes this movie, which of course you already know if you've seen konosuba. The spotlight is on kazuma and megumin so the others don't get the most screen time but everyone has they're moments. The jokes were so…

Konosuba: Legend of Crimson (because mercy me I'm not typing out the entire Japanese title two more times) is pretty much everything I thought it would be: more raunchy humor, more insane characters screaming at each other, more lampooning of stock Light Novel fantasy tropes - all in all, more Konosuba. While there's a virtue to being surprised, there's also joy to be had in knowing what to expect walking in, and walking out wholly satisfied.
This would be a pretty difficult recommendation to anyone who has not already ready the Light Novels or watched the previous two seasons and OVAs. This isn't a filler movie adventure, this is the continuation of the story, and it expects familiarity with Konosuba's character dynamics and comedic rhythm going in. It also expects you to be okay with th…

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…

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 pr…

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 barel…
