#KONOSUBA MOVIE MAL TV#

So were episode 10 of season 2 and so were this movie. If you can recall the first episode of Konosuba, written by the same writer, it ended with a kind of lukewarm, awkward montage of 'and life goes on with infinite possibility'. I project that the issue might lies in the script writer. Those parts sit awkwardly to me, without a very good flow that blends itself to the background, unnoticeable. I didn't expect the movie to start slowing down at the part where Megumi had flashed back about her hometown and got worried about it and the part where the 3 girls were introduced and they mentioned Yunyun inability to cast higher level spells in the past. The charm and wit of the original is still there, and the voice acting is superb, but the comedic timing and spirit feels a little off. We should all remind ourselves that this is an adaption of a LN, hence the things to look out for would be dialogues, the flow between scenes and of course, the delivery of contents. No, not the LN writing, the writing of the episode. While we are at it, let's discuss the writing. Unfortunately, the writer that came wasn't the one in charge of later episode, when the show truly spread its wings and turned into quite something else. Let's get down to it.įrom the Dean staffs came the director and the script writer for the original series.

This, left me a little cold if I am honest. What we should look at is perspective, as this show is not just an adaption of the Konosuba LN, it is the work of J.C.Staff, who are trying to find their way back to the lime light. No, the story is fun, the characters are as fun as always, but when reviewing something, if merely giving your opinion on whether or not it is good is enough, we won't need reviewers. This movie adaption is a lukewarm attempt at a movie adaption. My fear, as it turned out, were somewhat justified. J.C.Staff industrial approach to animation have drained it of its best creative minds, turning a husk their former self. When J.C.Staff took over Dean for the adaption, I feared the worst. If you have already watched it but felt a nagging feeling, like me, that this wasn't as awesome as If you are outside a cinema where it is showing and wonder if you should really spend 2 hours of work pay and 2 hours of time to go see it, you should, because it's Konosuba and you'll have a good time.

If you are, my guess is, you have already seen the movie.

Let's start this by mentioning that, unless you are a fan of the TV show, the original LN or having read the comic adaption, you won't have enough context for this movie.
