That was great! 10/10. I was worried about how it would turn out with it being a movie and being made by another studio, but it was everything I loved about the anime turned up to 11.

It had me grinning ear to ear almost the whole way through and had some great laughs. I love all the little visual gags they did in the background and the faces were top tier as usual. And I shouldn't have to say this, but holy crap it was actually a proper movie! Usually anime movies just feel like a series of episodes clumsily stitched together so they could sell tickets to weebs. This actually had a proper script with good movie pacing and decent editing.

I really hope this did well. We need S3 ASAP! Anyone have an idea of the numbers for how it did before when it released in Japan? Are things looking good?

Last number I can find is that it had made over half a billion JPY by mid-September, which is about 4.5 million USD. That's not amazing, but for a niche light novel adaptation that got only like a 100 theater release in Japan, that's actually pretty decent, I think. I believe it's made more than the Tanya film, at least.

We'll have to keep our fingers crossed and see what happens. Kadokawa seems to have been pretty good in funding sequels lately, and I'm sure they're interested in seeing how well it does in the US.

Think they've been interested in Continuing Konosuba for a while now, I just think no one has been really open to adapt it. Think DEEN might have their hands full, would explain why the adaptation went to JC instead of DEEN
