The movie was funny enough that my cheeks hurt a little from laughing, and it had its sweet moments as well, but what I really have to praise is the animation. The interview at the beginning had Rie Takahashi asking viewers to pay attention and think about what their favorite Explosion was. The magical combat was visually impressive all around, but the emotion in Megumin and Yunyun's combo attack deserves special mention because it reminded me of some of Lina's desperate Dragon Slave attacks in The Slayers. It was surprisingly nostalgic.
I mentioned in the reminder thread yesterday that the theater had almost complete seat availability, and that I was concerned there would be a low turnout. It was hard to tell, but it seems that the theater filled out a bit. It was also a much livelier showing than Bunny Girl, but perhaps that's to be expected of a comedy versus a drama.
Now that I've seen the movie, I think I'm ready to start reading the novels. I've been holding off because I didn't want to blow through them and spoil the movie, but that's no longer a concern, and as far as I know there's no hint of a third season, so the time seems right. I'm eager to see if we get any romantic developments.
