Get ready for more EXPLOSION! as a new trailer has been released for the upcoming movie of comedy isekai series KonoSuba entitled Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! Kurenai Densetsu (God’s Blessing to this Wonderful World: Legend of Crimson). Check it out below!
Besides giving us a glimpse of the upcoming action (and the much-missed EKUSUPUROOOOOSHON!), the trailer also gives us a preview of the movie’s theme song ”1 Millimeter Symphony" sung by Machico.
The new film is confirmed for an August 30 release. Legend of Crimson comes more than two years after the anime series’ end, and will be KonoSuba’s first movie. The movie will follow Kazuma and his gang as they try to save the Crimson Devil Village, the birthplace of Megumin and Yunyun.
The film will be directed by Takaomi Kanasaki, who directed KonoSuba’s first and second seasons. Makoto Uezu, who wrote the scripts for the TV anime, will also be returning to pen the movie’s script.
The cast from the TV anime are also set to reprise their roles for the film, such as Amamiya Sora (Aqua), Takahashi Rie (Megumin), Kayano Ai (Darkness), Aki Toyosaki (Yunyun), Yui Horie (Wiz), and Jun Fukushima (Kazuma).
Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! started out as a web novel series in 2012 written by Natsume Akatsuki. Eventually the web novel was revised to be a light novel series and was published under Kadokawa Shoten’s Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko Imprint from October 2013. It also received a manga adaptation in 2014 which was illustrated by Masahito Watari and Jospeh Yokobori, and was serialized in Fujimi Shobo’s Monthly Dragon Age magazine. KonoSuba eventually made the jump to TV when it was adapted into an anime series by Studio Deen, with the first season airing from January to March 2016 and the second season from January to March 2017.
The story centers on a NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) teenager named Kazuma Sato, who is sent to a fantasy world after an untimely death and forms an unlikely party with a (useless) goddess, a firecracker-addicted wizard, and a masochistic crusader to fight against monsters and the Devil King.
