As they have been doing more actively in recent years, Australian anime publisher Madman Entertainment has continued bringing animated feature films to the silver screen in venues across Australia and New Zealand. These screenings are typically months rather than years after their original Japanese release. Today, screenings of the feature-length KonoSuba: Legend of Crimson commenced across the country for a limited time season. The film is a continuation of the two TV anime seasons of KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on this Wonderful World (この素晴らしい世界に祝福を!) which aired across Japan in 2016 and 2017 respectively.
The screenings will only be at select venues, typically at the ones which you would usually find screening other Madman feature films. Typically there are between one and nine locations per Australian state, with screenings also taking place at nine venues across New Zealand.
Are you interested in seeing this new animated feature? Check the official Australian website for KonoSuba: Legend of Crimson and find if there is a cinema with screenings near you. You may want to act fast, as screenings from Madman Entertainment only run for only a couple of weeks if not a few days, if not a few days. Plus, given how hot it has been in Australia the last few days, it is an excellent opportunity to seek out refuge in an airconditioned theatre.
Never watched an episode of KonoSuba before? Both seasons are now available to stream via Madman Entertainment’s AnimeLab video-on-demand service.
KonoSuba: Legend of Crimson
A video game-loving shut-in, Satou Kazuma’s life should’ve ended when he was hit by a truck, but through a twist of fate, he ends up reincarnating in another world–and dragging the troublemaking goddess, Aqua, the wildly dorky mage, Megumin, and the unrelentingly delusional lady knight, Darkness, with him.
Now, the Crimson Demon village that Megumin and Yunyun are from is facing a threat that could mean its ending. Kazuma and his gang follow Yunyun, who returns to the Crimson Demon village intent on saving it… when they are faced with their greatest threat yet! What will become of the unremarkable adventurer Kazuma’s life in another world?!
