“I’m can’t abandon my friends.”

Holy crap. Megumin learning something other than explosion magic? And to think, at the start of the series she was adamant about learning only explosion magic and nothing else. Talk about character development.

Okay, I really like Megumin after seeing the movie

Overall, I’d give the Konosuba movie an 8.5 out of 10. I really liked it. I feel it really gets good around the halfway point. The first 50 or so minutes felt like a standard episode. It isn’t until the stuff with Sylvia happens that the movie really gets amazing.
 
I also have to backpedal a little bit on my comments wondering why wasn’t the hot springs arc the movie. Having finished the movie, it really served as the perfect character development for Megumin as a character. The hot springs arc was necessary to come before the movie as the movie really is about Megumin and her coming to accept doing something other than explosion magic.
 
I think the main thing that could’ve improved the movie is have the Sylvia character introduced earlier. Say, the 25 minute mark. She shows up around the 35 to 40 minute mark, but she doesn’t become a prominent part of the story until around the 50 minute mark. Until the 50 minute mark, the movie really has no direction. It’s just Kazuma and the gang doing their usual wacky hijinks, which is fine and all but not ideal for a movie.

What anime is she from?

What anime?

@Hali the Emoji girl  
She’s from the Konosuba movie

@Hali the Emoji girl  
Futabu,this character is Ellen.

@Dex Stewart  
The American, obviously.

Ellen had a little elephant robot with a camera in his trunk who followed her around.  

Wasn’t a big fan of the latest episode of Uzaki-chan. I forgive the show for doing an episode which is essentially one big tourism ad, as so was Zombieland Saga and Yuru Camp and they still managed to be enjoyable. However, not much really happened in the latest episode of Uzaki-chan. I especially found it infuriating they kept repeating the rice eating gag every couple minutes. One or two or three times is alright, but they did it like 7 or 8 times. It was too much.

Also, and I hate to say this because I didn’t mind it being one big advertisement, I do have to agree with others who’ve said it felt like a tourism ad first and an episode of the show second. When Zombieland Saga and Yuru Camp does their tourism ad stuff, it still feels like a show. This episode of Uzaki-chan felt separate from everything else going on. Nothing really happened.

@Holofan4life  
I hate camping,but Yuru Camp made me want to go camping.

So i finally got around to watching the last of the latest season of BNH, and i was not expecting Gentle to have such a sad and relatable backstory.

@WyrmSpawN
 
Gentle is a beast

Re;Zero season 2 is currently the most watched series on Netflix in Japan.

Thanks.

Last night I finished the two seasons of Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku o and Ōkami to Kōshinryō. I liked it. Very much. I can understand why both series are so popular. ;-)

Who the hell is that?

The reason why every German boy at the beginning of the 90s tried to push himself off with both feet from a goal post at least once in sports lessons while playing soccer. ;-D
