Isekai Quartet is back again with a movie installment while still retaining it's chibi artsyle and how it is? Well it's alright I guess. The first two seasons are more enjoyable but I guess I wouldn't say this is a complete waste of my time.

Let's be honest we're all watching Isekai Quartet just to see the cool crossover aspect and character interactions between the different isekai series and this movie continues to deliver just that with pairngs you rarely see before like Kazuma & Ainz, Subaru & Demiurge, Naofumi and Tanya's henchman and more and their interactions are still relatively charming. The jokes are pretty much what you expect from the series with it mostly coming from the character's usual schtick and references to their original series though I do admit Kazuma stealing panty joke does get pretty old and predictable but it does subverts the expectation at the end with him doing a really nice thing for the new characters with his steal ability which I can appreciate. Also for some reason Subaru and Beatrice relationship seems like it carries over post season 2 which is weird, do the Re Zero characters jump out of the Isekai Quartet world and back to their original world and then after S2 jump back to the Isekai Quartet world? I don't really know how that works tbh. And if it does happen post S2 then shouldn't Rem still be asleep? Oh well I guess it doesn't for a non canon series like this.

Speking of the new characters though, I like how each of them represents each of the Isekai series (excluding Overlord and Shield Hero) and they have pretty understandable motivations for what they're doing as well. Though I do wish they build up Pantagruel and Vera's friendship more before the climax or at least show more screen time of their friendship because I don't really feel a bond between them at all which is why the emotional moments during the last third of the movie felt kinda forced. But the characters themselves are still enjoyable to watch and their interaction with the other Isekai characters are pretty nice. The plot itself surrounding the characters isn't very interesting though, I just felt like the serious tone is odd and out of place for a wacky crossover chibi series like and I absolutely cannot take it seriously.

The animation still keeps that chibi artstyle from the orginal show again like I said but there is at least more movements shown in the movie so that's something I suppose. I don't really know if that counts as a compliment but hey at least the climax is neat.

Overall it's an ok movie that's not going to wow anyone over but if you enoyed the first two seasons chances are you might find some enjoyment from this movie as well. Though this series really does not need a grand epic story around it as watching the characters from different Isekai series just having fun banter with each other is entertaining enough already. Oh yeah also don't forgot to watch the after credits scene which added two new characters to a possible third season of the show.
