[Anime Movie Review] - Isekai Quartet The Movie: Another World

This is my review of an anime movie called Isekai Quartet The Movie: Another World

"

I forgot to review this movie before season 3 of the show aired. I didn't even realize that this was on Muse Asia at the time. I was just hyped about the 3rd season and forgot that this exists.
Thanks for the reminder, Muse Asia. I appreciate it!

I never once reviewed the two seasons before, so I'm going to combine all of my reviews in this movie review.

How did I find this?
I recall hearing about a collaboration series that was going to be aired soon, and I was curious. Turns out it was four of my favorite isekai series combined into one.

Appealing (Why did I get into the anime?)
For the first season, I was captured by the concept of this collab series.
.
Then the second, I was so hype that Shield Hero joined the show. I mean, let's be honest here, Shield Hero is literally Isekai Quartet in a nutshell. All four heroes were summoned from different Japan. That's literally Isekai Quartet! But I got disappointed because Motoyasu, Ren, and Itsuki aren't here. I reaaallly wanted to see them pee their pants, especially Motoyasu. 😂
.
After that, the movie!
I was going in blind. I didn't expect much of it. I was already deep into the series anyway, might as well watch it, right? Thankfully, Muse Asia provides the movie, FOR FREE! Thanks, guys, I love you guys sooo much. 😭

Platform
I remember seeing season one on Muse Asia, but it's not there anymore. Huh? Their license must have expired. Season 2 and the movie are still there, though.
Other than Muse, it is also on Aniplus Asia, Crunchyroll, Animate Gamer Taiwan, and Netflix Japan. I just gathered information from the news on the MAL page for each season. I don't know if these are all accurate, so I'm sorry if I sounded like spreading information.

The review;
Plot/Story
As the title suggests, YES! Four worlds collided into one. That's literally it. If you're a fan of all of the IP, then you'll have a great time watching it. That's for sure!

But in this movie? Oh boy, you'll be surprised. They actually went hard with the story. They literally expanded the dimension. The lore basically is as follows. There are lots of dimensions in this universe, and some are stuck in the ordinary world, like in seasons one and two, while others are stuck in this lone world. The story in the movie basically suggested that there is one character from Konosuba, one from Re: Zero, and one from Tanya the Evil, while from the Overlord world were the golems, stuck in this lone world.
The main cast of the show accidentally got suck into the lone world and figured out what's going on with this weird world system.

I was actually impressed that they took the time to add lore to this show. I never thought that it could work, and the story would just be fine with these characters from their series interacting with one another. But they said, hold my beer and actually make an actual good lore from this movie while still poke fun at the characters' interaction.

Great job, Studio PuYUKAI. Never thought you guys would do it.

(Not a spoiler, but just a warning. This movie is actually important for season 3, believe it or not. YES! It picked up where they are when the movie ended.)

Character
If you have watched these series, you know them already. They are one-to-one with the character from their perspective series.

Besides that, the new characters added to the movie are also awesome. I love how the character from Tanya the Evil is the main focus of this movie. It was so funny considering that in her... his... I forgot that Tanya is a man stuck in a girl's body. What should I call Tanya? You know what, let's just call Tanya, she/her.

Yeah, her series was the only series from this Quartet that hasn't gotten a season two. They expanded her world in this movie more than in her own series. 😂

OST/SFX
Divine!
Holy sh*t, they're cooking hard. I swear, man, this is just a silly little series, right? Why go so hard?
You guys didn't need to, but you did it anyway.

Animation
Some probably think that, when looking at the chibi art style, it won't look good.
Guess what? They went hard, especially on the movie.
If you are a fan of any of these series, you are missing out.

VA
They are all fantastic. The fact that the studio stays true to the OG VA is great. The VAs are all enjoying their time talking and dissing each other. I mean, just listen to the KonoSuba crew's VA. They are having a blast with their voice. Listen to Ainz and Albedo; they are also fantastic. Like, OMG, I can't stop praising this series to the core.

The conclusion;
The good
Go watch it if you haven't, you are missing out, because just look at me! I'm having a blast.
The bad
I still wish they did the series justice. I swear, like I mean: airing an episode only for 12 minutes? That's a crime! And just 12 episodes each season? Why not do more? 😭

Gratitude
Well, I wish they had bought back the licence for seasons one and bought season three, but other than that, thanks for providing the movie for free to watch on YouTube, Muse Asia. I appreciate the kindness.

Overall, 8.5/10...
Actually, let me recalibrate.
Season 1: 8.7/10
Season 2: 8.5/10
Movie: 8.9/10

Great for the quartet fans. I recommend the movie a lot.
