![]() Takahashi : For example, we have the order of emotions for Megumin. While recording for the movie, hearing those directions made me feel “Ah KONOSUBA, I’m back.” He draws the line clearly on scenes that he allows for freedom of expression and scenes that he wants a particular direction on. Takahashi : Director Kanasaki is very thorough about scenes that he is particular about. ――Being able to interact with the director face to face allows for a smooth transition into the acting. The recording sessions always have this pleasant feel to them. Furthermore, we go into recording while all these instructions are still fresh in our minds, so everything moves at a fast pace. Director Kanasaki (Takaomi) and the Sound Director Iwanami (Yoshikazu) will be in discussion at our recording booths and explain to us the directors they want for the scenes. Unlike many production sets, where the sound director receives instructions from the director and passes on to us, for KONOSUBA, the director does it directly. Takahashi : KONOSUBA gives off the impression that the recording sessions are easy. ――You have been in the recording studio since the 1st season now, how is the atmosphere like? For the 2nd day, (during the recording) I thought about injecting more fun. It was also to actually get a feel of bringing out the character’s personality. Since it was the first time in a while for all of us, we had to think about the extent of improvisation for the lines. ![]() So I didn’t think too much about the developments in part 2 and only after we wrapped up recording for day 1, I sat down to study part 2 in further detail. It felt like if it will be tough to act for part 1 if I crammed in too many of these climax scenes into my head. I read the entire script when I got it, but for the 1st day’s preparation, I had to avoid consuming too much of part 2. Day 1 was for the 1st half of the movie, and vice versa for the 2nd day. Takahashi : The movie lasts for about 90 minutes and we had 2 days for the recording. ――I believe the recording for the movie was tough too. That was why tears wouldn’t stop flowing when I heard about the plans for the movie. In KONOSUBA, the characters go on adventures, live out each day in the streets, occasionally battle indomitable foes, it is a work that makes you wish for the continuation of these boisterous days. Being able to record the lines with everyone, acting out Megumin, as well as going on an adventure with everyone is the best thing I can ask for. Takahashi : Putting aside the movie, I’m just happy that I got to work on a new production for the series. ――Because of the popularity of both seasons, a movie got green lit. There is nothing like the team we have here. It is because of the 2 season we had that made me feel this way. Takahashi : Although “Crimson” is the theme of the movie, I hope that everyone sees the party as a whole and look at Megumin’s relationship with everyone else. ――Megumin’s conversations with the other characters is a highlight on its own. Contrary to what the title may suggest, she is incapable of doing things alone (laughs). Takahashi : Although Megumin is the feature in the movie, after watching the movie, you will definitely feel that she is wonderful when she is with her party members and the people from the Crimson Demon Village. So that’s the long awaited story of Megumin right? ――The movie title is 『KONOSUBA: God’s Blessing on this Wonderful World!! Legend of Crimson』. There is nothing better than being able to record the lines with everyone, acting as Megumin and going on an adventure together. For starters, let us hear about her thoughts on the Crimson Demon Clan being the feature in the movie. Plenty of her new sides are explored through the appearances of her family and friends. For this time, the stage is set in Megumin’s hometown, the Crimson Demon Village. From deciding who gets to be in charge of the jingles and more, the studio is full of vigor. In the 3rd part of this series, we have Takahashi Rie who voices Megumin in the series.
