Like the anime series it's inspired from, the opening cinematic has an anime-like opening with a theme song titled "Stand up!" as performed by Machico. The opening video. like the anime as well, features the Konosuba favorites performing some incredible looking feats in spectacular battles juxtaposed with the many times they often screw up during their adventures.

Kazuma decides to bring the goddess herself, and they are transported to a fantasy world filled with adventure, ruled by a demon king. Now Kazuma only wants to live in peace, but Aqua wants to solve many of this world's problems, and the demon king will only turn a blind eye for so long…"
