      The anime will be airing first in Japan on Yomiura TV at 2:40am JST (1:40pm EDT/7:40pm CEST) and later in the week on other TV channels.
      Crunchyroll has posted an air time of 5:00pm EDT/11:00pm CEST. (which yes, means the anime is releasing at exactly the same time in North America and Europe as the pre-pub of the LN is)

      This Is a lie. Here in Mexico (Central Daylight Time) the anime airs at 1 PM

      I wanted to have a witty signature once I saw some of the ones some guys on the Bookworm forums had but None of the ones I thought felt witty enough...
      The solution: Fuck it, I'll go Commando!

        I don't know enough concerning Crunchyroll to rule out the possibility that they release episodes at different base times in different countries; that while simultaneous within a given country, it's not simultaneous in all of their affiliates worldwide.

        The US release was at 11:30 AM Pacific time.

          Yeah I was surprised when those still photographs popped up, I was like oh I know exactly where that is from! I'm totally going to the tokyo print museum. Whenever Japan opens for tourism..

          Actually i have flight credit i need to use this year, so maybe I should try the Plantin museum in Belgium if Japan doesn't open in time.

          If anyone is interested, I could go over to the Tokyo Print Museum and try to take some pictures (some museums here allow it, some don't) The Museum actually isn't too far from where I live.

          I could either make a gallery for the pics or make a discussion in the Bookworm section on here to post them for everyone.

              To build upon @Lily-Garden's response, Yes, we're interested.

              Based upon the videos, it's a fascinating place.

                Ok!

                Looks like the museum requires me to make a reservation right now (because of COVID) so I think the earliest that I can get over there is next week.

                  @talisein in my opinion I think its to posed to represent her different phases of book making in addition to her momentum.

                  poor myne with her constant failures in making paper at the beginning, she is walking slowly because she is very far from her goal.

                  merchant myne is walking at a much brisker pace because she finally made paper

                  apprentice shrine median myne has acquired the work force needed to actually make the books she desires so she is jogging

                  ceremonial robs myne's momentum is near unstoppable as she attempts to make letter type and such and i think that is supposed to be represented by her run

                        Not so much a spoiler as a hint of things to come but...

                        spoiler

                        All in all I'm just so happy to have it back. And with what even feels like slightly improved animation to boot. Seemed cleaner, somehow.

                          @osrizzo - You know, I was kind-of sad about this probably being the last season, but now that you've pointed this out, I'm glad there won't be an anime adaptation of P3. (/s)

                            I'd be interested in seeing photos from the print museum. That sounds lovely.

                              Eh, I'm still sad that this is likely the last season. I try not to be too hard on the translator, especially when it comes to these faux western names. If everyone remembers, the first season came out right after the first season of Shield Hero, where the name Myne was used by one of the most hated anime characters of all time. While I don't believe that it should have affected anything I can see why they may have wanted to distance our beloved gremlin. I do remember arguments that it was the reasoning at the time, anyways.

                              As for

                              spoiler

                              Ultimately, we, as LN readers, are a bit spoiled by having a translator as talented and dedicated as Quof.

                                I'm fairly certain the picture of the press they had in the latest ep is the press from the printing museum videos. Which, if so, sweet.

                                My grasp on sanity remains absolute.

                                Oh, right, the poison, the poison for Kuzco, the poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco, Kuzco's poison. ...That poison?

                                  I think you're correct, as the museum offers printing press demonstrations.

                                    Don't worry we can have solace in the fact that at least the Japanese merch will use the correct name.

                                      Happy Myneday, episode 2 is here! I feel like the director is struggling with all the flashbacks, but since its been so long since season 2 I guess it can't be helped. In the end the scenes are giving a good sense of her homesickness. I wish we'd get a little more complex harpspiel practice. In the 2nd half we learned a chant for the cone of silence that I don't think we knew before.

                                      I think episode 3 should pick up the pace.. assuming they don't feel a need to reintroduce everybody in the workshop.

                                        The anime this season makes Myneday fuller! Seeing the story animated brings a-whole-nother level of joy.

                                          Seems to be dropping in animation quality a little and the flow of the action in some scenes looked a bit disjointed. The CR "translation" is annoying, too, probably done by someone with no knowledge of the actual story - Lutz touring a papyrus workshop in a neighboring city? I don't think so!

                                          After reading something captivating, book lovers simply need to talk about it with someone.

                                            @angelus I'm pretty sure crunchyroll translators just get a copy of the script for the section they need to translate. Things like this are probably part of why JNC only puts one translator on most (all?) of their liscences. Also why were so lucky to have a translator like Quof.
