@tusf by "volume 20", which part/volume? Amazon.co.jp doesn't list them as a continuous series... and they only seem to be pushing the kindle editions...
Although I probably would be better off waiting until the whole thing comes out on Bluray in the US.

@someoldguy Part 4 Volume 8

if they really are going the how we got here tactic I have to question why, these books are stupid long, why are you wasting time on that.
-
@lurkingmclurk Thanks - I found the right one, but I can't seem to get Amazon to show the limited edition. I'd rather avoid opening another account with another vendor.
-
@someoldguy The one that came out like a week or two ago, or Part 4, Vol 8(?) is what I think it is? I only heard about it from someone else on NU forums, and there is a low-quality rip out there, but dunno if ordering the Amazon one will have it, or if it's some in-story exclusive?
-
@tusf I found it - ¥1296 for just the book, but Amazon doesn't list the limited edition with the DVD (which would be ¥2200 according to the TO site).
I think I'll wait.
-
@eternal-wanderer I mean, it's not like it would cut the number of episodes or anything. It might confuse anime-onlys on the first episode, but i imagine everything after the first scene will continue without issue.
Might also give an excuse to let Myne narrate her story (seeing as lots of adaptations strip out character narrations) -
How much of a delay does it usually take for DVD like this to be available in US?
-
@hiroto My experience with the "bundled" DVDs is that, unless you order the bundle from Japan, you won't get it. Even when a series gets translated (like To Love-Ru, announced just days after I got the final manga from Japan), the OVA DVDs are not released with the translation.
But, my experience has been limited so far.
-
@hiroto Crunchyroll so far is the only company to have rights in the west, that we’ve heard of. Even when they dub their own series (like Konosuba) they are very inconsistent with getting their series on home video. The ones that were shared with Funimation and dubbed there have had consistent home video releases, at about a year or so after the Japanese premiere (minus Masamune kun for some reason). They recently entered a deal with Viz Media for home video distribution, but nothing has come to fruition.
-
A few cuts from the first episode.

So the whole thing is going to be spoilers for like the next two years of books then? That kinda sucks
-
@smashman42 I wouldn't think they're going that far.
-
@smashman42 from the trailer it will adapt 1st and 2nd Arc(7volumes)in 14ep.!
-
@theredjet Nah, it's likely only the first 3 volumes will be adapted. That Part 2 scene in the trailer is from the first episode.
-
@paul-nebeling & @TheRedJet I misread a few things earlier in the thread & thought the first arc (part 1 vols 1-3 I assume?) would be a quick montage then the season would be mostly the second and third parts/arcs.
If it is really just parts 1 & 2 (7 volumes) that isn't too spoilerific, I guess? Though the team here have not long started vol 1 of part 2 (part 4 of 12?), then at best part 2 vol 2 might be finished by the end of it airing, so between one and a half & two vols of spoilers.
Am I on the right page now do ya'll think?
Edit: @tusf they had a scene in the end of the trailer that didn't match up with anything by the end of part 1 vol 3 as far as I know....
(spoiler tags contains end of part 1 vol 3 spoilers comparison with the trailer)
-
There is one interesting data point that "Cast" listing only shows characters from Part 1. Like Fran, who is a major character starting in Part 2 is not listed there, and neither Gil nor Delia.
-
@smashman42 Check out earlier discussion on Page 3. A low-res version of the first episode is already out (released with limited edition 20th vol (Part 4, vol 8)), and the scene in question is at the very start of that episode.
If you want to see for yourself, there's a rip available at the usual place.
-
A quarter page (I think) Ad was put out on a national news paper (Yomiuri) this morning to advertise the book series and the start of the anime on 10/2.
-
Just watched the first episode on Crunchyroll. Yea, the first 90 seconds were a spoiler that most light novel readers may want to skip until we get to that point (which supposedly is in part 2 v2). I think it kinda made sense to include from a narrative standpoint. The animation and art are simple, not overly beautiful or a trainwreck, but doable.
Edit: After credits has a rather funny scene too, so don't miss that :)
