Oh my goodness yes, Anne's backstory was so good to see here.

@lighthawk96 i was surprized as well. Its nice to see second side of story and if they had "one shot" thing, using Anne's was nice. Although i still think they could do 2 parts like "My Roommate Is a Cat" anime. First part was owner's eyes, second from cat's.

They could. But I still really liked how they inserted this story. It didn't feel like a wasted episode. It felt like it definitely had purpose which it did.

im not talking 2 part thing for this episode. I was talking for all other side-stories. For example we didnt see "why prince choose Katarina" or spesific stories. Yeah we saw Keith's some of the side stories but Bakarina has always 2 part of the story. Anyway, i just watched 9 episodes in one sit and read the 4 volumes in 2-3 days. So im not a big fan of series yet but still after watching many many animes, you get many wishes "ah, if they would do like that, it would be much much better" kind a :D

Ok, after volume 5, everything become more clear :D lets forget about "anime created new episodes" thing :D

Well, it takes work for anime to elevate the source material but I absolutely feel like it did so with episode 11. The whole sequence of her school life comes out better as well as the rather dark implications behind Acc-chan hunting for her and ending up as Sophia.

@hopebestman I think this was the best way to add it. In the book it feels more like an addendum but here it fits in the whole anime season.

I must say I am impressed by how the animated this. This is till now the second best adaption (of those I know of) of a LN. I like ti especially that they animated extra content which was not in the book (or only slightly mentioned). And best of all they seem to end it at a good point (if it is not a 2 cour anime).

I do have to say that the reveal of the connection between Sophia and Acc-chan is a whole lot less subtle in the anime than I remember it being in the LN.

It was. The light novel dropped a few clues, but none of them were obvious and it didn't come out and say it until the scene when she did the dream-dive to pull her out of the dark magic coma. The anime pretty much made it obvious from the time Katarina watched her run up the stairs to get a book a couple episodes from the beginning.

@pcj Wasn't it also mentioned in the books that her gait looked familiar? And I recall an early part in the second book where Katharina also mentioned something how similar both are. But I can be wrong as quite some time has gone by as I read those parts.
