Ascendance of a Bookworm - anime discussion
-
At the beginning of Ep 20, when everyone is lined up waiting for Georgine, the front row is the ducal family. Then behind them they each have a guard knight --- except for Rozemyne, who has four guard knights. What is with that?
Georgine's departure takes us to the end of P3V4, so the remaining episodes (four?) need to cover all of volume 5. The major plot beats:
40% of the volume is the side stories (although Bonifatius's part in the fight will be merged into the main timeline in the anime). The volume gets four episodes, so this should be almost two episodes of stuff-which-happens-while-Rozemyne-is-asleep. I'm boldly predicting that some of this will get an OAV or two instead. Whether in the main series or an OAV, I particularly don't want to miss out on Myne's family reacting to the news, and Charlotte trying to fill in for Rozemyne.
Episode 22 will probably end with the start of the attack. Episode 23 will be the big action episode, ending at an appropriate cliffhanger point. (There are many options: Rozemyne starts to pursue Charlotte's kidnappers, Charlotte falls, Rozemyne gets webbed, R gets poisoned, Bonifatius extracts R from a bag, R gets diagnosed, R put into Jureve, R starts to wake from jureve dream.) Then episode 24 will cover anything in that list that episode 23 didn't, some of the while-she-was-asleep events, plus her awakening. The interrogation of Joisontak and Gerlach and the conclusion to Daumel/Brigitte in particular I think need to be covered in the main series. I think I'd put everything else into two OAVs, given the chance.
