Ascendance of a Bookworm - anime discussion

I felt the toad fight was lacking. They need to have a consulting director who normally does shonen battle anime to call in for the occasional action sequences. (This one was worse than the Lord of Winter fight, but better than the trombe fight. But even the LoW fight was lacking pizzaz.)
The discussion with Eckhardt at the end speaks to a point I've made before: if the story was told with Ferdinand as the main character, Myne totally fills the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope for Ferdinand. Although he constantly complains, he really enjoys the chaos she brings into his life.

My anime-only spouse was pointing out how the current season of the anime is lacking the emotional resonance that the earlier seasons had. I pointed out that they are ripping through plot at warp speed such that it's a story told in bullet points unlike before. The episode to page count ratio is so much lower than would be preferable.

There seems to be a mistranslation. In the replenishment chamber, Syl gives a stone to Wilfried and tells him "pour mana into here", but he should be pulling mana out of the stone.

I loved the illustration at the end this time.
The replenishment hall was nice. But somehow I felt it was lacking. Maybe I am too influenced by witch hat atelier anime which was airing and wanted to see something more fantastic. -
This (ep 16) is the first episode of volume 4. So we have 8ish episodes left to finish volumes 4 and 5. This is way too rushed.

Well this episode was interesting...
Bonifatius appears,
The sequence of events was changed (the Platin company was named before presenting Brigitte's new dress).
The introduction of Stenluke.
And the discussions of the Tuuli situation. -
The lower city part was weird and abrupt. I don't think plantin company spinning off from gilberta upset Tuuli so much in the LN.
They also didn't focus on the difference in Lehenge and Leherl difference (of course the subtitles looked like it was MTL'd).The mana leaking out of rozemyne and Wilfried while replenishing seems like they are on fire. Again, a weird choice. Stenluke creation was funny and nicely done.
The end illustration of sparkly Ferdinand was so beautiful. I wonder if it is his rejuvenation potion in the spoon.

Probably his one true love.
