      @paul-nebeling The trick is to expect that they will, that way they can't disappoint you too much.

        @paul-nebeling Crunchyroll usually records at Bang Zoom, which is one of the best studios, imo. I think it’s in good hands. Of course names will probably be pronounced differently, like “Tuuri.”

          Forgot to mention that around the time anime came out, TO Books made this free Bookworm Magazine as promotional material including anime information, sample chapter from manga and LN, bunch of promotional information and gave out for free at book stores. It became available in Kindle store too and you can download free outside of Japan too.

          You may not be able to read it, but hey, its free.

              maybe a translation (minus the sample chapters- which would be redundant) as premium content (premium edition of LN/ebook added content) would be cool?

              I read banned books

                It appears there is some sort of... collaboration? Between Bookworm and Orphen anime? Don't know how that would work, or what would come out of this.

                  @legitpancake It's apparently a commercial. Crunchyroll has a short writeup on it.

                    Thanks for the tip.

                    I'm in the UK it says it is not available. I have to use https://www.amazon.co.uk/本好きの下剋上MAGAZINE-Japanese-香月美夜-ebook/dp/B07YZ6GSVK for it to work.

                    Stay shiny, y'all.

                      @shiny Odd, it was available for me in Spain. I can't remember if I have my location faked in Amazon.com, though.

                        It is locally available too.

                        TO Books is a rare Japanese publisher who distribute their e-books worldwide.

                        I didn't know people here are so distributed.

                          Collaboration in Manga is pretty common. Two manga artists gets together and write a piece mixing characters from two totally different manga, but I don't know if it has been done for anime before. I couldn't find one with a quick search.

                          For manga, usually it is just an one off thing, so I assume they'll come up with the single episode merging two stories and characters.

                            @hiroto Anime collabs are also common enough. Off the top of my head I can't really think of any recent ones, but one that does come to mind is an official uniform swap picture between Kiniro Mosaic and Yuyushiki with the anime designs.

                              Well, looks like episode 10 of the anime ended at the exact same point as volume 2 of the light novel. Which would be expected since if the producers ignored that cliffhanger potential, they would have been criminally negligent. In any case, a very enjoyable episode.

                              Morning and Mourning sound alike for good and sufficient reasons.

                                Crunchyroll also released the first episode with an English dub! I just watched it and thought it was very good.

                                    Came across this lengthy video review of the anime, by an youtuber with 924k subscriber. Hopefully this will translate to some book sales.

                                      @hiroto Considering that the first three volumes of Bookworm made up the Bookwalker weekly top 3 last week, I'd say it's working.

                                            Also I believe their twitter feed also says that episode 13 and 14 will air back to back.

                                            Some what spoiler below
