Have to agree that the promo feels like it clashes a bit too much. With some of the colouring it feels like the team doing the foregrounds didn't even talk with the people doing the backgrounds. The characters seem ok, but at some points in that video they just look strange.
-
@hiroto That's assuming we get that far in a single cour. I've got a feeling we won't. These volumes are very long. I'd hate to see another Ragnarok.
-
@paul-nebeling This first(?) cour will adapt part 1, the DVD/BD listings clued us in to that.
I think three volumes in one cour can be done well, and in any case we'll see the rainbow eyes as soon as Myne's clay tablets get stepped on.
-
@nosgoroth I'm more concerned about the length of those three volumes. I wouldn't consider three volumes a bridge too far unless they start leaving out huge chunks of story to make it fit, like was done with Smartphone's anime, or more currently, Arifureta's.
-
Is the anime going to be 12 episodes or more? If it's only 12, the content of the first 3 volumes is plenty enough to stop there imo.
-
@terabyte 14 episodes in total, from Dvd preorders.
-
@legitpancake Then yeah, I hope it won't go beyond volume 3. Bookworm's volumes are pretty long, and just the first 3 volumes alone are worth 4-5 "normal volumes". If they try to cram any more than that it's gonna end up a mess just like Arifureta or Ragnarok.
-
14 episodes for volumes 1-3 might not be a huge disaster. There certainly is a lot of exposition and things in Bookworm that make the volumes longer but would fly past quickly in the visuals in animated form.
-
Even with 3 volumes they'll have to cut out quite a bit I feel. I also wonder how they'll deal with inner monologues here since they're a big part of this series, in terms of giving us some insight as to what Myne is attempting to do
-
This was posted a couple weeks ago on the youtube channel of "Crunchyroll Collection" - Ascendance of a Bookworm | OFFICIAL TRAILER.
It doesn't say so explicitly, but is this pretty much their announcement that they will be streaming it?
-
@hiroto They already announced it back in August.
Whoever said nothing's impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.
-
Cool! Thanks. Somehow I missed it.
-
Lovely picture of Myne, Lutz and Tuule from the back cover of CD album containing OP song of the anime.
-
I'm really looking forward to this anime next season. This truly is a great story and definitely one that deserves an anime. I only hope that they do as good a job with the anime as they have with the light novel and especially the manga. The art work in the manga is outstanding given the fact that most chapters are pretty big as far as page count goes. So, yeah, really looking forward to this one!😃
-
New promotional video posted.
-
@hiroto The animation looks good. Looking forward to seeing it.
-
@hiroto said in Ascendance of a BookWorm gets TV anime:
New promotional video posted.
So, again, the PV finished with the scene from end of Part 2 Vol 2 which seems to confirm that cour 1 is likely to go as far as middle of Part 2 (hopefully not any further). Hopefully publishing of Vol 2 in November is ahead of the anime to reach that part of the story.
I wonder about next year (assuming they keep up annually). Would they go all the way to end of Part 3 Vol 5? We'll be at Part 3 Vol 2 in 9/2020, and get taken over by anime...
-
I mentioned before but the list of episodes only goes to the end of Part 1. If it dips into Part 2 there's more episodes than have been announced.
-
@hiroto Are you talking about their headbands doing some weird magic together? Yea I didn't recognize that at all.
-
might be some fast forward anime only end?
