@lurkingmclurk Really looking forward to seeing
Oddly the first OVA is a spoiler to the english LN readers but it will probably be similar to the short stories that were written for the end of arc 1 that give a general state of play of all the main characters, set the stakes for arc 2 and give characters like Gunther's view on Myne.
For anime only watchers I would really recommend those short stories. Honestly all the side stories from other characters' perspectives are excellent and really drive home that each character has their own goals, opinions and aspirations.

Man, those japanese have no mercy towards anime-only fans.
Already spoiling "trombe fruits" in 1st BD box.
I don't remember if we ever saw this room in anime. Maybe it's from the second half?
Have HP finally cleaned his mess of a room?
(Why don't images load when you open spoiler? Because of that I'm forced to insert them as previews with a link.)

The forums do not let you put an image in a spoiler box, it just doesn't work.
I recommend putting a link to the image in a spoiler box

@rahul-balaggan yeah, I changed it to preview inside a link to full size.

@alexusman I suspect that second image isn't anywhere in the series. The bench reminds me of the merchant guild building, but the desk wouldn't belong there. The amount of clutter reminds me of the magical room for Ferdinand, along with the balances and other material. But I don't remember reading anywhere about that room having a window, so that's out as well. Suspect it's just a generic cluttered room that the artist labeled for AoaB since it's currently popular.
Morning and Mourning sound alike for good and sufficient reasons.

““E-Excuse me.” The moment I went inside and the door shut, a window appeared in the once-dark room and allowed a bright stream of light to pour inside. It was very sudden, as shutters had been opened very quickly.”

@lurkingmclurk Ah. So I see.
::
And just reread a bit of P2V1 and found Myne's first entry into the room there. And yes, windows are mentioned. Along with a black and white drawing of Myne sitting on the bench with a window to her right. Although the window style is different. The drawing in P2V1 has many small panes of glass with more muntins separating them than the drawing linked by @alexusman or in the manga linked by you.

The 2nd image isn't a spoiler it's the first room in the anime, Myne lies down on the sofa on the right and (spoilers I suppose but easily guessed with little to no impact on the story)
-
@justaidan I know, that's what I said.
We don't see it in full, only some parts if it. I guess they've already filmed the second half by the time this booklet was made. Or all backgrounds were made already.And the spoiler is the first picture.

@alexusman
The second image is not a spoiler. The very first shot of the anime is a slow pan over the left side of this room, and the second shot is the far right corner (with Myne on the seat.)This image gives some context to those two shots. Thank you.

I've just noticed: in the opening scene of episode 1, the Head Priest (blue haired guy, High Priest in LN translation) has been shampooing his hair. I just checked that his hair is normal in episode 14 (which chronologically is earlier.)
-
@libri-liberorum nice catch. I can just imagine the animators doing the equivalent of yelling "Hey Joe, is Ferdinand using shampoo by this scene?"
-
@alexusman
Myne called it, the lecture room
-
@libri-liberorum where did you get the idea it's a spoiler?
-
@libri-liberorum As @jcochran said very nice catch. Wait do Benno, Effa etc start doing their hair too at some point?

The connection between tau fruit and trombe tree, and its big scary form is not known until Part 2, so spoiler for anime only people.

I wonder if that is some kind of joke of the animation team. There is definitely no mention of High Priest using the shampoo in the LN up to the end of P2-V2 where that takes place. It would be really interesting to see if they really change his hair in the middle of part 2 in anime.

Effa was immediately using it the first day Myne started using it, so she is always shiny since. I had no recollection of Benno talking about using the shampoo, so looked at the anime and noticed that he is shiny starting on episode 10, when they were talking about the issue with the new shampoo workshop. I'm pretty impressed that Lutz, was only shiny when Myne washed him for meeting with Otto/Benno. That would change in Part 2 when he start working in the store.

@hiroto So magical window. :-)
