      @hiroto Having a translation would be good indeed. But I'm more worried about BD that should be included with P5V1 book.
      I preordered it to get it for sure but lately japs adopted that shitty practice to give you a code for additional goods or even a code for a discount instead of including those goods with your shipment.
      That's a major problem for me because I have to use a proxy service.

          So, they announced streaming in Japan on the same day Part 5 Volume 1 is going on sale on 3/10 for premium streaming and 3/17 for everybody else. Would it be available on crunchyroll?

            I thought he is Eckhart but turns out he's Eckhalt. Does this name even exist these days?
            (or maybe that's just anime company's doing, if so it's worth nothing)

            I wonder if ユストクス stands for some weird name too.

              Ah Japan, it’d be great if you would consult with your English LN/manga translator before deciding on romanisations like this.
              Anyway hopefully if they ever use a romanisation of his name again they’ll use quof’s Eckehard instead of Eckhalt. The Japan side aren’t consistent with wether our beloved priest should be Ferdinando or Ferdinand.

                I wish they wouldn't do it at all.
                Also lol, why Eckehard? Why changing Ekkuharuto to Eckehard if it's a perfectly fine name already? Just for the sake of changing?
                What's the point of turning T into D and where did that E came from?

                    @hiroto I've seen every other episode up to 12 in dub, and plan to watch the last two soon. It's very good, in my opinion. It's unfortunate about the Tuuri, Eva, Head Priest stuff, but overall I think it's very well done. I especially like Myne's voice.

                        Well, that pretty much covered whole essence of Part 2 Vol 1 and Vol 2. I'm glad it didn't go any further.

                          Also CR confirmed the English dub will continue, and CR will get the two OVA episodes on March 9. https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2020/03/05/ascendance-of-a-bookworm-opens-the-book-on-part-2-in-new-promo

                                @LurkingMcLurk Works, thanks.

                                Definitely looks like Part 2 Volumes 1 and 2, as @hiroto said, yeah. Certain characters look a bit different (less "pop" from the background) than I expected, but I suppose I'll get used to it soon enough.

                                I wonder if eventually they'll just pile season upon season to continue the books, or if it'll end here with "go read the books for the resolution".

                                  I wouldn’t bet on it because the reason we’re getting this so fast is because both cours were commissioned at the same time, and a complete adaption is a huge undertaking, but if it has done well enough in its job as an advertisement anything is possible.

                                    It looks like it will also cover some stuff from the end of Part 1 Vol 3, based on the scene with Gunther drinking and the one with Freida and Elise.

                                    I hope you’re right about it not going further than Part 2 Vol 2. The promotional pictures that have reversi boards in them make me uneasy, though.

                                      They will use 4 books or just 2? Trailer showed almost fist 2 books. Im really confused. In some forums people say this trailer showed 9-10 eps out of 12 eps. If its true , i loved it but still scared. First season was 3 books which is part 1. So i thought this season will be 4 books which is part 2.

                                      8 parts, 8 weeks to read a book, than binge read the same book within' 2 hours again.

                                      Myne: Did we deceived him?
                                      Ferdinand: Indeed we did.
                                      Myne: *surprised myneface

                                        We don't know whether it'll cover two or four volumes but if they tried to adapt four in twelves episodes it'd be a mess, especially with them adapting stuff from P1V3 as the person above you pointed out. Personally, I think that if they were going to cover stuff into P2V3 then they'd have at least have shown somebody else in the picture at the end of the trailer like that did with Shikza and Damuel.

                                          @hopebestman Don't know if they'll use just 2 or all 4 books. But I think they'll just use the first 2. Reasons?

                                          1. The promo just shows content from the first 2.
                                          2. The opening scene for episode 1 of the first cour showed the ending scene for the second book. Suspect they did that to frame the story between two bookends.

                                          Morning and Mourning sound alike for good and sufficient reasons.

                                            This director's tweet about season 2 pretty much gives it away.

                                            When you watch it till THE END, you'll understand the meaning of the beginning of episode 1.

                                            Meaning that it will end with the Ferdinand's mind dive.
