So, dub version has completed today. Has anybody been watching it?
-
@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.

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 Trailer is blocked in my region. Any summaries?

@unsynchedcheese
Is this one better?

@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".

@unsynchedcheese
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 -
@hopebestman
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?
- The promo just shows content from the first 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.
-
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.

In the promo you can see who out of the new group is using the shampoo.

@Philip-h5 I've already given my comments on how good I found the Bookworm dub to be. You generalizing and saying dubs aren't given much thought to their production without having even seen this one is not relevant to the conversation. I don't want this to become another subs vs dubs argument which has been debated to death for decades, so please keep it Bookworm related.
-
This series looks as though a lot of people will have long term emotional investment in it. I'm excited to see how big it will get.

I love this little detail in the anime, being used absolutely consistently.

Oh damn, you are right... didn't catch that on first viewing. That's some legit thought on their part in animating it that way.
Well I'm ready for the new season. I've missed their derpy little faces.
