      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.

            https://mobile.twitter.com/megatenhongo/status/1205121590242893824

            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.

                          So the episode 14.5 is up on Crunchyroll and they rolled with Eckhard for エックハルト which is close enough to quof's Eckehard but too bad it's not the same, and Eustachius for ユストクス which... has shocked me.

                            Interesting. Ferdinand pronounced ユストクス more like ユーストクス.

                              I have a horrible ear for these things but is the same true for how his name is pronounced in CD Drama 4? If you don't have it you can hear his name in the 5th preview of it on the official website.

                                  I have a question. IF that grey hair dude is really wants to met with Myne(strange girl do weird stuff) , why we didnt heard anything about him yet? Hmm? Hmm?

                                  :) Anyway :) the only problem i can find is Benno when he met with Tulli and Effa. He had to be all smile and nice before bussiness talking but i didnt sence that. Although i am not this anime's follower so im not quite sure but Benno is generaly serious but when dealing with strangers first time he has to be kind and smiling etc. Right?

                                  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.

                                        Well, they converted a flashback story into a sort of flash forward story, to give a peak into future characters.

                                        You should learn about the future character in the order that is presented in the main story, from Myne's point of view.

                                          BTW, I love those near misses with those investigator and Myne. That was cute, and those are anime additions which were not in the original side story. Man, that bread Myne was carrying was HUGE.

                                            Hmm. The group portrait at the end of the intro is rather interesting if you look for the Rinsham users by the highlights in their hair. In particular, it looks like Ferdinand is using it.

                                            Morning and Mourning sound alike for good and sufficient reasons.
