@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.

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.

@LurkingMcLurk Not Justox?

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?
-
@hopebestman Forget you saw him, and just wait for Part 3.
-
@hiroto :D that ova is a side story in part 3 i know that but still even as a flashback , we saw him now. and if he is Ferdinand's attendent , why we didnt met him yet :) questions , questions.

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.

How likely is a third series of Bookworm? Are there publicly available viewership numbers which could guide us on this question?
Various posters have speculated (to my mind convincingly) that series 2 will be volumes 4, 5 of the light novel, i.e. half of the apprentice priestess arc. Does this increase the chance of a third series? (Because a third series would presumably come to a neater stopping point than the second series will have.)
If there is a third series, when might we know? I'm guessing that if they follow a pattern of one season on, one season off (i.e. series 3 starting in a bit over 6 months from now) that they'd already need to be pretty much committed to it, with an airtime slot booked and funding secured.

@LIbri-Liberorum The number of light novel adaptations that get more than two seasons are few and far between. Heck, more than just one season, or if the first season is double cour, are often miracles. Late night anime rarely get much benefit from ratings (expect apparently the recent Arifureta), so their primary purpose is to sell disks or books. If the production committee determines the investment in the anime was worth it, they may commission another season, which can take quite some time. I wouldn't expect another season until mid 2021 at the earliest, in my opinion.
