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.

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

Eckhardforエックハルトwhich is close enough to quof'sEckehardbut too bad it's not the same, andEustachiusforユストクスwhich... has shocked me. -

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.

At one point in subtitles of the OVA, in part 1, the craftsman praises Myne’s “shopping nous.” “Nous” is a pretty obscure word that I mainly associate with philosophy class, so I’m a bit baffled by this conversation.
Could somebody who knows Japanese tell me what he is talking about here?

He said:
大人顔負けの買い付けが出来る。
Literal translation would be something like:
She can conduct purchasing in a way to put adult to shame.
EDIT
The word 買い付け I translated to "purchasing" is specific merchant lingo which span the whole process of writing purchase order, specify what is being ordered, negotiate pricing, accept the good and pay the money. Usually in context of merchant purchasing something for retail sale.

@hiroto Thanks!

@Svent said in Bookworm Part 2 Vol. 3 Discussion!:
Translators or other staff,
Is the translation of the next series of bookworm books going to continue, as it looks like the next 5 books might become season 3 of bookworm next year, or is it too difficult to translate bookworm that fast?Do you have knowledge of a season 3? I asked on the anime forum, and was told that for a LN, even two seasons was exceptional, so a third season of Bookworm is not likely, and even if so, probably not soon.
