I mentioned before but the list of episodes only goes to the end of Part 1. If it dips into Part 2 there's more episodes than have been announced.
-
@hiroto Are you talking about their headbands doing some weird magic together? Yea I didn't recognize that at all.
-
might be some fast forward anime only end?
-
@smashman42 The scene in question would be a good dramatic hook to end the anime on, but the events leading up to it are so complicated/important that it would be pretty poor of them to just skip ahead to it and show it out of context. Not to mention that it's by no means a small scene. Maybe they're going to divorce it from context and force it to happen early.

Wow, I didn't know that crunchyroll is in Germany too and this will be translated in German too! Since vocabulary in Honzuki is heavily German inspired, this would be awesome!
EDIT
And French too!
Crunchyroll is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German ,Arabic, Italian, Russian. Not obvious if it will be simulcast in any other languages or not.
EDIT
Portuguese (Brazil), Italian, Russian. Couldn't find Arabic and Spanish.

@hiroto Yep they announced last month that they will stream worldwide minus Asia. Now hoping it’ll be popular enough that CR will invest in giving it dubs, though they still haven’t given dubs for Gabriel Dropout, Place Further than the Universe, or Laid-Back Camp, and those were very popular.

Glad to hear Crunchyroll got it. Looks like there is an opening out now too https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2019-09-10/ascendance-of-a-bookworm-anime-video-previews-opening-song/.150935
I agree the character designs are a bit different from the illustrations, but I suspect this was done to simplify production and make it easier on the drawing staff :) You can't have keyframers taking several hours per frame and expect to get a return on your investment and I'd like to see them be successful with the enjoyable story I've seen in the LNs so far. This is definitely one of my favorites to follow these days, so thanks to the LN translators and everyone working on it here at JNC for your hard work! -
Pretty weird. On her status update on syosetu.com, author mentioned that she heard that anime will be broadcasted in Taiwan too. So I commented that it will be simulcasted in US too via Crunchyroll. The way she referred to my information in the subsequent status update, she sounded like she didn't know anything about it. Since she is very closely connected to the anime production, I find it odd that she is completely oblivious of what Crunchyroll is doing.
-
I imagine they might be doing something like a split-cour or a pre-planned 2nd season? Might split up the anime in the same way the books and manga are, with everything after Episdoe 14 being in a "Part 2" season.
-
@tusf this is a relatively small animation studio that does barely 1 anime show a year, 14 episodes is probably their limit for now. If it causes a surge in merch and books sales, and possibly Dvd sales, then they may plan for another season. But all we’ve heard so far is this one season, with no current word on anything after.

What I'd read from comments for the released preview of the opening song, it references events & people beyond a possible 14-episode run (disclaimer, haven't read this work yet...).

New OP song music video - 諸星すみれ「真っ白」ミュージックビデオ（Short Ver.）

@hiroto Ooooh, good song.

So it turns out, Volume 20 of the LN came bundled with the first episode of the anime (tho I haven't been able to get it due to the only rip having no active seeders), and from what I'm told…

@tusf by "volume 20", which part/volume? Amazon.co.jp doesn't list them as a continuous series... and they only seem to be pushing the kindle editions...
Although I probably would be better off waiting until the whole thing comes out on Bluray in the US.

if they really are going the how we got here tactic I have to question why, these books are stupid long, why are you wasting time on that.
-
@lurkingmclurk Thanks - I found the right one, but I can't seem to get Amazon to show the limited edition. I'd rather avoid opening another account with another vendor.
