      @LegitPancake Both "seasons" where originally requested together so there wasn't actually a second season green lit by those making the decisions on what gets made. It was one 24 episode season. In contrast something like Konosuba or Re:Zero both had/have 2nd seasons.

          @dawnmm Yep. While I don't think it will be as good as the books just due to time constraints it is great to watch it from outside Myne's perspective. The standout moments are obviously things like seeing how Myne presented herself when Crushing the High Bishop and how surreal/otherworldly Myne appears when questioning Lutz about when does he think she replaced the original Myne.

            @LegitPancake I actually liked the series a lot from episode 2 on. I thought the 1st episode very slow but I liked how it picked up

                @hiroto so I see it's a heart warming slice of life tale of a little girl suffering from a rare sickness called beriberi. Should be fun to watch.

                Morning and Mourning sound alike for good and sufficient reasons.

                  Second season OP song is posted.

                  BTW, @Rahul-Balaggan, do we continue on with this topic, or maybe we should start 2nd season topic separately?

                    @hiroto continue here, unless anyone out there can think of a good enough reason that S2 needs a new topic.

                      Here is an interesting challenge. What scene could this be within the context of P2V1 - P2V2? This is from a teaser video for S2.

                      EDIT: Only time I can think of Myne getting this mad is when the book room was messed up. But in this scene, Myne is definitely sitting, and doesn't fit that situation. Seems to be more like being mad at somebody she is talking with, but honestly I cannot recollect such occurrence in P2V1/P2V2.

                        @hiroto the note passing from Benno to Myne during the meeting with HP donating 5 small gold.

                            Good candidate, but it was more of Myne's internal anger, not visible like this. In anime, I expect that scene to be depicted with chibi Myne.

                              She was kind of sad, and it was not depicted as being outright angry like this.

                              “It seemed that the High Priest knew all along that I had actually been hoping that he would show them to me.
                              “High Priiiest...”
                              “My answer will not change. Return to your chambers at once,” he ordered with an ice-cold glare. I slumped my shoulders and left the room.
                              ...Tch. I wanted to see those magic documents. The High Priest’s just a big meanie.”

                                I think it works given the manga (which is still free): https://seiga.nicovideo.jp/watch/mg353542?track=ct_episode

                                  Possible. One argument I have against this theory is the location. Myne's background seems like a window relatively close, and doesn't looks like normal temple room, like HP's or BP's chamber. It looks like Ferdinand's hidden room or Benno's office. And it cannot be Benno's because Myne is wearing blue robe. So it is highly likely to be hidden room.

                                  @b-scot-morgan's theory is more likely in that regard.

                                    @hiroto part of the reason for my guess is the scene shown immediately after the image you show. It has the limp Myne being carried by Fran. Assuming those clips are in chronological order....

                                    Morning and Mourning sound alike for good and sufficient reasons.

                                      @jcochran Except for the fact that BOTH scenes are after the scene in that clip where Myne turns a tau fruit into a Trombe during the starbinding ceremony. I think the lecture room is more likely, as @LurkingMcLurk says.

                                        There was some explicit cheekpuffing in the carriage a bit before that. White-and-gold background fits but idk about wood.

                                        @b-scot-morgan's theory is more likely in that regard.

                                        Secret room's window (LN insert and first shot in that PV) doesn't look like this. And most if not all of shots are from Volume 1.

                                          From Kazuki's status report.

                                          Harspiel, imaginary instrument in this world is based on Ukrainian instrument Bandura. In anime, music of Harspiel is actually played on Bandura by an Ukranian musician Nataliya Gudziy, who lives in Japan.

                                          She posted her Myne cosplay for the occasion.

                                            After watching the latest episode of the anime, it finally occurred to me what Myne's highbeast is likely to be.
