      @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.

        @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.

        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.

                I moved your post into the anime discussion, whether it will or will not happen is a spoiler to the Light Novel.

                Thank you for your cooperation.

                  @Garion Can't you just imagine the picture? All those winged horses, winged deer, griffons, the flying rabbit..

                  spoiler

                  The thought just came to me after that scene in the intro to the new season.

                    Here is an interesting challenge. What scene could this be within the context of P2V1 - P2V2?

                    Most likely the image is the first time Myne gets to go to the library and someone is complaining about no lunch.

                    When alternate realities collapse into one, beware the moving train tracks.

                      I bet that's her face when she is said by Benno to stay quiet during "Lutz future" talks.

                        So I'm bad with estimations and I haven't followed the developments with the anime. What's the likelihood the anime surpasses what JNC has translated? How many volumes does part 2 have anyway if we're at vol. 4/x? Is this 2nd season 2 cour?

                          Many of us here think this anime will only adapt half of Part 2 while J-Novel Club will finish Part 2 in mid May for members baring any delays, so the only way the anime overtakes is if there are major delays with translations and the anime rushes the hell out of Part 2. As far as we know from BD information it's only one cour.

                            I believe that "season 2" will only cover the first two volumes of the 2nd arc. Major reason is because the 1st and 2nd cours were ordered at the same time and the opening scene of the 1st episode looks to be a bookend with a matching bookend at the end of P2V2, framing the story shown between two matching bookends.

                            Also for that reason, season 2 ought to be a single cour.

                            Morning and Mourning sound alike for good and sufficient reasons.

                              I liked how they spent about half of episode 15 covering side-story chapters instead of just rushing full speed into the Part 2 material.

                                @LurkingMcLurk Yeah I was concerned the anime was going to cut a lot of material like the pound cake tasting ceremony and the negotiations between the High Priest and Mynes family, but the way the episode was scripted, it was almost a recap episode without actually being a recap episode. I would have preferred they showed the High Priest negotiating with the High Bishop about Myne a bit more, as it stands it feels like a plot hole for the High Bishop to just take what happened last episode sitting down.

                                  The ending art Ferdinand and Myne. Myne looks like older in this art. Is this from one of the future volumes?

                                  spoiler

                                  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

                                    @hopebestman Not only does Myne look older, Ferdinand look (much) younger. This is a fan-pic, they've been doing different fan-pics at the end of each episode IIRC. Different artists use different styles.

                                      Should we perhaps have a separate forum for discussing the anime in the light of what is in the LNs, so that those of us who have read the LNs can discuss the anime without spoilers for those only watching? There is a risk, however, that this would suck all the life out of this forum, if 80% of the people here have read the LNs. I suggest keeping it out of the 'members only' section and therefore considering anything beyond the latest published LN as a spoiler.

                                        Better to have all the anime discussions in this topic, if users want to make comments on future events that will happen based on LN knowledge they can just use a spoiler tag.

                                        If users are commenting about LN be anime scenes there is no real need for a spoiler tag.

                                        Honestly seems like it will be confusing at this point to have 2 separate topics, one for people who read the LN and one for users who haven’t. Especially since we didn’t do that from the start of Season 1.

                                        Of course if it becomes an issue and users really want it we can come back to your idea.

                                        Sorry but J-Novel Club does not publicly comment on any potential licensing decision or acquisitions.

                                          Some, yes. Many is more questionable.

                                          It depends on how much weight you put into the idea that more would only come if they thought they could sell more books. That's a big part of what makes production committees work but not the only factor.

                                          For now I'm just happy that their derpy little faces are back again. And amused that the new episode makes the advice to ignore the shorts hard to adhere to.

                                            I don't mean that we won't get a third cour in the future, what I'm saying is that in 11 weeks we should have only finished half of Part 2.
