@Justaidan the author of the light novel did say something intresting though about the anime. She wanted to give a name to one of the orphans. But the name she choose is a name for a charicture that shows up way later, The end of part 3 I think, so it got rejected.
So that basicly means absolutely nothing but it could point out that there is or was the intention for more seasons past this.

@Walksauce We've no idea unfortunately.
LNs are easy enough to make, especially if they start as low cost WNs, but anime are expensive, require studios and there are a some very big hurdles to another season.
Plus animation studios tend to be booked out for years in advance so shows with sudden popularity take ages to get another season because there is no space. Attack on Titan was one such show (I think).
But, hey, the LN isn't going anywhere :)

@Justaidan
26 not 24. -
Is there even a "most popular part of the LN"? It's to my understanding that there is no like, "most popular" part, and that like, people are just liking it more each time a new volume comes out more or less. Part 5 is the only one that would be out of the running since only 1 volume is out for it.

@Quof I believe that it spiked in popularity in japan around part 4. I think That's likely the part they are refering to.

It spiked in part 3/4 for popularity. That's what I'm referring to. It's not to which is more popular, but which part spiked it's population in Japan initially.

@Heldawn Oh, that's fair then.

@Walksauce Myne's cheeks will get more abuse, I'm just wondering if we will get to see it.

After watching the last episode a few times I thought it was enjoyable that the meeting had Ferdinand showing a subtle Solomon like quality.

I suspect the anime is leaving out things from the novel on purpose. If you go on Crunchyroll and read the comments there's quite often people in there going "they left out X from the novel" or "this was explained so much better in the novel". And to be fair, even with that stuff left out, the anime is amazing. What better advertisement is there for the light novel if the anime is so amazing and everyone in the comments says the novel is better?

It is my hope more seasons will come after season 2 ends. As a lot of anime that has come out hasn't been all that interesting. There are only two anime this season I've even bothering to watch. It isn't like I haven't watch some others, there just the same old, same old all the time. The stories just don't interest me. This anime is one of them that does.
I believe there is a good chance too, still because it is about the spike of popularity for the LN not the most most popular volume. You'd think showing the anime to wear the popularity spiked for the LN would lead to another spike in the LN's popularity especially if that's where the end it. Ending it now would be premature. Though cost of production probably has a lot to do with.
But with how many anime I see coming out every season, I'm amazed by the sheer volume, but in the end it is quantity in my opinion that we are getting and not quality. This quantity thing needs to die a harsh death, because I want something good to watch like this anime. So if it turns out this one doesn't continue, then I hope we get something good for once to replace it, like it was.

I'm just hoping that either this season or next we see some Johann, because we need my boy Johann.

@pcj The anime introduced me to the light novel which introduced me to j-novel club.

Cover your mouth when using the secret-talking magic items. This prevents evesdroping by lip reading, and even more importantly, saves budget on animating speech.
I was laughing my butt off this week thanks to this comment. Even though it would've made more sense to cover the mouth using the tool in their storyline discussion, it looks like the animators took your comment personally and went on the opposite direction. (If that is so, thanks for the hard work animators!)

In the anime it seems like they pronounce the instrument like “fespiel,” did Quof ever explain why he chose harspiel?

@zwabbit
Could talk about how the anime just changed Wilma's almost rape into actual rape. -
@BunnyFuFu One would hope that puts paid to any notion of the author caring about pandering to people's sensitivities.

Could talk about how the anime just changed Wilma's almost rape into actual rape.That did kind of surprise me, as did the switching of the general term flowers to the singular flower in the sub. That went dark fast. Enough about the anime.
Maybe Wilma will be one of the next POVs in the book. The changes in the orphanage have undoubtedly been dramatic.
Sheesh, try to save somebody some effort and get moved anyway.😕

@Quof said in Bookworm Part 2 Vol. 4 Discussion!:
HAH! Take that, anime! Quof is right again!!! (There exist other terms that could have been used instead of shrine maiden, like abbess or something, but still. I'm actually pretty pleased by this revelation. I was even more justified than I thought, and I can use this as ammo in future priestess-related discussions. Nothing better than the text itself saying "oh they aren't priestesses")
Speaking of the anime, I've seen a couple people on other websites questioning the decision to turn fespiel into harspiel following the release of the latest episode. I figure you already had to explain this somewhere but my google searches didn't show anything; google seems to be awful at parsing this website.

Could talk about how the anime just changed Wilma's almost rape into actual rape.That is a Crunchyroll translation error. The voice was saying pretty much along the line of LN text.
It should be:
Rosina: "Wilma was tricked by a blue-robed priest and
forcedlured awayto offer her flower to him".
Myne: "Huh?"
Wilma: "Thankfully, nootherharm came to her..."
