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..." -
@Philip-h5 Took the comment to mind by not animating Ferdinand and Myne playing scales on the harspiel though. Pretty much a minute of pans over the same static image.

@hiroto
I had a feeling that it was a translation issue. Thanks for the info. -
@BunnyFuFu
Crunchyroll
Rosina: Wilma was tricked by a blue-robed priest, and forced to offer her flower to him.
Main: Huh?
Rosina: Thankfully, no other harm came to her... But she has been afraid of men ever since.Muse Asia
Rosina: Previously, Vilma was deceived by a blue-robed priest, and dragged to a flower offering
Maine: Eh...
Rosina: Luckily, nothing happened, but... Since then, she's been afraid of men...J-Novel Club Light Novel:
In the past, I was... I was once fooled by a blue priest and taken to a flower offering. My mistress Christine noticed my absence and arrived in time to rescue me, but ever since then I have been uneasy around men. -
@LurkingMcLurk
big difference in cause and effect, and also Rosina does not come off as a ... err well Rosina's tone is much better. -

Also... speaking of harspiel... the anime blatantly call it fespiel... now what?!
Just another example of how fiddling with German spelling will end up with different terms. Fespiel is closer to the Japanese spelling, but I believe the fe is from "harfe", the German word for harp, so I spelled it like a combination of "harp" and "spielen" (to play). I thought this would give a stronger mental image of it being a instrument and less like a random hodgepodge of letters. Of course, this isn't objectively the right choice, and fespiel is perfectly valid. Fespiel is probably the right choice in the anime since people can hear the sounds and everything. But in the LN I think it's more reasonable to fiddle with the spelling a bit for more natural sounding and understandable terms. (Same reason I didn't go with Dapula / Dalua / whatever for the apprentice names. Felt like they stuck out hard among the other terms, and were hard to get a clear grip on, so I went with more directly German inspired terms.)

I'm looking at the anime right now on Crunchyroll and it says harspiel. Maybe someone did a quick edit?
-
@LIbri-Liberorum I think they're saying the Voice Actors in the Anime said the word Fespiel while the subtitles wrote Harspiel.
This is definitely a foreshadowing of what's going to happen should they get to Rozemyne's name change at some stage.

Usually done as a cost saving exercise so they can put the animation budget elsewhere, which could mean we'll get an amazing scene in later episodes or it could just be them cutting costs where they can because the overall budget is pretty thin.

When Myne and Ferdinand talked in secret with the magical tool Ferdinands eyes where closed all the time.
Somehow, that was a little bit dissturbing, in my opinion...
