Episode 23, this one felt like it was at warp speed and packed full of plotlines, along with over the top expressions. I wonder how many episodes are left.
Edit add: Is it just me or did her face go full froggy a few times?

@Philip-h5
Second BD boxset contains 15-26, so 3 more.

God her expressions in this one were just perfect. It's a good reminder that even though the anime is working on a very limited budget, it isn't a lack of skills or care that's at fault.
-
@xdrfiredogx yes they were extra cute, this episode might had different animators working on it
-
I thought that this weeks episode was quite funny. A lot more hilarious that any of the previous ones. And the fact that she baited the High Priest into going along with her whimsy was also quite the treat. I am really looking forward to the next episode. That one should be very interesting.

I'm not sure I'd call "getting the magic expert to weigh in on the placement of magic in the Ehrenfest Decimal System" whimsy. It's more along the lines of "solid collections organization planning".

She was baited through the whole episode, not the otter way around... It was obvious Ferds had no intention of letting Myne near the Magical Bewks!!!This said the sole advantage the anime has over the Light Novel is the images, those faces... so punchable (And let's not talk about the Mynetron 2000 Calculator device).

I agree (but not about the face punching).
In the LN when reading Myne’s perspective I didn’t get the same sense of her absolute freak out over wanting to read the magic books that the anime gives, but I have no doubt that the anime’s depiction is more “true to life” than what we hear from Myne herself. :-)

@b-scot-morgan I know right, I, for a Download Mizkate, had to see the episode with Lord Lutzanor's issues (the one with the Mynetron 2000) without sound...
afterwards I saw it with sound and the robot voice made it extra adorable!
-
I wonder if
-
Episode 24. Definitely has a different feel than the LN. Myne seemed stuck in an Abbott & Costello schtick from the noble gate onward which IMO took away from its full on fantasy value.
Seeing the knights order was cool. Funny how the wolf was behind the rabbit. Shic-cosa sounds like "sh-t causer" in a very Charles Dickens fashion. -
I spy with my little eye something begin with "E"
-
It's nice to finally have a face for the non-entities that are Shizuka and Ahno
-
So next episode to deal with the fight and what happens during the fight and then presumably the last episode to catch up to where the anime started with him reading her...
Shout out to the music in this episode for being really on point. The choral part when she got to the noble gate felt like it should have been from Yuki Kajiura and the music when the knights all took off was fittingly sweeping.

At what time do we give up hope of there being a third season? To put it another way, if there was to be a third season, what is the latest time they'd announce it?

@LIbri-Liberorum
Rather difficult question to answer. See this thread for why. -

I would give up on immediate third season (this fall) if P5V2 comes out on 6/10 this week without any associated announcement.
But I found it interesting that there was a very specific foreshadowing added in this episode which was not in LN and refer to something deep into Part 3. I hope that is an indication that script writers were working with assumption of continuting the anime.
-
Next episode will definitely be interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing the battle and the rolling fallout that come soon there after.

I don't know specifically what you are referring to, but I do notice little details that aren't specified in the LN. For example, Ferdinand gently tapping the head of the messenger bird and it responding, and also him stroking the mane of his highbeast. The LN gives zero indication of these beasts of burden being sentient. I'm guessing that is the sort of detail only someone familiar with the future of the story could include.
I'm curious how the next part will go and how it will be parsed out. I'm the LN Myne says very little externally, but a lot internally. Getting mad just thinking about it.

It was kinda obvious at this point but the title of the final episode is「夢の世界」which was the title of the Part 2 Volume 2 Epilogue in the WN (well in the WN it was a two parter).
