      @pcj Like @db0ssman, I think that will be what they end with. It is foreshadowed in the opening credits and neatly

        @LIbri-Liberorum I don't think they could hold off until the end of the season to do that because from what I understand season 2 is supposed to run until the end of part 2 and event in question is a pretty big catalyst for all the events that come after it. Moving it earlier makes sense to speed up ratcheting up the stakes, but moving it to the end would kind of make some of the things that happen make less sense. They might do something like a shorter version in an episode and then have an extended version in one of the between-season filler episodes like they had with season 1.

          There's only one episode left in season 2 (according to the various anime databases). I don't think they're going beyond P2V2.

            @pcj Oh, I thought that it was supposed to be longer than S1, not shorter. I guess then that is why it feels like they couldn't possibly get everything in, because they aren't.

              @db0ssman It's all 1 season of 27 episodes (if you count the ova) split into two parts. It was commissioned and animated all at once.
              And we would have seen character art for Sylvester by now if it were getting into P2V3. We have no idea yet if there are any plans to continue after next week's final episode.

                  Oh, dear. These make me think that we're not going to get anything from Ferdinand's foray into Myne's mind. And that would be a tragedy. It was easily one of my favorite parts of Part 2.

                    @OSRizzo that was my fear, too. :-(

                    That is the one scene I was most looking forward to seeing animated, too.

                      My favourite chapter in the book too. After seeing these pictures I am actually hopeful that we will see nothing of that at all. Instead I hope it will be its own whole OVA episode. The chapter sure would deserve a whole episode dedicated to it.

                        @Tube I wholly support this idea.

                          TBH the scene I've been looking forward to most is the ritual scene.

                            Regarding how the this episode was a lot less action packed than I'd have expected from the book - probably the weirdest thing to me was how little Myne tried to struggle.

                              Apparently the second BD box set (ep 15-26) just released in Japan. https://twitter.com/anime_booklove/status/1273057773887127553

                                The last episode went about how I thought it would, but knowing all the stuff that happens next makes it a lot more bitter-sweet than I think it was meant to be.

                                  Just seen the last episode... in the end, that phrase: "the story continues..." means I am allowed to hope for s3? I would love it so much!

                                  I don't know if I'm satisfied with the episode or not...I was mildly disappointed, but I still enjoyed it. Mixed bitter-sweet feelings but still satisfied... and greedy for more. Hype-hype \o/

                                  ... For PONY!

                                    Yeah, I've said this before and I'll say it again, if your biggest complaint about something is that you wish there was more of it, that means it is doing a good job.

                                      @db0ssman Honestly, I preferred reading the part, but I'm ok-ish with the compromises made.

                                      And ofc I do want more...I'm addicted- on a noticeably unhealthy level to this series + LN. The first episode got me interested in the novel, and than...you see...I ended up here, commenting, discussing etc.etc.

                                          Same here. This is one of the very few series that I not only read (and watch) weekly, but actually keep up with the on going discussion in the forums daily.

                                          As for the episode, I'm glad with how it turned out (though the book was way better), I do wish that we'd have gotten a bit more with Ferdinand seeing modern Japan.

                                            Yeah, that would've been nice. To see/hear the shock in his voice :D would've been a treat :D and I'd love to see the aftermath a bit more expanded...so I'm hoping for an s3. This deserves to be animated all the way.
