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/

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.
... For PONY!
-
@Opal I feel that story on a personal level...

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.

All the ends cards for the seires: https://imgur.com/a/j0AomKL

It was pretty shortened but not terrible. I almost thought they would go with real world video for the memory. It's hard seeing so much condensed into a different dialogue but of all the possibilities I'm satisfied enough. If ever I'm missing a character I'll be able to get my short fix of Gunther, Effa, Tulli, Benno, Mark, or anyone else from these episodes.
Later edit... I liked the wording for the prayer in the LN a lot. Very clean, poetic, and understandable to Myne hearts content. They showed her mana box, but she didn't open it fully?
-
Man who's cutting onions? Really loved the season conclusion, even if it skipped the bath scene hehe. Really great effort overall and really hoping we'll get a season 2 confirmed soon :)
-
I was looking forward a lot to
But I am happy they at least voiced her mom. Overall they did real good, and I'm looking forward to the heavily-implied next season to come.
-
Am I the only one that read "the story continues" as "the story continues elsewhere"? It feels really ambiguous as to weather or not it will continue. I feel like if they had plans to continue they would have said, to be continued. I really feel like we won't see any more.
-
@Walksauce I kinda took it as too ambiguous to be sure, like that, too. Without another announcement to back it up, it's safer to assume they're not doing anything else. But that doesn't stop me from looking forward to it if it might happen.
-
@Opal yes I was disappointed also about not seeing more of Japan plus in The books s he got to beat her mom's food I was hoping for a whole episode for the mindvtrip
-
I think there's going to be a season 2 Part 2. Otherwise known as season 3.Since season 2 was the 1st 2 books of the 4 books that make up part 2
-
Another hole that was left out of the anime was how much mana Myne actually had. It left out the fact that she has more mana then the arch-duke himself, and she is only a child. This also explains why it’s so important to determine if she’s a threat or not by going into her memories.
-
Having lost my own mom recently... even in abbreviated form her seeing her mom one last time was still a gut punch. So... I guess it was effective.
Even though it can't stand up to the LN's of course, the anime has its own special charm so I really do hope we end up getting more of it. Digging out volume sales to compare is just a pain but given that there are more than a few folks I've seen now that are here and joined to J-Novel because of this anime, I do have some cautious optimism about sales also going up elsewhere enough to encourage more anime.
-
@Segoth Somewhat intentional I think. Other than saying that the archduke had approved her getting blue robes - which is a fib I think, considering they agreed to it after her crushing, so any approval was after the fact - they have skirted around him a bit, including not pointing out that he was the one that approved the mind reading tool. Saving all of that for the next season I'm thinking!
-
@xdrfiredogx I'm another one who became a fan thanks to the anime. Wound up buying the books because the cliffhanger leading into episode 8 was a week off and like heck I was going to wait an entire week to find out what happened. I'm hoping there's going to be another season, but in the meantime I'm enjoying re-reading the LN (and eagerly awaiting the publishing of the end of Arc 2 this Tuesday).
-
Here's to looking towards a third season. That final card gives me some hope.
-
I just went to my Crunchyroll queue and there was no new Episode of Bookworm. Can I get and 'f' to pay respects.
