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.

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.
-
@db0ssman There actually is a new episode, but of the English dub :)
It’s actually really good btw, I recommend it. -
@xdrfiredogx Not sure if it's a fib. Although not yet revealed in the anime timeline,
Ferdinand is aware that Myne has a stupid amount of mana. The conversation about that, and the getting of permission to give Myne blue robes would probably have come under the "Give her whatever she wants, just get her in the temple because we need her mana." type of approval. -
I'm just sitting here crossing my fingers that we get a surprise announcement that season 3 of the anime gets announced for fall 2020/winter 2021... with the news that they're planning on doing a full run of the series. Yes, it's less likely than the possibility for me to happen upon a genie in a lamp, but I can say that if I did come across one, that's like wish #2 on the list.

- Myne get baptised, has minor incident, discovers small library and asks to join temple.
- Gunther blows up. Myne goes to temple to retract offer to join. Temple discovers she has the devouring. Sends "invitation" to parents.
- Strategy meeting with Benno. Summary given to parents. Go to temple. Crush Bishop. Negotiate with priest. All terms accepted.
Now, at what time did anything involving the archduke happen? Issuing Myne blue robes was never under consideration until the negotiation in #3 above.

Actually, it was. This scene didn't make it into the anime, but in the beginning of P2V1, Ferdinand tells the High Bishop (or High Priest in anime-translation) that Myne would be receiving blue robes "as they discussed before."
It seems like the bishop might have been totally happy to give her blue robes if she were a wealthy commoner - I'd guess that it's because the alternative, having a gray shrine maiden (/ priestess in the anime) offer up mana, also had no precedent.
