Continued from: Interesting details you've noticed when rereading:
And to be clear I don't mean to hate on the show by any means; it's what first introduced me to the series and I only started reading after it was done airing and I was hungry for more. Adapting that scene is no easy task especially when you're condensing it into, what five minutes? They got the essential bits covered that were absolutely needed including a bit of Myne's desperation at missing her mom (though via very different means). I was just shocked after reading the LNs to learn that the post mind-reading hug had basically the opposite premise: Myne did it to relieve Ferdinand of his mental exhaustion and he basically accepted it whereas in the show she did it for herself and he initially pushed her off.
That moment of vulnerability on his part is so profoundly important.

@sleepytexan considering the anime is based on the light novel and not the manga it seems a good timing since the eng releases are further than the S3 will be
-
@ephidiel yep, but anime for the most part is a commercial for the manga/LNs and they typically try to plan things around the manga since they sell significantly more copies compared to light novels which are still a bit niche.
I've finally watched the anime dubbed and while I liked some of the main choices I gotta give the subbed version the win for the overall performance.
My sister has now watched the anime at least 9 times and who knows how many times to sleep.
I really do hope the upcoming season has a better budget but at the very least I hope it's not worse than what we got. -
So far I like Anime adaptation. Some things are condensed and some skipped but that is to be expected. It did not rush things. While at later episodes animation was not the best (e.g. knigh fights) I do not mind that. I preffer good story over animation. My favorite anime is 12 Kingdoms and animation there is rly awful but story is superb.

@sleepytexan Anime used to be a commercial for Manga, when you check anime schedules you can clearly see that shifted towards Light Novels in the recent years.
It is mostly LNs now and only a few Originals or Manga Adaptions each season -
New PV up on YouTube now with added "Brother Syl", including a lovable short post-credits sequence.

would not have said lovable, but am intrigued by what looks like Myne riding on a pegasus highbeast in combat. 8-)

@arghc, how can Myne chirping"pooey" not be lovable?
After reading something captivating, book lovers simply need to talk about it with someone.

Being stabbed in the cheek until she says something goofy? 8-(

Please remember that not everyone watching the anime has read the books, so please do not spoil anything beyond what the anime has already covered.

Frickin' Brother Syl. That voice suits him to a T. "C'mon. Say pooey." This guy. THIS. GUY.
Can't wait to see him in action.

I just saw an announcement that the next season will be released in April 2022.
Not a big surprise, but it's nice that it's official.

Oh, same here. :-)
Actually, my parents (aged 87 and 77) tell me they are looking forward to it, too, though they don't have much interest in anime otherwise. The show seems to have remarkably broad appeal.
