Cutting away all the short story chapters would make 10 episodes make some sense. Maybe they just have no plans to continue the anime ever, so they think that they do not need any tie-ins for the next season. If they just want people to go and read the books it makes sense. However, if they are publishing this season to try to sell more part 3 manga, I feel like that short story content would be rather important to tie things together better. I hope there's some way that the 10 episodes make sense, because as it is, I find it hard to see how so few episode would be able to deliver everything that is necessary. Maybe we are missing a piece of the puzzle or something.
Anyway, Bookworm getting the third season is already a small miracle, so let's be happy with it. Since a full adoptation was never realistic, they've gotta end it somewhere, and I feel like end of part 2 is a rather good place to call it quits.

Especially if they want to keep the anime kid friendly (for lack of a better phrase) and not get bogged down with politics and such. I just hope the anime is left in a good place whenever it does end and not like Yona of the Dawn anime (on a cliffhanger with no word on a new season for years)

Did we just get a brief glimpse of Heidi and Josef? I think we did...
My grasp on sanity remains absolute.
Oh, right, the poison, the poison for Kuzco, the poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco, Kuzco's poison. ...That poison?

Release date for season 3 announced as 11 April. Subs usually come out at the same time. Dubs are highly variable.
-
Episodes will air in Japan at around 17:30 GMT, Crunchyroll airing times still TBC but subs should be available at 18:00 GMT.
-
Here's a video with Myne's VA using a Gutenberg press reproduction. The channel has many other videos with her at the Japan printing museum; they even had a chained book she was able to touch! Even without subs it is interesting to watch them.

These were way cool, even to those like myself who understand hardly a word of Japanese.
Context helps loads, and even without an understanding of most of the words, the changes in tone and 'body language' convey a lot...
They were very good presenters.Thank you for sharing the link!
Oh.
It should be noted that a number of the related videos are on limited duration access.
They've been put up to help drum up interest in Season 3, and will be taken down at that point.
This apparently includes stuff that had been done on NicoNico some time in the past; they reposted them on YouTube as part of this.
Including one session with two of the VAs where Miya Kazuki takes part remotely; the image is a portrait of Myne placed at the table, but you hear Kazuki-sensei speaking.
So you want to view them now. -
Noticed last night that an "unofficial source" posted what they've labeled as episode 1 & 2 of season 3 on Youtube. I hope they're mislabelled because ep 1 is a recap of season 1 from Lutz's perspective and ep 2 is season 2 from Gil's. Wouldn't want recap edits to count against the season's episode numbers. 8-)
-
@arghc They're on Crunchyroll as E26.5 part 1 and part 2.

Hello,
This is a very casual reminder for anyone posting in this topic that it is the Anime discussion topic, and any future knowledge (past what has premiered in anime form) should be discussed briefly in spoiler tags.
I say briefly to avoid turning the anime discussion topic into a general discussion topic.
Thank you

The anime will be airing first in Japan on Yomiura TV at 2:40am JST (1:40pm EDT/7:40pm CEST) and later in the week on other TV channels.
Crunchyroll has posted an air time of 5:00pm EDT/11:00pm CEST. (which yes, means the anime is releasing at exactly the same time in North America and Europe as the pre-pub of the LN is) -
@pcj I was afraid that was going to be the case. Now I have a hard decision to make on which to do first.
Edit - apparently not, the anime is out now.
-
In the first summary episode (E26.5P1), Lutz narrates (according to the subtitles):
Learning about Main's secret made something fall into place deep inside of me. It may not have meant much to anyone else, but it was a big piece in the puzzle of my life.
This parallels Myne's narration in E8:
Lutz's words made everything fall into place deep inside of me. It may have only been a tiny piece, but it was the final piece of the puzzle that is my life here.
-
the episode appears to be out now!

The first episode was delayed in Japan anyway, it should have been at 2:29am JST, but as for the Crunchyroll timing it looks to me like it's 18:30 GMT, so 2:30pm EDT.
After reading something captivating, book lovers simply need to talk about it with someone.
