@angelus I'm pretty sure crunchyroll translators just get a copy of the script for the section they need to translate.
So I believe. I don't think they don't even get to see the visuals either, which can lead to all sorts of problems too.
Anyway, despite my negative comments I'm still grateful for Myneday.

If they didn't get to see the visuals, we wouldn't have "Main". They spelled her name "Myne" on episode 1, then changed it to "Main" in episode 2 because of the emulation of romaji on the slate.

I see that once again the studio fail to convey the sense of urgency and danger in dangerous situations. The trombe hunt last season was boring compared to the source material, and in this episode, Myne's near mana overload seemed to be treated in a "ho hum, no big deal" kind of way. From the direction to the animation to the voice acting, these scenes continue to fall flat.

The script is available weeks before the episode drops, the visuals are sometimes completed rather later. In the case you point out, maybe the studio got to see the CR translation of EP1. The studio always calls the shots, if they say it's "Main" because to a Japanese person that more likely reads as "My-een" rather than as "May-n" then "Main" it is. At least we are in a much better position here because Quof has a channel of communication with the author.
After reading something captivating, book lovers simply need to talk about it with someone.

Well, that and I assume that the katakana for Myne is マイン which when put into romanji is literally Main.

@angelus Back in the days of season 1, Crunchyroll typically wasn't getting the script for most anime until the day of, sometimes even not until after it aired in Japan. Studios were paranoid about the streaming sites leaking it before it aired in Japan, and it took them a long time to earn enough trust to get the materials in advance.

Shikza's execution is revealed in the most recent episode. When this happened in the LN, it was a huge shock for me and also for Myne
I swallowed hard. Not for a second had I expected that the archduke would have Shikza executed. Considering that Shikza was a noble and I was a commoner, I figured he would get a light punishment at worst.
But in the anime, she is just "oh, so that he was executed is not public knowledge" and breezes on with the conversation.

Talking about pace in relation to LN:
-
@lurkingmclurk, I'm glad they still show who uses rinsham. Although a certain purple-haired guy looks like he needs more than rinsham to make his hair behave!
-
I read books so I knwo what will happen but it is still interesting to see how they adapt it. Also I try to spot mistakes. In latest episode when Myne is eating alone in room I noticed there is no bell on table :)
-
Somebody or something is messing with time in my locality, I just sat down to watch the new episode and all of a sudden it was finished.
And a wild Blue Priest appeared, too! But "pwee"?

Hey. It's a HUGE step up from the "oink" we saw in the trailers.
-
I am so happy they developed Damuel’s character on screen! This is how characters become alive on screen, and what separates bookworm from the generic isekai! Big Applause to the production team
Following: Ascendance of a Bookworm, D-Genesis, Housecleaning Mage, Dahlia in Bloom, Rebuild World, Conqueror from a Dying Kingdom, TRPG

@marcus_atticus Not only that but they are speeding up things that will be relevant in future seasons in order to focus more on what hapens in part 2 of books. So far they are doing excelent job.
-
They didn't have Benno's "Took her long enough" reaction to Myne collapsing!

I died a little inside when I saw that line in the Crunchyroll trailer. I kinda forgotten if we've even seen the creature in this adaptation which makes the sound.

So...
Concerning Crunchyroll substandard subs, or sub-par subs, or whatever subs...Ferdinand.
Bezewanst.
Two High Priests for the price of one!At least in this episode, they were both being called High Priest in the subs, with nary an alternate title to be seen.
-
@ryanmakise Given that we didn't get an adaptation of "A Day Without Myne", I don't think so.
