      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.

            @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

                      @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...

                            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.

                              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?

                                I definitely second this... And also,

                                          @angelus I hope we do but considering that it will not be relevant for this season they might skip it :(

                                            @sekki, and it would use up a lot of the animation budget, which I can see from the preview pics is going to be needed elsewhere.
