(They even had museum staff all throughout the exhibit halls to prevent it.)
That seems expensive to have so many staff. But the admission is just 400 yen? Well, I don't understand the economics but I appreciate the report! I won't need to lug my big camera over whenever I manage to visit. I am curious though--did their gift shop have any Bookworm merch? Or any other particularly unique gift shop items?

The dub will start coming out this Monday

The dub version is out and I got to say it is well done, and have improved from the previous seasons. I’m able to enjoy the visual aesthetics more now that my eyeballs can focus on the animation rather than subtitles.

Seeing how the Veronica faction is acting here makes me want to punch them all in the fucking face. Can't wait to see the decree come up next episode...

Just small clarification for those who did not read novel. That meeting did not took place in the Temple. I will refrain for saying anything else in order not to accidently spoil things :)

I was just thinking about when Myne touches babies they always cry. Is it possible that babies instincively fear her due to high amount of mana she has?

@sekki, I've got various theories about children (born and unborn) in the Bookverse that it wouldn't be appropriate to air in this thread, but thanks for pointing something out that I'd somehow missed completely before. Does she subconsciosly try to put her mana into them and their bodies then fight back?

I thought it was just (running) comedy.
It's been long enough ago when I first read the books that the events in the anime occasionally surprise me. In particular to this episode, evil santa is much more of a stooge (puppet?) that just goes along with the evil cabal than I remembered

It most likely is but it does not stop us from speculating :)

@arghc - He was a stooge in the books, too. I recall his inner monologue wrestling with the possibility that he might be a stooge, and he decided in the end to reframe his perspective to stop seeing himself as a stooge.

I think most of this is that the meeting is severely cut down in the anime. The LN gives it a full chapter, with more people around, more dialogue, and insight into Bezewanst's thoughts about himself and those he's meeting with. The anime, due to time constraints, has to cut this down to just a couple minutes with the dialogue cut down to only the essential, expository parts. For example, in the LN the black stone is a response to his specific excuses for not bringing Myne with him, so it feels like he has more authority. That and he specifically mentions how everyone there is sucking up to him due to his sister.

The babies cry out because they can feel their fates are being twisted, as if their childhoods are being corrupted to revolve around books...

I love seeing the comments of LN-naive watchers, I think they are adorable. Someone was worried that Dirk had chickenpox with last week’s cliff hanger.
-
@marcus_atticus Delia wishes it was chicken pox.
Also... fuckin' Arno, man. I tell ya what.

Arno has a rather twisted personality, especially in regard to what gives him enjoyment.
He knew damn well he wasn't supposed to share anything with Delia, although I'm sure he'd claim he had no specific orders to that effect. -
@Weasalopes I mean, you and I, we've read the LNs, we know that Arno's a fucker. That bastard's gonna get what's coming to him.
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?
-
@TheGrimLich
Well, yes.
It's not a subject for speculation since I know what's going to happen.I came up with some lovely lines, too.
But I can't use them.All I could do was comment on stuff arguably clear from 'the story up until now' as told in the anime.

Upon further reflection that baby crib was more or less a tragedy waiting to happen huh?
