      :::

      You are correct, it's not the final episode; there are two episodes left.
      We've seen eight, and there are ten total.

      Just wondering, since Crunchyroll's series usually have 12 episodes per season. Where can I find the news that the 3rd season of "Bookworm" contains only 10 episodes? thx

        @NekoInu, I was just about to say that it's in all the usual places like MAL and ANN, but when I checked I found that ANN was still listing 12 episodes. I still think it's more likely to be 10 because it started 2 weeks later than most of the other anime this season.

        After reading something captivating, book lovers simply need to talk about it with someone.

          Information for the JP home release of s3 said that it will contain 10 episodes.

            Just watched episode 35 and I must say I really like how they did mana scenes. They did not follow books down to details but that was expected due to time constraints. They adapted book really well. Can't wait for next week :)

              I'm glad they mentioned the ordannanz Damuel tried to send, I always thought it was weird he didn't mention trying it in the LN.

                I’m actually disappointed where this episode ended. I wish they’d gone just a tiny bit further.

                    Well, well, well. So this is where we end this week...

                    Oh, right, the poison, the poison for Kuzco, the poison chosen especially to kill Kuzco, Kuzco's poison. ...That poison?

                      It happen exactly where I thought it would. But yea, it would have been nice for a longer episode.

                      Looking to the next few years of Ascendance of a Bookworm.

                        I think others have mentioned this, but it is at times way too amusing reading comments on the anime from folks who have clearly not read the LN or Manga.
                        I mean, MAL can be amusing for other reasons, but this aspect can be especially choice.

                        Sorry if this has been defined already, but what is MAL?

                        Reading Bookworm, Bibliophile, and Dahlia. Also, Girl Genius, xkcd, Witch Hat, Harpy Gee, and Suitor Armor. Looking for suggestions.

                            @Zeteni, only Ferdinand takes just one moment to get rid of the opposition.

                            Good episode on the whole, I suppose, but there were parts of it that didn't seem to flow well. The scenes inside the Temple must have been chaotic, but it seemed kind of static, more like separate tableaux. Anyway, I'll forgive them most things for that end card.

                              My Anime List; a fan site which provides a decent listing of the various Anime, LNs, and Manga, when they aired/were published, if they have English licenses, and various other info.
                              And discussion forums.
                              The MAL discussion forums are kinda infamous...


                              The shift in stance, expression, and vocal behavior when Myne goes funny in the eyes and starts exuding mana all over her body are good signifiers that All Hell Is About To Break Loose.

                              "Where are you going with my Tuuli?" being a particularly choice moment that way.

                              Oddly enough, while a good many of the VAs for Honzuki had rolls as villains in JoJo, it appears she's not one of them. [There's a lovely YouTube video concerning the crossover of talent with JoJo...]

                                Lol with the latest LN release I think it's funny what dubbed aired today. It's the Spring Prayer she had with Syl and their first meal together

                                  So, the LN has a High Bishop in a Temple.
                                  The anime has a High Priest in a Cathedral.

                                  We can't get no consistency.

                                      Once again (like when Myne was being swallowed by a trombe), the animators fail at action scenes. In the middle of a fight for survival, everyone stands around making lengthy speeches.

                                      The point is that bishops and cathedrals go together. You can't have one without the other. "A cathedral is a church that contains the cathedra (Latin for 'seat') of a bishop" (Opening sentence of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathedral)

                                        I don’t know, I can think of one that is much worse on that front, Dragonball Z. Tons of lengthy speeches.

                                          Nothing about that seems strange to me. Considering the first two minutes of the episode was a literal replay of the end of the previous one it's so obvious how little budget they had for all of this. And they had a lot of dialogue to squeeze in during that fight that already got pared down.

                                          They definitely overdid it with the devouring soldiers roiding up and charging. Poor Fran would've broken his neck and he already didn't even get to draw his knife.

                                          I'm mostly worried about the fact that Damuel is still conscious!

                                            If one listens to the anime and enables German-language subtitles, Bezewanst is referred to as the "Hoch Bischof," something which makes a lot more sense than High Priest (vs. Head Priest, Ferdinand's office).
