I'm mostly worried about the fact that Damuel is still conscious!
You’re right, I didn’t even catch that.

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)

@Libri-Liberorum, this is why they invented mkvToolNix and Aegisub!
Edit: OK, impressions after a night's sleep and a rewatch.
Disappointing, I guess. The dialogue with Ferdinand when he sees Myne's charm is crucial, the rest of the story (and there's a lot of it) hangs on those few minutes and it just feels flat. And why is the charm plain black again, though? There should be a fire in it to show it's been activated. As has already been mentioned, Damuel should be seriously injured and unconscious, and Gunther's wound should be much worse too, were they reducing the injury detail because of the expected age of the audience?
Anyway, the production staff have one more week to redeem themselves.

Seems the final episode is already out in Japan through the release of the S3 Blu-Ray box set.
-
@IronDestinyBlaze, well, I did wonder how Happinet had got their hands on scenes from the final episode (as shown in the clip @talisein posted earlier), I guess that would explain it if it was already finished to make the BD pressing schedule.
-
@Angelus Happinet is on the production committee so it's in no way unexpected that they have scenes from the final episode.
-
@IronDestinyBlaze, the point was not that they had them at all, but that they had them so early.
It's still not unheard of for an anime episode to be completed with just days to spare. In the past, sometimes the finished tape was sent to the TV station by motorcycle courier just hours before it was due to be transmitted. In this case, if the BD schedules were driving everything then all the episodes must have been finished weeks ago.
EDIT: just went to check on the JP anime website and it's gone, you get some old movie site instead. Unless it's a server misconfiguration somewhere, that doesn't bode well for S4.

I have no issue visiting the site. In fact, just today they updated it with news of an error in the BD Boxset: http://booklove-anime.jp/news/591

@LurkingMcLurk, from that URL I get this:
Not Found
The requested URL /news/591 was not found on this server.
Apache Server at booklove-anime.jp Port 443So probably server issues (I just tried from a Tokyo IP address just to make sure and got the same error).
EDIT: an understandable error in those notes, Gerlach and Dahldof might as well be nobles of Ahrensbach!
Found the problem - their server's HTTPS is misconfigured, if I use a browser that's not forcing HTTPS it works just fine.

Episode 36 Preview Pictures

@LurkingMcLurk IMO Silvester needs Rinsham :)

They shure have crammed alot in last 2 episodes. It would have been better if it was over 4 episodes. It feels quite rushed and clumsy.
-
Yeah lots and lots was left out. But one thing I am hopeful for is another season, because at the end it said to be continued.
-
Showing the memories in the burning contract was an excellent use of the animated medium to enhance the story! Conversely, the still images saying goodbye were a disappointment. The PV they put out before was great so the staff certainly has it in them to do well, I should just watch it again now.
Well, with a to be continued I guess we'll see what they can do with the Night of Schutzaria? But I don't know how they're going to manage it. Rozemyne starts juggling so much between Wilfried, Hasse, and printing. They're going to have to keep rushing or drop some plot threads... or, hm, maybe from here they could do movies? I'm just doubtful the 20 minute episodic format is a good match for the content...

@arghc I think it is My Anime List which I think is website that ranks animes
-
I hope the directing would improve on the next critical parts of the show, if it ever gets another season. Many critical elements from the LN didn’t translate well to the animation at this crucial turning point in the story such as the severity of the situation like Damuel injured to the point of unconsciousness and the corpses being vaporized into dust from the duel between Bindewald and Ferdinand. Heck, even the banter between Myne and Ferdinand about erasing evidence is also crucial to both their character development.
-
Well, that was OK, I suppose. They managed to avoid the mawkish tearjerker that it could have been, and as has already been mentioned, the scene with Myne's past burning up in the flames of the contract was inspired. But there were too many important bits of dialog left out. I guess the problem is that a lot of us here probably know the story better than the anime production staff!
Still,
TO BE CONTINUEDis as much as I could have hoped for. -

Part 3 could be two seasons with a couple of connector half episodes between ‘em.

Does anyone have a source to this claim?
Also, apparently the director on twitter said that they had to fight tooth and nail to even get 10 episodes, the production committee wanted 8, so that explains the cuts and omissions and also the wonky animation when Tuuli was crying today.
I don’t really use Twitter but I did try finding a source.
