      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

      2022.06.09

      ・ブロン男爵
      誤】アーレンスバッハの貴族
      ↓
      正】エーレンフェストの貴族

        @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 443

        So 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.

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

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

                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...

                        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 CONTINUED is as much as I could have hoped for.

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

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

                              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.

                                @SleepyTexan I don't know, but I find it completely believable. Then again, perhaps I just don't have the best view of production committees.

                                  @SleepyTexan Seems the director deleted the tweet. But I've got it available through a discord embed.

                                  JP:

                                  ◇本好きちょっといい話◇第3期を作りたくてTOブックスさんに川崎君と頼みに行ったんだよね。決まった後、制作側が全8話を主張したのを國澤さんと私で全10話にしてもらったのです(その後、川崎氏は離脱💦)人生何度目かの超大変な仕事でした。ぜひ観てください第三十六章‼️燃え尽きました(笑)

                                  Google translate:

                                  ◇ A little good story about book lovers ◇ I went to ask TO Books with Kawasaki to make the third term. After it was decided, Mr. Kunizawa and I asked Mr. Kunizawa and I to make all 10 episodes that the production side insisted on all 8 episodes (after that, Mr. Kawasaki left 💦) It was a very difficult job for the first time in my life. Please take a look Chapter 36! ️ Burned out (laughs)

                                  Deepl:

                                  ◇A book lover's little good story◇ I wanted to make the third season, so I went to TO Books to ask Mr. Kawasaki for help. After the decision was made, the production team insisted on a total of 8 episodes, but Kunisawa-san and I got them to make it a total of 10 (Mr. Kawasaki left after that💦) It was a super hard job for the umpteenth time in my life. Please watch the film, Chapter 36, and I️ burned out!

                                    @IronDestinyBlaze ...yeah, I can see why he would've deleted that. Probably annoyed the production committee.

                                      10 episodes is already on the low end; 8 episodes is near to dropping out of broadcast to just be an OVA. They committee probably led with 8 so the negotiation would end at 10.

                                      Still, life is rough for the producer. I believe he respects the work; the budget constraints are just so tight..

                                        How long after season 2 ended it it take before season 3 got announced?

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

                                          Benno: I don't care if it's Main or Rozemyne.
                                          At least the subtitles didn't butcher her noble name. Also I liked how Benno might not even cared how it might be spelled either.

                                          I honestly wanted to see some zapping happening or at least more on Arno exiting stage left but alas, no. If there ever is a continuation, I hope more of a budget is awarded since so many scenes here needed more time.

                                            I think it was 2 years? I am not sure. As for season 4 it will take at least 2 years if it gets made at all. That is why they wrapped this season while skipping some things that would hint what would happen in next season (e.g. examination before they move to noble quarter) in order to have soem kind fo ending.

                                            I like how it ended with her going to noble quarter while part one ended while she was going into temple. Shows her progress of her ascension into higher hiearchies.
