      Not a bad first part. They got about as far as I would have suspected them to in episode 1. Still, I felt that they left put some pretty crucial stuff, but being spiked with both the manga and light novel I guess that is to be expected. But, us this a 24 episode run or more. The intro kinda suggested thus so...

        @lighthawk96 if it's not at least 24 episodes, this is gonna suck HARD. OP got stuff up to Vol. 5, and given how that ends, I'm willing to bet we'd at least get half of Vol. 6 for proper closure.

        Unless it was just bait like the OP to the first season of TenSura

            I'm now really curious how many books their going to adapt, I assumed the anime would probably just adapt the first 3 books over 13 episodes just so the story could finish setting its foundation but that intro suggested their going to adapt far more than that. I really hope this is 2 cour now or this is going to be stupidly rushed.

              Other than Truck-kun not showing up to crash into the bus Haruto was riding just like in the LN it was a good 1st episode.

              The director is probably starting a new movement for Train-kun to be the next big thing that causes people to be isekai'd.

              JNC LN Ranking:
              1st - Rokujouma
              2nd - Realist Hero
              3rd - Bookworm

                I agree, but for the amount the showed, I just don't know. It would be really hard to get that much story into 24 episodes. 36 maybe, but that would basically be a 3 season run. Not many anime are blessed with 3 season runs. But, this one might be popular enough to get that far.

                    @lighthawk96 12-13 episodes for 3 volumes is more or less the norm for LN adaptations, of course, the best ratio would be 2 vols per cour, but you can make a decent 3 vol adaptation in that time frame (i.e. Overlord, which has a huge word-count). And SG volumes are rather short IMO, so 24-26 episodes for an adaptation up to Vol 6 doesn't seem that far-fetched to me.

                    Still, we'll have to wait, if the first vol gets up to ep 4, we could be looking at a 2-cour or maybe a split cour. If they end it all on the next episode or on ep3, welp, we're probably fucked.

                      @whyohwhy1 100% yes. It bugged me. It looked like a nice little village or something and not a place for sewer trash which is how he and his comrades are compared to as.

                      Also, I wonder why they cut out the prostitute. I'd argue that had a pretty positive impact on him going forward.

                        Please, oh please don't let this turn into another Arifureta. That would be cataclysmic for my psyche.

                          @whyohwhy1 yeah too clean.
                          or for me its too "open" from what I see in the zoom out it should be inside the wall. and for something inside walled city it has too much open space.

                            The worst I’ve seen is Ragnarok where they crammed 7 volumes into 12 episodes, it was a complete disaster and one of the worst anime’s I have ever seen.

                              @kilocron I agree much too clean and tidy inside and out. I would not expect it to be quite as messy as my flat, but it definitely should not look like it had been freshly scrubbed!

                              The outside looked like it was part of a small village rather than a slum. I would expect closely packed building with not gardens.

                              It is a shame the dropped Gigi (the prostitute) but it is understandable as she only survives a very short time and
                              we only see her sister and child twice.

                              Anyone one else noticed that they used the same picture for the inside wall of the shack and one of the dungeon walls?

                              One slightly worrying change is Celia says she is learning magic at the academe.

                              Anyone else have difficulties with the subtitles. They would stick and then jump two or three sections, or was it just me?

                              Apart from that it looked reasonable.

                                Yeah. It was pretty bad. But not as bad as Arifureta.

                                  I caught that too, let’s hope they have her as a teacher in the next episode.

                                  Technically what was said was true, she is expanding her magical knowledge and learning more about magic but more as research rather than the implied student. After all she in also a residing professor.

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

                                    Oh, that one's a mistranslation. What Celia actually said (if I heard it correctly) was「私、ベルトラン王立学院教えてくるから。」which you can translate as "I'm a professor at the Beltrum Royal Academy."

                                    Edit: It seems that there's an ongoing crowdfunding for the anime, and it's currently halfway the target with 85 days remaining.

                                          TVアニメ『精霊幻想記』のアニメ制作は完了しております。
                                          そのため、応援いただいた資金は以下の目的で活用させていただきます。

                                          My talking sword has a point. And is also right.

                                            Given Seirei's anime adaptation will only be getting 12 episodes, how many volumes could they reasonably adapt for the anime?
