      @raitoiro It references an old story in which a rabbit begs a fox not to throw him into a briar patch. The fox then does exactly that, without realizing that that was exactly what the rabbit wanted, because as he was familiar with the briar patch he would be able to escape that way.

      Perhaps Caramel was trying to use reverse psychology on Sam to get him to license Gamers?

              @crey Yes, never heard of him before, well aside from a list of forbidden cartoons (because of "Song of the South").

                @caramelwithoutthesalt Where I watched the anime and was in tears from laughing so hard. Tastes will vary.

                          @raitoiro It references an old story

                          A very, very old story. One that Disney wishes people forget they tried to adapt (of course, like most DIsney animations, it is taken from something even earlier). It was a very hard movie to get a copy of.

                              Just some random spitballing here...

                              For those following the Bookworm anime, you might know that from ep. 4 on, the endcards are drawn by various artists who have worked on other TO Books series. Since most such series aren't well-known and since it looks like JNC has a good relationship with TO Books, these might be of some consideration.

                              Ep. 4's endcard was done by Iida Seriko, the artist for the manga adaptation of Sweet Reincarnation, which JNC already has. Of course, the original light novel is always a possibility.

                              Ep. 5's endcard is by You Shimizu, the illustrator of this series. Something about a failed college debut and now they're in another world dealing with nature spirits and riding on birds? Looks like a one-shot.

                              Ep. 6's endcard is by Kitora Kon, whose main contribution to TO Books seems to be some stuff in a Bookworm manga anthology. (Maybe said anthology is one of the licenses?) They've done other stuff with other publishers, though.

                              Ep. 7's endcard is by Chima, illustrator of Rare Class Change. Seems like this one is about a girl who gets isekai'd and becomes a beast tamer with the titular "rare class change" skill. Currently six volumes are out. This one definitely seems like it could be one of the licenses, though there's plenty of other not-known TO Books series too...

                              Again, just some random speculation.

                                @stardf29 Welp, that last one comes with an English title. It could be what Sam was talking about.

                                  Another light novel that translates straight is "My Dad is a hero, My Mom is a Spirt, My Daughter is a Reincarnation".

                                      @nosgoroth the average guy/girl stuck as the son/daughter of the Hero and a Spirit, and a Reincarnator's father/mother, I guess?? It'd be hilarious

                                        @nosgoroth I think he's talking about this though I think @Yoshken might have misunderstood the title since apparently the reincarnator is the is main character. According to the link a more accurate main title is "My Father Is a Hero, My Mother Is a Spirit and the Daughter (Me) Is a Reincarnator."

                                          Last one? Pretty sure 'Rare Class Change' isn't 'Dad Is a Hero, Mom Is a Spirit, I'm a Reincarnator'... Are you referring to some other post?

                                            @korppi I'm not sure what the miscommunication is? I was referring to Rare Class Change, which is the last LN listed in stardf29's post which I was replying to. It has an English title, which would coincide with the clue Sam gave on Discord. As far as I can tell, Hero/Spirit/Reincarnator only entered the conversation after my post.
