Yeah, me too!

I guess, they decided to do that, because a "impact" as for many people have been read the LN, or Manga previously than the anime.
I mean, in Japan mostly,... for Us, westerns ... sadly the Anime must discover the LN/Manga for more than the opposite (I guess... :p ),

I guess it ( starting for a forward point on anime, and then go back to previous point, to tell the plot. is a common resorce in anime adaptation. ( even in some Manga, I'd read like it. )

Same as He is appearing at the end of the Chaps, which what cut go in the next Chap.

The side stories are fun and not so much side stories. They really add to the overall story.

I’m watching the dubbed version. It’s interesting how they have then talk differently. Some are the same but other conversations are quite different. At least their overall meaning doesn’t change much.

It would seem Season 2 will premiere in Japan April 4th. It should start at the beginning of part 2. It’s only going to be 12 episodes. I wonder if they are going to cram all of part 2 into season 2? Part 2 is four books unlike 3 books for part 1 which was 14 episodes. I mean I’ve read the first two books of part 2 already and has enough content within those two books to cover 12 episodes easily. So either season 2 is going to be incredibly fast paced or a close to the same pace.

The Light novel part 2’s third book comes out April 20th. So if the anime covers all of part 2 it’ll out pace the Light Novels coming out in English.

I’ve read that the web story is complete and there will be a total of 5 parts.

The names of each part is a spoiler to each parts content too. So if you don’t want any spoilers don’t read what the names are of each part are.

I’m hoping Part 2 will be split into two seasons. The same for part 3. So the anime keeps a good pace. It’d mean part 4 would need to be split into three seasons since it consists of 9 volumes.

Part 5 volume 1 will be released in Japan in March. Supposedly Part 5 is the longest part of the Web Story. So another 8 at least or more light novels will be released to complete the final part, part 5.

I believe this story will remain fantastic until in concludes.

It also means part 5 won’t be completed until 2022 or later in Japan. If the anime only does 1 season per part it’ll run out of the source material quickly.

If they pace it with 2 for part two, 2 for part 3, 3 for 4, and at least 3 for part 5 if it runs that long anyways that will be 10 more seasons which would also go into 2022 even if it ran every season.

Part 3 is 5 volumes. So book 8 through 12.

Book 13 through 21 is part 4

22+ probably at least 30 will part 5 which will be the last part.

But a spin-off has already started. Hopefully it’ll get published in English.

It isn’t a spoiler just not that significant as of yet and may never be. It occurs after Myne starts going to the forest. I might be in a side story.

  Spoiler:  
Recall a group of creatures that were chased then skinned to be cooked. They had to be careful because it was a magical beast. It turned to a nearly worthless stone if they failed. The meat was more valuable but they could sell this magic stone in the market.

Is how the Anime started, just after the Manga ends on Chap 33. (I'm still half of the first volume of the LN. But, so I beg it wont be much different ...) :smoke:

  Spoiler:  
It's exactly how end the 5th Volumen (Vol2, Part 2). just before the Epilogue.
Just as I imagine when I read the description of the "Lecturing Room" … the first time the High Priest bring her in. I was neatly 90% sure it will happen!
I new it the Anime does put it for nothing!

I read it in the LN a bit ago and commented on it.

The anime added a lot of spoilers in that scene. Plus what led to it in the LN is significant which is not mentioned when the scene occurred.

It’s a side story in the first book titled ‘A Day Without Myne’

  Spoiler:  
That’s where magic stones are mentioned.

The map first appears in the 2nd book. So it isn’t a spoiler.

As I said before the side stories aren’t really side stories and should be part of the main story.

The fact that *** Hidden Content *** is an interesting card left to play. Her *** Hidden Content *** is a big deal too. I think this upcoming part of the story is great and will be better than the first season.
Of course, it will be simplified and truncated though...

If you have read the 5th book you’ll discover the trombe is far too dangerous to use to drain mana. It’d have to be highly regulated and controlled to be safe.
