That was repeated over and over again xD
Are sure it isn't the most over used technique?

At this point it doesn't look like there will be a third season, but I hope they will be.

Next week will the last episode for many of the shows.

I'm looking forward to a few of them.

I'm hoping some continue as well, like this one, but it's doubtful this one will continue next season, maybe the season after. We can hope.

The comparison will be interesting to see. I'm wondering what else they'll have occur in it considering what happened at the beginning of the anime was also suppose to occur after the mana comparison happens.

Tomorrow, I'll be reading the next part of the LN that becomes available. I can't wait. Which is significantly further along then the anime is. Another season would need to air and be completed to be somewhat caught up to it. Then it wouldn't be far behind where the LN is currently.

Spoiler for Beginning Part 3 Volume 1 and end of Part 2

  Spoiler:  
So what do you think of Sylvestor's and Ferdinand's plan for Myne?

Have you gotten to where they talk to Karsarf's wife yet? That's some quite interesting drama there.

I don't believe you've gotten to where Myne is examined, but regardless that should add quite a lot of interesting future story to the series. I'm quite interested to find out what comes of the results of Ferdinand's examination of Myne.

Yes, I've gotten to
  Spoiler:  
Myne's physical examination. Myne was adopted by Elvira and then had her 2nd baptism and was adopted by Sylvester. I ended at Myne seeing her family at the Starbind ceremony. I see there's 2 new chapters now.
  Spoiler:  
I think healing her would change her character so much that I'd be worried about the story value of it.

But if this story lasts that long then it'll be a completely different story by then, as its proved to continually jump outside of expectations.

I dont remember specific plans they have for Myne other than Ferdinand's plan to turn her into a Saint. Come to think of it the only reason I knew for doing that was to make it more believable to be adopted by Sylvester. But that seems to have been accepted so far. I wonder if there's another reason.

The way this story seems to go unexpected ways, I wonder if we'll actually see the royal academy.

You aren't far behind me, Oh on Mondays every week is when a new translated part is released, so later today the next should be available.

There are two more parts so far beyond Part 3 and the names of each Part after that comes out are spoilers in themselves. Part 5 is still ongoing.

List of Parts of the Light Novels
  Spoiler:  
Part 1: Daughter of a Soldier (Volume 01-03)
Part 2: Apprentice Shrine Maiden (Volume 04-07)
Part 3: Lord's Adopted Daughter (Volume 08-12)
Part 4: The House of Lords' Self-styled Library Assistant (Volume 13-21)
Part 5: Incarnation of the Goddess (Volume 22-?)

Another thing about how the story progresses which everyone has seen.

  Spoiler:  
Myne is aging steadily, and eventually is going to grow up and and probably get married and have children in the story and who knows what else she'll accomplish in the story. She's stated to be more powerful in Magic then the Arch Duke so she'll probably become the next or another Arch Duke at one point.

So, I do believe as the story progresses Myne's character will change and grow too and the story will change with her. Though I doubt her love for books or small stature will ever change. Her constitution will probably get better. Not sure what else will change.

I've read the recent part 6.
  Spoiler:  
I think Ferdinand, Sylvester, and Karstedt must be part of a faction--maybe the duchy itself being opposed to others, maybe something internal. But I think the plan to make Rozemyne a saint is more about tying her to their faction l. I suppose Sylvester pretty much already said he'd use her, but I think that making her a saint is something like focusing her usage for optimal benefit of their faction.
