    Finally the show gets the animation quality it deserves. But they are skipping so much that it hurts. By this pace I expect they want to go through the entirety of part 3 in this two cours. A shame really but better than nothing I guess.

    So, we know from the previous season that Eckhart investigated Myne with Justus before she entered the temple. So he knows all about her past as a commoner, but she doesn’t recognize him. Knowing this, it’s interesting how he talks to her as her older brother. He specifically says he accepts her because of her relationship with Ferdinand.

      As a fan of the LNs, if I could choose one anime to have it become popular so that it is guaranteed to finish the entire main story, it would be Ascendance of a Bookworm.

      So, I’m hoping this season does it. So far, so good.

      Of course, it’s also hard for me to tell how this episode would play to a person who doesn’t already know the entire story. But some scenes in this episode hit harder for me, I think.

        To me, personally, I liked the episode. I watched the last season many years ago and having a bit of a recap helped. I feel that Myne is more fragile than I remember. I’m so far very empathetic of her, and feel happy that there are no assholes in this chapter yet.

          When I first watched the anime that had come out so far, I didn’t originally classify it as top-tier. Only after reading the LNs did I get really excited about it. Going back and watching the anime again, I was surprised at how good they were at choosing the parts to animate without changing the story very much.

          One thing they changed compared to the anime is that Myne is somewhat more weak and sickly in the books. So, it’s more natural if she collapses with Cornelius and then with Wilfried. By the way, I think those two scenes are months apart.

          Also, in this episode, it sort of looks like she fainted with Cornelius because she was walking too much, but in the book, it’s clear that she mostly got overexcited about the book room. They kind of showed this in the episode by showing how happy her face was after she collapsed and was in bed, presumably dreaming about the book room.

      Considering how long it took I’m surprised how much I remember from previous seasons. I guess it’s hard to forget the peak.

    From the crowd I spotted few familiar faces, Ottilie Bonifatus and Rihyarda. The music is using some similar instrument to harspiels but still it’s different to the real life counter part of bandura.
