This week: we finally get introduced to Lainie.

At the rate they’re going, I imagine the anime will wrap up Volume 2 of the LN in about two episodes, leaving the rest of the season to adapt Volume 3

Sure speed running novel 2 not that I mind cause it means animated volume 3

It’s a little unfortunate that speed running so they can end on volume 3 has meant that they’ve had to cut some great moments from volumes 1 and 2. It’s nothing major but some really fun gags or the occasional interesting bit of world building

This week: Algard does his best Gilgamesh impression

One more episode to conclude volume 2, leaving three episodes to adapt Vol 3. I imagine thats gonna be a little condensed, but it’s fine, it’s the better ending point for the season

Episode out, very satisfying. They did cut/change some things though so I’m wondering how that’s gonna effect how they handle volume 3, it’s already a little tight at 3 episodes left. One of the things might have just been cut for time and could be easily explained next episode though

It comes with the nature of an adaptation, especially when the anime is cutting a lot of “non essential” stuff to be able to fit 3 volumes in. Probably could have fully adapted all of 1 and 2 into just 12 episodes if they didn’t try and also adapt volume 3, but Vol 3 is just to important, both narratively, and as an ending to the season, to save for a theoretical season 2

I feel like I'm getting the highlight reel version of the story tbh. Just some big drama scenes with no more than the absolute bare minimum of context and build up.

Cause at this point you basically are, the anime is cutting out a lot of character stuff and world building to be able to get to the end of volume 3 in 12 episodes.

This week: the show ends, and Euphie kisses her girlfriend

Overall this wasn’t bad as an adaptation, although I think its short episode count hurts it and it really needed more time. If you’re curious about the series, the anime adapts volumes 1-3 of the light novels. If you wanna pick up where the anime left off, Volume 4 comes out in English next month.
