| I know this anime has a serious mood even with that prayer ceremony but that pose looks so silly. Personally, I'm not a fan of Sylvester and he kinda treats Myne like a little kid. We still got some goofy moments with Myne again as usual though. Good for Myne on taking her role as serious as she could. |
 |
| Dude ... Myne should have nuked that blue haired prick with super hero landing skills out of the room, just saying. And if it wasn't for all the work Myne was doing, and the situation they had during the stay at the Count's villa, that would actually be a nice field trip for her. Also that's not how wings works ... |
 |
| Damnn, the story is getting more interesting now. Those bastard Nobel went too far for our Myne, I didn't expect that. I also enjoyed the magic battle. To me, it's like adding some spices into this anime, making it better. |
| This was a welcoming episode! So much action and still so well balanced! |
| Meh... |
| Jeez, Sylvester is such a flamboyant tease, and not in a good way. Lucky that Main has Damuel as her protector, and let the Spring Prayer commence while both maintain distance from each other. All is merry from meals to showcasing talents, but when meeting other nobles, Main has to be on her guard at all times as much as Head Priest Ferdinand only can warn her as much as he needs to, and when there's an attack, it's time to fight back with all their might while keeping Main thoroughly safe. Karstedt is a reliable warrior, but so is Sylvester's magic as well. There's definitely evil lurking in the works. |
 |
| Sylvester was really annoying at the beginning poor Main, though it's getting tenser and tenser for her with these recurrent attacks and how she doesn't handle well her (OP) mana amount |
 |
| I'm beginning to suspect Karstedt might be worth keeping an eye on: he did some pretty strange things this episode. First was the attack on the manor, and specifically the point that the second bandit exploded. Very odd, considering that Karstedt was the only one pursuing him, and then he suddenly happens to die in a very unusual (and undoubtedly magical) way that'd destroy all evidence. Almost makes it sound like he was the one who killed him with magic. After all, if Karstedt wasn't involved, wouldn't it be natural for him to try to find and capture the noble responsible for the explosion? Yet it sounds like that didn't even occur to him. Lastly, and perhaps most suspiciously of all, his magic nuke at the end might have stopped the enemy noble, but it also completely obliterated them and the surrounding area, conveniently destroying anything that might have been lead back to the perpetrator. Wouldn't something less destructive have worked instead? It's suspicious, and it only becomes more so when we remember how the bandit earlier was said to have died: an explosion. My suspicion is that Viscount Gerlach is a red herring, and the real person we need to look out for is Karstedt and by extension, Count Leisegang. After all, Karstedt's assertion that Leisegang isn't involved doesn't hold much weight if he's also in on the conspiracy. |
 |
| Sylvester is probably the biggest 12 year old I’ve ever seen lmao. Myne was really about to Damn near destroy everything over that hairpin. Definitely feels like these last two eps have been turning points in the story with the revelation about a noble being out to get Myne. Whoever it is is getting and bolder and bolder too. To try and kidnap her when you know she’s travelling with other priests is crazy. Was really cool to see Myne gaining some more battle experience too. Loving the pacing rn and can’t wait for next week! |
 |
| What a great episode. We got introduced to a new priest, and I like him a lot. We've been lacking a goofy character. We also got some good action. Haven't had that in a while. Hopefully there will be more to come! |
“We all have our time machines, don't we. Those that take us back are memories... And those that carry us forward, are dreams.” ― H.G. Wells, The Time Machine  |
| Im not sure I like the new blue robed guy, especially his teasing of Myne , but at the end he certainly showed some power. Question for me though was he simply nuking evidence or is he on our side!! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| Other than the fact that nobles are after Myne, I'm more or less completely lost as to what's going on this season and I'm not sure why I'm finding this so hard to follow compared to the first two seasons. Either way, Sylvester is annoying and I hope he doesn't get too much more screentime going forward. |
| This show is so good, when action happens it is super exciting, magic is something especial, powerful but also scary and dangerous, the after credits sketch was pretty funny and gruesome, with so much serious threats and such a high target on her head I hope she learns more to use her magic for battle. |
| Trying to understand, why were all those people going to attack the carriage, what exactly was that darkness magic supposed to do? Think the show isn't explaining the magic side of things very well this episode. Otherwise it was an overall strong episode. |

Makes sense, though that makes me wonder if this is a red herring since the guy said the nobleman wouldn't attack people he is escorting, or if kardstedt is a traitor. |

I've read the LN, so I don't wish to accidently spoil anything. :D |
| Daaammm that was so cool, I would never expect something like this. |
 |
| This episode really showed off the cool magic well! Ferdinand with his quick thinking directed Myne's rage into something protective also shows how quick witted and just plain smart he is. Ferdinand don't miss! I'm excited to see how other parts of the LN will be handled since I feel like this episode was executed nicely. Really enjoyed this episode. |

| Well that was a better episode than last episode. Still had its issues though. Especially when it came to Ferdinand's instructions to Myne with her Shield of Shutzaria. I don't know if the subtitles were mistranslated or what but Ferdinand's instructions didn't state to let the darkness barrier absorb her mana. His instructions were explicitly to create the shield over the barrier but at a distance so the barrier wouldn't drain her mana. Basically the polar opposite of what the subtitles said. I think it was a mistranslation though since she did place her shield at a distance. Swagernator said: Dude ...

And if it wasn't for all the work Myne was doing, and the situation they had during the stay at the Count's villa, that would actually be a nice field trip for her. This post'll actually be pretty hilarious later one, lol. Also that's not how wings works ... Highbeasts aren't living beings. They're made out of feystones and thus are very solid. In addition, wings aren't actually what gives a highbeast its lift, mana does. The anime kinda glosses over their construction but the anime directly addresses this fact. In fact it explicitly mentions that Sylvester standing on the wing of Damuel's highbeast seemed pretty unrealistic even though it was clearly happening.

Wouldn't something less destructive have worked instead? It's suspicious, and it only becomes more so when we remember how the bandit earlier was said to have died: an explosion. For the first, the noble involved was exploded remotely. They actually go more in-depth on it in the novel and it can be done at seemingly arbitrary distances. (For clarity: The bandit exploding wasn't the result of a magic attack but something else more akin to a magic contract.) As for the explosion, you can see that Karstedt is clearly surprised at how powerful his attack is and you're overlooking that Ferdinand and Myne gave them a blessing. This is why Ferdinand told Myne to not say anything about the blessing since that was actually an error on his part.

Loving the pacing rn and can’t wait for next week! This season is basically the end of the prologue of the actual story. Parts 1 and 2 of the light novel basically set the stage for the entire rest of the story.

Either way, Sylvester is annoying and I hope he doesn't get too much more screentime going forward. Myne's actions during the first two seasons are garnering more and more attention from the nobility. There are some, such as the High Bishop and Giebe Gerlach who look down on commoners and thus see Myne as nothing more than a tool for them to use. Her having so much mana is the primary reason that they're after her but they're also after her for her accomplishments as well. Unfortunately the anime is doing a pretty piss poor job of communicating all of this. As for Sylvester, we'll definitely see him next episode and then I believe we'll see him in the final two episode of this season but we should have a break from him in the rest. He's not a bad guy but, as Ferdinand said, he has a terrible personality.

They used the black smoke that doesn't allow you to use mana in hopes of successfully capturing Myne, as they are aware she has an abundance of mana. Karstedt and Sylvester didn't attack and destroy the darkness barrier. They attacked the bandits in the woods. Though if Myne's Shield of Shutzaria hadn't been protecting the carriages, they would have been destroyed since Sylvester and Karstedt's attacks were more powerful than they expected due to Ferdinand and Myne granting them Angriff's Blessing. The darkness barrier disappearing was due to Karstedt's attack varporizing the person who had put it in place. |

They used the black smoke that doesn't allow you to use mana in hopes of successfully capturing Myne, as they are aware she has an abundance of mana. She protected the attendants in the carriage with a wind shield so the attackers could not approach the carriages and take the people inside as hostages. No one inside has mana, so it makes no difference whether the black magic is there or not. The wind shield had to surround the dark magic as it's kind of like anti-magic, so it wouldn't have been effective if smaller. Sylvester and Karstedt went into the forest and used their attacks to not only block the attackers path of escape but hit them with their own attacks in the hope of capturing some of them. They did not blow the carriages, if that's what you're confused about. |
Sylvester must have a death wish... Teasing Myne is probably the most dangerous thing he's done in his life! |
| End card has some very nice lighting. |
| Lmao Jylvester being an absolute show off, and Karlsted immediately saying to not use him as a reference was priceless. Cool animation this week, way better than usual. SamuraiNinja1 said: Lol I can't take that prayer pose seriously. Myne's wind shield was kind of cool and pretty powerful. This episode was good but I want to see her make more books, food and tools. FYI, the idea behind that pose (both from the author and in lore) is that it's an effort to get your body closer to where the gods reside. Raising your hands to the sky, trying to elevate yourself as much as possible by standing on one foot raising the other leg, and pushing toward the sky by standing on your toes. |

| Myne is so cute saying "pwee" but I do hate that guy who teased her from their first meeting. Such a crude character but he has his uses at the end of this episode. |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| pretty good ep tbh |
 |
| Episode was fun,there was epic battle,not a bad episode at all. However,i don't like another antagonist they added. To be honest,corrupt nobles are so cliche,no matter what anime. I hate seeing them acting high and mighty just because they got high social status and treat commoners as trash just because they are not same social status. There are many corrupted noble characters that got themselves killed because of their ego and because they underestimated anyone they looked down to. Just because you have high social standing doesn't mean you can look down on anyone who isn't on same league. Being in high social class gives you only political power,it's doesn't make you strong physically or in terms of what level is their magical power. Whether they are noble or commoner,in the end,if they don't have true power,they are mere human beings. People should be ruled by those who have true power,not by hierarchy of social class. If these conceited fools like high priest and that viscount keep underestimating Main just because she is commoner,their pride and ego will be their downfall. Seeing these kind of characters makes me wanna write a novel where protagonist shows to cocky nobles that social standing doesn't make you special. |
| There is no bad waifu,only bad anime. |
| omg! surprisingly intense awesome episode! the 2nd half was a banger! Maine's mana is vastly colossal! 5/5! |
 |
| Don't know why but Sylvester felt like a nice guy to me, though some flashy way to introduce him. Also guess there isn't anywhere safe for Myne from now on, missing those days when it was just fun and all. |

Seeing these kind of characters makes me wanna write a novel where protagonist shows to cocky nobles that social standing doesn't make you special. That's where you'd be mistaken. Nobles in the Bookworm universe are explicitly stronger than commoners simply due to having mana. Devouring commoners like Myne are actually the exception and not the rule, with a strong Devouring commoner being approximately equivalent to a laynoble, which is the very bottom rung of nobles. In addition to that, nobles go out of their way to keep knowledge about magic from commoners too. (And the primary tool used for magic is something they have a monopoly on since it can only be obtained in a single place.) This means that the only means a Devouring commoner has to utilize magic is through the Crushing. Except you have to have a very significant amount of mana to use it to any effective degree. In addition, there's actually another factor in controlling the commoner populace that hasn't actually been addressed in the anime yet so I won't elaborate on that. Suffice it to say that nobles having such absolute control over commoners isn't simply a legal matter though, they have the means to enforce it. |

Seeing these kind of characters makes me wanna write a novel where protagonist shows to cocky nobles that social standing doesn't make you special. That view would be correct in other franchises, but not here. Nobles ARE vastly superiors to commoners, and commoners can only live because nobles are doing the necessary things so that they can live. So commoners are heavily dependant to nobles for their survival, and 10 Gunthers facing one single "corrupt noble" would be dispatched by the noble without him even breaking a sweat. And he's nowhere near the top in term of how strong some nobles are. Not every noble has crap attitude towards commoners, but they almost all consider themselves superior and more important than commoners, yes. Which is logical. Nobles are way less numerous, far more powerful, and their ability are required for the commoners to live, so they're more important for the country's well being. They're not just sitting on their asses counting their money or some crap. Even that "corrupted" noble you're talking about is working every day for the sake of commoners of the region he's in charge off. Also bookworm is LITERALLY a world where (among nobles) the more powerful you are, the higher your social rank. So by asking to be ruled by "true power" you just validated the way that world social hierarchy works ^^". |

| As the first half was boring, the second half seemed rather good. But the plot was lame and audience couldn't understand the situation enough. |
| Finally, She can control a little bit of emotion so that her mana can be suppressed and still conscious. |

The one that exploded was the one who Karstedt chased. I want to say that the captured one had a knife or something like that on him and used that to kill himself but the anime didn't address this. The novel does, though I don't recall the details for certain since it's been quite awhile since I last read the volume where this occurs. |

| "Even if it has good reviews, if I don't like it then it is shit" -Some random anime character |
| Ok I figured the new guy would be flashy but I didn't think he was "jump out of the sky riding a flying griffon and start doing poses for the crowd" flashy lmao. At least he seems to be on the good team though They're really building up this antagonist, I hope they weed them out soon before Myne or someone we care about gets hurt |
| Sylvester huh? Well at the dude got skillz! Hot damn, so this is their version of magical battles? Though he haven't seen the opposing force and we just nuked their decoy magical signature with Karstedt's attack buffed by Myne and Ferdinand's prayer that even Karstedt was surprised |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
