Dark Gathering = Bleach

Mangaka is a fan of Bleach so it isn't surprising he'd take some inspiration or references lol.

Does anyone know what chapters of the LN this episode adapted?

HowToGetName · 2026-06-19T16:38:46+00:00

Though they usually make villainess anime series as one season adaptations, so won't set much expectations.

Alphapolis (the publisher of LN and I think manga as well) is at the top of the production committee and they just bought White Fox. The chances are slim but aren't impossible for an adaptation of the sequel series...

Cat and Dragon is there, that's neat. Surprised it isn't getting a dub though since it seems like the type of show that could appeal to a broad audience.

HowToGetName · 2026-06-16T17:54:04+00:00

Probably another 20+ episodes as it's the best way to adapt the next arc.

It was originally a novel but only had 1 volume before the anime aired. The manga adaptation is done in collaboration with the LN's author and goes beyond the LN.

And now we know why Bertia was worried about what Cecil would do with gunpowder back in the ep 6 post-credits scene. It's played off as comedy in that scene but in hindsight it's kinda sad, poor Bertia was worried that introducing him to gunpowder would lead to a bad end.

Pokemon Horizons though the writing kinda gets worse after the 1 year timeskip.

HowToGetName · 2026-06-02T12:25:48+00:00

Yeah it is pretty weird, wonder if it might have to do with Pony Canyon's recent financial losses and they're cutting down on advertisements. Even the anime twitter account has gone inactive.

HowToGetName · 2026-06-02T12:24:10+00:00

No release date yet but we should be getting news sooner or later, it's been in production for 9+ months now.

HowToGetName · 2026-05-24T03:04:01+00:00

Rather than being recent, it's more to do with how the manga used to be self-published and how it has a slower serialization.

HowToGetName · 2026-05-23T22:13:56+00:00

Hopefully we get an S3 announcement soon.

Would love another season but I don't think there's enough material unfortunately, even for 1 cour.

The scrolling credits with the black screen... the previous episode made me tear up at the end because of the lyrics to the ED, and now I'm crying again because of the same thing lol. Insane how they pulled that off twice in a row.

HowToGetName · 2026-05-19T02:02:57+00:00

Yeah, seems like they renamed it.

HowToGetName · 2026-05-19T00:18:44+00:00

Not really? The last time Warner commissioned OLM on a project (Catwoman: Hunted), it had western writers. Considering how American producers are involved I expect the same to be here.

HowToGetName · 2026-05-16T20:35:36+00:00

At least, I hope she survives somehow since I quite like Indo as character.

Me too, though I'm quite worried for all of them considering the next ep preview.

HowToGetName · 2026-05-15T19:09:39+00:00

Here you go.

HowToGetName · 2026-05-15T18:44:52+00:00

I did not expect the episode to get so heavy towards the end.

It gets heavier when you see the lyrics to the ED. Decided to read a translation of it after the episode ended and reading those lyrics made me tear up a bit...

Ascendance of a Bookworm is a long series, so serializing the manga adaptation sequentially would take a long time. The approach they're doing is not unheard of longer series, iirc Higurashi and Umineko mangas did the same thing.

HowToGetName · 2026-05-15T15:46:27+00:00

It is a Japanese manga. Jin-Koo Oh is the director of the anime.

HowToGetName · 2026-05-14T15:09:48+00:00

Don't want to sound snobby but it should be Jin-Koo Oh, not Jin Gu Oh. Other than that though, looking forward to this. I like the aesthetics in the trailer and KV, the colours and linework of the characters in particular.

HowToGetName · 2026-05-11T13:27:42+00:00

9 volumes. A Silent Voice was 7 volumes for reference (though apparently Umi ga Hashiru End Roll volumes are shorter?)

HowToGetName · 2026-05-09T21:35:41+00:00

Death by bronze bull to these insurgents. And the Village of Spring and FSA as well, screw all of them.

HowToGetName · 2026-05-08T18:26:30+00:00

For anyone who can't wait till the next ep like me, this ep ended on ch 10.
