If they ended it there, we getting a movie on his trip to save his mom and him bringing Roxy back . I don’t see the studio not going that route with how the story evolves once Old Rudy pops up
I forgot about part 1 part 2 format they're using, so nevermind. The next two turning points should definitely fit in S2 and there shouldn't be a long turnaround between them when "that" encounter is the highlight of the whole season. Can't wait for that as I can already imagine the reactions to what happens.
On the topic of movies though, they could do something on Eris and her training apart from Rudeus. Maybe not a film but an OVA series dedicated to just that.
I haven't been able to start reading yet since I'm still waiting for Vol 1 & 2 to arrive. Basically, I have heard that the content of S2 would be a lot slower and S3 will give us peak moments like S1 did.
The SoL moments were very well done back in Eris's home and in the village during S1. I def see the connection to the cast making it feel more impactful for most people then if they were to watch a more typical SoL show.
Outside of the development of Sylph & Rudeus, one of the best things about this arc are the new characters who become vital moving forward. There are personalities that may have irritated you upon introduction that will become favorites by the end. Its exceptionally well handled.
