That rezero s3 release schedule is wild but if it’s effective to give it proper pacing and what not I’m all for it
8 episode per cour with 2 month break in between
Some episodes longer than other

Wistoria: Wand and Sword Episode 8

This episode adapted chapters 11 and around half of 12. It was more of a setup episode to set up the next arc. One thing I have noticed is that Emma name gets mentioned, which wasn't the case in the manga.

I feel so bad for Colette. Granted, the date came out because everyone wanted Will to join them. Colette always did have Will all to herself for the most part, but never was able to capitalize on it from what we know. Given all the clues describing Rosti and Will's friendship and how they have been so close since knowing each other. It makes pretty obvious who Rosti is.

Lihanna giving off heavy Ais vibes of being the top in her class, but an airhead. For Lihanna there is one interesting thing where she ambitions to seek to become a Magia Vander and the fact she called all 4 of the mages present are leftovers. This perhaps gives an indication sure advancing the tower is one thing, but becoming a Magia Vander will be quite the task in itself. At the very least, she is very diligent, and her motivations are clear.

Similar to Lihanna Wignall brings a different dynamic. He doesn't mention what he thinks of Will, but he has some valid points. Lihanna tops him in the school and at the very least he has to respect her position to recruit Will even if she doesn't really explain why she wants him in the group. Also, Sion & Julius looking down on Will humors him since Will bested both of them. Like Lihanna he seems very logical, though he does seem to have more of a personality than her. Interesting group and obviously, Colette had to include herself.

Started watching OnK S2 since there is only a month left in the season.

First impression compared to S1 where the adapted was good. The only complaint was that it was too 1:1 to the manga. Which is fine, but it didn't give S1 the spark that series like Frieren, Monogatari, 86, etc. all had. The fact they are using the anime medium much better is really good.



One of the big topics that any manga will find interesting is how when adapting stories to a different medium and what happens. Usually adapting manga into anime and vice versa is a natural transition. We see it more commonly in anime when Ln get adapted in anime. You can't continue all the monologues and need to figure out what to cut.

In OnK S2 Ep 1 there is the focus on Akane noticing that the character that she will play, Princess Saya greatly differs in the script of the stage play to what she is in the manga.

However, like I mentioned how sacrifices need to be made when adapting Ln → anime the same goes for manga → stage play. Runtime is a key component and every second counts. This is more important than lets say a movie. It is a delicate situation.

However, an actor's complaints can fall on deaf ears. As they can provide suggestions, but things might not happen. However, any adaptation requires the original's creators approval. This can be a mixed bag. Some authors just hand wave it as running a weekly manga is enough of a headache. The other extreme is what OnK S2 provides that with Abiko-sensei mentioning she wants revisions. Which can bring a massive headache.
