Comment on Winter 2025 Anime Season Kickoff and General Discussion Thread [2025, Week 01]

Well, at least it wasn’t the cynical attempt to establish a franchise that I took it to be. It really felt to me like the entire point of that season in the long run was simply to create a demand for season 2.
I might have to look into the LN, because I liked the story well enough until I figured out that we weren’t getting any sort of resolution of anything, and the petty contrarian in me kicked in.

For what it’s worth, J-Novel Club has the license for the LNs. They’ve published 13 volumes in ebook and (unusually, for them) 12 in paperback. The translation is decent overall, but they don’t keep careful enough track of the setting’s lore from volume to volume and end up translating some terms inconsistently, and there are occasional outright grammar bodges (something I am regrettably sensitive to). They need a better editor.
