The Iseki show Ascendance of a Bookworm won for December's show. My kind of show- ALL THE BOOKS!

I love this anime, it’s so relaxing to watch! And I love how much detail they put into each step Myne takes towards getting books, with all the trial and error involved.

I went and binged the first season. It was definitely a very light hearted casual watch. I did enjoy it and will likely finish the next two seasons this week as well. The final episode did pick up the pace and action a little but with only 4 minutes left in the season.

Adorable characters and great music helped make up for the slower pacing. Unfortunately the great music did not extend to the OP and ED songs in my opinion.

I like the fact that a lot of light novels are now getting translated along with the manga and anime adaptations. I really want to watch this, but I am in the middle of Harley Quinn right now

Well I finished all 3 seasons (36 episodes) and want more. Dang it. So the anime covers the first 7 books I suppose I could start reading at book 8 but I don’t think I’d be able to bring myself to do that. That and I’ve been so tied up in other hobbies lately that I’ve barely been reading/listening to regular novels. Ah well.

I enjoyed the series it was kind of a slow burn especially during the first season. The 2nd arc of the story (season 2-3) were a little more exciting particularly the last few episodes of season 3.
