Right before Namari and the Tansu party appeared, I asked who of the main four character were peoples favorites. Izu wasn’t yet in Laio’s party, no-one knew about Marcy’s less than legal hobbies, and Senshi seemed like a simple wise old man. And Falin, while not present, wasn’t yet a chimeric murderbeast.

We are halfway in the story. Although they only appeared in a few scenes, the appearance of the elven special forces, the Canaries, means all major characters have been introduced.

So who’s your favorite now?

PS: Is anyone interested in picking up the manga? I am thinking about replacing the weekly episode discussions with manga read/reread discussions. Starting from chapter 1, and running in-between seasons, past chapter 52 if the wait ends up that long.

      The first season ended just past the midway point in terms of numbers, on chapter 52/97. That would leave a second season with 1.9 chapters to adapt per episode, assuming it is again 24 episodes. This season started off adapting three chapters per episode, then dropped to two for most of it. That pace remained extremely consistent.

      The manga chapters grow very narratively substantial in the last third of the series, so there are definitely chapters coming up that would fill a whole episode on their own. So in terms of content it would be fair to say we are at about half.

      So yes, there’s definitely content left for a bigger and even better second season.
