Great. Now we just have to wait for Signs of Love, Sasaki to Pii-chan, Frieren and Shangri-La to announce their sequels. These are the shows that were the main discoveries for me during these seasons.

Fantastic news. Is it being greedy to hope that we will get several more so that the other important characters get introduced properly ? I want to see Enen, Chue and Yao, among others.

@Zefyris me to but it is indeed greedy to hope for now as they will need at least 3 more seasons for it. I am glad that we at least see Shisui in action and the ending of this story arc.

Of course, and why not. Been such a great adaptation after all.

Though if they'll go with 2 volumes per season again, there's plenty to wait for a LOT of things lol.

While I'm not familiar with the LNs this show is based on, I couldn't resist checking out how many volumes had been released by the time the first season of this anime reached its final episode, and how many of them were adapted. I was really surprised that 24 episodes adapted only the two first volumes. I mean, I'm not complaining, of course. Faithful and polished anime adaptation is always welcome to see; and the more source material to adapt, the better. It's just, I didn't expect so many volumes to be waiting for an anime adaptation, haha.

If the next adaptations are gonna be engaging and great as this first season I can't wait for more! The main characters are lovable ones, the main story is intriguing and the mysteries are catching you up each time after another. Also the quality of the animation, the music set, the top charming openings and endings,the good work of the seiyuus chosen and the fact that everything is set around nobility, historic age and poisonous threatening, can we ask for more? Because we even get fanservice and comedy with lighthearted moments too. Sincerely one of the best I saw in a while, I pray for this masterpiece kind of content every year, now that we received it, please continue delivering it, entertainment drugs are real, lol.
