It’s definitely by far my favorite this season, and is also just one of my favorites in general. I’ve been following the manga since fairly early on (probably chapter 10ish?) but I’ve reread it a few times because there’s so many details jam-packed in early (and really all) chapters that are easy to miss on a first read that you can realize on a second (or third or fourth) read-through are actually subtle plot and character building elements and that really amplify later developments in the series. Suffice to say I was a tad ecstatic for this to get animated at all and am overjoyed that it wasn’t just a “one season to promote the manga and then we’re done” sort of deal.

I did the same exact thing. It makes me sad be a use I’m all caught up and just can’t wait for more!
