An always entertaining show and one I’m extremely happy and surprised to see another season of. If there are anyone out there who may be reading the light novels, is the anime faithful and is it worth a read?

Up to date with the latest eng LN, the first season was faithful when it comes to Sasaki and Pi-chan, however, they skipped the secondary characters' POV. It's not really unusual as such scenes are hard to adapt in anime, but in this very case it made the first season rather blank compared to its original work. In my opinion they should have at least kept the Neighbor’s POV, which are incredibly mind-blowing to read, so yes I would recommend reading the LN if you liked the anime.

Thanks! Getting to the end of a couple LN's and looking for another series. The neighbor shows up so infrequently I'm curious about her and her situation.

Did any one ask Crunchyroll IF there are ever going to ramp up Blu-ray production again? Really missing it…

Sequel seasons tend to be major reminders of how much Crunchyroll has not put on disc since they tend to show up after when we'd have seen a physical release of the first season from Funimation.

Those were the days. I really miss what we had before the merger…..
