We already know the anime has 12 episodes and 3 episodes equivalents to one novel volume with how they're going.

Would that mean the anime would animate volume 4's sidestories before animating v3's Silvio Gospel arc?

Here's what I think.

Spoiler for Contains spoiler:

Well, they could do that, but since the timeline for the side stories in vol.4 takes place after the event of Vol.3, most stories in vol.4 referes to events in vol.3.

On top of that, some of the mjor events in vol.4 are the direct result of something that happened in vol.3, so if they wanted to put Vol.4 stories before Vol.3 contents, they would have to go through a lot of trouble.

For an example, in one of the stories in Vol.4, the 5 heroines consider Chihuyu a rival because of what she said in Vol.3.
Another example is Houki's state of mind in a Vol.4 story that is caused by prior events, and the most significant one occurs in Vol.3.

Personally, I can't think of a way to make those stories fit nicely if they happen do vol.4 before vol.3...



They don't necessarily have to confine each volume to equal number of episode.

And I just realized that vol.2 (The original Japanese version) is a lot thicker than the other volumes... perhaps Vol.2 could be 4 episode long?


Maybe they would do it this way.

Vol.1 -> EP01~03
Vol.2 -> EP04~07
Vol.3 -> EP08~10
Vol.4 -> EP11~12 (Vol.04 features 4 short stories, so they could do 2 stories for each episode, divided by intermission.
