I would. Anime is just not truthful enough and skips too many stuff compared to the novels. Specially the second season.
If anime would have been following novels at least decent enough then yeah skipping might be a good idea, but sadly second season does such a crappy work on following novels that its simply out of question to skip that since you would be missing some important points from the novels later on. |

Then again, I'm going crazy thinking that I'd have to wait until 2012 to read novel 8, considering the emotional impact that volume has Plus there's people like me who can't read a word of japanese, and I really don't wanna miss out on any of the novels... Quote:
Maybe I'm just not understanding why people are against having a translation of volume 8 done earlier. |

Eh, some people just have a fixation of chronological or numerical order.
I took a really vague summary of 8, know nothing of 9 and 10, got a good summary of 11 and 12 and am currently waiting for a summary of 13. Since the translations are way back in the single digits, I will be waiting a while. |

Phew, finally done with all of the volumes.
Spoiler for thoughts on volumes 7-13:
Spoiler for a few character thoughts:
There was a short one posted pages back, but here's a longer one from me now that I'm done with the volume: Spoiler for volume 13 summary:
Last thing: If someone from Baka-Tsuki is here, two corrections on the titles: The Flame Red Jewel of Atonement --> The Ruby of Atonement It does indeed say "Flame Red Jewel", but the furigana above the kanji says "Ruby". I guess it's more of a translator's choice. The Door of the Holy Land --> The Holy Country's World Door/The World Door of the Holy Country 聖国の世界扉 This is more of a mistake. 国=Country 世界扉=Definitely is "World Door"

-Defeat Joseph -Revelation of the "Holy Land" -Elves -Pope and his idiotic plan -Saito and his world Also, the author says that there is still more to go for the series in the afternotes. Of course, he doesn't necessarily have to go through it all. Though I do want the series to end with Saito going back and staying in his world. Though from the end of volume 13 (since Saito didn't actually go back to his world yet), possibly: -Saito goes back to his world and comes back <--...Kind of don't want this... -Saito stays in his world and the story focuses on the remaining characters -Julio lies and Saito doesn't make it back to his world <--Why is it that this seems likely... -The World Door doesn't work/Pope does something...
