Normally I wouldn't mind it, but since the novel is in editing and I hope to release it soon, I'd rather not spoil something that'll be available for everyone to read. I also don't want to spoil anything related to the anime that may pop up (though given the direction they're going, it'll be vastly different).

The novel's translation was finished at the end of May. 10 weeks is "soon" by that time frame. I'm weighing the options of allowing speculation in the thread versus lack of spoilers from no one reading the novel. Then again, it might take that long for it to be edited (it's in process).
As for the anime versus the LN, imagine seeing the characters you know well in a brand new setting. That's how I feel. I know them, but I don't know exactly what's going to happen (though my guesses have turned out to be fairly accurate). There are things, like Rikka's eye resonating in front of Yuuta, that are similar, but the context is different. In the novel, that's their first interaction while they met the night before in the anime. Also, to accommodate the whole "moving" aspect that isn't in the novel, KyoAni bumped the series to April where the novel takes place in late Mayish. There were rumors going around about Rikka in the novel, but she's a new student in the anime. Yuuta studied very hard to get into a school that few people from his middle school could get into so he wouldn't be around people who knew his chuunibyou antics, but anime!Yuuta just went to a far school. Similar, yet different. (You'll read all of this by 2/3rds of the way through chapter 1, so I don't feel like it's too spoilery. Plus it allows me to compare/contrast the two forms.)

I've watched the first couple of episodes of the anime and while I've enjoyed it, I really can't get into Rikka that much. She really comes off as delusional and insane. It kills my suspension of disbelief considering it's otherwise a normal world they live in. If they showed something where she knows it isn't real, but is trying to escape reality, then I'd probably be able to wrap my head around it better. But considering they portray it as if she actually sees it like it's real, it just makes me think she should be in a looney bin. I'll have to check out the novels to see if I enjoy it any more.

I've been thinking of buying the LNs, but then I saw the price tag. Are they really that pricey? They are listed at 1250 yen each on amazon.jp, more than a Horizon novel, while still having the same length as a normal LN.

Think I'll ask Kino to order them or something, once my exams end, if not, I'll do as you advised. Definitely looking forward to it, if the LN is as amusing as the anime (Like the inane stuff that the Jaoushingan and her First Servant get up to, +1 to the imagination battles(mousou batoru?)).

I'm curious if Kino can order them. I know their JP branches don't carry the novel, so I'm not sure if they'll be able to order them. Keep in mind that right now they're pretty much sold out online (both at JBOOK and at KyoAni) so you might have to wait for them to get back in stock. I'm glad to see a lot of interest in them.

We saw at her absolute worst, when panicked about her secret coming out. We've seen her at an artificial best, when she pretends to be the ideal student. I think both of these don't represent the "real" her, and I expect we'll see her in a better light soon. And I think she'll eventually regret how harsh she was toward Yuuta in ep. 4. I assume this may be closer to her character in the novels.

After looking at the character page on KyoAni's site, I noticed a few things.
Are Sanae and Kumin anime original characters? I don't see them on the page, while I do see a character that hasn't appeared in the anime: Satone Shichimiya. |
