Of course there is more fanservice in an anime than a light novel, one is written text with like five pictures per volume the other is a fully visual medium.

Of course I'm gonna complain about fanservice, because barely any good LN gets away without it and manages to sell well.
The buyers back there seem to give more preference (most of times) to stories filled with fanservice, leaving some good stories to rot away simply because they don't have enough food for thought, if you know what I mean.
And it's not simply 5 illustrations per volume, it varies from LN to LN, from no illustrations to 10 of them per volume, in the least.

Back to LN discussion, but has anyone gotten hold of volume 15 spoilers? I'm pretty sure a lot of people from the Chinese forums have read it at this point, just wondering if someone would have gotten hold of it around here.

I'm just curious how the story ended and what ended up being the endgame or the "last boss" so to speak (the first part at least, since that's what the author said)

I found by chance a link for the illustrations of volume 15 :

Spoiler for Spoiler ? likely not:

i don't know really many things but Avrora seems be alive again. But according the tranlation of summary, the first primogenitor should appear. I don't hope, because if it is the case, he did not even have a color illustration.

[Sacredus]

That second to last illustration... need spoilers ASAP (Asagi and La Foila are my favorite girls in this series)!

Spoiler:

Vol09, 11 & 12?!
What the heck?!
What about Vol10?

[Toullaty]

I am also surprised. I would place my bet about the volume 10.

But let's see the things with a positive side. We know almost nothing of these two volumes. This will be an opportunity to discover them before the novels releases.

[RDNexus]

What about Vol10? Any reason for being skipped?
And 2/3 episodes per volume this time? Rush?

Don't be pessimistic. Remember, We are talking about OVAs. We still don't know how long they will be. It could span from 25-45 minutes. That's the reason why there is no need yet and say things like rushing .

[RDNexus]

How long were the first two OVAs? I don't remember.
I'm quite sure these ones won't be longer than those.

If I remember correctly they were around 25 minutes, but this has nothing to say.

[RDNexus]

Oh, but it actually says a lot... Unfortunately...
I'm not looking at it with rose-tinted glasses, reality always bends towards the worst expectations.
I'm pretty sure of it, all episodes won't be longer than normal airing-time episodes.

[AP24]

So they're skipping Vol 10 too!? Isn't that volume kind of important? If I remember Kojou unlocked a kenjuu in that volume with Kanon's blood. There were also other stuff but I forgot.

Yes, he did. #1 Prote-Mesarthim-Adamas. If there is no surprise, we will probably get no Chaos Bride. It's stupid, that she has no image. I really want to know how Jade looks like.

[tsunade666]

ugh.. the strongest Kenjuu not being shown? WTF!!!

[sandhy88]

It's seem that OVA just showing the main story (About Avrora) coz Chaos Bride doesn't has connection with her and Kojou didn't get new harem member (or is he get the ninja? that has a camcorder).

[tsunade666]

the battle with the 3rd and 4th is something I would like to see! but they aren't animating it. Its void/3rd kenjuu of the 4th vs the kenjuu of the 3rd.

[n0m@n]

Oh, so they already revealed what volumes will be adapted huh.
Volume 9, 11, and 12.
I think I can see where the studio is going with this.
Since volume 11 & 12 is one story it actually doesn't suprise me that volume 11 is 2 episodes and volume 12 is 3 episodes.

But I sure did want to see volume 8 adapted into anime lol. The author actually shortened the volume 8 content since it would have been 4 volumes long if he went with how it was originally supposed to be. I actually wouldnt have minded that. Would have made the last scene even more saddening.

[Ruki0089]

Hey, i heard Kojou and La Folia had twins daughter, Sheila and Meila... Is that true?
