Silver Sword was popular after volume 7 for quite a while. There's one artist (Kazuya is the translated name) that was particularly fond of it, and released multiple SS comics. A handful of them were translated on the Chinese and English fandoms, even. I was going to buy one fanbook, appropriately titled Silver Sword Book (2, because I missed my chance to get the first one). I haven't gotten it yet because it's a whopping $22 without shipping/tax, and it's not a terribly large amount of pages either. I wonder if Tet has any flying mounts. There's the Griffons, which are extremely rare; Wyverns, which only Woodstock has been seen using (apparently he's very fond of it); and the Giant Owl, which Charasin has and was not seen in the anime (to my knowledge). And yeah, if we're supposedly getting twelve LH for the twelve classes, I'd like them to all be equally fleshed out. Nyanta and Tetora are still basically mysteries.

Oh yeah, Kayu. I was completely confused as to why we saw him in episode 11 when the messenger to the Round Table came, since all he was doing was fishing.

Kanami hasn't changed much personality-wise, but she's matured enough to actually take care of her child (and makes for a rather doting parent). In all honesty, given how much she dumped responsibility on other people, I wouldn't have been surprised if she lost her kid and then forgot. Luckily for the daughter, Kanami hasn't done that. Yet. Or maybe she has, but her husband was there for her.

I've seen too many stupid comments on tumblr and the Wiki alone. By now, I've given up on being patient and immediately just say something snappy when I see such comments. (So many people've asked if ET was a real game ... I just started deleting the comments after a while, before deciding to add "fictional" in the first sentence of the page. Not that it stops people, because apparently reading is not what Wikis are for.)

This is Tet's name's spelling in volume 7's character summary page. Next to her is Demiqas' name, which is how we found out that his name's spelled with a Q instead of a K. Miraculously, William Massachusetts is spelled completely correctly. (Also, one of these days, I want to learn about how this kid chose his username.) Just because of the way I read things naturally, I don't read Tetra as being pronounced Tet-ra, I read it as Tetch-ra (like you would read "betray" or "trace"), which is part of why I prefer Tetora. It makes it more obvious that it's a hard T sound.

When I looked stuff up (on Google Translator, which even properly reads it as Libra), Libra is written the same way as 'scale', but has another character after it. Said character was written on the flyer Mari threw into their faces, so it was honestly probably just a case of the translator not knowing that the other character changed the word from 'Scale' to 'Libra'.

I've never actually checked YP's other light novel translations, so it makes me wonder if the same person is translating multiple series. If that's the case, it would make sense for them to not have the time to double-check things; and since we don't know how much communication goes on between Kadokawa and YP, we don't know how things on their side work.

Here's a visual reference for the differences in the kids' art styles. That I have to update really badly, but shhhhh. It's a pity that all the translation projects for the manga series are dead. I've accumulated quite a number of raws, but there's no one to translate them.

Nyanta's Fortune Recipes is probably the most consistent with the LN, if only because they always focus on off-screen events, although that also leads to incredibly strange timeskips.

Yeah, Tet's scenario was really weird, especially because I'm pretty sure Mamare wrote that one himself, too. She allegedly went raiding with them over to Susukino (or followed them; perhaps she didn't actually join the group?). However, Vuorinen didn't know of her until volume 7, which ... honestly shouldn't happen. My theories:
 * 1) Tet didn't go raiding with them, just followed them around
 * 2) Because SS had 200+ members back then, a number of SS' current raiding group weren't part of William's 'inside group' and were more distant members. They're just the ones that persevered despite the constant deaths, and thus became William's 'inside group'. (Also to note is that Silver Sword actually still retains a number of its members, they just quit raiding. I think the anime just didn't show them because they needed to save money.)
 * 3) Tet followed them for a bit, went off somewhere else, then came back to Susukino, where William was
