Bibliophile Princess

Summary from MAL: "For as long as she could read, Elianna Bernstein—more commonly known as the "Bibliophile Princess"—has preferred the company of books to that of people. However, as a noble, it is her duty to find a suitor. Fortunately for her, Crown Prince Christopher Selkirk Asherald proposes a deal: He will protect her free time, and, in exchange, Elianna will be his fiancée in name only. The years they spend together are bliss, as Elianna learns to open herself to others. But all good things must come to an end. For Elianna, who loves books more than people, ending their fake relationship should be no big deal. But as Christopher grows close with another girl, Elianna begins to realize that she is not as indifferent to him as she once thought.

Mushikaburi-hime, or Bibliophile Princess, is definitely a personal favorite of some of the staff members, and so far Madhouse has delivered with the adaptation. Getting all the stages of the workflow in order for the series took the usual longer period of time for the first episode, but now that that is done hopefully we will be able to step up the pace. Ep 02 was already sent to QC, and ep 03 is being worked on. The season especially has seen a decent number of series that seem to have multiple poor sources, and finding a single decent quality stream has proven tough for many of the airing series. Often encoders have had to "cut and paste" from diff sources and then apply filter scripts to that end result. Fortunately for the case of this series the best general quality overall/all-rounder wise for this series seems to be from ADN, and fortunately it is ripped directly. Hopefully the BDs will be better, but this was the source we were suggested to use for the moment.
