English release
The English release of the booklet is essentially all three booklets combined into one, but is much shorter than the Japanese releases being only 112 pages in total. The "Key Animations" chapters are largely cut out from the English release and the "Credits" chapters are much shorter. The English release also completely lacks the light novel chapter excerpts as well as the exclusive interviews with anime scriptwriter Toshiya Ono, composer Takahiro Obata, character design/chief animation director Kazuaki Shimada, manga author Kaiu Shirai and illustrator Posuka Demizu, the Japanese voice of Isabella and the exclusive Q&A with the Japanese voices of Krone, Don, Gilda and Phil. Although it contains the interviews with director Mamoru Kanbe and the Japanese and English voices of Emma, Ray, and Norman, they are much shorter in the English release.
