| Last couple of episodes have been better, and I am thinking of improving my rating. Still find a lot of the cast outside the main characters to be generic and forgettable. More episodes like this where there's less focus on moving the story forward and a bit more time spent on these more minor characters will help though. Claudia seems like she'll be a good addition. |
| While this episode was mostly a SoL-type there was a scene that showed Monica's father being burned at the stake, damn how the heck did it turn out like that?? Also, I wonder who threw away Monica's tea, it's probably the girl that got in trouble after shoving Monica down the stairs but the only other person that knew the tea was there was Casey... I hope she didn't do it. |
| That girl Claudia, she's pretty, but she acts a bit strange. I would like to see more of her in the future I got mad that they made Monica cry... I'm glad that she was able to serve coffee to her friends and they liked it :') |

so this is the secret of the silent witch 😃🫨😲
| @DavidMahomes2014 It says secrets....PLURAL. What's not mentioned so far is that her surname Everett is That's chiefly her secret. |

| The tea ceremony can sure be awkward when you're shy... and in the end she brought coffee but that's much better than tea lol. The dances were pretty cute but she couldn't stop thinking about her spells ahah |

| It's such a sweet anime, every episode is amazing. |
| Honestly, this is extremely boring as a show so far, and it's also kind of incompetent from a directorial perspective with how jarring the cuts are between episodes and how disconnected everything feels: you shouldn't make your audience feel like they've missed an episode every week by just jumping into something completely random and unrelated. It doesn't feel like the premise is really being utilised at all and that it's just being used as a canvas for slow-paced, boring slice-of-life shenanigans. Also, I don't understand the brief flashback we got this episode: if this is a universe where magic openly exists in a way that everyone is aware, why does what appears to be a witch trial (or at least an execution borrowing the visual iconography of one) happen in this universe? That makes no sense in a world like this, but it adds another layer to the mystery box of our titular character I guess, though I find it hard to get excited about that when I don't trust the show to resolve any of the mysteries it's setting up. |
| That poor girl can't catch a break. |
| Tea party is my favourite scene so far. Good to see Monica didn't panic and handled the situation well. Also defended Lana. Claudia girl doesn't seem half bad either imo. "All thanks to prince's broch"😭😭 |
| ANOTHER great episode who did that to her she was funny at the end lol |

| If there is romance in this show at some point, i would hope it be Cyril for Monica. Felix' type of character usually doesn't give me much. |
| I love each episode so much man. I just love how each episode, Monica's character grows. It really shows that shes becoming more comfortable around everyone and its great. Shes still struggling with talking to people though but thats expected. The girl with black hair at the tea party was an ass though, didn't like her attitude. 5/5 |
| That was a cute episode. We danced with both our boys. Tea parties are so extra lmao |
 |
| that was a good ep and funny :D that generic bully is being so generic that it doesnt make sense. how is her being an asshole all monica's fault? no one really understands the silent witch :D |

| I wouldn't be surprised to find that it wasn't Team Mean Girls who through Monica's tea in the garbage. There's something about the horse girl that I just don't trust for some reason. |
| It was hilarious to see her saying she can dance because of his bros not him XD |

| She can dance like a princesse but only if you have a wonderful broche! Monica and Felix is very the perfect couple ! |
 |
| It was a good episode, but like others have already said, they're really jumping straight into things and hoping the audience keeps up. I'm not sure why they've decided on such a breakneck pace, maybe they think they won't get a second season so they're trying to do as much of the story as possible? Maybe they're hoping people will buy the LNs to see all the parts they omitted? Still, it could be worse, they could do what Your Forma did and just skip the entire first LN and expect people to know what's going on. 🙄 |
| ok whoever said this anime is carried by high production value are probably idiots. sure the story seems simple, but anyone with any experience in reading or watching anime properly would have realized immediately the amount of hidden clues and foreshadowing they put behind every cut. this is the very example of a story well-told, and the characters are all very lovable, too. it explains how it was even able to get proper support in the form of high production value, in the first place. only because the quality of the material was truly good, and it wasn't just some dumb hype from the masses, that it was given the love and support it received from the production side of the anime. ps.: besides: "high production value" is a bit of an idiot's illusion on how anime is made. what important is love, which is something shown through efforts and time given. |

Can someone spoil me in dms about Monica's dad I really want to know
| @yamiyugi101 Just read the light novels, will be explained in Volume 3. |

@NewestPersonHere I plan to i was just curious
yamiyugi101 said: I plan to i was just curious It is better to read the novels. Silent Witch is a series that focuses more on character development, harder to have a proper adaptation. Monica's father plays a huge role in the story, such as Monica's decision making when dealing with Prince Felix and the Duke. |

@NewestPersonHere so is the anime bad then?

| I remember when I completed my mandatory courses on dance. Can relate to doing something else than paying attention to whatever it was the instructor, that my family was paying for, was screaming at me. When I zoned the fuck out. Or woke up as the last seat. Smaller than everyone else. For the only female-male to female pairing in the entire multi year group. Which meant our dance was a spotlight. And made everyone else look like they did in fact step on each other the whole time. Something about the smol couple. Able to actually be paired. Who can run through literally everything used in competitions. Without stopping (because smol) to break or have a loss of focus. So... Like with Monica. You wake up having actually failed the class. You now are the most intelligent "dunce". And the competency but likely high stress associated with said tempo. Just makes the teacher look like the failure. But theres a reason you continue to pay a master. Thats just dance. Tbh... I also led my partner to literally count steps. As I looked the dances that I didn't; recall lessons for. Up on truly knowledgeable sources. (Wikipedia) Which meant we, me and her smol couple, never spoke but communicated entirely with head and eye motions. Indicating numerals. As thats how Monica here probably would have done it. If she'd gone to the library prior to this exam. Something I didn't do either. Because nobody got time for that, can't find the textbook when you forgot to setup your college account. Am I right? Therefore this episode had a lot of little indications. To anyone who has actually been there. In her place. And I had to pause stream multiple times. Because of that. Like Monica knows about the numbers by the music. So you can 100% just muscle memory, without ever moving, prior to performance. Ie causing you to fail a purely practical dance required mandatory. As you'll just stubbornly make the master look good. When you and your only partner, due to size. And traits. (Possibly bc other parents didn't want their children being considered in the running for partner status. As that would be tough to move forward with a relationship in their opinion. Heard more than a few let the girls pair up than I could count there) So you either evaluate each other by peer review. What is shown in this episode. Or you, both, fail that lacking peers to switch with. And a general requirement for you to do it all live. As your making the entire thing SUS. By being too good, and too smol, cannot be tiny and that competent. You start to be suspected as a non-child. Which was kind of hilarious to see here. She's so known to be competent. Its 100% believable child things. Even though we also glean reference to her being at least 1-5 years older. And roughly an entire undergraduate level of education as well. But having that in the same context as dance. Is showing how there is as existing a usually age neutral. But socially denominable preclusion to competency in its mastery. Ie the tiny child. Is unbelieved. In its ability to have a musician's ear.... And... Uh, royale heritage. That allowed it, and probably its similarly excluded from participating partner. To have simply never been allowed to dance. But maybe have taken and tested on historiography of music from European theater. Which meant unless your a grad student, no; you will never be capable of randomly telling them a part. And then there's us. Probably too much of a pain to be playing outside et al. Probably studying magic or counting sheep in a prison cell like Monica here. You know normal peasants target you and modern society protects by simply handing you a game boy. And expecting you to go be autistic elsewhere. What do you think occurs. When those children are paired? When they no longer get to have that game boy? When they can no longer play animal crossing? While quietly awaiting their turn? Not needing sound to play a game. Nor allowing a crowd to observe their play. At the end of the hall. The last seat. And therefore the star of the show. Waiting for the appropriate queue. To put their professional ear protection in. And finish the mission? Well you get a couple of Monica's. Having to be carried out dazed and probably nauseous. Too many class hours clocked. Too many times taking turns walking face first into sliding doors. Or, I think her, probably puking and such. Certain types can only handle certain things. Physiologically. Within a normal degree of reason. High society dance. Is absolutely not a "reasonable" environment. Its a performant one. A good way to show whos who on base level qualifications. For special service in high stress environments. The Monica's as here. They excel. They are "scary" to the "normal" lower ranking members of such society. Ie the ones whos blood and congeniality. Does not usually determine ability to fight at all. Certainly not make a cut for actual special type selection by family line. As historically prominent (and relevant here) to basically everything in Europe. If you were a Royal. You probably could dance like Monica. Probably have had members of your family actually have their books burned. (Feels that vibe each time it cutscenes to it) And likely survived based on your ability to combat plebs on the dance floor. Off be it some inner or related ear development. That hurt you as much as any other medical issue. Just as being intelligent keeps pitchforks at your throat, and makes it tough to nerd out about something on a blackboard. I'm just glad most people. Watch things like this. And do realize how far we've come. Because it was most people. Who got me past the real threats of this type of trauma. Which having even a single peasant light a fire, is well enough for you to be burned. Everyone else. Will happily believe this is all based on underlying fantasy. Instead of a serious amount of education. With a well authored outline. To drive exposure to a large amount of actually still banned history, in many historically guilty nations, going back 500-700 years. At least in a European context. Hardly pertinent in the modern day. But I've met those my age who grew up in a very small world. With a people that numbers millions. In nations that are 5-10 times my owns age. Whom expressed wisdom and gratitude because they got to learn of age old frenemies. Through things like anime. And never even had to abandon their homeland. To move forward. It might not make sense. But to a subset of the population who make up the nobility and royal blood. Famous season after season in anime. These little things matter. And the high production value expressed here. Gives a lot of recognizable focus and emotional expression. That is suited to this genre. As that flair is welcome universally and expected. So done realistically. Having lived it. Is something that keeps me engaged. And smiling. |

| So jewelry....the answer is always jewelry. |

| LOL, MC so cute. Even when she gets bullied at the Tea Party, she still comes out positive. . And the Dancing... this is pretty much like all the guys courting her. And funny that she danced "instinctly" by focusing on the Brooch. HAHAHA . BTW... whatever happened to previous episode's magic testing? Didn't MC mentioned that other guy had over 250+ magic rating? but nothing happened? you would think the school would make it a big event about it, since 150+ is Sage level, 250+ is probably Master or higher, lol. As a note, MC is 200+... |

| I wish i could have a cat massage like monica lol. Cute episode, she improved her social skills again. I love lana and casey supporting monica. And i'll never get tired of the occasional villainess act from isabelle. But I guess they kinda skip some things and made this a more peaceful episode. |
| Yeah there's something I don't like about the prince's attitude sometimes, with lines like "You'll live up to my expectations, won't you?" and "Was chatting with me something unnecessary?", I just get vibes that he has such a big ego that he assumes everyone likes him and wants to please him because he's so great, which makes sense for a prince, but still. It's like he's pressuring Monica and being a little passive-aggressive with her? idk. I know I'm not caught up on the newest episodes but at this point I definitely prefer Cyril. Or maybe Monica should just date her cat. lol |
| boring episode can't wait to shit hits the fan caues this holding hands kiddy stuff getting old. |
