Animation is really good. Pacing and character introduction keep you glued to the very end.

Great episode, i love the MC and chara designs are really cool even if they are the same as 50% of good looking animes. Op and Ed are crazy cuz they are made by hitsujibungaku.

Wow, this was beautiful. Never thought I'd this as much as I did, but it was incredible. The music was very, very good, the piano and strings during the books floating scene really got to me and I'm not an emotional person.

Damn, not really sure what else to say, but I think I want to find more shows like this.💕

I really enjoyed this first episode. At one point I even felt the anxiety of the silent witch. I hope the next episode will be even better.

I didn't expect the anime to be such in nice quality, be in visual and premise.

MC is basically using her own social anxiety to do what other mages can't do, cool ^.^

Only a few seconds in there is that long exposition about the general settings.
That screamed lazy writing.
And the next few minutes confirmed it.
It's garbage.

Bocchi the rock meets truck-kun and gets her reincarnated in a world of magic, basically.

Loving it!

Other characters seem fun too.

The comparisons of Monica to Bocchi are funny but also kind of accurate with Monica being very shy, to the point that she learned to use unchanted magecraft! I came into this series blind and not having read any of the source material but this first episode had high production values and I hope that it stays that way throughout.

Regarding Louis, he had mentioned that he is on the 1st prince's team but was requested by the king to guard the 2nd prince. I'm thinking the reason for that setup will come out later as I'm curious to find out why the king did that.

It was the Fibonacci sequence. She was on the 30th number, 832040, when Louis interrupted her.

The first episode is fine but it doesn't impress that much. I don't need a narrator explaining to me Monica pursuing silent incantation because she too anxious to chant out loud in front of others. I hope they cut out this dumb spoonfeeding.

Monica is very cute and adorable though and the anime is pulling off her reactions really well.

How is the redhead Sage enforcing an order to the Silent Sage? Does she get any benefits from being a Sage that forces her to do what the Sages or whoever are above them want? Because it feels like the redhead sage guy was forcing what he wanted on her and that she is a pushover, which despite making sense is weak writing.

So Monica is one of the Seven Sages, but she is the greatest witch in the Kingdom of Ridill because she can cast spells without speaking, right? Does that mean she's the greatest of the seven?

The first episode was funny. I don't know why but the King is a bit suspicious.. there's no way he would hurt his own son... right? Unless...

Maybe they'll change their mind to not kill dragons if they meet Hiccup and Toothless. It's so cursed to see them just floating in the air without the magic broom lol.

they combined the "super shy antisocial girl" trope, that was in the hype some seasons ago, and the more recent hype trope "teenager witch"

Seems like a Bocchi meets Mushoku Tensei meets Violet Evergarden meets some sort of josei/shoujo anime.

Well this sure is a start to a good natured yuri relationship right here.
Wasn't really engaged until she arrived and went full blast.

On Monica's worship train. So... All aboard!

great start i like it very much

but why she said she killed one dragon if she killed multiple, when after that Louis said he killed ten?

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

Lost track of this for the entire season...so let's re-do this from scratch!

The Kingdom of Ridill under Count Kerback's direction to rid the dragonraids for causing massive destruction upon the lands, and in comes the seemingly unassuming girl of Monica Everett who can master unchanted magecraft and truly end the war. Too bad that where she stood, has to get found out by the village folk as the Silent Witch of the Seven Sages herself by the Barrier Mage Louis Miller and his high wind spirit Rynzbelfeld, being the "Bocchi the Rock!" variant in regard to fantasy, passing on to her his job of infiltrating Serendia Academy and guarding 2nd Prince Felix in his place. And that is the bane of Monica having to expose herself to high society and stutter in her languages, and Louis forcing her his role, she has no way to refuse it.

Monica's role: to play the poor girl under Count Kerback's daughter, as the 16-year-old girl gets attended by Louis's wife Rosalie, and the "villainess" girl of Isabelle Norton giving her both the respect she's earned and the "villainy" she's playing the backstory of. And as Monica's backstory recedes her reputation as the Silent Witch, her story unfolds in the new times...being more Bocchi than ever.

Bocchi the Rock's fantasy, strong as heck, but communication's got a long way to go.

i wonder if Isabelle will be able to keep up her "evil half-sister" act the whole time.

Dub is surprisingly not bad. According to the cover story, Count Caerbeck and the countess are dead. How would people not know they are alive?

Interesting premise, but it's completely ruined by common tropes that plague so many similar titles. We've seen this formula not once or twice, but countless times. The lack of immersion, the annoying and bland female protagonist, the boring pacing, and the awful script all get in the way. It had great production values, but those were also wasted because of the same issues. It reminds me a lot of Bocchi the Rock, and it could have been just as good if the development was handled by a real human being. Unfortunately, the standard anime formula prevents these shows from having a genuine atmosphere that actually fits the age and people they're depicting. What I'm seeing just doesn't feel authentic, which is a shame. I guess this is just the new normal. I really wish I didn't have to expect results like this every time I see a title in this genre

Finally came around to watching this show, production quality is good.

Kinda boring though? The main issue I see is MC has absolutely no personality aside from "shy" and thus gets overshadowed by even a cat in the same scene.

Essentially the entire setting screams "generic", I hope she developes a personality fast.

Doesnt have the Bocchi energy sadly

The art style and animation is so good. MC is broken from the get-go 😭🔥. The fantasy + school combo genres is always one of my favourites when done right, so I know I'll enjoy this one a lot💯.

Might be looking at the underrated anime of the Summer, considering this season's animes have been heavily stacked with peak. Strong first episode, excited to see more.🙌
