'YOU MUST BE JOKING!" "I CANNOT STAY IN A ROOM NEXT TO THIS DIRTY COMMONER!" - Isabelle's acting is 10/10.

Don't get me wrong, I like Monica well enough as a MC, but Isabelle's acting is simply the best, easily best character in the show.
I like to watch some anime, I like to talk about some anime, I dislike wars over some anime, but more than anything I love to live my life, anime is an enjoyable and entertaining addition onto my life but it's not my whole life.

Monica really does sound like a lost squirrel whenever she stumbles through her words and makes that bubbling face. She's cute and also acts like a doofues but her passion for numbers is something else like that quick explanation she gave on the blackboard. Maybe this mission will give her enough confidence to start being confident around people or at least talk to them more freely. In the meantime, the constrast between the assassin plot and her shyness is very entertaining.

Considering Monica's awkwardness and anxiety, how little she talks, her adoration of numbers, her bubbly energy as a child, etc is it safe to assume she's somewhere on the autism spectrum?

Great episode, but I'm losing my mind trying to find a pattern to the 1 8 4 7 3 7 2 6 3 8 5... mentioned in the middle that may not even exist. To those with brighter minds than I reading this, is there a pattern? Am I allowed to know it? Please, I beg of thee.

Yeah, I don't think it's an overstatement to say Monica is the most timid character in the show at this time, or at least episode 2. Looks like she's assigned to guard another character without their knowledge.

Not sure how I feel about other characters like Lana yet. This anime needs more time to develop them but Monica really needs to be more confident in herself. The Felix/Monica scenes were priceless. I guess she's not used to havnig guys being up so close to her face.
@Stark700 they really didnt hold back on introducing the entire cast.. i know im gonna have a hard time remembering their names :< and monica and felix are so cute!! i laughed out loud when her soul fell from her body haha

I don't get it.

Why would the council guy ask an unknown outsider to directly help them in finding out an assassin's identity?

I know the writer is trying to make the prince and MC to get closer but that feels like an asspull way to do it.
@Chendroshee yeah, it felt really weird!!! why would you ask a stranger, who quite literally just showed up yesterday, to take on the task of finding the prince's attempted assassin?? plot reasons obviously, but i feel like it def couldve been done better :/

This anime truly has outstanding graphics and detail—one of the best this season.
In episode 2, I finally understood why the main character is so quiet, and his intelligence feels natural and genetic rather than forced like in many other anime. The backstory is quite well done.
Now I'm really curious about his past at the magic academy, before he became one of the top mages and mastered silent spellcasting.

Monica being shy and anxious is kind of sweet, especially when we see flashbacks of her childhood. It looks like she was really happy back then, but something bad must have happened that made her sad and stop trusting people, maybe even herself. Think it'd be interesting if the show goes back to that.

Also like how the funny faces and jokes are timed well to show how hard it is for her to deal with others. Her anxiety can be a bit much, but it feels nice when she tries to open up and when others try to understand her. Those small moments feel really good to watch.

Monica social anxiety is off the charts, but she manages to makes a friend and we get to learn a bit more about her past.
Not too fond of the prince and his followers so far: when a character looks and acts so 'perfect', it makes me think that he could actually be a villain.
Isabella's acting was absolutely hilarious, and so was Monica's familiar.

I love when an anime can make me laugh out loud, and a few moments in this episode made that happen! I couldn't be happier! Also the animation is pretty much on par with the previous episode, and our bean is already improving in regards to her social skills! I can't wait to see what's next, though I do hope people stop thrusting THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES onto poor Monica!

The first episode was perfectly enjoyable and comfy, but the plot introduced in the second one feels a bit lackluster so far. I really hope the student council has some secrets, and the completely ignored flower pot-breaking scene will be addressed in some way. The final "revelation" scene seemed pretty illogical, too. Otherwise, the episode was fun, I genuinely like every character so far, though Monica's personality is going to get tiring if there isn't a bit of character development. I hope there will be a scene later when she can show off some of her true power before others.

Forgot to mention, MC is 110% guilty of being the assassin or at very least clinically insane. What kind of person just has nuts for their entire lunch? Here I am, entire lunch just sitting in my pocket, just taking a stroll. Can't blame the student council at that point. I thought she was supposed to be silent, not have bad taste xD. Funny joke.

Liking the MC overall though even if carrying a bunch of nuts around for "lunch" is totally mad.

Monica is too adorable.

She can proudly join the Shizuka club, together with Bocchi the rock, Hitori Bocchi and Komi-san. They can all stare at each other in horror and faint from shock lol.

Ah yes my weekly dose of abababbaba. Monica is so sweet and that awkward smile is so precious. Like seriously what is this adorable creature?



I honestly got distracted by monica's ahoge. Are we sure that thing isn't alive? Lmao. This episode was mostly filled with monica making little progress at interacting with the students. I'm liking the pacing so far. I hope they keep it up.

How is this not the anime of the season? It's fantastic. It does not make light of its main theme of social anxiety. There is no easy solution, and they even go so far as to hint as to the MC's backstory to explain why she is so anxious.

The OP and ED are both excellent, especially the OP. The animation and artwork are very pleasing. Comedy is light, not the ham-fisted anime tropes that have become so annoying.

Most off all, the creators of this anime are SINCERE, something sorely lacking in creators these days. They have a clear objective in mind, but don't forget that one of their main missions is to entertain as well. Splendid.

Ahhhhh words cannot express how much I love our little girl failure math geek witch 🥰 I just wanna give her a hug and tell her everything will be fine. She needs to be protected at all costs! 😤 (even tho she's more than powerful enough to protect herself lol)

Also, Isabelle is such a fun supporting character! As someone who enjoys watching villainess anime, it's oddly satisfying to see the villainess trope used for an ally of the mc rather than it bng used for the protagonist or antagonist. And what's more, Isabelle is actually a fan girl of the protagonist and only pretends to be the villainess infront of others in order to help out the mc 😂😅 What a way to completely turn the villainess trope on it's head lol

Another fun thing is how Monica feels uncomfortable around Nero's human form, despite him being her familiar and her having no problem talking to him as a cat. 😂 Once again, a classic anime trope turned on it's head lol

I have been looking for the same thing ever since I watched the episode. Tried OEIS and a million digits of pi but got no luck. I don't think they will go further in the pi sequence. Maybe it appears somewhere in the golden ratio or Euler number. Something else would be too niche unless relevant to plot. Since they are all single digits it could also be some series with modulo 9 or 10. Also these digits can be in some other base too.

My best bet is they are something relevant to plot and Monica was trying to memorize the number.

@Chronon

I asked ChatGPT. The single digits did not yield a pattern.

I then asked Chat GPT to consider the sequence as 18, 47, 37, 26, 38, and 5* where 5* is any number from 50 to 59.

ChatGPT found a pattern, and IIRC, the only number that fits the pattern is 51.

I asked Chat GPT to generate 5 - 10 more terms in the sequence and explain the significance.

The only thing Chat GPT found was reducing the numbers modulo 26 and mapping the numbers to the alphabet, namely 1 goes to A, 2 goes to B, ..., and 26 goes to Z.

There were some letters generated, but I don't know if these are meaningful.

Isabelle's acting was impressive as I was almost convinced that she really didn't want to share a room with Monica although it's a bit of a shame that Monica got the attic except it came in handy when she saw the "shady" figure outside since she was high up.

I'm thinking that the reason the 2nd prince wasn't told that Monica (and before her Louis) is his bodyguard is because the king doesn't want to stress out his son even though Aaron, who was alleged to have tampered with the budget, is after him. This means that there are other people after him for some reason since the assignment of the bodyguard happened before Aaron was caught (unless it's normal to have a secret bodyguards assigned to princes and princesses in this world).

Did the same as you said and ChatGPT did give a match for 51. It was the sequence A081119. It does not contain those numbers.
