We already saw the opening last episode, which is honestly is one of my favorites this season, visually and the song, but not only that, we got the ending this episode and it's by the same artist. I don't look this up ahead of watching so actually a surprise.

As for the episode, Monica such a silly goofball. Enjoying her freak outs. I know not everyone is fond of timid and extremely shy characters but I quite like them, especially when they're trying their hardest to step out of their tiny comfort zone like she did asking Lana for help with her hair. You can't help but cheer them on.

Very much enjoying the OST as well.

I really can't imagine someone so shy to a point that he/she can't even say thank you or sorry.. this ep is funny at times and painful to watch at times.. at least she finally said something to the people that helped her. I don't know how she's gonna protect the prince when she hasn't really do anything to really help out

There’s a *lot* I want to comment on, but honestly, the frames I captured are more than enough to express what I’m trying to say!

The animation and artwork in this anime are truly excellent, and the heroine makes the show visually enjoyable—even though I’m not a fan of the overall story or setting.

For a moment, it felt like a *shoujo* anime! That whole “being rescued by a handsome guy and suddenly his face is super close” trope… it's honestly one of the things I *hate most* in anime, and I always criticize it whenever I see it.

But don’t get me wrong—this doesn’t mean the anime isn’t fun to watch! So far, it’s a solid *10/10*, even though the intro has stretched over two full episodes and we still haven’t gotten to the main plot. Still, the stunning visuals and top-tier voice acting definitely make up for its flaws.

Looking forward to next week’s episode!

I wasn't sure what to think of this because I didn't think episode 1 was very good. Episode 2 didn't start out great either but I'm enjoying the development. Sort of like Ouran High School Host Club in a way. Similar patterns. Though this first arc is probably going to be rather short so would need to see how it goes from there. Although it does seem that it is going in a very particular direction. After she proves herself there's really only one place for her to go, which again follows that similar pattern to Ouran High School Host Club and is quite convenient for the story. Then from there I guess it's daily occurrences along with an underlying plot? Probably similar to dad reincarnated as the villain in a shoujo show.

The twist on all of this is of course the MC's personality. Hard to think of another character that terrified of other people in the same way. Just Bocchi really.


I'll just say this. This isn't anything we haven't seen before. It's still entertaining with the twist of the MC though. It really depends on how it develops from here. If it's too similar to things from the past it could be an easy drop. School anime needs to hit a very high bar because there is just so much of it and all of it is so forgettable.

So she's met the prince, and despite some misunderstandings has gotten on his good side and been assigned to find his would-be assassin. As his secret bodyguard, that's task failed successfully.

Very good episode, as good as the first one , classic fantasy anime atp of the story but is very enjoyable, the MC can sometimes be a bit too shy so that can make u upset if you often see these type of shy waifus but as I haven't seen some of these since a long time, it doesn't upset me.

People seriously need to stop bullying this poor introverted lil weirdo.

Except Nero, Nero's fine, he's just a normal (magical) cat doing normal (jerk) cat things. He gets a pass.

At least she met a new friend in Lana, and Isabelle is clearly fangirling while doing her best at being the villainous daughter to help her... which still strikes me as weird, but it's funny so, again, she gets a pass.

This show is just so fun. Monica is a bundle of pure joy with her shy energy. This makes of the best and often funny situations. Like Bocchi the Rock but in a fantasy setting.

Even with how timid and overly anxious she is, there’s something I personally find rather endearing about Monica in terms of her character, especially given the provided flashbacks of her when she seemed much more happy and passionate only to be stricken with a sudden moment of shock, depression, and possibly tragedy. I’m probably in the minority for this, though. She was brought up this way, so it’d make sense why her social skills are essentially zero. No wonder why she went with voiceless magic.

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.

'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?

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

@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.
