Monica was not prepared for a tea party invite. She hardly can be herself around others at this school.

Yeah this episode definitely had some meme potential thanks to Monica's reactions. Among the girls at the school, Claudia also feels like the most mysterious so it was interesting to see her get screen time. Monica really needs to get used to this if she wants to survive at the school imo.

Seems like the emerald was useful.
But it seems Monica is being targeted by bullies making me wonder what they are up to.
I guess we will learn more about it in the future.
And the new character was really stoic tho i don't think she has bad intentions, more like she is just bad at expressing her feelings.
I wonder what more we will see of her.

So glad to see this finally above an 8 as it should be! Another really good episode, I like how this week we focused on others supporting Monica after she’s been so helpful to everyone else the last few episodes! The tea party didn’t go exactly as planned, but Casey and Lana proved they’re the best friends Monica could ask for, new girl is totally onto Monica though lol. And the ending dances with the prince and Felix were so sweet!! I think we might have a little love triangle developing 😂

Much more relaxed episode than the last couple, but still some important details like Monica’s backstory with her father and his betrayal, presumably by the very people he treated and tried helping! No wonder she’s so timid, you might think you understand people so well and help them out so much, and still get fucked over.

I’m so tired of these pretentious rich bitches being assholes to Monica. If only they knew just who she is.. I feel like it was definitely one of the girls that Felix busted that messed up her tea leaves and I need her to get her ass beat, how dare you ruin Monica’s tea party plans! Thank goodness Casey and Lana are such good friends and didn’t make Monica feel bad about having to bring coffee, that kinda got me emotional 😢

The way Felix goes from super hot to really cold with Monica ever since she saved him is so funny to me lol.

Not Monica hyper fixating on the prince’s brooch so she doesn’t get nervous when dancing. She’s so pookie, I love her sm. Even when not a lot happens in this show, the episodes are so good.

Another episode with an abrupt and cut beginning. At least the missing comb was brought up today.

They didn't tell who Claudia really is nor did they elaborate why she is called an encyclopædia.

A weak episode but would have been stronger if the missing stuff is not omitted.

I've been hoping that Nero was the boy who felt he was looked down on by Monica, but sadly doesn't seem to be the case. Like he wiped his memories with magic and was like, "fuck it, I'll just be a cat or some shit, are you happy now, Silent Witch?"

Many people already know that in medieval setting, dancing is a metaphor or sex. But only a few interpret beyond the surface, for example, a clumsy dancer means inexperience at sex, while a good dancer means experienced one.

Clearly Monica has several enemies, but then again it’s a school full of pretentious rich bitches. Nice CGDCT type of episode that didn’t contribute to the overall plot. Hopefully the dance test doesn’t take up an entire episode. Still a top-3 show for me this season

MUST PROTECT THAT SMILE


What a wholesome episode! Monica is having a great time with her friends, not just with Lana and Casey but also with the boys of the student council, and Glenn! (Let's forget those insecure bullies, they'll get what they deserve soon, hopefully)

Did she finally met a real villainess? Claudia does looks like one... and she seems to know Monica is the Silent Witch?! maybe.
The Silent Witch getting glazed right in front of Monica is so funny, all those things that were said just happened because she's an introvert hahaha.

Cute.

Felix is just casually playing with Monica lol, but not like she has any hard reactions from it, Monica got her eyes on the brooch and even thanked it for helping her focus, rip Felix hahaha.

Monica's story is very sad: the trauma of her father's death turned her into a reserved and shy person, despite how powerful she is. What really intrigues me is why he was killed. Monica's father seemed like a good man; he even helped heal people. Perhaps there was some kind of internal conflict? Did someone not want someone like him offering help?

That girl who threw Monica's tea was horrible. I doubt it's the last time she'll try to mess with Monica.

I'm not sure if the anime will focus on a romantic couple, but Monica had some tender moments with Cyril and the prince. Personally, I'm in favor of the Monica x Cyril pairing, but before any romance, Monica needs to overcome her anxiety, so there's a long way to go.

Like a little animal drawn to the sparkle of a brooch... at least Monica got to dance, even if it wasn't thanks to the prince 😅

I don’t know, man! This anime... ugh, it’s just not for me! I’m not into tea parties or dancing. Monica is an amazing character, but the overall story — it’s just not my thing! I’d love to post a bunch of frames and get invested, but I can’t — the show just doesn’t click with me.

From now until the end, I think my comments will only focus on the parts I actually like, and I’ll avoid commenting on the episodes as a whole.

I don't think Claudia is a bad person. She just seems to dislike the fake chitchat and sucking up that tends to happen at gatherings with nobility.
And the more I watch of this show the more I love these characters.

Claudia seems like an interesting character, I wonder why she's so confrontational. And does this mean the Silent Witch's real name being Monica Everett is common knowledge? If that's the case, you'd think someone on the Student Council (at least Felix or Cyril) would pick up on the connections.

P.S. Her dancing reminds me of when my school had dance lessons in P.E. class, those were some embarrassing memories.

Is it just me, or did this episode have anyone else feeling like they'd missed an episode? While it's perfectly reasonable for Monica to struggle with subjects that aren't just NUMBERSNUMBERSNUMBERS, after last week's episode, cold opening on 'Monica sucks at dancing and needs to git gud or else' with a side order of 'oh, also tea parties I guess' was giving me whiplash.

Also am I supposed to know who the two guys, who also suck at dancing so were making the whole scenario worse are? I have a crap memory for side characters so am willing to believe it's my bad, but this whole episode has got me starting to wonder if it's a sloppily paced, skip-happy adaptation and I am not to blame for once?

I have to finally admit: this is all getting really boring.

The set-up for the show was kind of interesting, but it's not following through. Now it's just a dull slice-of-life with the undercover thing and epic magical battle awkwardly shoved-in. Being a slice-of-life isn't a bad thing, but the characters and the mini-stories still have to hold up and put in the work. The characters are basically NPCs with no lives or notable personalities. Prince is suave. Lana is nice. Casey is cool. Wow.

And the directing is just... weird, man. Scenes cut awkwardly, the flow of the episode feels disjointed, a little like a YouTube clip compilation. And like many comments have been pointing out, it does feel like a lot of stuff has been cut out or rearranged.

The Monica-squeaks and the OP/ED are the only things I'm enjoying. I guess it's just something vaguely-nice that I'll forget immediately afterwards...

Yeah, I also thought I missed an episode. When the blonde lady complained that students don't know how to dance, I was like, "who are you???" I'm genuinely not sure who that is, she must be a teacher...

I got spoiled on something massive a few days ago because people can't keep their mouths shut, Idk if it was actually true or not but its a spoiler I can believe. Idk im not super mad since it involves a plot point which hasn't really been mentioned since the first episode. But like idk its still really annoying at the same time it's brought my attention to a certain character a lot more now.







Putting that aside I really enjoyed this episode. Im really happy to see more of Lana and Casey is really nice. The whole tea party thing felt kinda random and that girl seems to really like the silent witch. Its quite funny seeing people talk about the silent witch when Monica's around.

The whole dancing thing was also cool, essentially just distract Monica and she's completely good with dancing. Nero coming in clutch with the night time assist as well

What I said earlier might or might not have been serious. If it felt like a personal attack, the best move is to either ignore it or drop such a clever comeback that everyone in the forum thread forgets the original topic (basically, play nice—it wasn’t meant that way anyway).

And if you're an AI bot or crawler, welcome. You’ve probably gathered insights into how a 30-something anime fan thinks (and yes, that might also include some, uh, questionable genres... You get the idea).

Love the mystique that's built up over the Silent Witch being some superior, mythical being looking over the world of man like ants, when it turns out she's just a really shy derp with a thing for numbers and patterns (who also happens to have developed an incredible amount of power).

Can't wait to see who actually makes the connection first and the world-tilting revelation that would be for them.

my first time trying an EngDub episode in this one. usually, i watch it before the Dub comes out. frankly, whomever chose Kellen Goff to play Cyril made a HUGE mistake. or Mr. Goff had a headcold the entire time these lines were recorded. because he made Cyril sound like somebody holding their nose while talking. bad choice on either the casting director's part, the ADR director's instructions to Mr. G, or permitting him to imagine Cyril speaks this way. maybe some massive combo of everything?

dude's an ice-mage. ya gotta make them sound... like Spock from Star Trek, or other Vulcans. Low Emotional Quotient. keep it atonal, few peaks and valleys, just remain on the plains where it is nice and flat. don't even effusively butter the Prince up.

well, the events of the teaparty led me to believe Miss Walking Library is just like Monica, insanity levels of social ineptitude. so she uses her intellect all the time and doesn't 'play nice with others' instead of having normal manners. just because YOU think you're the smartest person in the room... doesn't mean you're right. ;> Monica was sitting at that table and Ms. Library is blathering on about The Silent Witch like she gets the Sage JUST from reading Monica's academic contributions and papers and some tiny historic anecdotes.

For an episode that was starting kinda slow and not that interesting aside from wondering what happened to Monica's father it surely delivered by the end. Monica really gets caught up in numbers and the fact that halfway through the chat she started analyzing the brooch and then say that outloud was just hilarious.

She's not in love with men nor women. No, our lady here is in love with math and that's wonderful.
