New anime incoming! From socially awkward to learning to cast without chanting?! The setting of "The Secret of the Silent Witch" in July 2025 is so appealing to me! Please air it soon!
Hey hey! All magic enthusiasts and otherworld explorers! ✨ The 2025 anime watchlist train really has no intention of stopping! In the blink of an eye, May is almost over, and the footsteps of the July new anime season are getting closer! Recently, I've been captivated by a new anime scheduled for the summer season; just looking at the protagonist's setting feels super interesting and totally hits my sweet spot!
That's this one—"Silent Witch: The Secret of the Silent Witch"! 🔮 This is a work that combines fantasy, magic, and my favorite school theme!
The Protagonist's Setting is Too Genius! Social Anxiety Forces Out the Strongest Magic?!
The protagonist of this series is named Monica Everett! ✨ Just hearing the name gives off a witchy vibe! How amazing is she? She is the only magician in the world who can use incantationless magic! Furthermore, at just 15 years old, she became one of the kingdom's highest-ranking "Seven Sages," setting the record for the youngest ever! Isn't that super awesome! 😱
And here's the kicker! The reason she learned such a cool ability as incantationless magic is actually because... she is extremely afraid of talking to people (aka social anxiety!) Hahahaha! In order to avoid having to speak incantations in front of everyone, she mastered incantationless magic to the max! What kind of genius development is this—"maxed out the strongest skill because of shyness"! 🤣 This setting totally hits my funny bone, it's so vivid!
Infiltrating the Academy on a Secret Mission! Magical Academy, Here I Come!
This incredibly powerful yet shy witch is actually entrusted with a secret mission: to replace a fellow Seven Sage and infiltrate the academy to secretly protect the Second Prince! Wow! The magical academy setting is here! I love watching stories where the protagonist hides their true identity at school, carrying out missions while developing relationships (and romance?)! Her name at the academy is "Monica Norton."
Why was she chosen? Besides her strength, which is enough to single-handedly repel a black dragon (🐲 Power level guaranteed!), it's also because she's so shy that she's always looking down or wearing a hood when outside, so very few people know her true appearance, perfectly fitting the undercover requirements! This sense of contrast is just too interesting!
The Voice Cast & Production Team Are Also Great!
The voice cast for this series is also something to look forward to! The protagonist Monica is voiced by #Saya Aizawa! It feels like she'll portray that shy yet strongly contrasting feeling very well! Also, the fellow Seven Sage, who seems like a reliable big brother, Louis Miller, is voiced by #Junichi Suwabe! That voice is perfect! Atsumi Tanezaki also participates in the performance; the character she portrays (Isabelle) is the "mean-spirited villainess noble daughter" who assists Monica's mission, but secretly admires Monica?! Oh my! The contrast in this pair is also super great! Tanezaki-san is super charming in such contrasting roles! #Yoko Hikasa will also participate in the voice acting! This cast is a must-follow! 💯
Other character settings also look interesting, like Monica's familiar (which is actually a black dragon!) Niro, the Second Prince Felix who is being protected, Lana, the first friend Monica makes at the academy, etc. It feels like academy life will be very lively!
The work is an adaptation from a light novel + manga! The animation production company is #Studio Gokumi! They have produced anime like "Yuki Yuna is a Hero" and "I Don't Have Many Friends," so they seem to have rich production experience!
Waiting for July 2025! A Must-Watch for the Summer Season!
To sum up! This new anime, "Silent Witch: The Secret of the Silent Witch," has a "socially anxious but super strong" protagonist setting, the coolness of incantationless magic, a magical academy infiltration mission, interesting contrasting characters, and an anticipated voice cast and production team! It's totally my cup of tea! 😍
This work will air this July, in the 2025 summer anime season ! Knocking on the table, hoping it airs quickly!
- After reading this setting, do you also find it super interesting like I do?
- Do you like this kind of "shy but overwhelmingly powerful" protagonist?

Let's wait together for July to arrive!
