Come to think of it, in episode 1 it shows she can't understand the thoughts of non-humans. Is it because their brains are too different, or is it because the "language" (broadly speaking, the way they communicate) is too different? I'm sure I'm waaaaay overanalyzing this though.

p.s. and no, reading minds should not grant the ability to understand foreign/alien languages. |

If a foreigner was thinking in words, talking to himself, Kotoura would probably not be able to understand it, since we know she is "hearing" verbal thoughts as if they were spoken out loud - in fact, she seems unable to tell thoughts apart from spoken words. But we know she can also see daydreams and the memories that come up in people's heads, so she would be able to do that with a foreigner. Babies? I say they are much more similar to other humans than cats are, so she would probably sense something, at least.

I think we were showed that Kotoura can see the image of person's thought.
If a cat is thinking something like "want to drink milk" and Kouruta can see the image of milk in its head, then I will say she can read animal's mind. ................................................ On the show itself, I hope the future eps won't become the repetitive loop of Everyday life >> Kouruta get bullied >>> MC save the day>>> Happy time

Just ... plain ... awesome. I was correct to have as much anticipation for this series as I did before it began! Yatta!
Ep 2 was unexpectedly ... serious. And good for Manabe for standing up to the girls and saying it like it is. A normal response to bullying without getting clobbered for a change. :\

I think this is a prime example of why you shouldn't dismiss shows due to the synopsis... what a surprise, the first half of episode 1 hit you like a truck...
Also nice to see this may sell quite well in Japan, very positive reaction to this on 2ch. Wouldn't the OP and ED pretty much show that will happen in due time? |

For example: - Read teacher mind and tell her friend what question will be on the test. (AsK: Will x on the test? Then read what his inner thought say) - Help finding the real curpit in any case. (Ask: Did you do it? Then read what his inner thought say)

Well, her powers have limitations it seems. She can "hear" thoughts but not actually read minds. Perhaps it is just because she is untrained. But even that alone will ensure she comes up tops if she actually utilise it. But considering she considers it a curse she probably wouldn't until she learns to accept it as a blessing over the course of the show.

It seems she can't tell the difference between thoughts and spoken words at times, not to mention when she was younger it's not like she knew she was doing anything wrong. Once she got to dead eye moe stage it's more like she just didn't give a shit anymore.
