>>17960441Sora gives off smart vibes, but her super chill and kinda slow way of talking filters a lot of people, and I feel like she's mostly not using her smartness and just talks about mundane topics. Also remember that the roommate stuff going around is wrong and she's really young.
People think Okayu is just a lazy fat cat but she can actually talk on a variety of topics including deep ones. Look at most of her covers being a bit edgy and/or songs touching on serious topics. Also check out Mogu Mogu Yummy, then her aftertalk about it and realize it's not about food at all (and it could never be because it's fucking Pinocchio-P, Okayu will always be based to me for being the first and the only, for now, Holo to get a song made by him).
Not sure if I'd call her smart but Marine is a zatsudan goddess, interesting talking points are an understatement.
Botan is smart but I wouldn't say she's particularly skilled at zatsudan. I'd say she's smart in a practical sense, she did her common sense reps way better than most Holos.
La+ is unironically smart and really good at zatsudan, but more like a book smart. She has a wide range of interests, likes art and reads a fuckton, can talk about anything from Marvel movies to philosophy (literally mentioned Kant a while ago on stream kek), but isn't smart in a practical sense at all. She's still a child and needs help with most adult life stuff.
Koyori seems pretty smart, her character is supposed to be book smart and good at deduction and puzzles and she's trying her best to keep up.
Iroha is like super grounded, might easily be the person with the most common sense in all of Holo.
Reine always seemed pretty smart to me but I don't really watch her.
Strangely, for EN I'd mention Gura because her talking skills are pretty high, she can spin literally any shit to keep it lighthearted and entertaining. But as for smartness... yeah, no, we all know that.
I agree about Fauna.
