Little Witch Academia (TV) https://myanimelist.net/anime/33489/Little_Witch_Academia_TV Little Witch Academia was originally a short movie that was part of the young animator training project. Basically the Japanese government gave the studio funding to make a work if they trained fledgling young animators on the job. The project started in 2010 but LWA has been the most successful overall with a sequel spawning from a kickstarter series and enough interest where the TV show came to be. The TV version is basically a retelling of some of the basic events that happened in the movies (mainly the first one) but it deviates greatly as it goes on. The story is about Akko, a young aspiring witch with no talent at all but she has all the drive in the world and that's because she wants to be like her idol, Shiny Chariot. While at Luna Nova she makes friends like Sucy - a girl obsessed with poisons, and Lotte - a book worm. She also constantly clashes with the most gifted girl in the school, Dianna. While there is a central story the "story" episodes take place between a lot of the normal ones. So it plays out very similarly to so more older school shows. The anime overall is very western in its feel, like something that would air on a Saturday morning. The anime is feels nostalgic despite it being a first viewing. The story overall is decent but still overshadowed by how good individual episodes are. I know some people were kind of upset that there was so much "filler" but I'm thinking that we get to just have more of this show. The cast itself, while none of them except Akko and Dianna really get much development (okay and a couple others I'm not really going to say for spoiler reasons) most of the cast has some of the most endearing personality quirks a single show has on this list. While Akko can be a bit annoying at times she is the perfect pick for the lead due to her more energetic personality and background which makes it easier for viewers to connect to. Personally I really like Akko. Animation is generally another strong point. While not as good as the stuff in the movies, this is still studio trigger here. The sound and music is also a high point (which is also common for a lot of Trigger works and we might see another one later on on this list). There are murmurs about a second season, which is like so so on actuality due to somewhat mediocre sales but a Netflix deal helps that too. But also like apparently things like spin offs and such were also planned, so who knows maybe one day this will be some huge franchise. Until then this is an excellent pick up. --- Kokoro's Anime Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaIA0gY11FQ_Zh6kLSam5OA Updated: July 27th, 2016. <cite>KokoroAkechi posted [p:887649558] in Kokoro's t...
