Synopsis

"A believing heart is your magic!"—these were the words that Atsuko "Akko" Kagari's idol, the renowned witch Shiny Chariot, said to her during a magic performance years ago. Since then, Akko has lived by these words and aspired to be a witch just like Shiny Chariot, one that can make people smile. Hence, even her non-magical background does not stop her from enrolling in Luna Nova Magical Academy.

However, when an excited Akko finally sets off to her new school, the trip there is anything but smooth. After her perilous journey, she befriends the shy Lotte Yansson and the sarcastic Sucy Manbavaran. To her utmost delight, she also discovers Chariot's wand, the Shiny Rod, which she takes as her own. Unfortunately, her time at Luna Nova will prove to be more challenging than Akko could ever believe. She absolutely refuses to stay inferior to the rest of her peers, especially to her self-proclaimed rival, the beautiful and gifted Diana Cavendish, so she relies on her determination to compensate for her reckless behavior and ineptitude in magic.

In a time when wizardry is on the decline, Little Witch Academia follows the magical escapades of Akko and her friends as they learn the true meaning of being a witch.

This was a cute series. It was a standard magical girl series. Adorable character, strong female characters, power of friendship, magic, etc. It took it to the next level with the plot twist at the end.

I highly recommend this series. It's easy enough for everyone to get into and enjoy.

The only issue is that the personalities are a bit cliche, and the MC can be a bit much. Though the MC is also adorable, so it could help with the overbearing aspects of his personality. The personalities are a bit cliche, but they're still enjoyable.

The art style ...

Mixed Feelings
Cheesy, wholesome, and generally enjoyable. There are some weak points such as a large amount of plot progression revolving around Akko making new short-sighted and poorly thought out decisions very frequently, and a couple jokes not really landing or relying on secondhand embarrassment, but if you make the choice to buy in to the premise and the characters, this series will definitely give you some emotions. The climactic moments and new achievements don't always feel thoroughly earned by Akko, but at the end of the day it's still aimed at kids and still has some very strong scenes of you don't mind feeling a little ...

Do people watch this and choose to like it?

The main character Atsuko is super annoying, completely useless, and downright disrespectful to everyone. She manages to ruin everyone's day and still be mad at them when they get angry at her. I have no idea why someone would make the MC this unlikable. in the end, I just ended up rooting for Diana. The story is very predictable but sometimes manages to go above and beyond to make the story even more pointless and annoying. Characters are badly written, and most of them have no soul. Don't waste your time on this. But if you ...
