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.

Little Witch Academia is one of the most underrated anime ever produced, offering a unique take on the Magic School Genre as i seamlessly blends fantasy with science fantasy. The story follows Akko, a first-generation witch from Japan, who enrolls in Luna Nova. Despite her lack of magical prowess, she dreams of becoming a witch like her hero to spread joy in the world. This simple motivation leads to a captivating and original storyline. However, despite its potential for continuation, the anime remains a one-and-done deal due to Trigger's policy with IPs.

The characters are diverse and draw inspiration from European and Viking mythologies. The animation ...

Mixed Feelings
And then there's the TV show. Just in the interest of sorting out some housekeeping, if you're wondering in what order to watch the Little Witch Academia franchise, you can easily watch it all in the order of release. In fact, that is recommended. The OVA and movie are direct sequels and part of the same continuity. The TV show, however, reboots the story and changes some details of the premise and some of the characters' personalities get subtly altered. As such, fear not, the OVA and movie are not canon to the series and consequently don't spoil anything. They do, however, introduce some characters ...

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 ...
