Is that a fish teacher?  |
| If the rest of the episodes are this good I'm gonna have a lot of creamed panties by the end of this season |
| wow |
| Don't care what other shows come out this year. 2017 has already been saved. This was just flawless and such a fun episode. I just hope the animation quality doesn't drop over the course of the series. |
| HYPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE great first episode edit: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| I'm still a bit disappointed that it's also a reboot but once the adventuring got started it was the same fun LWA. |
 |
| Strong contender for Anime of the Season right here. I hope we're taken on new adventures and it's not just a more fleshed out version of the original. Akko's energy made this episode incredibly fun, she's such a wacky, goofy, and cute character that you can't help but love. Been anticipating this since the announcement and episode 1 did not fail to impress. Dare I say, Trigger saved anime with this release? |

| Aah yes, it begin with that kind "fateful encounter" and then got "bullied" from some senior because she's not "the real deal". And after that, meet with their to-be partner an best friend. It also remind me of Soul Eater NOT and Mitsudomoe about the "trio friend-type" which is the energic person, the "nerd", and the "Rascal". LOL |

| A delightful start of LWA, what a great time to be alive. I love the OP. |
 |
| Damn I didn't know harry potter was an anime hahahah been waiting for this forever |
 |
| Imagine how butthurt is now ANN that they cover such popular anime in their reviews/rankings/etc due to retarded Netlfix policies. |
 |
| Love it love it love it Great first episode. Really have been waiting for the series. Both the ova and the movie were fantastic |
| Absolutely perfect. I had some seriously high hopes for this series and if episode 1 is anything to go by I won't be disappointed. Great animation, great music and charming characters. I'm so hyped to see the girls go on some magical adventures. |
 |
| WHIMSY man, that's what i felt this ep |
| Does this get better after the first 6 minutes? I enjoyed the OVAs or movies or whatever they were but this felt slapstick and not enjoyable. |
| AotS is here~ Felt like a bit of a reboot from the first film but with quite a lot of changes thrown in and extended, which is probably a good idea. I'm still not sure what kind of overall story this TV-series is going to end up with but I'm honestly fine with just about anything I'd say |
  |
| Very strong start. Worth the wait. Akko is definitely my favourite character. 8/10 |
  |
| This is fuckin 10/10. AOTS here bois |
 |
| Wow! This was incredible and beyond my initial expectations! It was super intense, funny and filled with life. I am so looking forward to 2 cours of this. The animation was also incredible! |
| :3 |
| Sucy is back and is as devious as ever;). Expected the art to be down some but thats ok, it still looks good and the animation good. Some changes to like the rod part. Im expected a bunch of changes. Overall its a great start. |
 |
| This is my first time in a new Trigger anime thread, and I have to say it's amusing how much people think Trigger is saving anime. Anyways, this episode was great! It captured the feel of the 2 previous installments in this series quite well. And like other people have said, the similarities to Harry Potter were very evident this episode. Maybe I could even use this show to get some of my friends who are Harry Potter fans into anime! |
| Cross-country >>>>>>>>>>>> Every other sport |
| Well that was unexpectedly enjoyable and this is coming from someone who hasn't watched either movie and is mainly checking this out because Trigger is on the label. It's definitely more fun than I previously anticipated but I can see Trigger is going for those meaningful subliminal messages as per their forte. Expecting great things from this anime so looking forward to coming weeks. It's definitely better than everything that has aired so far in this season which is a sigh of relief though the whole "Trigger saving anime" thing is kinda something that's like...okay just stop. Anywho 7/10 |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| I'm guessing that a lot of people have noticed how similar this shows beginning and early plot is to that of Boku no Hero Academia, this in my opinion is great. |
| All the fools who go around hating on everything should stick to them eighties anime. After all isn't that the golden age of TV anime. |

| that was pretty boring, i would definitely enjoy this if i were 9 years old who still like watching typical afternoon kid anime |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| The First Episode Was Amazing,The Animation Is Brilliant,The Opening Is Amazing.Waiting For The Next Episode! :) |
 |
| I really loved the first episode, it was even better than I expected it to be. ;v; PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE let it continue being this good. And haha, Sucy is kinda even more rude than in movie and OVA. I love her. |
 |
| Pretty much my most anticipated show of the season and the first episode didn't disappoint at all. =) Akko is outgoing and excited and I like that of her. Sadly, it seems that having a non-witch into the school seems to be looked down upon by the other students. Hopefully, Akko might be the person to change that negative opinion though. Speaking of which, the school's strict rules and expulsion threat of arriving late makes it sound even crueller than Kill la Kill's Honnouji Academy was. ^^; The quality of the animation and art was pretty nice, pretty much the same as the two movies were. Being a TV series now, it's going to be difficult to maintain the same quality throughout its run, but I hope Trigger can do their best at it. =) The OP song was pretty sweet too. =) |
Karlan said: Nostalgik said: What did you guys think of the way she found the Shiny Rod this time around? I feel like in the original episode it was more epic since she literally saved the academy itself from a giant dragon, but hey, I still liked it, and maybe Trigger is planning on doing something bigger about the rod. In the original episode, she found the staff lying among other things in some storage. Here, the staff just popped out of nowhere in the wood. I may be just picky, but I liked the original episode more, since it made more sense to me. I mean, when it comes to the way she found the staff, the rest was quite okay. At first i was thinking the same, but then i realized 1st episode is just prequel to OVAs. There is a chance that Akko is somehow going to lose Shiny Rod and find it back the same way as in the OVA... Right? I just hope so : ) |

| As someone who loves the 2 LWA OVAs a lot despite not being much of a Mahou Shoujo fan, I must I'm relieved that the first episode did not disappoint. Trigger did a great job carrying the soul of LWA over to the TV adaption, and while the animation is not as great as in the OVAs (as expected), the action scenes were still nicely animated. Hopefully this will be the case throughout the show. Sure, there were some inconsitencies like the staff suddenly appearing in front of Akko for whatever reason, but eh, it was no biggie for me. This show definitely has AOTS potential for me. Can't wait to see more. |
| First off, HOLY SHIT!! It's already OUT?!?! HOW? WHEN? Second of all, the first episode blew me away. Starting off with the Silver Chariot show and keeping most of the core themes from the movie was a good touch. But there was a hiccup, when Sucy (I nominate Best Girl of 2016-2017) reads about Arcturus forest, I thought this will be brought up in future episodes, but nope, we're already there. Couldn't this come up in later episodes. But you know what, I don't mind. I like this hiccup, because it gave us the best chase scene to grace anime, and actually had the girls meet up and interact.THIS IS AWESOME BECAUSE it's great, and it makes room for great character development. Goddammit Studio Trigger, how are you going to 1-up this. |
ONWARDS! Away from homework and on to more anime!!! |
| I was, uh, kind of expecting more (I didn't see the movie or anything, it's my first contact with this anime), but, well, I guess it will get better soon. |
| I was worried about this anime turning into a show, mainly for the reason that I thought the character expressions(facials expression and body gestures) would be sacrificed due to budget constraints that the two movies didn't have, but I was pleasantly surprised that it still felt like a Disney or a Ghibli movie with the various expression that the characters, or more precisely, Akkos' expressions and gestures. This is one of the reasons why I liked the movies, and, why I also enjoy Ghibli movies; on top of all this, the [Little Witch Academia] movies knew how to be fun and ridiculous, which for this very first episode it was that, and, hopefully stay that way. Other anime should, or other animators and directors should take cue how to make the character feel more vivid and human, so, that is one big plus on my side; cinematography was great and the music was also in place. |
 |
| Very fun first episode, i call bullshit, that you sent invitation to newbie, without even mentioning how to get to school, but Harry Potter had that too :) |
| Awwww man! I want the second episode already! Just like everyone else here, I get that Harry Potter vibe. |
 |
| FUCK YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES TRIGGER SAVES ANIME ONCE AGAIN jokes aside, the animation was great as usual and Sucy casting those spells was p fun too. I love Sucy |
| THE SMITHS ARE THE BEST BAND |

| I'm overjoyed this got a TV series. I really enjoyed the movies. This a great first episode. I love the chemistry with the characters. The scenes with the giant rooster was funny xD |
 |
| loving it already, so much fun. |
| It was a fun episofe,despite the notable drop in the quality (but it's ok because the ova and the movie were too beautiful and this anime is gonna be 25 episodes long). Good start, hope they can maintain this level. |
