Hated the whole missile thing, but the last few minutes of everyone just having fun was pretty nice. 7/10

Ugh, the final phase of the conflict is just poor. The missile thing in itself is ridiculous as it is, way more than anything else LWA has shown before. But on top of that there are so many plot conveniences thrown around that it leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
Yes, we got that a lot over the course of the show and up to that point I shunned those weird antics away since it was delibarately made by design (Studio Trigger style), I even liked them. But in the case of the ending, not so much.
At the very least, my expectations of Akko being able to fly at the end were met. Heartwarming to see.

The final conflict alone is actually reason enough to drop the score by one point but with all the fun I had through the whole course (more during S1 than S2), I think I'll leave the score at a 8/10.

On a shorter note: This could've been a good, longer running franchise if Trigger wouldn't have thrown so many great ideas in an episodic format. Now that's a shame.

It was a very good anime until episode 15 because it was japanese variation of Harry Potter in comedy slice of life format. All these little magic nuances and funny situations were interesting to watch, it was really refreshing in comparison with other anime series, anime reminded me Kill la Kill because of common art style, animation and characters, let's be honest here Ryuuko Matoi = Amanda O'Neill and Atsuko Kagari = Mako Mankanshoku.

After 15th episode anime start becoming more predictable in terms of "here is your typical antagonist which will break in the end" with heavilly pushed plot to my taste. I wish this anime just keep episodic format since final was obliviously underdeveloped (evil rocket, are you serious?). It could be better if main focus anime was still on Atsuki wish and Chariot fail. I feel like Chariout should reveal herself to Atsuki much earlier so all this mess with antagonist and worthless Chariot would be more adequate and realistic with different confrontation OR Chariot should reveal herself to Atsuki in the very end so Atsuki could cheering up failed Chariot in terms of life, at least it could be more personal and appeal to more adult people. Final was rushed.

This anime should be a plot heavy from very start or being episodic for very end.

This last episode was a show for what concerns the animations and what to say of the drawings, really excellent. Ah! I really hope for a second season for this anime series. Really pleasant to look at and relaxing, a great choice during the summer, if you're looking for something to cheer up your mood a little. In truth, I loved all the openings and endings, as well as the soundtrack.

Pretty nonsensical ending but it was really in triggers style. Pretty good show overall. I liked the comedy episodes the most tbh. The plot with the word collecting and all that wasn't bad, but definitely didn't captivate me or anything.

So it's all over now, huh?

This makes me sad. Getting to know these characters has been one of the most fulfilling journeys in anime for me. I wouldn't say that the show was a perfect masterpiece, but Akko's character alone is enough for me to look past the moments where LWA didn't shine as quite as brightly as it could have.

You know what, I'll stop there for now. I think I'll have to write a review!

Yeah, the story went downhill mid-way. The entire Croix arc or w/e I should call it was straight taken from casual shonens. I loved these 1 episode stories tho, like moss disease or inside sucy story, they were awesome!

Most of the problems here come from time constraints in the second half, the content in the second half should have been double cours at the least; here most of the mini-arcs have no proper rising action, undermining much of the dramatic tension between the characters- the seriousness looks silly here. The expansive world building and rich side character pool of the first half was lost with it and this all ultimately crippled much of the second cour

Yet it wasn't quite enough to completely ruin what is essentially one of the most potent shows ever, with spectacular as fuck visuals and the most wonderful MC that would carry 7 world on her own.

Now this is a great end to a great anime.

If it just ended without the last scene it would've been just a good end to a good anime.

Finally an anime that tackles the issue and shows you a result.
Yeah yeah magic is in your heart and Diana is the living proof.
But that last scene is just perfect.

The small gust of wind moving slightly the broom, showing that something is moving, there is progress.
And the surprise at the end, because dreams really come true.

9/10

Everything was just beautiful, Chariot and Croix became friends again, Andrew supported Akko giving faith, because the true magic comes from within us.
See how Chariot and Croix support Akko and her friends to stop the missile is wonderful, and also how each one gives all their hopes, leaving one by one is pure gold.
I like that Akko and Diana fulfill their dream together, they saved the world and brought happiness to everyone, I am sure that one day Akko will be the best witch, and it is wonderful that she has managed to fly, I will always remember this anime with love and pride, and I will always hope to see more.

Man, so cliche, BUT I DONT CARE. This show was one of the feel-good stories. I went into it because I really liked the song "Shiny Ray"... I'm one of those people who checks out anime based on OP songs, yeah I said it. Speaking of Shiny Ray, when that song started playing during the missile scene, I got so HYPEDDDD. YESSSSS!!!!

Wow, this was such a wholesome show! Hopefully I can show my kids it some day, I think I found a perfect starter anime, haha.This finale had the Studio Trigger vibe, even though it was a little on the calm side. Akko believed not only in herself, but she also believed in the people who believed in her! Very nice, Studio Trigger. Very nice! Little Witch Academia was quite the broomstick ride, 10 out of 10 - I very much had a good time!

Finally got to finish this anime
Overall its pretty good
From the outside its like cute girls just having fun but as the episode progresses the story and plot get thickens.

It had flaws but despite of it, its still good.
Great plot twist in the latter episode.

I like it in the end Diana's friends became friends of Akko's friends.
Also that fight it will be so unrealistic if only Akko the one fighting that thing thankfully they add Diana in that fight and throughout of it she's the one who guiding Akko, then they able to beat it together.

So imma give this a 9/10.

Excellent finale to an excellent rollercoaster of an anime. The directing in this particular episode was AMAZING, and the way everything happened felt so true to the messages and charisma of the show itself. It's over the top, but full of charm and compassion. The ending with Akko finally being able to fly a bit was a superb way to wrap it up too.

Gonna give it a 10 on MAL here. Initially I was a 9 leaning to an 8 before the rewatch, but now it's a top 20 anime for me easily. The original movie is probably the best part of the franchise but this anime adaptation came close in the end. The end to a magical journey, although I would not be surprised if I rewatched it again in a year or two.

I loved it, all the beauty and the smile of a world stacked in one epic scene!!!
This serie, from the first episode, make me smile and hopefull. The animation is amazing!


Also I really loved the scene when Diana and Akko killed the missile
A good shaw for the eyes !

I was sure, until the first episode that both of them are link...
this final complicity just made my day
they share the same dream, and the same idole, from 2 differents socials milieux and they finally became great friends
I would not be surprise if they marry each others ❤️😘😄

I watched this anime because I wanted to take a break. I've just finished Mo Dao Zu Shi novel and Banana Fish anime, both which left me with a heavy heart. I was browsing through random anime to pick something lighthearted and fun, but I couldn't believe I scored a gem. I'm adding this to my favorites list!

Cool I guess, but it wasn't really about a 'little witch academy.' Trigger could have chosen any setting for this story, since magic in the end is just a substitute for the innate ability of the main character which is powered by 'ganbattes' and dreams. Lots of typical shounen Trigger shit, and very little to do with Sucy, Lotte or anybody else but Akko. And it seems like they didn't know how Akko should act for an entire series, so they just made her annoying. They had so much time and it felt like they did nothing within it.

The short movies were better, and somehow those felt more character driven. Hell, the main conflict of this show probably would have worked better as a movie (not that the 'villain' collecting the negative emotions of people was actually interesting but still).

Disappointed.

wow, what an amazing finale. was such an absolutely beautiful episode and really loved the part where akko and diana went up to space and defeated the missile thing especially, how everything built up and came together and then got solved and stuff too was just so great! although i did notice the story and things maybe kinda fell apart at the end, ill forgive it because this was just so epic. those last scenes with croix and chariot were cool and that very last one with akko finally learning how to fly really made me smile, also is it just me or was that jasminka girl the only one of their group who didnt get much development/her own arc? anyways, this is definitely one of the better anime and was quite a nice watch. definitely one of the good anime out there so its kinda surprising its not rated over 8 on here but nonetheless, i overall really enjoyed this and i'd give it solid a 6/10.

The "Shooting Star" came back to Akko just in time! They put a stop to the missile, and the world is saved! The "Shiny Rod" has fulfilled its purpose, and has gone back into space, which was an emotional moment for Akko. All is as it should be.

And finally, Akko learned to fly a broom!

This is one of the best anime I've ever seen, hands down. I love magic anime, and this is no exception. I'm going to buy the "Little Witch Academia: VR Broom Racing" game for my PSVR right now!

Wow.. That finale sure was freakin great! It's a little bit clich with all that people believing but it still is pretty epic. And it end with her finally flying on herself!

At first I was really hesitant to watch this because it's an all girls anime. It's an 25 episode series and I'm gonna be honest that some eps is really unnecessary, that made me borong to watch.. maybe to prolong the series or something. BUT thankfully it did paid with amazing story plot, world building and character developments. Also props to the studio Trigger's unique animation. It's really well done and beautiful, specially on that final episode

8/10 but with that last episode surprised me, I'm gonna make it a 9/10, bee so long since I rated an anime a 9 :)

Now if your hesitant to watch this, give it a try. Even if it's an all witch girl anime, you'll enjoy it as much as I enjoyed it

Good ending for the series, but I must say this anime is totally a children story. Nothing wrong with it, but I would probably like it better If I was a teeneger. Generally it was just really cute and I enjoyed watching it as a break from serious mature content, you just don't think about it much, just watch and that's it. Overall 7/10.

I'm sad that it's over but I've got a new favorite anime in the end! The main and side stories were a lot of fun. There isn't a character that I didn't like. The music and animation style is beautiful. The character chemistry is well done. I did binge most of it! Time seems to fly when you're having fun.

I really enjoyed this show. The rocket broom was so cool with different stages and everything. And everyone supporting Akko as they detached was cute too. I loved Akko and all the characters grew on me. From start to beginning, LWA was amazing. And the ending, Constance spoke.

I'm glad Chariot and Croix still care about each other after all that has happened. And I hope Croix is able to find the cure for the Wagandea pollen.

10/10
