| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- AKko is just too fun to watch. I love how she ecstatic she got and it was amusing to see her friend troll her while she was napping in class. I'm also starting to like "Shiny Day" (OP theme song) more now. Wasn't too impressed at first but it's quite catchy. The academy lessons gave me a good laugh mostly because the instructor seemed almost too into the lesson lol. We also got Diana's debut in this episode, quite a haughty girl imo with her intelligence as a prodigy. There's an obvious skill difference between her Akko. Personally, I think Akko overestimated herself so she has to develop her skills more, a lot more. (I think Diana still has a lot to learn too) Akko has a lot of potential. |

| Ako still has a lot to learn. She lacks control but she will probably learn to use it at some point. Diana might be arrogant she did mention that it wasn't just her who revived the tree and made the fairies or butterfly blossom. Guess a lot of things are going to happen. |
| Beautiful episode, another!!! Papriodia, a woman butterfly, gold shinning under the sunset sky, born by a mistake, born by obstinacy of a future cheerful witch!!! Diana is the best, the more inteligent, but Akko is the joyfulness of this series ;) |
| this anime is giving me a heathwarming sensation, i definitely like it even if its plot isn´t near to be complex |
| This show makes me feel like I´m watching a we stern kids cartoon...this is probably the most Disney-like thing to come out of Japan that isn´t Ghibli. Also   I can feel the memes being made at this moment |
 |
| very charmful but also a story in royal style. better than boku no pico academic |
| Nice episode. Good ED song. Magic lessons not as fun as Akko first thought. Diana is real skilled. Her friends are annoying though. That moving Statue looked cool. Love seeing the activation of Shiny Rod. Those butterflies are beautiful. |

| Animation as beautiful as ever, music continues to grow on me, Sucy best girl, hoping the whole Akko not getting credit for things she achieves doesn't become a theme. |
| Guess I'm the only one who thought it was pretty meh. I don't get the deal with the butterflies, it was kind of random. Also, Ursula sensei has Chariot's eyes... |

| I'm really liking the slower and more leisurely pace the series has compared to the movies. Now that this is going to be a full 2 cour series, Diana was my favorite character from the movies, so, glad we got to learn why she acts all high and mighty, even though deep down she isn't all that bad. She probably puts up the facade because she has to live up to the name and reputation of her family which has been around for 1500 years. |
| lol Sucy is just so funny xD It actually hurt me to have to watch Akko trying to use Shiny Rod to move the statue. We all knew it wasn't going to work, it took a lot of effort for me to not just close my eyes and not watch the embarrassing moment where she can't do it xD I'm loving the pacing for this, I'm extremely grateful that it's 25 eps, we can get a whole lot of character development, something I've wanted to see for Diana since the original LWA. She's by far one of my favorite characters for multiple reasons, including certain spoilers but regardless, I'm really hoping they flesh out her character more throughout the season.

| Diana is amazing. Very proud, but actually a nice girl that is incredibly capable. Seriously, the fact that this is absolutely Harry Potter in anime form makes this stand out from everything instantly. Great stuff. |
| Kou Yoshinari's part was noticeably best animated scene of episode. |
 |
| Glad to see that Akko isn't all powerful and that she still has a lot to learn Diana is pretty interesting character to say the least and even though it seems like she has a superiority complex, she's not half bad Good episode overall though....Really loving the school setting and that one teacher that wants to tutor Akko |

| This was a great episode. The magic lessons were not what Akko was expecting. Diana is quite skilled in magic. I really don't like the two girls that follow her. Those butterflies looked so beautiful. |
 |
| Such an awesome episode Yeah, this really looks like just an extended version of the two movies, not that I'm complaining |
| Beautiful episode. OP and ED <333 Diana <333 Ohh Papillion OMG |

| Hey look, so the perfect-smart-beauty Diana can do something wrong too. Which means it's time for Akko to do the action and maybe Diana's gratitude. But maybe that's for another time. |

I forgot that her last name is Cavendish, combined with her haughty attitude I'm never not gonna think of Cavendish from One Piece. It will be interesting to see more of her character. They already had her in the crowd of the Shiny Chariot show in the first episode, so her being an old fan of Shiny Chariot is still a thing, So the Shiny Rod will get more consistent use, that's nice. The butterflies were really cool. ED was nice, too. |
| I'm loving this already! So good and beautiful! |
 |
| Can we just take a second and appreciate the background art? Cus it was pretty stellar at the end Some quality panoramics: |
| Everything about this anime so far has been magical! The art, the story, the music.. the background music is especially majestic. This could easily be AOTY if it keeps up like this. |
 |
| Gotta love the mean girls of the school -sarcasm- ; anywho, another good episode. I thought I wasn't going to like this but Trigger is proving me wrong yet again. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| This show and its merchandising potential. I don't care if these cards are exclusives. I want them all. NOW. |
| Very pleasant episode. Animation and art are great. Good look at school life. |
 |
| she is so energetic monday morning, i just want to throw something at her XD |
| This every Monday morning *-* Let the fanboying/fangirling begin !! |
| Hopefully this show won't focus too much on the cards to make Akko do magic stuff and instead make her learn the hard way... or something. Oh, and have an actual plot and not just Akko/Chariot story. |

| Not as strong as the first episode,a rather boring episode actually. |
| so diana is the rich bitch character |
 |
| Akko is ecstatic about being in a witch academy, reminds me of Yue's experience in Mahou Sensei Negima! Sucy is great lol... So evil yet hilarious. I adore magic-school stories, especially ones like this that are whimsical. It's like what Harry Potter should have been. This is better. I disagree strongly with Akko, even if it's mundane and uneventful, i would never be sour or bored in a netherworld like this. Hell i'd be studying better than the rest, and shoot myself up to shaking the conceptual foundations of the material they teach at the school, i'd go above and beyond. Even a language class is fascinating if the language has meanings beyond just practical function. You're basically in a world where you have no prior knowledge to any of the elements, and every minute detail has a history and etymology on how it got to where it was at the point you experienced it. Though i guess the difference is that Akko is a baka. Why did she get sour with Diana after the statue thing? She should have been amazed by Diana's ability too, geez. ...Even Diana's magic is not exemplary, she still relies on wands and incantations. She'll be gaining some humility sooner than later. Diana is not nearly as stuck up as those types of chars usually are. She has an acquired and justified arrogance (one i'm familiar with), and in her hubris with the tree, she figured it out quickly; she's a wise girl. She's not my favourite, but i completely appreciate her type, she's not a fan of people playing little league thinking they're champions. This anime is top-notch... It's been quite some time since i've gotten some good whimsical plot like this. The music is fantastic too. (And 25 eps!!) Shradow115 said: I actually didn't notice that at first, and don't really remember the movies... That explains a lot really.They already had her in the crowd of the Shiny Chariot show in the first episode, so her being an old fan of Shiny Chariot is still a thing @RGN @gust11 Have a gif:  Sucy best girl LOL |

| Everything is so heartwarming and shiny... (no pun intended) I honestly can't wait to see the next episodes. Definitely one of the best animes from this season. |
| Another great episode, this show is just so damn charming (pun intended) I thought Diana was gonna be a typical bitch at the end and take all the credit but it's nice to see that they didn't have to rely on that cliche. Sucy seemed to take a lot of pleasure in petrifying that spider, I'm pretty sure she's gonna grow up to be a serial killer.  |

| Really good episode! I liked the first one better, but still enjoyable. Sucy is awesome, as usual. I think Diana is actually a really good hearted girl. :) Love the ED! Butterflies scene was gorgeous too! What I don't like is how it focuses a bit too much on Shiny Chariot thing, but I guess that's to be expected. Also, 25 episodes. I may die in peace now. |
