| Probably my favourite episode ever lol I don't know what will happen next but I highly doubt it will be funny as this one xD |
| Welp, at least it made much more sense than Quidditch. I just loved how Akko went on a little traning spree, JUST so she can learn to fly her broom. And I see they managed to fit the troublemaker trio into this episode too, which gave the first sign that this series is going to be very different from the movie. Also when Sucy said "No way", I just hope that the English dub changes this to "Get Out". It adds more flare to it. And I just noticed this now, but in the poster, Akko is shown with the Shooting Star, so we can expect it to come back at one point, in time I think (months? years? Eons?) And slowly, we are inching towards the connection between Ursula and Chariot. Overall, one of my favourite episodes this season. |
ONWARDS! Away from homework and on to more anime!!! |
| This show has been everything I hoped it would be so far! I really like how Diana has been getting a lot more character development than she did in the OVAs. In the OVAs she came off as a flat out bitch; however, so far she seems like she has a lot of expectation thrown on her, not necessarily of her own choosing. She holds Akko to high standards which can be off-putting but you know she wants to preserve the integrity of the school. I'm extremely excited to see where her character goes from here on. Love this show! |
 |
| This episode was so funny & awesome xD |
| Loved it! I was expecting Diana to be more stuck up however the anime is taking a great rout. Was nice of her to help her back up, wish Akko would of won though :C |
 |
| Dissapointed it wasn't quidditch jk... |
| Woah! Did anyone else realize that the ED was updated to show the aftermath of the events of this episode!? New scenes include: - Shooting Star flying free. - The two girls from Diana's team opening the "prize" from the race. - Akko, Sucy and Lotte having tea at the cafe with not-Chumlee. Amazing_Stoner said: Episode was really fun. But where in the hell did she get that cannon from? The cannon was the same one that Sucy used to train Akko. akiba-kei said: I mean, this anime may change the industry (just like EVA, or Suzumiya Haruhi) in some way. It's anime, but don't feels like anime, but still anime, and I like this anime. There is no fanservice, typical japanese moe attitude, but it's moe in a way, I'm always smiling like an idiot. No over-sentimentalism like some favorites (SAO, Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso, and other shit). It has a lot of energy and dynamism. Woah there, let's not get ahead of ourselves. LWA is amazing, but it's not a phenomenon like Evangelion or Haruhi. Those were anime that defined a generation and were made at just the right time to capitalize on the social context of the era. The earnest simplicity of LWA is great, but it doesn't have the "over-sentimentalism" to drive anything. akiba-kei said: I hope and Ursula doesn't happen to be Chariot, maybe it's her sister, since they share the same eyelashes (I don't want it to be predictable). Just my opinion. Er, that would be horrible. The current dynamic between Ursula and Akko is made possible because of Ursula's (supposed) identity. A fake-out would just undermine everything. I'm really don't get why so many Western fans think that predictable =/= bad. |
| Man Akko's passion and drive is so fucking admirable. Also the black witches are top tier. I also like how this anime has really humanized Diana. She ahs a good heart and is passionate about getting better as a witch. |
| I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon. |
Atlas77 said: Well the characters are growing for starters. Also it's obvious to me but I don't know if others see it but let's just say Ursula is someone Akko loves. Anyway this is good character development while introducing us to characters we seen before. But the point is pretty simple it is highlighting the first year at this magic girls at this school.We're in episode three but what's the point of all this? The only thing that I can see is that Ursula acts really suspicious, like she were the witch that Akko idolatrous. |

| @MasterHavik - Some people are being a little impatient, haha. Its only episode three and that means they are still introducing the characters and expanding on their world. This anime is still a healing anime and that means there will be episodes like this. |

| The dude from Pawn stars knows now that he appeared in an anime. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2017-01-24/pawn-stars-chumlee-appears-in-little-witch-academia-anime/.111419 |

| I'm sorry, i liked the OVA but this series isn't my type of show. Too childish. Dropped. |
| God this episode was so fun. The shenanigans Akko was going through during her training was so darn funny, and the blatant cheating in the race was also great. I'm wondering if the broom will stay with Akko. She's riding it in the anime visual, it'd be weird if it was only a one time thing. Maybe it'll be grateful that she broke it's chains or something. |

| IK im not the only one thinking this, but I think Shiny Chariot is Professor Ursula |
| ^ Watch the OVA if you haven't. Oh man, lol, I love Trigger's wacky animation. If there's one thing this series has had since the first OVA, it's charm. |
| I knew i wasn't the only one that thought about Chum Lee in this episode lol |
People who did not see OVAs are minority here. Also, it was obviouis from ep. 1. |
 |
| really nice episode, i am sure many people got Harry Potter vibe when watching this, especially after Akko got her broom, reminds me to Firebolt....it's been so long i see a female protagonist who not annyoing like in common anime, she seriously reminds me to Yuuko from Nichijou... |
 |
I love Akko's face when she's pulling out the potion. |
| Let's play so Quidditch! Ok, maybe not. This anime is so stupidly fun to watch, I love it jaja. PD: Ursula is babe. |
JustDan said: I wonder if the magic broom will make a return. It seemed like the story was going in a direction about how there could be a hidden meaning behind the broom. For example, the broom was one of Shiny Chariot's cards and/or it was a free-spirited magical item waiting to choose a worthy rider. It's a little cliche for the main character to get everything, but it's Akko.....she tries soooo hard. She deserves something. And unlike your generic show, she actually DOES something for it. I don't expect a deeper connection, when I first saw the broom I had a similiar thought, like in Harry Potter, but nevermind that. |

I loved seeing the 'teach Akko how to fly' montage xD The three delinquents from the 2nd movie are back yay <3 They never showed what the prize was for winning the relay! I was so curious! |

Greenhillz said: Hey ! I've only watched the first episode of this anime, and it was subpar on every aspect. Is it worth watching if you don't have a witch fetish, or if you are already 13 years old like me ? Thanks ! I'm in my late 20s, and don't see the point of your question. |
| I wonder why Akko can't ride a broom, it should have anything to do with herself. But in the end, I was disappointed that she didn't get to keep the legendary broom, it looks sick :D |
 |
| Awesome!!! That was just awesome!!! And to me this concluded my suspicion from the movies that Ursula-sensei is actually Chariot....sure I don't know this for sure....but that's what I'm going to chose to believe lol. |
 |
| awesome episode .. damn akko really took a risk out there ,even chained herself in that broom lol .. |

I'm in my late 20s too and I can say that this kid is just a troll that even copypaste reviews. |
| I was honestly not expecting something this great. Its trigger after all. I was sure it would be good, but this is the kind of anime you can recommend to newcomers. When someone is asking me what is anime? I will say Death Note, Attack on Titan, Gurren Lagann, Little witch academia and everything between them. first competitor for the anime of the year is here. |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| this was a really cute episode xD and i can't wait for more to come!! |
| I guess Akko was riding shooting star. No one else? okay. |

AvidAnimeViewer said: Fuck, someone beat me to making this post. I guess in this universe Chumlee finally got promoted, good on him. I wonder if Pawn Stars airs on Japanese television. |
| So will Akko get cheat items in every other eps due to her only being 'mad-passionate' about magic, no-one else is, and still be talentless in everything else?? So the rivalry between Diana, a methodical-talented witch and Akko, just' MAGIC/CHARIOT-sugoi-sugoi' is established. The only magic I saw in these 3 eps from Akko is lighting the canon. Not sure I want to continue this show, as I also find Akko a bit annoying. |
| Glad I caught up because this episode was really good. Ako's antics are great. |

Hey, I just wanted to make a comment about Chumlee but people already beat me to it. It was more of an off-hand comment than a spoon-feeding request (thank you for answering, though). |
