| just another overrated stuff that reddit hyped up as usual |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| Little witch Academia was an excessively family feel good story with an incredibly simple story and characters executed remarkably, particularly for a 26 minute or so duration. Story is also very fun and really goes to show how you can excel at making a basic magical conception without having to consist of little to no original ideas. Also, it's studio trigger so obviously consistent and smooth animation; Very suitable for the theme and was a huge contribution to the fun spirit of the films. Appropriate music and defining character designs, enough to get a sense of the characters' personalities. The characters themselves weren't bland and were very expressive with the role they played in the films, honestly I could go on as it's one of my all time favorite kids animated films. They're many reasons why Little witch academia is hyped up, but I believe it's kids-friendly and a very brisk family feel good movie, so such expectations would be for the series as well. |
| Why yu gettin' cheeky? (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |
| Because..... it's good? |
| ? Studio ? or Story ? or another reason ? all of them. |
 |
| I haven't watched the movies, so I can't really comment on that, but the first episode was extremely enjoyable. I probably have the highest expectations for this show atm. |
 |
| What makes it popular? -Studio Trigger -Engaging and unique characters -The story captures the grand adventure vibe and is really hooking you and engaging on a pretty simple premise of following your dreams no matter how far they may be. I seen the OVA and movie by the way. |
| I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon. |
| Alot of people refer it from the OVA's and Studio Trigger. OVA was an original which got the hype since it's Trigger. |

| Because it's very very good and the best NEW show from the season |

ziggy_Z said: Because it's the anime version of Harry Potter, with little moe girls instead. The only similarity to Harry Potter is that they both at magic school, its popular because of the short and the movie and even if it's similar what is the problem if it's good. This show is not moe , moe is something like "gohuumon wa usagi desultory ka??" It's not only the animation that makes an anime moe it's more how the characters behave,this one is more like "kill la kill " I know we have less realistic animation now then before,and that is really bad but that doesn't mean to judge an anime only by its style. And sometime maybe an anime is popular because it's really good. |

DrBlock42 said: Shad0w77 said: "Sadly" it is licensed by Netflix (That means ONLY Netflix - The physical release is probably handled by another company. I think Knights of Sidonia was Funimation). They'll release the first 13 episodes in around three months, then three months later the rest - no simulcast (if the do it as usual). I downloaded a fansub because I was simply too curious about how good it is. Now I'll wait until all 25 episodes are out and watch it in one sitting on Netflix.Where did you watch the episode? I did not see it on Crunchyroll or Funimation? I cannot wait to get back from work and watch it :D That is not so bad then. I will probably wait for it to be release on Netflix then since they do a good job :) I might just watch the first one with fansubs since I am really curious as well :P |
| It's super friendly, not pretentious, and definitely not aiming to look more than what it is: a fun show about a girl who is super passionate about magic. Regarding her personality being a silly airhead, that's subjective, you either love it or hate it. I'm pretty happy loving it, you do whatever you fancy. |

| In 9/10 cases, the worst thing about an anime is its fandom. |
SenpaiJay98 said: Because it's very very good and the best NEW show from the season well the competion is kind of pathetic this season so not much of a praise it seems that outside of sequels this will be the worst season in a long while |
| It's a really feel-good show and you can tell it's a passion project; there a lot of cynical anime out there nowadays. It's also refreshing for a lot of people (including me) to see something that 's not hung up on some kind of crowd-pleasing agenda like moe, or glorified homosexuality, or politics, etc. It's just a good time all around, highly recommended! |
 |
| Well this is popular because of the films that came out few years earlier. They were from a project called Anime Mirai(or some other thing), there were a couple of more Anime titles, but Little Witch was the most successful one(I think), ahead of Death Billiards(Death Parade first "version"). The story was different from what you usually see, the art was fresh and the animation was really well made which had good reviews and all. It created a solid fanbase, then the Studio made a Kickstarter for the second movie and the goal was met, that's why you see people saying "studio Trigger saves anime, let the memes coming". What you see today is the result of all of it. |

moozooh said: It's popular because when the first OVA came out, it was the first time in fucking years when a straightforward magical fantasy story was made for all ages/genders, and with such incredible warmth and affection towards the world and its characters that not every Ghibli movie would be able to compare to it favorably. No pointless fanservice nor otaku pandering, no cheesy humor, no shounen exuberance, no edgy deconstruction—just a tightly-written, consistently well-executed feel-good magical fantasy story. I was 28 when I watched the first OVA, and at no point did I feel like my intelligence was insulted in any way or that its writers were employing cheap tricks to elicit my emotions. That's a much rarer thing than one might expect. With Miyazaki out of the picture for good and Shinkai mainly focused on teenager audience, there aren't many active directors or studios who can make a quality feel-good anime in such a setting without resorting to pandering or some sort of metatextual satire. The only one that comes to mind is Mamoru Hosoda, who takes three years to make a movie—and even then I can't honestly say something like Wolf Children qualifies for "feel-good". Don't get me wrong—it's an incredible movie, but there's a lot of sadness in it, too, and a child wouldn't be able to enjoy it as much as an adult, in my opinion. ^What moozooh said. Very good post. |

It's crazy, even for Trigger! I rather agree with you. There are no details on the shading or reflections of the hair, and the chara design are actually simple. Animation is easier, for sure. To answer the initial question, I think the series is popular because the animation studio Trigger already has an excellent reputation (Kill la Kill, Uchuu Patrol Luluco) but also for the entertaining (short) movies already known of Little Witch Academia. However I can easily say the scenario is very basic and the characters are very simple and unidimensional for the moment. It remains to be seen how the characters will be developed. In this case, Tirigger has 25 episodes to do it. The last episode was a little empty and without much interest scenario except the appearance of Cavendish and the presentation of the different teachings |

I understood you were talking about animation. Only the first part of my comment was addressed to you. (It wasn't clear, I admit) I agree with what you say about the animation of Little Witch Academia but it's very beautiful to watch during the action scenes. (for instance I think of the last scene of episode 1 when Akko uses her super technique "Shiny Arc") Personally, in the same genre, I prefer Flip Flappers. |

LoneWizzy said: @TuyNOM Personally, in the same genre, I prefer Flip Flappers. Well ye...Even comparing these is an insult to FlipFlap's animation...It had the best animation of the season...And it's art was more unique than LWA too...Don't you exaggerate slightly on LWA? However I acknowledge to have been amazed by the animation of Flip Flappers (episode 3 and 8 ++), but I won't talk about it anymore because it's off-topic... |

TuyNOM said: yeee true...Since people exaggerate it's animation and even praise the statue scene(which must really be a joke) in epsode 2 i kinda went too harsh too...Episode 2 had really bad animation but episode 1 was much better,will see how it goes after episode 3...LoneWizzy said: @TuyNOM Well ye...Even comparing these is an insult to FlipFlap's animation...It had the best animation of the season...And it's art was more unique than LWA too...

I think it will be difficult for Trigger (or any studio) to maintain a similar quality to all episodes. In my opinion, Trigger will put everything into the "key" episodes but the episodes as the last one that don't require great animation will be more sloppy. |

Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
I didn't say the opposite. Re: Zero even had excellent animation on several episodes. |
|
| it was...normal?Unimpressive?Forgetable? First part of it was heads spinning around and it was so fast that you cant even see anything...Second part was a still image with the hand getting longer...That was the only scene they had to animate and even that had derpy frames...  |
