Andzl said: I don't know how a person like you didn't like the ending. Until the 15 minute mark I thought it was good, but nothing special indeed. But when Trigger went all out with the animation, the OST and that Diana + Akko moment, I was covered in tears and goosebumps.I have to be honest with you You all could see how much I love this anime, but this ending episode was meh Like, the rocket scene should have been intense, but it wasn't because the music didn't draw that emotion out of me. Whole this Diana & Akko scene, it wasn't intense at all. Just cute. And for the great finale it should have been AMAZING, not CUTE. I loved the ending when Akko finally learned how to fly, but that felt rushed as well.. I needed 15 more seconds at least, of their happiness and interacting with each other, so I actually feel their happiness. The rocket scene was so damn bad I can't even begin to explain. AMAZING animation WASTED because of someone's bad directing. I don't know, I just felt very bored trough whole episode. :( And I'm sad that the finale ended that way. It's still my favorite anime of all time, but I'm disappointed with this ending I don't know who directed this episode, but please, don't let that person direct finale ever again. |
 |
| I cried. Thank you trigger. Thank you Akko |
 |
i actually think it was great, i even had to re-watched the full episode and i do that like 3 or 4 times per year at most =D |
fav "new" girls from winter <3 (2 extra girls this time, but 36 seasonals so whatever) ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks |
| It was alright I guess... But I have such high expectations from Trigger that I guess I expected something far greater and bigger! I thought the reveal that Chariot had stolen Akko's magic was a great twist and I just figured the final 3 episodes were gonna be more epic with Croix as the central villain. I ultimately think THAT was the biggest flaw.... Still, it was fun I guess...7/10 |
| Cried for like half the episode (maybe i cry too easily). Anyways, im really gonna miss this series, hopefully there will more. Not much else to say besides Little Witch Academia is awesome <3 9/10 |
| This proved to be a pretty mediocre show. They could have done soooo much with the plot, but it is what it is. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| How do you even start liking anime so much? How can you fall in love with something so simple? They are supposed to be just animations but yet they never disappoint me, they deliver something that i've never got from anything, that's why it's impossible for me to stop watching anime. They amount of joy i get from this is countless. How can you enjoy so much an anime about witches learning magic in school? Like wtf? How? xD How an anime that i never expected anything from it became one of my favorites? I don't know, thank you studio Trigger for this great artwork! Now going to the episode xD  Those outfits, they looked so great on them. They did a great job! The new nine witches ;) Andrew's father and his friend are so stupid, especially his friend. Glad that at least his father opened his eyes. Akko did what she wanted to do, make everyone smile! And let's not forget about that epic ending where Akko and Diana were on the broom, amazing moment :3 Never thought that i would like Diana so much xD After 25 episode she finally did it hahaha  She saved Earth from a giant magical shark nuke and yet she still can't fly ahaha 10/10, just Akko things xD I will never forget these 6 months, it was an amazing run! I will miss this so much. So what now? Can we expect a 2nd season? Or this is the end? If yes then ok, i prefer an ending like this than bs ending and 3 seasons. I saw that the manga is still ongoing? Guess i will take a look ;) I can't even find the right words to describe how much i love this and enjoyed this! Thank you so much studio Trigger. I will miss them all so much. <3  <3 |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| ANIME STATUS: SAVED THANKS, TRIGGER! |
| they really did end it in the flashest Trigger way possible was to distracted thinking about how well the animation was and how hard it must of been to animate lol plus the dual final moments with Akko and Diana so good waited so long for that. cliche as it may be it was highly enjoyable with all the feels good ,they could of went with a more darker ending but it wouldn't of fit with the overall tone that little witch has so i wouldn't of had it any other way. some of the earlier episodes kinda dragged on and didn't add much till we got the 2nd cour were the plot finally kicked but i had a fun time watching this so 7.8/10 ! |

| We've finally come full circle, we started with a believing heart is your magic, and ended with it. Nice. Final battle was pretty cool, but I don't like how the legendary broom came out of nowhere. Kind of an asspull. Great animation though. Everything seemed to wrap up nicely in the end. Magic has been restored in the world and Akko can fly. Welp, I'd say this was a good show, but not great. Honestly I find myself continuously going back to the world "underwhelmed". I feel like this show had great potential, but I can't help feel that it was wasted in some parts. Too much focus on Akko, for one. I think they expanded the world fairly well. I would've liked to see them in more classes though, sort of like in the OVAs. In the end, Little Witch Academia is still a franchise I really love for its whimsical fun and charming characters and world. But I can only give it a 7/10 for now. I'll most certainly re-watch it to see if my opinion changes at all. But for my re-watch, it'll probably be with the dub instead. While it feels like the series could very well be over for good, I sincerely hope we see something more in the future. |
| I love the ending. Funny how Akko learns to fly while her teacher can't, just like what Croix said. The way the final fight happened, I feel like the more casual episodes weren't pointless or irrelevant anymore despite how they appeared before. |
| There's no inherent right or wrong in this universe, but when we think with emotions rather than logic, we make things so. |
| this anime needs a yuri tag |
ButtSlapper said: Think Akko's just friends with Diana. I mean, I suppose you can argue that Akko and Diana are like Tyson and Kai from Beyblade or Yugi and Kaiba from Yu-Gi-Oh or Ash and Gary from Pokemon. Or some other shounen show MC with a standoff-ish/stoic/highly talented/can-back-up-their-arrogance rival.this anime needs a yuri tag |
| There's no inherent right or wrong in this universe, but when we think with emotions rather than logic, we make things so. |
| I must confess was expecting something better than a Peter Pan / Tinker Bell act. Maybe it's because I was behind the door when believing hearts were handed out. |
 |
| What truly enjoyable ride this has been. There wasn't a single moment that felt dull and the series definitely took what the OVA had given us and went beyond my expectations. Is it too greedy of me to ask for another season when we got 25 episodes right off the bat? 9/10 |
 |
| I will miss this series I loved the movies and I loved the TV anime ... just simply a great watch all around. Congratulations on finally taking flight Akko~ 9/10 |
Triggers best anime wow what a ride. Glad they hinted pretty strongly at a s2. Hope this sells fantastically in Japan. |

| Beautiful ending. Unlikely but I want to see a sequel. |
  |
| The ending was a little cheesy but for some reason, I feel it really fits with this series. It was filled with a bunch of great moments; the shuttle take off, the final boss being a living missile, the broom making its long-awaited comeback, the cute smile explosion, red-haired Ursula, Hannah and Barbara finally being a part of Akko's friend group. I also really like how Akko finally flew, it feels so much better that she anticlimactically hovers instead of a big take off. My only issue is, WHERE IS THE INFERNO COP S2 TEASE? |

| Thought it was a shame they didn't really build on the whole "Nine New Witches" thing. |

ideallyqualia said: I loved the finale but also...I don't understand how or why the legendary broom suddenly appeared. (I never understood what happened to the moon either, so I guess me not understanding this show is just a thing that happens, but still, I wish I knew what actually happened.) Since episode 3, when it was set free, the broom just kept flying over and over around the world. If you go back and watch carefully, a lot of episodes had internet news/journals front pages reporting that the broom was seen in some part of the world, and from what we know from its story in episode 3, it just never stopped. It's also kinda "alive" (it has a will on its own), so it makes sense that it was flying in the stratosphere and noticed the space battle that was going on (also almost everyone in the community was expecting that for the finale) About the Moon... Chariot shoot a giant magic arrow to it. That X on the surface is a giant crater, and it was the breaking point for Chariot. It was shown in episode 23. I hope this somehow helps clarifying things for you. |

| awww it was such a good anime and i love akko sm :') cant wait to get her figure !! |
| That was wow. Really epic. I raised the score by 1.5 just because of how epic it was. Like it was one amazing thing after another. Those pats. Andrew believing in Akko and the crew. Akko/Diana pair-up. Chariot/Croix pair-up. Shiny Rod. Really satisfied. And Akko flew. I got no regrets. Thank you, trigger. 8.5/10 |
 |
| "Legendary Broom" was such an obvious Chekhov's gun that I'd be disappointed if it didn't show up in the finale. And I wasn't! Overall, this series uses most if not all the tropes of the genre, but still doen't end up with a "by the numbers" feeling. It's a familiar story with a familiar plot and familiar characters done incredibly well. 9/10 |
| That final attack reminded me of TTGL so much, lol. |
 |
| Dang! TTGL vibe, like how Akko and the others reach the rocket by using the same method as the TTGL last episode. And they also used the believing fuel to power up. I really enjoyed this finale. |
 |
| LWA is one of the few anime that can actually make me "feel", enough to even bother writing this forum post after months of just lurking. I do feel somewhat empty inside to know that this is over. I really enjoyed getting to watch this ever week for the past 6 months. It has been a good ride however. People may argue Akko is "dumb" and "annoying", but it was nice to see an optimistic MC who realized her shortcomings and didn't let it stop her from believing in her dreams. I do appreciate the positivity and reinforcement. |
| allo |
| i was kinda dissapointed with the last week eps so im trying not to expecting much but, this finale totally blew me away.. the one that got me excited the most was when the winged-broom showed up, oh also that totally-not-gay shiny arc scene lol there is some up and down but overall im satisfied 9+1/10 +1 is for constanze |
| amazing finale 😭 💔 Akko can fly |
| I liked that bit at the end seeing Lotte and Barbara read Nightfall together. |
| This was amazing. It's a good change after watching elaborate plots with a lot of knots and at a nick of time solution. Let's keep it simple. Akko managed to fly. I'm waiting for season two, waiting, waiting, waiting... |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| While I had mixed feelings about how the series' production turned out overall - I'm still a sucker for Trigger's space-orientated ending episodes. |
| AHAHAHAHA WHAT AN ENDING RIGHT. Who would have thought that all you had to do was believe in something to succeed in saving the world. Super cliche solution aside, everything about this finale was absolutely fantastic. A great conclusion to a... pretty good anime. Honestly, I didn't enjoy this as much as I hoped I would, especially for the first half. The movies just felt better compared to the actual anime series, but again, it was pretty good. Also I ship Andrew and Akko hard. 7/10. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Incredible 10/10 Enjoyable throughout with a great cast of characters. Akko was a great protagonist. Lotta love put into this and you could feel it. |
| I expected more out of this anime.... was pretty average to me. |
Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| This anime is a good example how to take promising ideas (and characters) and implement in such a horrible way that the final result will be acceptable for kids under 10 imho. 4/10 :/ P.S. I was so happy that in addition of everything, there wasn't any harem in the show :D |

I hope this somehow helps clarifying things for you. Thanks for trying, but that was about as much as I already knew. This explains what happened but not why. It seems like plot convenience that the broom showed up to help. (Thanks for pointing out that the broom made cameos in other episodes, I didn't know that.) Anyway what I'm genuinely still confused about is the moon. Croix had acted like Chariot had committed something terrible when she shot the moon; am I missing something here? Did that cast a terrible spell on Earth? If all she did was make a mark on the moon, I don't understand why they made a big deal about it. |
| Ending was so persona i got hyped as fuck |
| Awn, it was so cute and cheesy, I just had this big grin in my face the entire episode. For a moment I though Croix was going to ̶A̶z̶k̶a̶b̶a̶n̶ prison, cause you know, she kinda made a big mess... All in all, this anime was exactly what I expected, and I'm very satisfied with it. And I would happily welcome a second season even though I'm not sure there's a story for it. |
| Baby, daijobanai... |
| Easily one of the best animes in the last 2 years. 10/10 Can't wait for the dub for the show |
| Easy 8/10, not quite up there with Imaishi's best but still it's my AOTY so far. |
