Akko's journey to meet Shiny Chariot is one full of charm. The world of Luna Nova is full of breathtaking environments and the team at Trigger have created a truly magical world. Trigger's unique and playful animation techniques have been used to their full effect to make the characters and the world they inhibit as vibrant as they can be. The show is full of references to western media and also previous Trigger works.
The music is fantastic and every track is full of the essence of adventure. The main theme in particular made me reach Kill La Kill levels of excitement.
It's always refreshing to see a character who has to struggle to become good at something. Akko is hardly witch material, but she endures the mockery of those around her so that she can fulfill her dream of meeting her idol and using magic to make people happy. I think some of that magic may have seeped into reality, because I was certainly happy when watching this show.
Trigger continues to show that it is possible to create a strong female cast of characters, with each one being distinct and memorable. Just like the shows before it LWA does not hold back on its craziness and it makes this a series to remember. All fans can hope for now is that a season 2 happens.
