Good story, Not enough for a whole film

A bit overrated, but still an amazing film

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

I thought this anime was just adorable. The story goes a girl who wants to be a witch since she was child and gets to go to a witch school. She then meets the two other girls (one weird, one absouletely nerdy lol) going to the same school as her and come across a few monsters that'll leave you crawling with fear. Afterwards they finally arrived at the open ceremony on time and are students of the Witch School. I tell ya, this anime was so cute and really good to watch. I really wish they made this into a series or another short film as a sequel. I really think a 26 minute short is not enough to cover the whole story but I suppose, that depends on what short you are watching at the same time! Definitely recommend watching this to all ages, especially witch lovers!

I have currently watched about 5 episodes of the series and I discovered this only yesterday and I have to say it is very helpful. I kept on wondering how Akko got Shinny Charotes goldenrod but this little pilot answers my question. On how she got her hands on it.I guess the best scene was the fight with the dragon.There is not really much I can talk about here since this is only a pilot to the actual series. However once when I have completed the whole series and watch the special, I will make a full review.

I am an anime fan, and I have seen a fair few in my time. This anime short blew me away. It is a beautiful, funny, fun and interesting adventure for all ages. The side characters, such as Sucy, are hilarious and very creative. It is a well-told story, with a good soundtrack and it instantly makes you want to see more. Little Witch Academia was a one-off anime short, at about 24 minutes, but their kickstarter campaign for Little Witch Academia 2 was successful, though a release date hasn't been announced. I for one can't wait until the follow up comes out, and many people feel the same. There is very little to fault with this. Verdict: A must-see for all anime fans.Stay classy, friends. Steve

As a young child Akko Kagari idolised a witch named Shiny Chariot so much that she decided to become a witch herself. When she gets to Witch Academy she is horrified to discover that her schoolmates have a low opinion of Shiny Chariot; believing her to give witchcraft a bad name with her shows. Akko does not excel at school; unlike the other girls she doesn't come from a family of witches and she hasn't learnt basic things like flying but is too proud to admit it. When the class goes into the labyrinth as part of a treasure hunt Akko is keen to slay monsters and rushes ahead of her friends Sucy and Lotte. Meanwhile Diana; the top witch in the school accidentally releases a dragon from deep within the labyrinth and everything anybody does to stop it just seems to make it bigger… inevitably it is Akko who must save the day with the help of magic she saw Shiny Chariot when she was young.This anime short is a lot of fun and packs a good little story into its short twenty six minute run time. Akko is a good protagonist; even though one can guess that she will eventually triumph she isn't too perfect… in fact she is far from perfect as she falls asleep in class, nearly kills herself trying to fly and races ahead in the labyrinth. Sucy and Lotte were fun sidekicks; especially Sucy; the results of her potions were quite hilarious. Diana made a good antagonist without being a bad person. The animation is very good with cute, distinctive character designs. There is nothing in the story to cause offence and even the scariest moments should be suitable for viewers of all ages. It is just a pity that this was a one off as I'd have loved to see more episodes.These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
