Fun but Underdeveloped
Overall, this show is a lot of fun to watch. The animation is smooth and unique (what else can be expected from Trigger?), the art style is quirky and eye-catching, and the character designs are all fascinating and eye-catching, the exception being Akko, whose generic look works to stress her normality compared to those around her anyways. If I did have one complaint, it would be that the world building is vague and overlooked. The magic system is nebulous and not well outlined, the concept surrounding the spirits and magical creatures isn't as explored as it could've been, and the setting itself is more vague than a thirty-second-long game review. Still, it's more than worth the time to watch it as a relatable story about a girl who won't stop climbing the latter no matter how many times she slips or gets kicked from above.
Quite enjoyable....even for some middle aged folks like me.
I am NOT among the demographic group who would normally watch anime. However, my oldest daughter loves anime and speaks the language...so she often introduces me to various anime that she thinks I'd enjoy. My favorites are the quirky ones, such as "Azumanga Daioh" or "Haikyuu!!" (a volleyball anime)...not those involving mecha or card games. I have nothing against these other types of anime...but I prefer the stranger 'little' ones...and "Little Witch Academia" is certainly different and fits this bill.
The story is very similar to the general plot of Disney's "The Owl House" but not as crazy nor Hieronymous Bosch-like! It's the story of Akko, a very eager but terrible student at all all-girls school for witches. It's a lot like the Harry Potter series...if Harry were MUCH more eager and MUCH more incompetent. It helps that some of the other characters (Sucy especially) are a lot of fun and the stories incredibly unique and fun.
Overall, a cute and enjoyable show which is available now on Netflix. And, if you do watch, you do have the choice of watching it in an English dub or, as I did, with Japanese and English subtitles.

I don't watch much anime but LWA is fantastic
'Little Witch Academia' is a beautifully animated series with great characters. I will not write much about the animation because anyone who watches a few minutes of the show will notice how well done it is. On the character side, the two leads, Akko and Diana are fantastic. Both are very strong and well developed in their roles. The (original) voice acting is good, and even the secondary characters are memorable (despite their tendencies to meld into the background). As for the story, I thought the first two seasons were well done (peaking in the second half of S2) and I cannot wait for the next adventure.
Really the only downside is that the English dub is terrible (common in anime) and that the subtitles have a few grammatical errors and sometimes do not articulate what's actually happening on screen. Overall the first two seasons of LWA are a solid 9/10 and I believe it can get to 10/10 if it continues to improve.

Loved it!
I think its a very underrated show;. Cause this show is AMAZING! i really recommend it. I loved it, thats all i can say.
I don´t know why, but I love this anime
I going to be honest, i had not any expectative about this anime, even when i hear that wass ne of the best on 2017,
I finally watch it becuase i don't know, and i just can say WOW. I realy enjoy the series. It's fun without be inmature, the dramatic parts are fine, the history is simple but is catchy. I actually think that it becomes in one of my favorites,manly the second part. When the history had well difined the characters, starts to the main conflict, and it works.
I really think that this is the clain of anime that everybody must to watch at less once on their lives.
I put 8, but it's really an 8,4.
Despite all the god points that i describe, the history had some little mistakes.
For example, the first part of the history really fell like it's going nowhere, like a clasical students anime but with magic. From the episode 12 is when it starts to take a diferent way.
I really enjoy and I recomend it.
Did you know
- TriviaOriginally, Andrew Hanbridge was going to confess his feelings to Atsuko Kagari and they would end up together this idea was ultimately abandoned because Yô Yoshinari hated it and may have meant that Akko was working for Andrew's sake and not for herself. However Erica Mendez (Atsuko Kagari's English voice actress) and Lucien Dodge (Andrew Hanbridge's English voice actor) are together in a relationship in real life.
