    Hello everyone! I hope you are well, and that you are having a good week, dear community of The Anime Realm. Today I bring you a new review! This time I want to talk about a very colorful anime full of magic, I found it very funny and entertaining. I think it is ideal to watch it with the little ones, because unlike others, it is very quiet, and for the whole family. I saw it a few years ago with my niece, and she liked it very much. It is Little Witch Academia, surely you have heard of it, or not. It has a very simple premise, but it is still captivating... We follow the story of Atsuko “Akko” Kagari, a young girl who ends up entering a witch academy, called “Luna Nova”.

    She enters this academy with the hope of following in the footsteps of her idol... after she arrives at this curious place, an adventure begins, where classic but very appreciated themes are explored... such as friendship, the determination to achieve our goals, and the power of art. This series is beautifully animated by the well known studio Trigger, creating super dazzling scenes... you can see the effort, each scene looks very carefully crafted and cared for, with lots of details, and a very vibrant color palette that makes this magical world come to life, and gives you all that fantasy atmosphere. The character designs also looked good to me, some of them very cute and endearing, each one with a well-defined personality that gives rise to appropriate and attractive situations to move the story forward.
    DALE CLICK AQUÍ PARA VER LA VERSIÓN EN ESPAÑOLHola a todos! Espero se encuentren bien, y que estén teniendo una buena semana, querida comunidad de The Anime Realm. El día de hoy les traigo una nueva reseña! Esta vez les quiero hablar de un anime muy colorido y lleno de magia, me pareció muy divertido y entretenido. Considero que es ideal para verlo junto a los más pequeños, ya que a diferencia de otros, es muy tranquilo, y para toda la familia. Yo lo vi hace algunos años junto a mi sobrina, y le gusto mucho. Se trata de Little Witch Academia, seguramente hablan oído hablar de el, o no. Tiene una premisa muy sencilla, pero aun así es cautivadora.. Seguimos la historia de Atsuko "Akko" Kagari, una joven chica que termina ingresando a una academia de brujas, llamada: “Luna Nova”.

    Ella ingresa a esta academia con la esperanza de seguir los pasos de su ídolo.. luego de ella llegar a este curioso sitio, comienza una aventura, donde se exploraran temas clásicos, pero muy apreciados.. como la amistad, la determinación para alcanzar nuestros objetivos, y el poder del arte. Esta serie está animada de una manera muy hermosa por el conocido estudio Trigger, creando unas escenas super deslumbrantes.. se nota el esfuerzo, cada escena se ve muy cuidadosamente elaborada y cuidada, con muchos detalles, y una paleta de colores muy vibrante que hace que este mundo mágico cobre vida, y te trasmite toda esa atmosfera de fantasía. Los diseños de personajes también me parecieron buenos, algunos muy tiernos y entrañables, cada uno con su personalidad bien definida que da pie a situaciones adecuadas y atractivas para hacer avanzar la historia.

    This anime may seem a bit childish, but its narrative is very good, it adds a good development to its varied characters. For example, the protagonist, is a heroine with a refreshing and friendly personality, without falling into the typical... I felt her quite genuine, she has a lot of passion and determination, this makes you easily get attached to her and encourage you to watch her adventures. As the series progresses, we see how she evolves from a somewhat clumsy student, to a really talented witch...

    This without losing at any time her characteristic essence, and her love-curiosity for magic. The friends and companions of adventures: Lotte and Sucy, are also good characters, they complement very well with Akko, each one has its own strengths and weaknesses, the dynamics they have and that mutual support are very important elements that enrich the story, reinforcing the message of the importance of friendship.

    DALE CLICK AQUÍ PARA VER LA VERSIÓN EN ESPAÑOLEste anime puede parecer algo infantil, pero su narrativa es muy buena, añade un buen desarrollo a sus variados personajes. Por ejemplo, la protagonista, es una heroína con una personalidad bastante refrescante y amistosa, sin caer en lo típico.. la sentí bastante genuina, tiene mucha pasión y determinación, esto hace que te encariñes fácilmente con ella y te animes a ver sus aventuras. A medida que va avanzando esta serie, vemos cómo va evolucionando de una estudiante algo torpe, a una bruja realmente talentosa..

    Esto sin perder en ningún momento su esencia característica, y su amor-curiosidad por la magia. Las amigas, y compañeras de aventuras: Lotte y Sucy, también son buenos personajes, se complementan muy bien con Akko, cada una tiene sus propias fortalezas y debilidades, la dinámica que tienen y ese apoyo mutuo son elementos muy importantes, que enriquecen mucho la historia, refuerzan el mensaje de la importancia de la amistad.

    As I mentioned, this series presents very well constructed and established characters, but the character that undergoes the most significant development is undoubtedly Diana, Akko's classic rival and of course, a girl from a self-styled “higher class” being heiress of a prestigious family of witches. As the plot progresses, we see how this character, who at first you may not like, evolves from a simple flat antagonist, to an ally. Thus demonstrating that growth and change are possible, for everyone, even for those who seem to have it all, and need nothing and no one.

    Among other highlights I have found in this series, I could talk about the message it gives to the power of art, and creation, something that can connect with many artists.. through magic, the series explores how creating something genuine and full of passion, can be such a beautiful thing, being able to inspire others so much, and who knows, even change the world. This message can resonate strongly with anyone who has ever pursued a dream that seemed impossible, or those artists who have worked so hard, shedding sweat and tears trying to make their mark on the world, trying to create something that means something, and has an impact. I believe that each person is a world, each person is different, it is very important that determination to invent something of value, with a lot of passion, that can change or touch someone's soul.

    DALE CLICK AQUÍ PARA VER LA VERSIÓN EN ESPAÑOLComo les comentaba, esta serie presenta personajes muy bien construidos y establecidos, pero el personaje que experimenta el desarrollo más significativo, es sin duda Diana, la clásica rival de Akko y claro, una chica de una autodenominada “clase más alta” siendo heredera de una prestigiosa familia de brujas. Conforme la trama avanza, vemos como este personaje, que al principio te puede caer mal, evoluciona de una simple antagonista plana, a una aliada. Demostrando así que el crecimiento y el cambio son posibles, para todos, incluso para aquellos que parecen tenerlo todo, y no necesitar nada ni a nadie.

    Entre otras cosas destacables que he encontrado en esta serie, podría hablar del mensaje que le da al poder del arte, y la creación, algo que puede conectar con muchos artistas.. a través de la magia, la serie explora como el crear algo genuino y lleno de pasión, puede ser algo tan hermoso, pudiendo estas creaciones inspirar mucho a otros, y quién sabe, hasta cambiar el mundo. Este mensaje puede resonar fuertemente en cualquier persona que alguna vez haya perseguido algún sueño que parecía imposible, o en aquellos artistas que se han esforzado tanto, derramando sudor y lágrimas por tratar de dejar su huella en el mundo, por tratar de lograr crear algo que signifique, y tenga un impacto.. Yo considero que cada persona es un mundo, cada persona es diferente, es muy importante esa determinación por inventar algo de valor, con mucha pasión, que pueda cambiar o tocar el alma de alguien.

    Although this series is not only limited to send nice messages and that's it. I feel that it addresses in a very good way more complex and deep issues, such as disability, the differences between social classes, the conflict between tradition and progress, the latter being something very significant that causes major differences today in certain regions of the world. These themes are explored in a subtle, but really meaningful way, they are not in your face, but in the story itself, you feel these teachings through the experiences of these characters, and the magical world that has its complications as well. This series inspires you a lot, with an incredible animation as dazzling... its simple narrative, but written with love, and its important messages, make it an experience, that yes or yes, I had to recommend.

    Although it is mainly aimed at a younger audience, it has its good layer of depth, and its ability to make you think, something interesting for the younger ones to learn these things that I mentioned before, although this is not limiting, I consider that if you like animation, you can watch it without any problem. I give it a rating of 8.5/10. It certainly exceeded my expectations, and it is good leaving a mark, it is one of those series that you remember, and not only forget after time. I must also say that I felt inspiration from other magical stories, like Harry Potter, and well, if you are a fan of this saga, you already know more or less the magical and fantasy atmosphere that this series is responsible for transmitting. If you have some time, you can watch them together with the little ones, you will surely have a nice time watching a work that really tries to transmit you something positive and good. I hope you liked this review, see you soon in a next review!

    DALE CLICK AQUÍ PARA VER LA VERSIÓN EN ESPAÑOLAunque esta serie no solo se limita a mandar mensajes bonitos y ya. Siento que abordo de una manera muy buena temas más complejos, y profundos.. como la discapacidad, las diferencias entre las clases sociales, el conflicto entre tradición y progreso, siendo esto último algo muy significativo que causa mayormente diferencias en la actualidad en ciertas regiones del mundo. Estos temas son explorados de una manera sutil, pero realmente significativa, no te lo ponen en la cara, sino que en la misma historia, se sienten estas enseñanzas a través de las experiencias de estos personajes, y el mundo mágico que tiene sus complicaciones también. Esta serie te inspira mucho, con una animación increíble como deslumbrante.. su narrativa simple, pero escrita con amor, y sus mensajes importantes, la convierten en toda una experiencia, que sí o sí, tenía que recomendar.

    A pesar de que esta principalmente dirigido a un público más joven, tiene su buena capa de profundidad, y su capacidad para hacerte reflexionar, algo interesante para que los más jóvenes lleguen a aprender estas cosas que antes les mencioné, aunque esto no es limitativo, considero que si te gusta la animación, puedes verla sin ningún problema. Le doy de calificación un ***8.5/10***. Sin duda supero mis expectativas, y es buena dejando una huella, es una de esas series que recuerdas, y no solo olvidas después del tiempo.. También debo decir que sentí inspiración de otras historias mágicas, como Harry Potter, y bueno, si eres fanático de esta saga, ya sabes más o menos la atmosfera mágica y de fantasía que esta serie se encarga de transmitir. Si tienen algún tiempo, pueden verla junto a los más pequeños, seguro pasarán un rato agradable viendo una obra que **realmente trata de transmitirte algo positivo y bueno**. Espero les haya gustado esta reseña, nos veremos próximamente en una próxima reseña!

  3. Netflixing: Little Witch Academia@talanhorne3108d

    It's a brand new year. And what better way to start it than with some anime.

    Ghoulish, occult-themed anime. With witches.

    Now, Netflix's selection of anime, at least in North America, is a little spotty. Some anime properties are spread across multiple series, and may involve several movies and TV specials as well. And Netflix, if it carries any of these parts, will usually not carry them all.

    This can cause some sticky situations, where you, for example, have most of the later InuYasha movies on Netflix, but only the first two seasons of the show. Or you can just get lost in all the options presented to you.

    As such, when you discover a new anime property on Netflix, and see different versions of it listed, there can be some confusion. And Little Witch Academia falls into this predicament.

    A Mess of Titles

    Little Witch Academia is the name of an anime TV series, but it is also the name of a one-off anime TV special.

    The original TV special was so popular that the subsequent crowdfunding campaign to finance the sequel easily met its goals. And so Little Witch Academia: The Enchanted Parade was greenlit.

    And the success of these two specials was conspicuous enough to eventually land a full TV series, with one strange twist: the TV series does not share a continuity with the specials. They are two separate universes, and some of the differences are large enough as to render the two timelines incompatible.

    The quality of the animation is much better in the specials, but the TV series has a more complete story. You should definitely watch both, but you'll be doing yourself a favor by watching the specials first.

    You should also be aware that the two seasons listed on Netflix are actually one season of the original show. Why they decided to split it up like that is anyone's guess.

    With that out of the way, lets dive into the story.

    A Magical Girl Anime...in the Most Literal Sense

    The easiest way for me to describe Little Witch Academia is to say it's the story of what would happen if Sailor Moon went to Hogwarts.

    And the more I think about it, the more that seems like the show's ideal elevator pitch. Needless to say that this is a series that revels in the traditional shounen anime themes of friendship, cooperation, and self improvement. It just happens to do that in the middle of a "magical school" story.

    It begins with Akko, as a young girl, attending a magic show put out by world-famous witch Shiny Chariot. And the little girl is so inspired that as soon as she is old enough, she relocates from Japan to England to attend the prestigious Luna Nova academy, which is where Chariot herself learned witchcraft.

    This is a world where there was a short period of time, following the European witch trials but before the industrial revolution, when society began to accept witches and use their magic for the benefit of the masses. The rise in technology, however, made a lot of spells redundant, and most of the world sees witches as archaic and useless.

    But Akko is determined to change all that, carrying on Shiny Chariot's legacy of ambassadorship to the nations of the world to convince them that magic is wonderful and useful. And she may be the only one who can do it, since Chariot herself vanished a number of years ago and has not been heard from since.

    However, soon after enrolling at the school, she learns a heartbreaking truth: the greater witch community detests Chariot, and thinks of her as a traitor who wasted her magic on creating silly entertainments.

    Couple that with the fact that Akko is not particularly adept at magic---she may, in fact, be the worst witch

    in the entire history of the school---and you have a recipe for disaster.

    Still, through the power of friendship and believing in her dreams, Akko may get her chance, and even save the world.

    The Characters

    On the face of it, Little Witch Academia's story is somewhat ordinary, and has been done in a lot of other places.

    Which is why it is such a good thing that the show boasts one of the best character ensembles in any anime. They never fail to captivate and have fiercely honed personalities.

    Let's examine a few of them.

    Akko

    The protagonist of Little Witch Academia is a hopeless dreamer who is terrible at everything yet constantly sets her hopes sky high. This sets her up to be crushed, time after time, but always in an entertaining way.

    A lot of anime protagonists are blank slates, useful only as an avatar of the viewer, but Akko drifts just the tiniest bit away from this trend, to establish herself more as the "lovable loser" archetype. It's great at winning the audience's sympathy and seasons her character just enough to keep it from being plain vanilla.

    Diana

    The most accomplished student at Luna Nova academy. Diana can do no wrong. She comes from a long line of witches and is privy to a number of spells known only to her family. Akko likes to believe she is her rival, but in reality the two of them are not even in the same league.

    Diana is the only one of the students smart enough to figure out the sinister plots going on in the background while Akko and the others are having episodic adventures. She tends to look down on Akko, but also has compassion for her predicament, since she secretly is also a fan of Shiny Chariot.

    Sucy

    The best part of the show. I'm not kidding.

    Sucy is Akko's roommate at Luna Nova. And she's deviates from a lot of depictions of modern witches.

    She is not a brave and bookish witch who fights evil. She is not a scatterbrained and angsty witch finding her way through a magical world. She is not a wise witch with life lessons for the people around her.

    No, she is an old school, Dark Age, plague upon mankind, "fire burn and cauldron bubble"-style of witch, who studies magic because she wants to use it to hurt people, because she loves hurting people. And she pursues her passion with with such dedication that it is hard not to root for her.

    She collects poison mushrooms, turns living things to stone, uses her roommate as a guinea pig for all her various toxic potions. She is a grade-A psychopath with supernatural moxie, and every moment when she's on screen is golden.

    My Judgment

    Little Witch Academia is better than it probably should have been.

    It is, in many ways, a typical "Magical Girl" anime, and the setting of the "Magical School" is likewise familiar. But it rockets past that on the strength of its cast. These characters are so well developed that everything they do becomes new and interesting. It sets itself apart from a lot of other anime, and a lot of other fantasy properties in general.

    It earns a solid endorsement from this Netflixer. Watch it, and be enchanted.
