freespace2dotcom Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 This one is about a bunch of girls going to a school to learn magic. Sound familiar? I like the art style but I think I'll wait for a few more episodes to come out before I try watching it to make a judgement to follow it or not. This trailer's in Japanese, but the visuals should be more than enough to give an idea of how it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascartand Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Okay this look interesting enough. I agree, the art style seems great. I will probably watch it as it releases this month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 No comment from the Legate on the end of the trailer yet? Shocking. I almost thought someone on the Team was responsible for that. hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 No! And I'll definitely be watching- Schwarzbart already let me know about the manga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 I thought it was the old anime movie I pointed you towards and later in return you pointed me to an early announcement of this TV series ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted January 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Well, although the setting is obviously different, the premise at a glance is nearly identical to Academagia. The Man-eating flower and giant Chicken seems lifted straight from the game. It seems that people around the world enjoy the same stuff. Also, that "No!" seemed mighty hasty!

vdalson Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 It's animated by Studio Trigger, a great studio that also worked on other popular shows such as Kiznaiver and Kill la Kill. If anyone is interested, you should definitely check out the two short films. They are both on Netflix for easy viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarod Cain Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 The OVA was kickstarted a couple years ago and was really good, now they're doing a full series. It should be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascartand Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 After watching the currently released episodes, I do get a vibe of Academagia but that could be a result of shared tropes. So far we got a Catherine Chard attitudes from some students who believe letting in folks from Non-Magic families was a result of the school needing grant money. Families that pride themselves for their long lines. Strict Teachers and a strict school setting. Basically imagine if the student body was a mix of Vernin and Avila combined in a all-girls school. Food looks way better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 I'd be surprised if most of those school-related tropes weren't already codified, to some extend, somewhere in the late 19th century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted January 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Food looks way better though. That's only because the Academagia puts it's students through magical trials at every opportunity! Don't like your food? Then learn how to change it. I still haven't seen it, but I intend to now, once a few more weeks go by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isadorbg Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Interesting. Might get a look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted February 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Finally saw it. I liked it a lot. I'll probably continue to watch it now. Although I will say that apparently Luna Nova has issues with the cafeteria food as well. It seems the heroine doesn't like the idea eating nothing but cheap potatoes all day! Bwa hahahaha!

Ascartand Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 Well it still looks better than what food is described as in Academagia. Also didn't they say that the uniform is not the dress one? So why all of a sudden, it seemed to be the dominant uniform? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted March 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 It's the more traditional one, of course! I'm enjoying this series. Especially funny is the scene where Akko (attempts to) translate an actual crow. And having a goldfish as a teacher is priceless. Especially the hat, it's so over the top, yet somehow still manages to take itself seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted June 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Damn! That plot twist! I've got goosebumps! Has everyone seen the recent episode? There was lots of foreshadowing! Holy cow! That's how you write a story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascartand Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 I finally caught up and I thought it was amazing that the antagonist have been shown way early in the beginning with no one being the wiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freespace2dotcom Posted June 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Oh, Legate, we just want to gush, haha! But seriously. Everything's coming together nicely. I'm looking forward to seeing the ending. But at the same time, I find myself wanting more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascartand Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 I know. Everything is coming together. I hope they go for another season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted June 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 It depends on how they end it. I like shows that end on a high note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted June 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 Well, it's over. The final episode seemed to be have a lot of exaggerated animation in the climax, but other than that I liked it. Unfortunately, the ending was so tearjerkingly happy that I don't think that there will be a sequel series. Not that I mind that. It's a masterpiece no doubt, but it reminds me of playing Y1. There's so much more material that they could cover! Well, here's hoping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ascartand Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 I know the ending tied up most things neatly but more mysteries emerge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 So apparently Bandai Namco has announced that they're going to be making a Little Witch Academia based game called Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time. The rub? It's going to be a beat-'em-up. But hey, maybe it'll be a more memorable beat-'em-up than most Harry Potter-based games are by and large forgettable action platformers. Given my knowledge of Bandai Namco, though...don't count on it. PS: You have no idea how hard it is for me to not call it Little Witch Academagia . Also, spoiler blocks are still broken. Hurray.

freespace2dotcom Posted July 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 I'm aware of the game. Personally I suspect it will have little to do with the source material other than the artwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
