This episode was so well done it felt like it was longer than it actually was.

Really did take a while. Also the new intro and credits suuuuuuuuuuuuuck, I miss the old ones already.

There's some great setup here, but I'm worried that I'm just gonna be frustrated with Ursula shrinking beneath Croix and Croix herself obviously being shady and nobody seeing it. But that's the nature of being sucked into a narrative I guess.

And you're goddamn right I want Constanze interacting with Croix. Though it'd be kinda hilarious if she remains unimpressed.

Croix is awesome. Also, she's right. They better handle her being a "villain" well.

Episode 14

I think this is the first time we've seen Diana outright fail at something. The past 13 episodes of "sasuga Diana" have primed us to expect her argument to convince the fairies easily, and so it was very satisfying for Akko to rally them against her.

I liked this part in the episode:

Eps 14 was one of the best episodes of anime I've watched in a long time. It should win the anime version of the emmys.

 

[spiritfox]

Plot, and PLOT.

i need more chariot now

Daaaam Chariot looking fine.

Episode 15

Oh, a cameo from Din, Nayru, and Farore.

[Roubjon]

This is definitely my favorite anime in the longest time. It's so charming and gives off great vibes. Episode 15 ruled.

 

[Niks]

Why inst this thread more active? :/

Ep. 15 was so good.
I wonder where Diana is going to fit in all of this.

Because it isn't out for us legally yet

 

[Twilight Gap]

ugh ep 16 was awful, and it looked like it was storyboarded by Shaft.

 

[spiritfox]

That was a disjointed mess.

 

[Szadek]

Yeah, not a great episode, I guess they didn't try as hard after sexy badass Ursula last week.
At least she got another word. Hopefully the plot comes back soon.

 

[Roubjon]

I thought it was alright; I thought some visual gags were funny. Definitely disjointed though.

 

[Mendrox]

I liked the episode. It was nothing special, but it had the Disney charm.

 

[WhateverItTakes]

Yeah, charming is the word. Plus I like seeing them do stuff out of school.

 

[Roubjon]

Awesome episode. It was nice to see Amanda do cool shit.

 

[spiritfox]

That duel reminded me a little of Dark Souls.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

LWA TV 17

Croix is too good for this show tbh

yeah my dude I like Utena and girls in suits too

Akko is so stupid it actively hurts the show

 

[Twilight Gap]

Honestly don't even know how I feel about episode 17. The duel was cool, animation dipped a bit here and there but it was nice to see Akko and Amanda paired up. The rat Akko was cute I guess, but when she saw Croix's cubes and went "well whatever" I was just like "okay, Trigger has no idea how to tell a story."

Meh. Still glad this show is a thing as it's still more charming than 99% of anime, but it's bringing the overall quality of LWA down.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

Thundercats reference uhh? I wonder how many anime reference the show has, that I can't simply catch, seeing that it has plenty of western ones

 

[Maximo]

Amanda is always a treat on scene with her personality and acrobatics the duel was awesome. story was weak and the extreme turn of *Lets torture kill these witches and then break The Holy Grail* seems...extreme as fuck. Witches seems to be the norm of the world or at least mostly accept why such a extreme reaction to the point of bringing back the Dark Ages of treatment.

 

[Maximo]

Cute episode always nice to get a focused episode on one of the side characters.

 

[mugwhump]

That was great, lucky Constanze got the best episode since 13. Some real quality animation in the latter half as well.

 

[spiritfox]

I err didn't realize I was watching TTGL.

 

[WhateverItTakes]

Oh man this episode was fantastic! Visual gags at the start were great, Akko using her ridiculousness for good, getting to see more of a side character... Loved the pause after the transformation as well.

Gotta say I don't know why Ursula is just letting Croix do whatever she wants. Surely she should slap her upside the head.

 

[Mendrox]

Haha they really did it from that concept art. Awesome episode

 

[TimmiT]

Trigger can't make a single anime without putting at least one gigantic Gainax reference in there, can they? Not that I'm complaining, that was great.

 

[Andrew J.]

Episode 18

The best mecha anime that will air all year, no doubt about it.

 

[Roubjon]

10/10 episode. This show is something else.

 

[A-V-B]

METAMORPHIE FACIESSE BREAAAAKEEEER!

 

[WhateverItTakes]

Episode was a little slow, but has some interesting setup. And Akko getting consistently wrecked is always hilarious to me.

 

[Roubjon]

I'd say that was the worst episode of the entire run. Nothing happened and the animation quality dropped hard.

I did think the 5 second hitch hiking gag was funny though!

Goddamn could they have made Diana's Aunt being evil any more obvious? She shows up and a snake crawls up her dress and when she leaves she turns into a shade with red eyes? Couldn't have thrown in a shot of the Last Supper before her betrayal to really sell it? Or have her talk about how Judas was actually the good guy?

I'm not sure how this would classify as an episode where nothing happened when we have episodes like the one with the finance dragon or the skeleton running around town. With this ep we find out more about Diana as well as some other things that could potentially play a role in the plot.

I don't think there was any reason to hold back on her being greedy and evil. She's the evil aunt archetype in a show full of character archetypes and blatantly obvious good/bad intentions.

Episode 19

Almost too much excitement for my poor Dianakko shipping heart!

I really enjoy fish out of water stories, and it was a delight seeing Akko bulldoze her way through high society formalities with her usual array of funny faces and goofy noises.

The hitchhiking was a pure platinum comedic bit, too.

Deep foreshadowing:

 

[Twilight Gap]

show shoulda been ab Diana teebeeaytch

 

[Twilight Gap]

diana x akko ship is officially sailing

great ep

 

[McArkus]

Hi everyone, I have being watching this anime for a while, it just feels good, and this last episode warms my heart.

 

[poipoipoi9]

Wasn't it Full Moon the last episode? Were Diana and Akko out of school for so long?

5 more episodes till the end and I'm increasingly worried the show will rush itself to its conclusion. Pacing has always been an issue with the series but now with 2 more Words unattained and Croix's importance to the plot yet unexplained, I'm doubtful the series can reach a satisfying conclusion.

This show needed more episodes, this episode felt like it should've happened 5 weeks ago to allow for more development for Croix's and Chariot's relationship.

 

[spiritfox]

I ship it.

 

[Aki-at]

Little Witch Academia - 20

Decided to pick this show up again and blasted my way through, enjoyed some of the episodes when they focused on zany adventures but this is one of those that tried to focus on characters and didn't quite work because I don't even know what's going to happen to Diana's household, everything is just left unresolved. And watching these last couple of episodes almost makes me think the series might have been stronger if Diana and Akko had some sort of relationship in the past.

Animation was enjoyable though, really the series strongest asset. Oh yeah new ending is fantastic too, really loving it.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

So when's this coming out on the platform which paid for it to get made in the first place?

June 30 for Netflix US

 

[Twilight Gap]

Well this episode was interesting.

Guess Hanna and Barbara are gonna treat Akko nicer now? Or will Trigger succumb to japan's infamous amnesiac character development trope?

 

[TimmiT]

I guess it should at least be mentioned in here: Little Witch Academia PS4 game by Bandai Namco was announced.

 

[WhateverItTakes]

Late, but this week's episode had some real drama, well, by this show's standard, which I enjoyed. I can't stand how Lotte and Sucy keep turning up for like 2 seconds then disappear though.
