NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Micitype Pretty Good

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Irishchatter 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!

pinkarray This is the first Trigger anime I watched. I heard of it before, but I was worried to watch it because it had a kid protagonist and usually, kid protagonists are bratty, overly silly, precocious and stereotypical. I thought that Akko was going to be one of the annoying characters but she actually wasn't that annoying, and she carried the story well.Though, the characters don't bring that much new to the table. Akko is an aloof fourteen-year-old girl who has an attitude, and too childish. Don't be like "Oh, it's for a younger audience. I don't care if it's clichéd!" I'd like something original and not just something we've seen a thousand times before.The art was alright, and so was the decent voice acting. The art doesn't deviate too much from other anime.Though, due to the anime being so short, it was a little confusing to watch, I think if it had more development instead of being rushed and showing a clichéd ending where all the girls were flying, it would've been more enjoyable.All in all, this is a cute story, though people over the age of 10 might find this too silly but isn't unwatchable. Not bad, it's nice to find an anime that showed a lot of tension and conflict. The beginning was awesome, though I think parents might be a little concerned about their small children watching this.Rating: 6.7

Jim Fess This review is for both this "movie" and its sequel~. Wow what an amazing ride, it does not feel even close to only 25minutes for this show. There's so much going on, your instantly attached and just begging for more, to explore this fun colorful world of magic. Trigger is amazing, its as simple as that. I'm in absolute love with the animation and artwork/art style in this show, I can't get enough of it. Every single detail of this show is great, every piece of background, every character, all of it is just so inviting. You just want to live in this world. The characters are so diverse, they're all great. For such a short show they all have so much personality & uniqueness you instantly fall in love with them all, they're all drawn so well you just want to eat them. The music & sounds are great nothing feels wrong or out of place. The English dub is amazing, every single voice matches its character perfectly I was very impressed. & The ending credit song of the sequel is so great, the voice of an angel. I could listen to it over and over again. Little Witch Academia is all about a fun ride, it just makes you want to smile while watching it & leaves you wanting to explore this world more. It would be really nice to see a series come out of this show in the near future.4/5 Why? Its just a great fun, enjoyable ride from start to finish. Characters draw you in instantly, the animation is top notch, on point English dub. There is absolutely no negatives about this show except for the fact that its so short (currently consisting of two short movies 1.5hrs total). If your looking for something that your gonna enjoy but not something you really want to commit to like an entire 12+ series then this is perfection, you'll smile, laugh, & wish for more!

Tweekums 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.
