What are your expectations for LWA, /a/?
>>149152268
MOTHERFUCKING WHIMSY
Subpar animation
The-OVA-was-better threads
Akko being a mostly unlikable bitchA decent, enjoyable show
>>149152461
I'm kinda hoping Yoshinari has learned from the second OVA, he's admitted she's a difficult character to write, and I think as a result she became a difficult character to like.
>>149152592
She was great in the first OVA, but in the second she basically told her friends FUCK YOU AND YOUR STUPID IDEAS WE'RE DOING IT MY WAY YOU FUCKING LOSERS.
my entire opinion of the series will be based upon the suce-meister
>>149152268
>massive backgrounds downgrade
>animation quality won't resist more than a few episodes
>OVAs not canon to the new series
>the writer of the second OVA is in charge of the series
Nothing, really.
>>149152461
>>149152657
These.
>>149152268
I want it to be good
I really do
I really really really do
but my gut feeling says it won't.
Not high. It'll probably be p boring after the first 2 episodes.
>>149152461
>The-OVA-was-better threads
All I care is that it manages to be better than OVA2, that was so bad. OVA1 was a fun little thing in its own right, but as anything more than that it's just a cheap chinese harry potter knockoff.
Better development for Akko that doesn't go the route of The Enchanted Parade and more characterization for the rest of the cast, especially for the trio from the second movie. Expecting fun, lots of fun.
>>149152461
We've already gotten a peek at what the animation is going to be like. The question is whether or not they will be consistent all the way through.

I want a catchy op, ed or insert song, I want Akko to become a badass like Luluco and Ryuuko did while still retaining cute demeanor and above all else, lots of Diana and Amada and settling the story about Shiny Chariot's background.
I'm expecting extreme lewd a la Kill la Kill.
I don't have high expectations. I am going to watch it because I watch most mahou shoujo, but I don't think I will particularly like it.
I hope Handa keeps a tighter grip on the drawings than was shown in the teaser
>>149152268
Fun and cute. If it's anything more I will be pleasantly surprised.
>>149153440
>extreme lewd
Their skirts literally have a void underneath to prevent pantyshots most of the time.
>>149153819
im sure someone will released a "fixed"version like that one guy what added vagoo to strike witches.
>>149152268
no delays would be a bonus in my book.
I'm just hoping for no scenes where the animation gets bad.
Straightforward, unimpressive, even mostlly static, that's fine by me, as long as it doesn't look terrible. I hope they can hack it.
>>149152268
I hope it'll be fun.
Another Lulucco cameo
>>149154443
never watched that.
>>149154443
That makes me wonder, the blue haired girl looks like somebody who would be in Little Witches's world but, aren't the girls of Little Witch like ages 10 through 14?
Would be nice to see more explict Englishness in the setting.
Since the whole thing was set within the academy, the first OVA only really had a map to show it, revealing that the academy is basically where stonehenge is.
The second OVA had quite a bit more with the market, some of the cars, an old-fashioned phone-box and even a Punch and Judy show came to life, which is perhaps the most esoteric thing, and there was Akko's UK flag which came out of nowhere, and Shaun and Ed from Shaun of the Dead were hidden amongst the background characters, although I'm not sure that should count. The architecture of the town looked like he picked out a few buildings from Salisbury and just ran with it. There's a mix of buildings there but in the OVA even the Tudor designs were rendered to look like stone.
So far in the PV we've seen a railway station that looks like it's based on Salisbury station (closest to Stonehenge), and a sign for a London Underground station that is laughably far west of London. It probably says "Ley Line".
>>149155383
Here's Salisbury station.
>>149155383
What are you expecting from them to show more "Englishness"? Marmite?
>>149155443
The bank on the right looks like a lot of the buildings in the OVA's town.
The Tudor building on the left also shows up.
>>149155533
It's in the background here.
>>149155450
Ew God no, Marmite tastes like vomit.
I don't know, just for it to feel more solid. I feel like, at least from the first OVA, if people hadn't noticed that map, they could assume the academy was anywhere.
>>149155450
>What are you expecting from them to show more "Englishness"?
drinking cups of tea and eating bangers and mash.
I'm surprised we didn't see this thing in the town, at least as far as I remember. It looks right up Yoshinari's alley.
>>149152268
Why is Sucy a penis
>>149154615
do it, watch it
>>149156784
when I first heard about I flipped a coin on whether ill watch it or not.
>>149156855
it's an hour long
>>149156895
I've made all my life decisions with coin flips and I stand by them.
>>149152268
Lotte looks especially hot as Little Red Riding Hood.
>>149156980
Okay, two face. just watch Luluco
It'd be interesting to see if they'll ever have the witches be animated without Yoshinari pulling on the reins so tightly, what would it be like if Imaishi animated a scene?
Sushio did some animation on the 2nd OVA but Yoshinari picked it apart.
>>149152268
>Shit animation but still a fun show
>Threads will be garbage
Not going to be fun to watch since the Netflix Method™ takes all the fun out of watching shows over a period of time.
>>149157739
>Netflix Method™
so its not going to be a weekly thing?
>>149157739
Are we sure it's all going to be released on Netflix before the japanese broadcast?
>>149157739
>weekly
>fun
>>149157994
discussing anime is the only socializing i do anymore,
Will she ever speak?
>>149152268
>Not a single Japanese response to this image
worrying
>>149157739
That sucks. ReLIFE discussion was terrible and completely ended once other shows started airing.
boyfriends
>>149159529
or at least an explanation why males have gone extinct
>>149159529
I just want porn of Diana getting gangraped by shotas.
>>149159204
I hope not
>>149152268
>>149152592
>Two times in a row dressing up as a red riding hood
>one of them its a mix of it with a wolf theme
Lotte its a wrewolf confirmed?
>>149159602
you what
It's a witch school. There were males in the town.
>>149159402
If japs didn't get interested in LWA after 2 OVAs the series won't change shit.
I hope for Trigger they already made bank thanks to Netflix.
>>149160061
it doesn't have a self insert otaku MC who becomes a magical overlord with a harem, of course its not going to do good in japan,
the target audience is going to be overseas.
>>149152268
Lotte being best girl
Shitty animation for 99% of the series but still praised for weeks on end for the four seconds where it exhibits competent animation because Trigger cocksuckers want to believe that Trigger is anything more than a meme studio that is carried exclusively by government/crowdsourced funding.
Canon.
>>149163055
>a meme studio that is carried exclusively by government/crowdsourced funding.
What the fuck are you talking about
LWA1 is the only thing they've done funded by government, and LWA2 is the only thing they've done that's crowdfunded
and yet there's also:
>Kill la Kill
>Inferno Cop
>Inou Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de
>Ninja Slayer
>Kiznaiver
>Space Patrol Luluco
>collaborations for Black Dynamite, Toy Story, that Hacka Doll thing...
>>149152822
This
If she doesn't end up being the focus of every episode I will scream
>>149163368
Yeah and most of those animate like dogshit, thereby solidifying its position as Gainax 2.0 except that they don't even bother waiting until they teeter on the edge of bankruptcy before slashing budgets. How punchdrunk do you have to be to list Ninja Slayer, Inferno Cop, Luluco, and Kill La Kill when I'm railing on a studio for having bad/cheap animation unless there's someone else helping to foot the bill?
>>149163368
Don't remind about the Toy Story collab. I don't want to remember what a missed opportunity that was.
>>149163055
wew lad, nice to know that a Japanese animation studio apparently shit in your cereal.
>>149152268
Doujins.
Which tags /a/?
the other 3 mains are better. Hopefully they get at least some screen time
>>149166170
>Jasminka
>better
She was literally a waste of space. She added nothing but a dumb gluttony gag, while Amanda and Constanze actually added some value. I'm hoping the TV show will justify Jasminka's existence.
>>149166365
glutton, thief, and tech wizards sound more interesting than poison, nerd wizards and akko
>>149166820
>thief
sure
>tech wizard
sure
>glutton
how... how can you think that
even if you somehow think she "sounds more interesting", she certainly wasn't in practice. You're deluding yourself.
Yuri Undertones but no actual yuri
>>149167528
That's called yuribait.
>>149158225
Well whose fault is that?
>>149167528
wouldn't that atill be yuri?
>>149167320
>she certainly wasn't in practice
She was cute and that's all I wanted about her. As long as she's there to provide comedic relief and be a cute chub I'm more than happy to have Jasminka
but that's just me
