Why Little Witch Academia is loved more than the other Witches anime ?

>>152237495
The director.
The hand painted backgrounds.
A bunch of other shit.

>>152237495

Literally anime harry potter

>>152237495
Everything is handmade.

Harry potter the anime without all the trappings of anime such as shittyly inserted fanservice, set in Japan, shitty generic backgrounds.

>>152237495
Not Flying Witch it isn't.

>>152237495
Because it's actually good.

>>152237495
Is this actually good or just a meme? Never seen it.

>>152237959
Good not a meme.

>>152237959
It's both.

>>152237959
The movies are solid good fun. Tough to say about the show, could be the best iteration.

>>152237959
I find the anime somewhat cheap at first glance (well except for the backgrounds), but upon closer inspection it's actually quite clever and neat. I'm not sure the plot and the overall story will be interesting. I thought in the OVAs that the premise itself was good, the characters also okay, but they could have done hundreds of more interesting things that what the plot involved. But I guess it'll be alright at least.

>>152238063

The OVA1 was overbudget. Thats why its the animation is so good.

>>152237495
Studio Trigger have created quite a reputation for themselves, so a lot of people will watch their shows simply because they know it'll have a certain quality standard that very few anime these days have. Kind of like with Kyoani.

>>152238137
Yeah, I didn't look it up but it was pretty obvious. Of course OVA can have more eye-candies, but if we want to be fair LWA TV looks pretty impressive overall as well. At least this far.

>>152237495
It's pretty good and Mahou Shoujo Tai Arusu was nine years ago.

>>152238137
Source?

>>152238137

OVA2 animation is hit & miss though.

Pretty understandable since its a kickstarter.

>>152238142
I'd think about that twice. They don't have that kind of reputation advantage over other studios (outside /a/ or the West in general) . Or did you mean it on board?

>>152238224
>OVA2 animation is hit & miss though.
Got any examples to back that up?

>>152238224
Not really, the animation was great.

>>152238299

Lots of missing frame animation especially on the parade scene.

From someone who hasn't seen it, it's got a very cute, warm feel to it and not an otaku son of a bitch feel.
Makes me think that actual little girls would love it.

>>152238338
>frame animation
What do you even mean by that?

>>152238142
I don't know how it is in Japan but in the West only a minority of anime fan think highly of Trigger. Some are quite critical and normalfags and casuals don't know any studio that isn't Madhouse, Bones or Gainax.

>>152238356
Kids can probably like it. It's cute, fun and has a lot of action.

>>152237495
I really want to watch this, should I watch the movies first or just jump in to the anime?

>>152238428

Most of the animation in LWA ova2 is feel choppy

>>152238447
What are you talking about? Trigger is one of the most well known, liked and popular studios there is in western anime fandom.

>>152238469

Watch all the movies.

they all combined 1 & half hour

>>152238338
>>152238483
So fewer inbetweens?

>>152238469
The OVA is what started all of this so do yourself a favour and watch it.

>>152238483
Post examples?

>>152237495
Execution > premise.

Surefire way to spot a crossboarder who doesn't watch anime:
Critique of LWA based in animation.

>>152237495

Because it's more a western cartoon than an anime, people can watch it without experiencing culture shock. LWA is more similar to My Little Pony than to any anime, give them a watch if you don't trust me.

>>152237495
Shit taste.

>>152238518
>>152238519
ok, I'll watch them
thanks

>>152238611
Is MLP the only kids show you know or something because I don't really see any similarities besides the target audience.

>>152237495
>>152237530
go watch Tweeny Witches peasants

>>152238960
It's good but it's not LWA good.

>>152238960
Thanks for the rec, any other good witch shows that aren't magical girls? I feel like they are pretty rare.

>>152239229
there's Witch Hunter Robin but it's not this style of witches, but it is cool.

>>152238500
Maybe we just have different samples, but I think that while KlK is famous, the name Trigger itself isn't that famous.
Btw, the casuals who make for most of the audience, don't look at the staff beforehand. They will watch LWA because it's on Netflix and because anime fans hype it, then look at the staff roll and think "Oh it's the same studio that did KlK".

The only studio that can really make a popular success on name alone is Ghibli.

>>152239229
Mahou Tsukai Tai. The OVA is really great, even better than Kiki imo.

>>152239428
If we are talking about actual anime fans people who watch anime week to week. Then Trigger is definitely one of the most well known studios.

>>152239289
I didn't really care for that show, but it had a good soundtrack.

little witch academia > strike witches
but why?

>>152238685
not him but I didn't care for modern western cartoons but the backlash against it had a sort of Streisand effect on me you know.

>>152238428
Why do you question a wonkily worded sentence only now when the OP's post is what it is...

>>152240076
Witch Craft Works I enjoyed a lot, Yamada isn't really "witchy" although I liked it also although I've only read the manga. The "witches" in yamada are just people who's kiss has certain powers.

>>152238447
>I don't know how it is in Japan but in the West only a minority of anime fan think highly of Trigger. Some are quite critical and normalfags and casuals don't know any studio that isn't Madhouse, Bones or Gainax.
That's hardly true, the sort of people who'll post on Kotaku calling something like Keijo "wretched" are exactly the sort of people who'll perform the mental gymnastics to conclude that KLK's fanservice is perfectly acceptable because the show is apparently a parody and mocking fanservice

>>152240076
The Witch Craft Works anime was weird and boring but it had cute kemonomimi witches.
I've only read the first 2 volumes of Yamada but there wasn't any witch in it, it was rom-com crap with body-swapping.

I believe it's got the right mix of modern vs traditional , and also masculine and feminine writing. Some of the other witch shows mentioned in the thread tend to be extremely old-fashioned, down to earth, and feminine. Which isn't bad or anything, it's just a very different type of appeal.

The school is full of bullying bitches, Diana's lackeys are just as dumb as Akko but somehow feel entitled just because they were born in a magical family

Try to pronounce an strange language, it's not easy, and she got it right after just two tries.
>didn't even know her place and brag like she's some hot shit
That's one part of her character that probably will be dealt with later, you wouldn't want her to be a perfect mary sue won't you?
>m..muh chariot wasnt a failure of a witch
She wasn't? Just because Diana got absorbed on her parents view on magic and let the tradition kill whatever joy and wonder she had practicing magic doesn't mean that Chariot was a failure.

Not so much. It was never discovered or explored in either of the OVAs.

Given we're now on a TV Show with much more room for development and an overarching plot, odds are that her identity will become relevant though.

Actually, that screengrab is Yusuke Yoshigaki's part of the first film, which I thought was the weakest. The drawings are really loose and the animation's kinda sloppy, compared to the rest where it's all tightly honed. It's ironic considering Yoshigaki was one of the supposed "tutors" in the project teaching the young animators

>>152251876
She saw and understood that the Shiny Rod started to work again while Akko held it, and ended up sorta telling Akko what to do with it.

It's the way when Diana asks "how did you know how to use it?" and Akko says "I heard Chariot's voice" that makes me think in the scene in episode 1 of the TV show when she's falling and Ursula tells her the words to say, I don't think any of them are meant to be aware she was there. Somehow it ended up reading less clearly this time around, I think maybe because originally there was a reverb effect on her voice that made it seem as though Akko was hearing it in her head... I'll have to rewatch it... again

>>152254037
You don't have to watch the OVA's first, but I would suggest you do

Combined they're not even the length of a feature-length movie

Plus, if you skip them, you'll miss out on some fucking glorious animation that you'll likely not see in the TV show

>>152255537
Two.

Well, there are two films. The terminology's a bit mixed around here which I think confuses people. I choose to say film, since it doesn't imply any length, a short film is still a film, whereas movie implies feature length, at least to me, and sometimes people'll say OVA to explicitly mean the second film but not the first... I think

There's Little Witch Academia, an episode of Anime Mirai at 24-ish minutes long

then the Kickstarted sequel, Little Witch Academia: The Enchanted Parade, at 50-ish minutes long

and now the TV show

I came to terms with that, many many years ago.
I've been hanging around this particular shithole for 11 years now.
I would say I'm beyond saving but I am married and just had my first child last year.

>And? It's just a minorly misleading title, I don't see how this is an actual issue unless you're /u/.
I got misled into thinking it was the story of a pair of sisters. Of course I was disappointed one of them was sidelined. I don't know what /u/ has anything to do with that.

according to some mathematician in Australia society is going to collapse by the end of the decade.

I guess it's time to stock up on bondage gear and guzzoline.

This happens anyway with 3D porn.

Is there an article for that? I'm always interested in doomsayers.

>Why Little Witch Academia is loved more than the other Witches anime ?

Because we made it happen.. or at least a large portion of /a/ did donate to the kickstart...

>>152241079
Being ashamed of anime/cartoons is for fools who feel the need to fit in with a crowd in order to validate his own existence.

And that's a really shitty way to live.

>>152255779
Make sure to show them LWA when they're old enough to understand it

It'll validate all the years you've spent here

I just don't see why "two girls will be the main characters" vs. "a girl and a guy are the main characters" would cause such a gap in your enjoyment unless you preferred /u/ dynamics to hetero ones.

Imaishi will direct one episode right?

Cant wait to see how it would turn out

It's not about romance, anon. I just wanted Nene to get at least half the attention Yoyo got, but she literally didn't do anything. They hinted she's kinda dependent on her sister but didn't do anything with the idea. She got no focus, no action and no character development whatsoever.

>>152262996
I still don't see the big deal. Her name was in the title, but she was not a main character. It's that simple.

>>152263882
Before the movie came out I took a look at the manga and Nene was the character I was more interested in, so when they announced the movie I was really looking forward to it. But she got sidelined and pretty much replaced by an OC. It was pretty disappointed.
