>>153142716
She's just well raised and educated.

She's handicapped, don't bully

>>153143627
This series is about bullying Akko.

Is Diana gay for that orange haired old hag ?

Agreed.
I've dropped this anime episode 5.
Not enough lore, not enough slice of life and friendship/emotion, just far too many boring action sequences.

I got a good dose of Constance this week. I consider myself satisfied.

She can already cast a light spell and ignite cannons with her wand so she's not a full muggle. In fact, I doubt "muggles" in the Harry Potter sense exist since if a normal girl like Akko can cast magic, anyone can do it if they went to a school like Luna Nova.

Not this show's fault you just meme her and ignore the things she has done.

Is Akko going to be a witch who is strong in her own right, or is it just going to be hacks with the Shiny Rod?

Or is she better off dropping out and becoming some strong wizards sex toy?

Since when is it mandatory for antagonists to be flawed? Main characters are the ones who have to develop.

I'll keep watching because I enjoy watching those little witches, but if they don't get their plot going it's only going to be a 5/10.

>>153137475
The start is slowly, but she's set to overtake Diana and become the supreme sorceress. Let this be known. Frankly, the first three episodes are those that have shown that she has the potential, heart and an absurd tenacity.
Anyway, it would not surprise me if the fault for her difficulty was because of the scepter, that has altered somehow her magic power.

No, it's not the first time I've watched a bad show.

It's 5 episodes in. For most anime, this is over 1/3rd of the course already. I get it that they can take it slightly slower given that they have 24 episodes to work with but still... They better get it going soon.

>>153145536
They probably never bothered to teach people because barely anyone even uses it.

The latest episode was crap. I am disappointed.

>>153145656
expect a couple more "character episodes" (see ep4) and "setting episodes" (see ep 5) and then it can start.
plot begins at ep 10, mark my words

>>153145604
I know that it's a joke, but I do not think there will EVER be a season with adult Akko and Diana. LITTLE witch academia, will always be about cute witches doing nice things, with occasionally a plot.

>>153145778
well duh
But I wouldn't be surprised if the whole "traditionnal magic" with Diana and "pop magic" with Akko ended up being the actual point of tension for the show.

>>153145180
>Main characters are the ones who have to develop.
BAD post you make me mad with this post anon

antagonists should be equally or more developed as it takes more effort to understand the perspective of an antagonist cause that's key to giving a shit about what's going on

if they are just "Faceless person who does the things they do for no other reason than to get in protagonist's way" you aren't subject to much complex thought or cognitive dissonance and it is uninteresting

of course in this case diana isn't really a bad guy so her motivations don't need to be thoroughly developed as they would for a character like that but she should be developed and your post is bad

When will Akko stop being so useless? All I've seen is empty promises and big talk.

I like the fact that she's a shitty, loud mouthed, cocky brat without any talent except BELIEVE IN MYSELF REALLY HARD AND NEVER GIVE UP TRYING DUMB SHIT.

She's cute, full of energy, honest and fearless.

Akko doing stuff nobody else figures out or dares do is one of the things I like about the show. When everyone else is just standing there in confusion she dashes into action and at least she tries to pull off something.
It might not be smart but it will be cool at least.
She was even ready to swing and jump on a dragon, she openly called him out for being a stingy piece of shit, she gives no fucks.
Akko doesn't even need magic to do stuff because she's so quick on her feet and athletic.
Akko + real magic would be too dangerous, she never hesitates action, at least not yet, let her be a badass normal for a while longer.

About what? She has not done anything wrong from a magical point of view, she even saved the fairies. Her punishments are for other things like stupid pranks or lack of good manner, like when she stole the food.

>>153146843
Yeah, she doesn't get away with shit.
The teachers have punished for her bullshit every time in a relatively proportionate fashion.

It only seems like she "got away" with it because she doesn't care, she whines and gets pissed about the punishment but she really acts like she doesn't give a fuck because she never learns from it, she keeps acting the same way.

The disciplinary actions have not worked on her one bit. It's like she can do pretty much anything, as many times as she pleases, as long as she "pays off" with a little itty bitty punishment that only makes her attitude even more rebellious.

Oh, and she drags others along to suffer her punishments too.

Bad students who do shit usually keep doing it. Just like in real life.

>>153147481
She has been punished twice in four too and always for the same reason... She did not complete the first punishment. However it is not that she have used that time to write on 4chan, the first time was to help Lotte, the second, to try to help the school.

>>153147544
That just means the punishments are repeatedly affordable, a failure in discipline.
Hence, SHE CAN KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT.

>>153147664
Who gives a shit, she will save the world or something later anyway.

Something will happen, Akko will deus ex solve it.

I mean, the fact that she already saved an entire species of rare magical butterflies already means she's done a lot of good stuff because of her attitude.

So it's not a problem. The witches just need to accept that their chosen destined savior is a rebellious shitty unskilled dummy.

I'm really curious to know what you faggots saw in LWA in the first place, it has a nice premise but that is. The first OVA just seemed like an average kids show with good animation, nothing special really. Certainly not even close to be on par with old Gainax stuff.

>>153142716
Being a part of high society gives you super powers in anime. That's just the way they work in Japan, it's dumb I know.

People hoped that (or at least I did) Trigger would make an actual storyline beyond the promising premise if they had dozens of episodes at their disposal.
So far that time has gone to waste.

They don't need to keep this as episodic "children's show", that's not what funded this, that's not what the Kickstarters were funded for. They were funded because the setting had potential, because people dreamed this could be a real show one day, with a real story.

What we have here could be just another OVA episode, there is basically no difference.

It's a shitty school with shitty teachers, all she's done is disrespect and some victimless rule breaking.
They've followed the norms and punished her properly, that's it.

You want them to seriously try to curb her behavior with force or something?
She's just a fun girl that wants to learn magic and does her best even though sometimes her actions are stupid.

>>153148020
I was hoping Diana would turn out to be flawed and just hyped up by everyone else as the best much to her annoyance. I guess they just went full on Miss Perfect.

>>153148417
This. I think they probably misunderstood what people wanted and thought they should just make every episode in the same style of the OVA. But what they missed is that what fans really liked wasn't the storyline, narrative or characters in LWA, it was the setting and the potential it had.

>>153148716
I disagree. What I liked about LWA is the happy feeling I had while watching these characters in that setting. Made me feel like a kid again.

The TV show is giving me the exact same vibe and I like it a lot. I don't understand what you fags are complaining about, we're only on episode 5, they have more time to flesh out these characters and play with the setting (spells, potions, magic shows, races, the magic world, Ursula's story, Diana's backstory, Akko growing up, etc. There are so many things we're gonna see now, things that were never covered in the OVAs)

Just enjoy the ride.

>>153148955
>they have more time to flesh out these characters
The problem is that they haven't really done that much at all.

The fleshing-out that has been displayed so far could be effectively conveyed in just one episode or two.
They've already spent whopping 115 minutes just fooling around, more than enough time for an entire movie, how about some progress?

>>153148417
>They don't need to keep this as episodic "children's show", that's not what funded this, that's not what the Kickstarters were funded for

Firstly, it was just one kickstarter. Secondly, you can't speak for the whole people who funded.

Remember this was just a one-shot thing for a government funded project, yes, we liked it, but think about WHY we liked it.

>>153149193
>but think about WHY we liked it.
I thought about it and I explained it to you in my post that you replied to.

>>153148955
I liked the magic,along the magitech and well implemented mix of modern anime ideas of executing magic in a practical sense along with some potential lore.

Also the sense of wonder it brought, along with the relatable aspect of school life and those simple childhood days.
In that sense Akko perfectly captures the spirit of those days, she doesn't care or worry about her actions, her reputation or her future, she just wants to have fun and she always acts according to her whims and passions without regard for how safe, smart or convenient they may be in the long term.
She can make friends and rivals and enemies easily, she doesn't care, she'll call a dragon a stingy piece of shit and she doesn't care.
Such is the spirit of youth.

What if Akko were skilled and competent just like Diana, but because of her passion/YAY/curiosity/desire to have fun, had an unorthodox method to use magic that still put her in trouble/punishments/trouble? I do not know who said this here, but the idea of a witch who thinks outside the box, even dangerously, with an equal rival that think in a diametrically opposite approach, was not bad. Neither of them are right or wrong, of course.

Those don't make it any better. 5x23 minutes is still a fucking long time. In the olden shit days it was """okay""" because watching on TV kids would often miss a lot of episodes of a 300+ episode show and there were a lot of fillers.

Nowadays: Try to make every episode fucking count, or it will do more bad than good.

>she has an asspull for every occasion (lifefiber blade toenail, tricking evil Ryuuko into traps, somehow being able to stand toe to toe with berserk Ryuuko, etc)
>seemingly immune to all emotional jabs from Nui, Ragyo, never once shows any possible crack in her emotions
>spouts the "muh resolve" shit endlessly and never once loses her way
>never gets properly beaten to the point that she says "I lost"

All I wanted was to see her lose a fight, lose her way, get depressed (or go berserk), and need Ryuuko or the elite four to peptalk her back into being motivated. Instead she's a frigid cunt the entire way through.

>>153151498
Interesting. Your point?

>>153151445

And what exactly was Satsuki's character then?

>>153151542
The producer of the show is lamenting the fact that they couldn't risk putting it in a primetime TV slot because it didn't have any games or toys to shill to kids. It isn't "late night otaku stuff" it is made for all audience stuff that happens to have gotten stuck in a late night slot due to the way the TV anime market works in Japan. Every interview with the director and anyone else involved with the show has said they are intentionally making a family orientated show.

>>153151498
>And what you can do is look to the children for. I still do many it seems.

>show airs 2:00 am
>wonder why nobody watches it

>>153151615
>said they are intentionally making a family orientated show.
Yet it's not. It's stupid to pretend it is. It was funded by mostly otaku-type people, WESTERN otaku on top of that.

The main audience for this show is going to watch this either by torrenting or streaming from various websites. Not from TV.
They are adults, not children.

Pretending otherwise would be as stupid as Akko's daydreams.

>>153151615
>it is made for all audience
Okay, but my point stands. It's not a kiddy gag-based show like Doraemon. So I think it's fair to expect some actual development. The fact that it's two cour shouldn't make any difference.

>>153150522
Wait how do I talk with Trigger?

>>153151615

>It isn't "late night otaku stuff" it is made for all audience

What kid would watch this? Is Trigger completely out of touch with the fact that otaku are their main audience? There's a bunch of anime like Yokai Watch or PreCure that kids will watch, but LWA certainly isn't in that group.

>>153151615
That explains why they let Netflix buy their way onto the production committee then.

>>153151805
They want to believe that you can still give quality entertainment to children without toys.
You may call them out of touch.

>>153151753
>It was funded by mostly otaku-type people, WESTERN otaku on top of that.
Where are you getting this from? The main company funding it are TOHO. Then you have Good Smile Company and Ultra Super Pictures. The producer says in one of those tweets they are considering re-airing it during daytime infact.

>>153151758
And there will be some development I assume it just won't happen as fast as people are used to these days.

>>153151805
Most Japanese posters on 2ch consistently wonder why the show isn't airing in a daytime or evening slot and say that it is a show they would love to show to children.

>>153151817
Netflix are not on the production committee.

>>153151503
>never gets properly beaten to the point that she says "I lost"

She collapses and starts tearing up after that radio tower fight, its just only Iori saw how much she was getting banged up.

>>153151866

Unless it's fucking Pokemon or Yokai Watch or some merchandise seller (AKA a show that isn't about watching it, but rather acting as a glorified toy ad), kids aren't going to care.

>>153151899

Where I'm from, if I showed a kid LWA, everyone would think I'm a weirdo.

>>153151947
>kids aren't going to care.
Exactly.
You need either a lot of advertising and marketing firepower to hope that kids will pay attention to your stuff now, OR a lot of luck (and no problem with having a small audience)

>>153151947
It is just a family friendly cartoon. If it was dubbed in your language and put on TV nobody would think it was weird for kids to watch it.

>>153151899
>And there will be some development I assume it just won't happen as fast as people are used to these days.
It's not just these days. Good series provide development all the time, even in long shows Having to stall with filler just proves their writers suck.

Who did you think funded the OVA kickstarter? Was it due to unexpected popularity among children? Or was it more like a bunch of adults who appreciate this kind of setting and the quality animation from Trigger?
My bet would be on the latter.

>>153152021
The OVA was funded by Good Smile Company.

>>153152057
And otaku fund Good Smile Company with their figurebux.

>>153152015
>It's not just these days
No it really is. People are just impatient or not very used to anime. It is very common for shows to follow this episode week to week format with a longer dramatic arc either occurring at the end of cours only.

>>153152120
It's the opposite. It's because they are used to anime and the series formats have changed over the years, is why they have higher expectations.

You can do that and still provide actual character development along the way. You don't have to hit a climax to develop the characters, you know? LWA is just a mess.

>>153152192
Nobody who has watched more than a few hundred shows will be surprised by episodic formats, especially in family friendly and children's anime. It happens all the time in longer running shows still today. PreCure for example monster of the week until episode 23 or whatever.

>>153152118
I'm not sure what you are trying to get at now?

>>153152247
The problem is not that the episodic format. You can do character development in that format all the same.

>>153152312

I'd think if anything its the opposite. A lot of normalfags will get bored of repetitive kids show type fare after not long. Otaku will happilly watch shows like precure, aikatsu and pripara.

Didn't like this episode because they dragged Amanda to Akko's newest low. In OVA 2 Amanda was clearly head and heels above her despite being a (skilled) thief delinquent, but here she just lowers herself to a mindless squabble with Akko, the argumentation level being literally and unironically "NO, YOU!!"

I expected her to be more mature than that, I still do. Maybe the writing for this episode simply sucked.

Who doesn't?

Akko has no social awareness and only cares about her own immediate whims, and spent years collecting some cards and memorizing shiny chariot facts.

Diana has no social skills either, acts like a robot, learned some ancient dragon languages as a kid, seems like she's a savant for magic in general and can't deal with people without looking like a cold asshole.


Constanze, come on, she can't talk, spends all her time with machines. 100% autistic.

Jasminka is a similar call, likewise has issues talking or following social norms, always has an obsession with eating something.

Lotte just seems like an introvert at first but her obsessive knowledge of Nightfall is too much to be normal as well, she probably writes for the Nightfall Wikia too, definitely some autism.

Succy just seems like a sociopath who doesn't care about hurting others and just goes along with whatever is happening around her, always seems to be unhappy, might be some issues too.

Amanda has a tendency to show off and a willingness to cheat, tries too hard, probably self esteem issues. Maybe daddy related?

Ursula has clear self esteem issues and might suffer of some anxiety and depression.

What kind of curse will Mrs. Manbavaran give Akko?

Are you okay, anon? Do you have brain damage?

>>153154867
Same way all the other witches were taught, through their family.

I want Diana to sit on my face

>>153154813
He likes Misato. The producer likes Rei.

>>153154858
You can't learn a language so complex not even your teachers can't learn just by working hard. Plus Diana learned that shit at 12. Clearly she's a prodigy with natural talent.

such a sad story

the day /a/ went too far

>>153154947
oh, my bad then

tattun has generally good taste in waifus

>>153154887
Yes, I don't have ADHD

>>153154955
It was never said that the teachers can't learn it. Go hang yourself retard.

>>153154858
Theres a difference between coming in as a character with an established set of powers, and "earning" them through exposition over the course of the story. Think before you speak retard

>>153154955
Or maybe everyone else is just shit. I mean the teachers were getting jewed by a contract they couldn't read, you can't get more incompetent than that.

Still has nothing to do with the fact that Diana put in effort to be the best though.

>>153154956
That's just something she learned about Lotte. It's not character development.

>>153154538
this dialogue was written by the same person who wrote this week's episode, it's so bad and way off

>school in massive financial troubles
>still don't accept any non-witches except Akko

>>153154930
Yes I think so since I can actually form a coherent argument as opposed to name calling

>>153154999
>Yes, I don't have ADHD
That sure proves your point.

Too bad Akko seems to be getting more and more obnoxious and retarded by the episode. Will this shit even have a serious plot with chracter growth or are we just going to keep having slice of autism episodes with constant asspulss in the end?

>>153155006
She earned them during her lifetime not shown on screen you stupid faggot. She's not a 1 day old homunculus who innately possesses all those skills.

So, the last human he saw that had that kind of shine in her eyes was Shiny Chariot, right?

Also, will Jewragon play a part in the series finale just like the Shooting Star?

>ywn be Akko

>>153154955
Shes just the von Neumann of magic

>>153155025

someone edit it so Diana shows up at the end of the conversation and fixes everything

Next episode is fountain of solaris? I hope Ursula is at least involved in whatever the fuck mess Akko gets into.

>>153155010
I'm sure she puts in effort. That's not why she's the best though. It's her natural talent.

Doesn't seem like it, your argument flip flopped between two diametrically opposed viewpoints

>>153155051

She'll pull a Simon once Ursula dies

>>153155087
The claim was that she didn't put in effort. Talent is irrelevant.

But they did anon.

Don't you get it?
They took money from hard working, non-witch families, then apparently didn't tell them shit about how to get to the school.

And if they couldn't get there in time for the opening ceremony, they'd be expelled.

They literally expected to just get a term's payment out of people like Akko for free.
The school is run by assholes.

>>153155101
Pleb detected, being Akko is a life goal.

SHE HATES IT

>>153155033
That only proves how much of a taboo that is to enroll a muggle and how deep in the shit they were.

>>153155014
Do I really need to post more caps for you to remember or at least realize what happened that episode?

>>153155136
>Talent is irrelevant.
Talent is key. It's the main reason Diana is much better than anyone else, teachers included. Hard work can't account for such a gap of skills and power.

>>153155183
but that's racist

>>153155211
Says who.

>>153155082
Oh look it's one of those useless hags who I'll never have respect for because they don't know how to run a school

>>153155188
I remember. She learned not everyone wants to become like their idols. Cool, but it doesn't develop her character. She hasn't changed at all.

>>153155211
T-thats not what muh shonens taught me

>>153155211
It is irrelevant to this argument.

You idiots do know that having the ability to use magic and the ability to be a witch are two different things in this universe,right? Akko has magic power, she just has no idea how to use it and she's too thick headed to listen to those boring outdated teachers instructions.

>>153155251
Name 3 shounens right now where Birth and Lineage and Luck (which is considered in Eastern philosophy to be something you're born with) have ROUTINELY lost to Hard Work, Dedication, and Friendship EXCLUSIVELY.

I'll wait. I've always got time to be proven wrong by somebody with somebody that can back their argument up. Means I learn shit.

Guys, why wasn't Fish-sensei brought in when they were discussing the dragon business?

Cane-sensei was, and we have no idea what she teaches either.
