Exactly. That's the reason why people like it.

The movies were refreshing because of that fact. as a series it's nothing special, and it shows in sales.

>>153172609
>this is just a fucking kids show
Obviously. Why would you expect something else?

>>153172609
sorry it isnt about little girls going through some horribly traumatic existential crisis with some kind of 2deep4u religious subplot that is a scathing social commentary on contemporary problems.

some people just want to enjoy a nice story about young people going to magic school rather than some edge lord tragedy disguised as slice of life.

>>153172640
Actually no.
It's the reason why people are complaining about the simplistic and inconsistent writing and characters.
Like Diana outclassing the teachers at everything, learning dragonspeak at 12 yo, and the teachers never searching for someone able to actually read the contract.
Or the students being expelled if they arrive late to the ceremony but then allowed to break literally any rule once they are enrolled.
It's a huge disappointment.

>>153172738
>Like Diana outclassing the teachers at everything, learning dragonspeak at 12 yo, and the teachers never searching for someone able to actually read the contract

This might be an indication that, for all their arrogance, the staff are actually pretty incompetent on the whole, with only a handful of the teachers actually knowing or caring how to do their jobs.

This shit really gets me. Especially since every episode has Akko acting like a little shit but being enabled by the plot and at worst getting some measly chore as punishment.

>>153172829
think it's more a problem of the writer being an hack.
We already got a warning with the second OVA, and the fight between Akko and Amanda in this episode felt exactly as forced and poorly executed as the conflict of Enchanted Parade.

>>153172609
it has been everything i hoped for and im also glad they chose to not put in panty shots even though there is alot of opportunity for it

>>153172991
If you consider that the academy can't afford losing any more students it makes sense, but it also makes the rule of the first episode even more stupid.
Why did it even end up in the script? Wasn't the trio being chased by a cockatrice enough, did it really need some artificial tension completely stupid and inconsistent with everything else?

Yep, me too set my hopes too high for this show.

I was expecting something like the ova and the movie but with less quality but nonetheless wholesome complete story. And as they announced 26 episodes so some side stories of other witches groups as well.

What we have now is dumb episodes of nothing. But fags screaming MUH FAMILY FRIENDLY MUH SETTING MUH %WITCHNAME% and they are just happy to live on memories of the ova and the movie and piss themselves every time object of their faggotory appears on screen, they will eat shit if it will be marked as LWA. Sad.

>>153172886
um, no, not at all. there is absolutely no rule whatsoever that kid's shows have to be dumbed down and simplistic. in fact I've seen several kid's shows that are more mature than shows that are supposed to be for adults. also, they said from the beginning this was a kid's show.

>>153172609
That's why I love it. I like to imagine how it would be like to grow up watching this.

>>153177542
I don't get it, why would you assume the presence of a story when that had never been said? why does a show like this need a story to begin with, does every anime need an overarching story arc? why is being episodic a bad thing?

Nothing wrong with a kids show, but it is kind of a letdown coming from the guys that did Kill la Kill.

>>153172738
>Like Diana outclassing the teachers at everything
If you send a really gifted pupil who had private teachers up until then to an average school (yes Luna Nova is just a mediocre school riding on its past fame), then of course you're gonna get situations like that.
>learning dragonspeak at 12 yo
And kids in Germany here can choose Latin or Old Greek as their third language at age 12, instead of French or whatever else.
>and the teachers never searching for someone able to actually read the contract.
It'd look awfully bad for the school's reputation (they're already in the shitter) if people find out the teachers can't even do that properly. So they kept it under wraps.
>Or the students being expelled if they arrive late to the ceremony but then allowed to break literally any rule once they are enrolled.
Yea that's kinda dumb, but I can see why they'd do that. If we assume that they get paid by semester upfront, then getting rid of the little shits right as the year begins will still net them half a year's worth of tuition fees. Meanwhile if the kids are enrolled, you might as well drag them along until the second semester so you can collect dat sweet second semester tuition fee.

LWA doesn't have a single cotton-picking thing that's similar to Harry Potter. For start, you know more about Akko's personality from the first episode than you know about Harry's after you've read all 7 of the fucking books.

Why are you even trying so hard to justify blatantly lazy writing?
The elderly teachers being utterly incompetent compared to a 16 year old and letting her solve all their problems and basically run the school is stupid. Why is she even there then?
The whole dragon contract deal is so stupid if you think about it for a second it's incredible the script was approved. The contract is 1000 years old and yet nobody in all this time (or even in the decades the current director has been in charge) has tried to have it translated or even tried to learn the language, they had to wait for a prodigy teenager.

>>153172640

>>153178528
Dude LWA can't even keep extremely basic and trivial stuff consistent, not fucking up time travel is much harder in comparison and few pull it off.

>>153178545

More like I'm looking at it with common sense and don't need everything explained.

The teachers paying Jewnir is basically the same as the monkey-ladder experiment. They continue paying because they've always as far as they remember had to pay him interest regularly. That they're inept has been made clear from the start. It's something you can hate or like, but it's not like it wasn't made clear from the start that Luna Nova is a third rate school with shitty teachers who know their area of expertise but nothing else.

Meanwhile Diana is set up as a prodigy who has had the best private tutoring she could get, and I'd wager the plot is moving into the direction of her becoming head of school eventually. At least that is what all the teachers are banking on, plus the fact that her being there increases the prestige of their shitty school.

every argument is this thread is absolutely invalid.

>>153178676
The director even took out the contract just to stare at it cluelessly before Diana walked in. It's not like they never questioned it, they clearly wanted to know what it said to find some loophole. So why in decades, if not centuries they did not try to have it translated or translate it themselves? The premise of the episode was flawed and nonsensical to begin with.
The writing is all around poor and has been since the new writer took over with The Enchanted Parade. The fight between Akko and Amanda felt forced and unnatural exactly like the conflict between the trio in the movie. The movie has also that extremely idiotic thing about the witch hunt commemoration, where to not forget the atrocities muggles committed in the past they kick some witches around and replicate the old tortures on them. Makes perfect sense, I can see people doing the same about slavery and holocaust.

>>153179017
I stopped taking him seriously the instant he posted an OP where he complained about "kids shows" and talked like he'd only just heard about LWA after the TV series came out.

That's pretty easy to answer though. They had no one who could read the language and they didn't want to ask anyone for help of fear that Luna Nova's reputation would be fucked.

Sorry but I'm skeptical.

>>153179106
If a 12yo can learn it so could a bunch of old women in decades (or even centuries, the fact that the author of Night Fall was believed to be just one person implies witches live very long).

>>153179261
>the fact that the author of Night Fall was believed to be just one person implies witches live very long
It implies they can, not that they naturally do.
Not that nobody in the school learning it in so long makes any more sense if they live as long as a normal person anyway.

>>153178528
They broke the entire British supply of the things in Book 5, and they were heavily regulated to begin with. There's implications that the British Ministry of Magic didn't get along with most other non-European nations, and most of them were still using owls to communicate (which can take days on end just to cross from Hogwarts to London and back again), so it's not like it would've been easy to resupply those.

Yeah, it would've been helpful to have them, but they were written out long before it could've been useful.

You're being an idiot. None of the past teachers or the headmistress would give a shit about some random ancient contract they had with fafnir. The only reason it was brought up then was because they defaulted.

It isn't "nobody in luna nova's history has been able to read this for 1000 years!!!", it's "nobody cared enough until we ran out money and none of our third-rate faculty knows this stupid script."

>>153179452

Yes, shows with overarching stories are always better than episodic shows. Even episodic shows like trigun and GITS:SAC get a lot better, once the real overarching story kicks in.

>>153179642
No, when the academy was still respected and ran by competent people (read: financially self-sufficient) they didn't care enough to check. It's a fucking legal contract for a loan that was made centuries ago - why would any previous faculty member go looking for it and then scrutinize the text for loopholes if it wasn't an issue then?

>>153179871
>It's a fucking legal contract for a loan that was made centuries ago
But the contract was made at some point, and either there was someone who could read Dragonese present there, or there was not.
If there was, when and how did the school start paying interest on the loan? It can't be from the beginning.
If there was no person present who could read Dragonese when the contract was signed, what the fuck was Luna Nova thinking?

Unprecedented. I forgot things in anime were perfect and immune from human error.

>>153180158
Well thanks for not answering any of my questions.
My point is, either they paid interest from the beginning, meaning nobody has ever read the contract, or the dragon at one point asked for higher rates, at which point they should have looked at the contract again.
>I forgot things in anime were perfect and immune from human error.
No you colossal retard, that is the point. They DID make a huge error because they are inept.

>>153180158
>letting the school go near bankrupt due to a debt you don't know if even exists
>sit on the document for a millennium and never get it translated
This is sheer stupidity, not mere human error. You just keep piling assumptions and mental gymnastics to justify blatant poor writing.

Let's just assume that the knowledge of dragonese is kept exclusive within the most ancient families that pass it down only to their heirs and forget about this.

I think it would be better if the pace was a little slower and there was slightly more of a focus on atmosphere.

>>153180304
1. It's not a debt, 2. The school went under because they lost 2/3rds of their annual enrollment.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought it kinda sucks. Given Trigger's track record I'm fairly disappointed desu, especially given that it's their own franchise.

As if there was any doubt about the flop of the dullest franchise in the history of anime franchises where each episode following the girl witch and her pals from Luna Nova as they fight assorted magical creatures has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the forced animation, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective storytelling, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Trigger vetoed the idea of Kobayashi directing the series; they made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for figmas. The LWA series might be the anti-Kill la Kill (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-Tweeny Witches series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.
>a-at least the OVAs were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the films were terrible. As I watched, I noticed that every time Akko found herself in a pinch, the author made her overcome it by "believing in herself."
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that solution was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Yoshinari's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that he has no other style of directing. Later I read a lavish, loving comment of LWA by the same Hayo Miyazaki. He said something to the effect of, "If these kids are watching LWA at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to watch my Kiki's Delivery Service." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you watch "LWA" you are, in fact, trained to watch Miyazaki.

Similar works meaning "the slew of similarly bland and generic YA fiction that circulated through American schools like bad bills." Anything that's influenced by Harry Potter is worse for it.

LWA has nothing in common with Harry Potter but witches and magic. It doesn't have a similar plot. It doesn't have similar characters (thank God) or parallel relationships. The ideas it explores are entirely different. Their worlds are different, with different rules and creatures.

You have to completely lack any sense of nuance to think they're even comparable.

To be quite frank, I think you underestimate the number of people jerking it to nostalgia.
Admittedly, I'm only beginning to notice as well. I've been ignoring them all this time. "Those must be a couple of wackos," I though.

I'm capable of feeling nostalgia, too, but it seems some have a sense of it exponentially greater than I can possibly hope to comprehend. And they are more than I ever thought. They also tend to sicken me.

I honestly do not see anything wrong with putting quality FAMILY programming on TV that isn't brain dead distractions. I'm sure more parents would like to know they can actually enjoy what they are watching with their kids instead of being numb to it, or walking away from it not knowing if it's garbage. I'm actually stoked there is more care put programming.

They didn't misunderstand anything. It is a show worthy of being shown to kids' in the US despite all the bloody rules they need to oblige by to avoid getting sued over it, "soccer mom" protests, etc. It's just that damn mellow and "safe".

Comparatively, regular anime is more full of cliches and titties/pantyshots and what not that appeal to the late-night degenerate audience.

>>153185590
That means jack shit, anon. Or better saying, it does mean saying, it means that disney thought K-ON was a show suitable to their audience, just that. It does not make K-ON a kids show by any means. Naruto aired on adult swin, by your logic, Naruto is now an adult show.

>5 episodes in and we've already gone from "TRIGGER SAVING ANIME" to "this is fucking shit"
Wow this really must be shit. Normally the opinion flip for popular anime comes after it's finished airing.

>>153185741
They could never show To-Love-Ru on the disney channel, but that doesn't change the fact that To-love-ru is aimed at a younger audience than K-on.

>Naruto aired on adult swin, by your logic, Naruto is now an adult show.
No, because it doesn't work that way. An adult channel (or programming block, in that example) can air anything. Kids' networks, like Disney, have to follow rulesets. K-On being aired there proves it meets those standards and is appropriate for children.

>>153185788

That's exactly my original argument, numbnuts.

OP said LWA is worthy of Nickelodeon, as a complaint at that. So are plenty of shows discussed here frequently on /a/. I used K-On! as an example.

Is this LWA hate thread or is this /a/ hate everything thread?

The characters of TTGL don't have any depth, it's not an introspective show. What can you even say about Simon other than he admires Kamina, loves Nia and goes from zero to hero? There is no mention of what he likes and dislikes, of what he thinks of other characters, his dead parents are never mentioned past the first episode even if it should be an important deal to his character.
And if the protagonist are rather shallow the secondary characters don't even compare to those of KLK. Did anyone feel bad about those literally whos that died in the final battle? Did anyone like the two kids?

The show is more original, yes. The clothing based combat and plot beats the Super Robots and Getter mashup of TTGL, it's undeniable.

And the city state/tower of Babylon of the academy beats as a setting the barren wastelands and generic futuristic city of TTGL, equally undeniable.

None of the teachers threatened expulsion for showing up late, that was just what other students thought since it'd be a tradition.

When we actually see the school, we see how it's failing and the budget has a crises so they're always eating just potatoes, and you can see how no matter how Akko behaves, the school can't afford to expel her and lose her tuition fees.

The original OVA had dense as fuck writing. In 20 minutes established a setting full of details, a full cast of characters and executed a self contained story. Character interactions also felt natural and there were not inconsistencies and plot holes.
You can't say any of this about the series.

>>153186193
>Simon
I guess you missed the part where Simon lost his purpose after settling down in the city or the fact that he was once in love with Yoko, but then again, that was just because she gave attention to him, was attractive and he was just a insecure teenager back then. You are also severely downplaying Simon's development, as it was slow, gradative, had tension, context, build up, motivation and most of all, it was fitting to the theme of the show, which is evolution.

Next to Simon, the development of Ryuko is laughable and her hot headed personality is just as cliche as Simon's initial behavior.

>And if the protagonist are rather shallow the secondary characters don't even compare to those of KLK.
All secondary characters in KLK are completly defined their archetype and by how cool they are.

>The show is more original, yes.
First of all, KLK feel like a carbon copy of TTGL's style at first. It was even the complement of many people when the show was airing. Second, like I said the show is filled to the brim with cliches, it was even one of the points.

>The clothing based combat
Basically like a magical girl show, nothing original about that.

KLK plot is shit and a mess compared to TTGL. Everything in TTGL is there to fit the theme of evolution and at the same time to mess with shonen and mecha tropes. KLK tries to be cool and over the top just like TTGL, difference being that this was a part of TTGL theme and idea.

>>153187058
>do you honestly fucking prefer an anime that taught you nothing
What morals has anime taught you?

>Next to Simon, the development of Ryuko is laughable and her hot headed personality is just as cliche as Simon's initial behavior.
Ryuko shows way more sides of her personality than Simon, and her development is less formulaic and more subtle, which is why many don't understand it.
>All secondary characters in KLK are completly defined their archetype and by how cool they are.
Without even touching the Devas, an irrelevant character like Soroi has more nuanced characterization than every TTGL secondary character.
>First of all, KLK feel like a carbon copy of TTGL's style at first.
No? Where do you even get that idea? The first part is a mesh up of ecchi manga such as Cutie Honey, Kekko Kamen, Shameless School, various Sukeban manga and other classics like Blazing transfert student, all with a Dezaki sensibility.
>Second, like I said the show is filled to the brim with cliches, it was even one of the points.
You seem confused. TTGL was born as a sum of 30 years of mecha animation and collection of homages, and is far more derivative than KLK.
>Basically like a magical girl show, nothing original about that.
If you think Cutie Honey is the quintessential magical girl show. But even there is just surface level reference. The way the clothing and identity motifs were developed into essential elements of the plot, worlbuilding, fighting and most of all of the themes is some of the most brilliant intuition in years.
>KLK plot is shit and a mess compared to TTGL. Everything in TTGL is there to fit the theme of evolution and at the same time to mess with shonen and mecha tropes. KLK tries to be cool and over the top just like TTGL, difference being that this was a part of TTGL theme and idea.
KLK is a show about individuality and free self determination. Everything about the show is thematically consistent and the plot never loses focus.

LWA is fantastic for what it is. A lighthearted show. For all ages.

Those expecting it to turn dark/serious or even assuming that's what the TV series would provide are retarded, OVAs had the same tone and they were magical for it.

If you're not smiling while watching this show then it isn't for you. Want some "mature" anime? Pick up something else and drop this show, it's not going to drastically change.

For a Trigger show, the last episode was quite underwhelming, just like the four episodes as a whole.

Probably they are playing it safe? Akko is not bullied enough? Nobody is going to die or get seriously injured, but can we get at least some background development or growth?

I feel like this since the second half of The Enchanted Parade, In the first half, when Sucy confronted Akko about being a selfish asshole, I felt the writing was getting very solid. Even as a viewer I felt called out by her powerful insight. Unfortunately the second half was very dull and nothing happened. It's an ordeal to watch and I almost skip it every time.

Well, at least one of Diana's goons is a closet Twilight-fag. It's the only remarkable character development so far.

Nickelodeon doesn't/hardly air's anime anymore. Beside if they get any it goes to nicktoons almost immediately to die.
LWA is more something that Disney would grab

The show peaked at 2, nubcakes. Just like KLK peaked at 7. Trigger can't get into their own projects and should stick to adapting mediocre shit like Inou Battle

3 was great, 4 was good. That doesn't make 4 a trainwreck.

i'm going to assume episodes 4 through some arbitrary number are the nadia island arc episodes of this series

it's not the lack of mature themes that makes it bad, it's how feckin horrid the writing is.

Earlier someone mentioned what an ass-pull Diana being able to read "dragonese" was, and I cant help but agree. Like, where the fuck does she learn something that is unknown to literally every single professor at Luna Nova? There isn't any other fucking school, and they don't even try to explain it. We're just supposed to accept that it's because Diana's fucking perfect omg what a bitch?

The entire fucking episode was built around this glaring inconsistency. You can't get away with that just because it's a kid show.

>>153195408
Thanks for the update! Personally, I dont like it, its boring and lame. Your thoughts?

>>153190752
Diana was saying the exact same thing last ep, and she was undoubtedly right. Yet somehow despite this all of Akko's friends later still went with Akko's stupid shenanigans, and this cheapen the insight Diana gave so much so much. I think this is just either poor writing or Trigger is setting up for a blow in your face moment for Akko, but seeing the tone of 6 7 8 9 i doubt this will be the case.

Step up your game Trigger. They are making it so hard for me to root for Akko now.

>oh, WOW! No shit?! I totally didn't get that from the OVA! I hate it now!
Yeah, because the OVA had qualities that were appealing to both adults and children. The show is even MORE simplified now and just feels like something made exclusively for small kids, which leads into my next point
>How does it having moral lessons make it a bad show? Are you some immoral douchenozzle, or amoral atheist banana-fucker, or something?
Having morals isn't bad, it's the fact they have to spell it out like we're fucking retards. I'd watch Max and Ruby if I wanted that.

Nick has shit programs that blur the lines between their regular airs and the stuff that shows up on Nick Jr. Either treats you like a hyperactive child, or a baby

Parent Teacher Conferences.

I've never noticed any forced morals from the show.

>>153182645
>Harry Potter being one of the most succesful novel ever and obviously a huge influence for every following similar works
What is Lord of the Rings?
What is D&D?
Hell, what is Discworld?

You're definitely right that Harry Potter's popularity has given the tropes/themes/genres a boost though, but HP was highly derivative. Though you can hardly be blamed for citing HP since that's what introduced you to this type of fantasy, and the HP books and movies are generally quite good, great even. Nothing wrong with that. Like Akko said, who cares if you're a secondary?

>Having morals isn't bad, it's the fact they have to spell it out like we're fucking retards

But you are wrong? Where the fuck are these "forced blatant morals"?

Did the fucking episode ended with Diana saying: "Cheating is for losers, playing clean is where is at, Akko! Tee-Hee!".

Does Sucy says "Drugs are Bad"?

Does Amanda says "Stealing is Bad and she was in the wrong for doing it"?

The last episode literally didn't have a moral, unless "be smart and don't get tricked by a scammer" counts as one.

>>153184907
This, actually.

If you discount the cancer that is /mlp (or /LWA for that matter), the shows themselves are solid enjoyment for children with an innocence meant to incite nostalgia in adults (re: man-children). It's like how Doctor Who lives vicariously through his assistants.

>>153172609
And yet it's still been better than any of the other overrated crap that Trigger has put out.

>>153185477
Yeah, they need to modernize like dragon jew. At the least, use magic messenger like LotFinn69.

Inferno Cop was ultimate perfection

You just can't handle the idea of fun anon

The moral of the last episode was be economically responsible for yourself and learn how to read legal documents because otherwise your business contacts will try to FUCK you. That's why Diana is a rich oujosama and the poorfags like Amanda and Akko are stuck washing the laundry.

He's a dragon. There's no way he could have known but it was in his nature to try and scam people anyway. They are sleazy schemers with no morals or respect for the common good.
It's in the dragon writings that humans are to be eaten or scammed, like cattle.
Of course nobody talks about it because all media is owned by 6 corporations. And you know who runs those corporations? The same who run all banks.
DRAGONS!

Every time Trigger saves anime it's usually boring. In all seriousness though if you went into this expecting anything but a sort of westernized cute girl show (about witchcraft) that's on you buddy.

To be fair I haven't actually seen Inferno Cop. Maybe I'll give it a try sometime. It better not be another rushed piece of inconsistently animated garbage full of yelling, obnoxious and unlikable characters.

>>153190266
It's inferior to Doremi, which was both light hearted but knew how t o pull the heartstrings.

It's a generic SoL anime with a magic school gimmick that people give a pass because they're studio whores. It's fine that it's not that good because it's made by Trigger.

Fuck that shit.

TTGL, like Madoka, is more of a story driven series than a character driven one. The characters are all interesting and fun to watch but they mostly act as metaphors to serve the story about human potential and the balance of making the "right" decision.

You are literally retarded. It is not "MORE simplified" (nice caps lock for coolness, faggot), it is basically the same show, but extended and elongated to fit a 25 episode format.

>Having morals isn't bad, it's the fact they have to spell it out like we're fucking retards.
They never did that, though, you mongoloid.

>Nick has shit programs that blur the lines between their regular airs and the stuff that shows up on Nick Jr.
Proof that you've never watched Nick Jr. "Hey Arnold" and "Angry Beavers" are clearly not the same age demographic as "Blue's Clues", you sperging fucktard.

>Chill the fuck out and quit having a spasm over shit like an autistic manchild you faggot...?
Oh, I'm sorry, did my grammar trigger you? Get a pair, you edgy wannabe "hardcore" kid. If someone using ellipses and question marks gets you so raging pissed, I'd hate to be the girl that dumps your sorry ass.

I think the first BD is available for preorder, and there's some cheap keychains or something floating around.

It feels good to watch a different show.
Not that I hate the other current shows, but they are the same shit from the previous years (a shitty isekai, shonen, moeshit and fujobait).
