Anyone actually like this show? I loved the crowd funded OVAs,

No, its widely regarded as bad now.
The original ova was neat but the anime is just lifeless and shallow

>>155762217
Trolls love this anime. makes for great bait

>>155762296
Sounds like you need to be disappeared

>>155762217
I really like it

>>155762217
yes. /a/ hates it there for its not cute girls doing cute things

yeah /a/ hates it so much they have a circle jerk thread about how good it is everyday ... wait

>>155762217
>Do people like thing I hate?
You'd be surprised.

It's the best show this season.

>>155762996
Just curious if I'm the minority. My opinion won't change as it stands, but I wanted to know if I was the only one who felt it got significantly worse. The animation is fine, but holy hell, the characters and character development is awful.

Its okay, but really awkward.

>>155762217
To be fair the broom racing episode was great. But I do agree with you, it has been QUIET dissapointing so far.

>>155762217
The format changed. They're not exactly bad now, but they're not exactly about Witch Adventures anymore.

It's become a parable about the animation industry.

The character development of akko is kinda strange. She doesn't get really better in magic studies and only reflects on her doings at the end of each episode, totally forgetting everything in the next one.

Nevertheless I enjoy LWA. It's a solid 7/10. Not as good as the OVAs and not as bad as somebodies state.

>>155763077
This.
It may not be the OVAs, but it's still the first thing I download every week when I see it pop up in my feed.
It's still the best thing on Japanese television.

It could have been much better but it's still decent.
Animation quality is dropping rapidly though, last episode looked like shit.

It held my curiosity with Ursula. I was expecting a juicy backstory.
But after the recent episodes, her mysteries are starting to fall flat.

>>155764082
I didn't notice anything off, which parts looked bad to you? I actually thought the storyboards and colour design were better than most episodes so far.

>Contrarians hating it for the sake of hating it
I doubt most people in this thread even watched the OVAs.

>>155764324
Half of the episode were close ups of faces to hide the lack of animation, and even the group shots were completely flat. Also tweening all over the place.
Not that LWA's storyboards are that interesting aside from a handful like Imaishi's and Kobayashi's ones, but this was without a doubt the worst.

It's cool to hate this show. It's actually really good.

It's gotten better since the first few episodes

If it was a 1cour airing this season it probably would be AOTS assuming the pacing was better

Which isn't an argument. The show has problems, but not being like the OVAs isn't one.

I liked the movie but I lost interest after that. It's not that good.

>>155762217
Nothing in the show until now has been as good as the ovas. Only the broom race episode came close.
Its a shame because they had 24 episodes to develop the characters and world but we got mostly shitty episodic stuff with almost no focus on characters that aren't akko.

Why is Trigger so good at making shorts and ovas but so shit at making series?

>>155763669
>the characters and character development is awful
>The OVA's had better character development
and here I was thinking you were being serious for a moment

>>155765596
Shorts and OVAs don't have to follow a narrative structure. It's like expecting story in a Platinum game.

What they really need is someone to write for them.

>>155765596
KLK and Luluco were amazing.
This was Yoshinari's first series, next one will be better.

>>155765776
>Shorts and OVAs don't have to follow a narrative structure. It's like expecting story in a Platinum game.
What the fuck are you talking about?

>>155765802
>KLK and Luluco were amazing.
They weren't though. KLK's second half sucked ass and Luluco had 0 substance.

>>155765880
>KLK's second half sucked ass
It didn't, drop in animation quality aside.
>and Luluco had 0 substance.
Wrong again.

>>155765865
Shorts and OVAs only have to worry about making a self-contained, entertaining story.
Making a two-cour TV show requires some element of structure and pacing. Lest it has problems where nothing happens for multiple episodes and then suddenly a really good episode.

>>155762217
Well nothing is perfect, the first OVA will always be one of my favorites.

Episode 13 was a an example of what I want from this show, Fantasy, Adventure and Magic.and the more an episode diverge from this, the worse it is from me, like episode 10 people love so much because shipping. Romance is pretty much the kind of thing I least want to see in this series, so for me is the worst.

Each episode in the series has a different value for me, it's like watching a western cartoon, but that's also why I keep watching, even through sometimes I feel like dropping it.

>>155765990
And LWA has problems with this how? Don't tell me you're complaining about an episodic TV show.

>>155766097
I'm not. I'm saying that is why Trigger is way better at their shorts than their TV shows

Last ep was gold

>>155766178
All evidence points to their shows failing due to poor scheduling and the usual shit that happens to animators in this industry. Not so much any inherent structural difference between productions.

>>155766273
Akko joining the fairies was fucking funny. It was good enough as a joke, but I liked that it built up her character a bit too.

>>155766273
>Nobody notices that one of the fucking fairies was a robot
I guess it made more sense in-world but it still looked retarded, even Lotte got tricked.

>>155766470
It didn't really look like a robot

>>155762217
>>155763669
You're not the only one. But I don't think the series is "crap", I would say mediocre. As unrelated stand-alones, the episodes aren't that bad. Some are really shit, the one with the zombie or the jew dragon come to mind, but some others are pretty good, like the Sushi episode or the broom race episode. The big problem with this new LWA is that it doesn't work as a series. There is no bigger plot, or if there is one it's way too subdued and uninteresting. There is almost no call back to past events, everything seems inconsequential, the characters aren't fleshed out and don't evolve. You could watch the episodes in any random order and it would barely change the viewing experience. It lacks rythm, something series with several cours desperately need. There is no stretch of calm episodes, no buildup to a mid-series climax. It lacks a sense of time, how many month did Akko spend in the magic school? I had no idea until they celebrate Halloween in episode 13.
Other criticisms are more personal and a matter of taste. I don't like how the world of LWA isn't realistic, because I think it's a prerequisite to create a sense of wonder in a show about magic. We see very little of the muggle world. What we do see of the world seems to follow the rules of Tex Avery cartoons. The magic itself is too random, it looks like any idiot with a magic wand can cast whatever spell he wants. I don't like the Trigger-style limited animation, I think it worked fairly well in KLK but not there. I don't like the characters. The constant shouting and flailing of Akko. The fact that all characters beside Akko and Diana are left out. The lack of SoL moments. I could probably continue.

>>155765199
Yeah, the first one is actually a movie, while the second one is an ONA if I remember correctly, but everyone calls them OVA around here so whatever.

>>155766502
Yes it did

>>155765776
>What they really need is someone to write for them
Didn't they get Mari Okada for Kiznaiver? If they're going to hire a writer, they need to find better ones.

I like it. It's fun and entertaining with a small side of plot, which is exactly what I was expecting. My only complaint is that Lotte and Sucy should have more development.

>>155766654
No it didn't

This is the problem with tattun he brings cancer over from plebbit like this faggot. There is plenty of character development in every episode you just are to autistic to understand subtetlty. Poor westernfag who needs his shows to have plot, get off this board you need to get >>>>/out/

>>155766928
The number of people complaining about "nothing happening" or "filler episodes" is fucking stupid

People were expected more witch adventures.The most adventurous we've gotten in the TV series was turning into a fish and getting conned by a dragon. I'm personally disappointed that there hasn't been any dungeon raids, and it seems like the TV series is going retcon both OVAs from ever happening.

Still, it's a fun show. Just quite different from the OVAs people loved, hence the criticisms.

>>155766674
Okada was obviously a retarded idea, probably pushed by some Aniplex idiot. There was also the fact that Kobayashi, despite being a great episode director, really doesn't seem fit or ready to direct an original series. For Imaishi's projects you can't go wrong with Nakashima, so I really hope the rumors about Urobochi writing his next show aren't true. LWA's main writer is a veteran that worked on the industry for decades, but the writing really isn't that great, so you can't never be sure.

>>155766928
Why don't you try to defend the show instead of resorting to Xfag posting?
I'm fine with episodic shows, but they're clearly teasing a bigger plot in the background and failing at making it interesting.

>>155766542
is this pasta?

>>155767068
The movies were pretty firmly in the territory of "magic high school + believing hearts" as opposed to like, fantasy adventures. I'd say those are pretty misplaced expectations.

>>155767173
Why would it be?
No it's not, I just wrote it.

>>155767178
The films' presentation of such themes are the reason why they expected much more from the TV series, though.

>>155767366
Maybe, but I don't feel the show is "quite different" as you say.

>>155762217
Yay. I like it, but just because I emotionally invested on Trigger.

>>155765542

>>155765597
>I was thinking
And here I thought you'd use your brain to type out a coherent sentence. Guess we were both disappointed :/

>>155765597
Don't be retarded, given the time frame, the 2 ovas did a better job developing these characters as opposed to 12 episodes.
