>>Han Megumi's favorite episode was 20
>>"Episode 23's Diana scene was a proposal, right?"
>>the OPED singers and Megumi want to play with Diana's hair. "She would look cute with twin-tails."
I will send her a Diana dakimura.

>>159512205
"Edition" in the OP.

>>159512030
Why is this show so popular here? I watched the first 5 episodes or so and it was garbage.

>>159512030
>the AkkoAndrew thing is pretty much fully discarded
Trigger is fucking cowardly yuri shits then?

>>159512237
Get out.

So is it safe to assume that it's all thanks to Megumi that Andrew x Akko plot was discarded and that we got some Diana x Akko moment at the end?

I kinda don't understand Trigger doing here, if they really wanted to add Akko x Andrew fully they should just do it, even if it would make show and Akko less popular, or from start they should not include Andrew in the big cast at all and make him just one-episode star and make it all-girl like in OVA.

>>159512230
Oh.>>159512250
Because megumi

>>159512281
But they didn't want to do it. They thought about it and came to the conclusion it would be shit so they didn't do it.

>>159512030
>LWA_NPCリスト

Is this for the game?

>>159512281
Trigger can't into planning because they don't have competent enough writers. Remember the very first scene of Gurren Lagann?

>>159512300
What is because megumi supposed to mean. Explain.

>>159512237
Shitposter detected

>>159512318
Previous threads said the background witches are getting full profiles in the game.

>>159512030
Let's try to decipher this.
First blue one is Katya and R-something, Romanian?
Second blue one is Marta(?) and Spanish

Andrew thing had nothing to do with Megumi. The producers (Naoko and Otsuka) didn't like it when Akko's character was defined by a guy.

>>159512030
They should have shown the witches' backstories in the fucking anime and not talk about this on panels or tweet about it. We barely know anything about any of the witches' past aside from Akko's fangirlism over Chariot which was mentioned like 50 times.

>>159512360
Megumi Han, Akko's voice actress and a black hole-massive yurifag.

>>159512415
Those are all classmate filler characters, anon.

>>159512386
Looks like ロシア so Russian. Second one is indeed spanish. Name looks more like Maria but everything is so fucking blur goddamit.

>>159512433
Talking props don't have opinions. If trigger didn't say anything then I'm not fussed.

>>159512405
But Diakko has everything to do with Megumi.

>>159512524
Trigger only said Akko X Andrew won't happen, not that Akko X Diana will or anything.

>>159512654
This was weeks ago, in Japan.

>>159512547
Didn't Yoshi mention that he kinda wrote himself in a corner with Andrew? Making his relationship romantic with Akko would just mean that he likes Akko and not necessarily magic. Probably another reason why they ditched the subplot.

>>159512444
Yes I know but it was almost the same with the more important characters.
Anyway, I am looking forward to more FrankXX news now.

>>159512612
Trigger negated the possibility of Anakko here >>159512610 and apparently in today's convention.

>>159512281
Megumi has no creative influence in the show but just do her job. The subplot was discarded for multiple reasons (producer not wanting to focus on romance, Yoshinari realizing that Andrew would only like Akko and not magic, etc). If you read the talks with Megumi, it's just mostly her reflecting back at the show and not talking about her creative input.

>>159512206

Nah, it's because the show would be shit with a romantic subplot.

They should have removed Andrew or made him interact with way more witches, even some traditional ones instead of just Akko. It's bizarre how fast he turns his opinion on witches when he hasn't even seen any of them doing any useful shit.

>>159512861
Its just a retweet anon.

and it still feels that way too.

>>159512888
Andrew's victory and the culmination of his arc is standing up to his father. That kind of shows the human side of the "reconstruction of magic" thing. That said, you aren't wrong.

Of course, not. Chariot deserves some love from the jap witch too.

>>159512949
Andrew and his entire muggle subplot was so pointless. His dad pulling a 180 at the end and asking for Andrew to share his opinions related to witches felt totally hollow. Nothing we'd seen of Andrew ever suggested his opinion had changed that much from his father's. Yes he built a more amicable relationship with Akko, but beyond that...

And in terms of overall plot, the only thing he contributed was giving Akko a frame of reference for when Diana came to cheer her up.

I actually think it would be better if they have made him more like OVA Diana. More proud, arrogant and is condescending toward Akko the way OVA Diana was. He is too much of a nice dude and his manner is exactly the same as TV Diana, the way they carry themselves or how "special" they are with everyone around going gaga for them.

Chariot or Ursula-sensei?

It was a "What-if" scenario intended to portray an outcome which might come to pass should the characters have made less optimistic choices in life.

Is what the writers went with after a fan suggested it to them after the fact.

So, is that lwa chronicle thing gonna be on amazon jp? When does it come out?

>>159515106
My point is that their planning ability is less than ideal. That scene was supposed to happen when they originally wrote it but then it didn't.

>>159515081
Are you implying that giving Akko a romantic partner, boy or girl, will make her character better? Her main arc was about her dreams, not her lovelife.

The show is about Akko and her dreams of becoming a great witch and so on, which have jack and shit to do with romance.
If the franchise ever gets to a point where Akko's done with her education and is out in the world doing shit? Then maybe we can talk romance, but it wouldn't be Little Witch Academia then, would it?

>>159515230
Sucy and Lotte noticing Akko sneaking out in the middle of the night, eventually following her to find she'd been meeting secretly with Diana... who's teaching her how to cook delicious desserts for some occasion for her coven; one of their birthdays or some such perhaps.

It's mostly just piggybacking onto the opinion's of Akko's VA. She's as much a fan as the rest of us, but of course has nothing to actually do with the production and thus nothing she says has any real weight to it.

Not that it's gonna stop anyone from holding up her statements as much as possible, myself included.

>were proven incorrect.
No, my point stays the same. They wrote that scene because they intended it to happen in the series, it didn't because the plot ended up taking them a different direction due to bad planning and then they went "sure, let's go with that" when a fan proposed a solution of sorts.

Straight from the horse's mouth. They wrote it without planning everything they needed to get to it.

>>159515646
Uh-uh. Nah. Nope. See, that's not how this works. You aren't right because you phrase it as "bad planning". The story taking a different direction means the story took a different direction, irrespective of planning. A non-answer from a Q/A confirming or denying nothing proves exactly that: nothing.

If any time a story changed during development it meant that it was poorly planned, every story would be poorly planned. I'm not even arguing that TTGL wasn't poorly planned; this just isn't proof of it.

>>159515416
>Space Jam episode

>Featuring guest:Shaquille O'Neal as Amanda's uncle.

>>159515807
I'm not sure I understand your point of view. How can you say that planning something (due to writing it as foreshadowing at the beginning) and the story ending up somewhere else that's incompatible with what was written does not count as poor planning? What counts then?

>If any time a story changed during development it meant that it was poorly planned, every story would be poorly planned.
Something changing during development is one thing. Something making it into the final product, then changing during the rest of it, especially when it's a relatively short series that can be reasonably planned all at once, sounds like poor planning to me.

Poor planning would be plot-holes, characters dropping off the face of the earth, plot contradictions. That sort of thing. The first scene in the show sets the tone. It means exactly nothing besides that and is never relevant to the plot. If Kamina's ghost showed up and said "I'm your dad!" or some characters that are never seen again appeared, then, yeah, that would be bad planning.

Poor planning results in mistakes. This was a deliberate choice.

Can't belive I was sleeping when Tattun was around again.

When does he return?

I'm amazed Tattun even comes here at all considering how cancerous LWA threads are.
Either he's "one of us" or he really has a high tolerance for weaponized autism.
Not many threads have a constant flow of fetish shit like we do here with the vomit stuff, Barbara Anon, the butt/ass eating stuff, the smelly Akko stuff and the Sucy posting stuff.

>>159516858
Diana, Akko, Luluco, and Mecha Cop

>>159516973
Tattun used to be 2ch regular by his own admission, so 4chan brand /a/utism is mild in comparison to him.

>>159516921
How can a lich even forgive someone who destroyed her phylactery?

>>159516858

>>159515957
The first statement is correct though. AnAko stuff is really discarded, which already been said plenty by both the producer and Yoshinari. The second statement is basically "Do what you want in your fanfic" which is not that different from the first actually.

>>159512250
It's because of sales and popularity. It was pretty obvious from the threads that most LWA fans were Diana/Akko shippers, they'd scare them away with Andrew/Akko which is kinda sad. I don't need romance but it sucks when creators are just doing what the fanbase wants instead of doing their own thing. I honestly don't even understand why they created Andrew to begin with.

>>159517026
It may not have been the real Stanbot, since she has so many. Any lich worth their salt doesn't carry their phylactery around with them everywhere.

>>159517156
You should know by now that she split her soul into several stanbots. The TWEEST will be that every one of them has developed a distinct personality by now.

>>159517154
Andrew's role was literally to replace Thomas and friends from Enchanted Parade. But Thomas himself was a bit pointless since he basically started liking witches just because Diana was hot.

>>159517154
Read the rest of the thread, mate. There's a reason more than "we want to pander to yurifags" that Andrew's subplot got dumped.

>>159517222
You imply Andrew is any different. He likes witches just because Akko is fun, an irony because the rest of the witches is nothing like her.

>>159517222
and andrew liked witches because he wanted akko to MAHOU him

>>159516858
>the one guy who drew her name in Japanese

That's love

>>159517222
>he basically started liking witches just because Diana was hot
Is there even any other reason more legit than that?
To be honest Andrew is too different from Thomas to be a replacement, Andrew feels like his own character, Thomas and friends seem more like those guys from the male private school.

>>159517154
Except that they already explained the actual reason they dropped the romance subplot.

They didn't like how it was shaping it up because it was becoming a shoujofest, so they dropped it and with reason.

That was my main concern with Andrew ever since his introduction month ago, that he was not only going to be the token male character in the cast but he was going to be automatically labelled as romantic interest.

Dropping the romance subplot actially did a favor to Andrew's character.

>>159517154
>implying that TRIGGER doesn't consist mostly of Dianafags.

>>159516858
I would have trouble choosing either Yoahinar or Hori to draw Chariot. I love how they draw her equally.

Other than that, Constanze and Inferno Cop.

Since she's a lich, can Costanze be for guro?

>>159517399
All of them are except Yoshinari.

>I honestly don't even understand why they created Andrew to begin with.
To give us the political point of view through his father.
The entire plot for the climax revolves around people being unhappy with a football game that escalates into an old feud with "that other country" resurfacing.
Without this context, Croix' actions would be rather odd and the climax would feel out of nowhere because what do little witches care about muggle politics?

>>159517360
I've always wondered if Andrew's character would've been better if he was another girl. I mean they probably made him a guy because his personality would've been too close to Diana's. It would have kind of made sense if by the end of the series, girl Andrew would have been convinced to enroll in Luna Nova.

>>159517794
i prefer the "little kid andrew" idea

>>159517698
Yoshinari said he likes everyone but he likes Chariot's character the most and drawing Sucy the most. Otsuka's favorite is Diana. Producer's favorite is Croix. Hori's favorite is Diana but the character he has the easiest time drawing is Constance. Imaishi's favorite is Sucy.

>>159517794
God no.
That would just invite more /u/ shit and instead of only having Diakko to deal with, we'd get that as well as even more lesbian love triangles.

>>159517896
>instead of only having Diakko to deal with

>>159512030
>Feel free to do whatever you want about Diakko. Their relationship is hard to define anyway.
So what I'm getting is that this is what Megumi is saying right? Could someone kill this degenerate?

>>159517891
Poor Akko and Lotte. Especially Akko. She's only liked for what she means to Diana and Chariot

>>159517794
Hm... Well, that is kind of better than what happened to his character originally. But that would make him a more valid rival to Diana, and I like my pure Diakko goodness already.

>>159517794
Personally, there's nothing wrong with Andrew's character being male. The real problem was forcing the romantic sub-plot.

Also, him being very interested in magic, to the point to even partake in some of the events the witches get involved, but not really wanting to delve in the actual practice of it (embracing the fact that he's a muggle) would be a refreshing point about him.

What I'm trying to say is that the iden of him being a muggle point of view in the show is actually ok and it can be still implemented in future LWA if they write it with completence, with of course zero romance.

>>159518135
>they write it with completence
So, never then.

That would be OK, if witches in LWA were really witches. They just look like normal girls that happen to know how to use magic. All the mysticism and lore that witches are supposed to have is missing there.

>>159518224
Tell me he only meant the 2nd one where Akko was at her most obnoxious. I find it difficult to believe that he likes retarded Akko more than normal Akko.

Do Sucy, Constaze and pic related look like normal people to you?

He didn't like OVA 1 Akko because he felt she was selfish and got rewarded for disregarding hardwork and studying hard. That's why he made sure to give her scenes in which she was hitting the books in EP. But then he went too hard on his theme about "pushing your friends away due to your ambitions".

>>159517891

That's why I said "even more" in my previous post.
I don't even care about the straight ones, all I know is that people don't talk about them as often and doing so just incites yurifags so making Andrew a girl would only push for more.
I don't even ship, I just want to enjoy talking about the little witches but all I get is faggots taking a shit all over their friendship by making it sexual.

>>159518726
Otsuka is Trigger's CEO and one of the main writers of LWA. He wrote episodes 5, 17, 23, 24 and 25.
Imaishi storyboarded episode 8 and parts of the final battle in episode 25.
Hori was the main animator, he did a bunch of work in the show. He animated stuff like the show from the start of episode 1, Diana's unicorn summoning, Stanship's launch or the Itano Circus sequences in 25.

>>159518491
No kidding, the way Akko treated Lotte and Sucy was ridiculous. Anime Akko is best.

>>159518946
That's what I said; Yoshinari doesn't like OVA or EP Akko. They talked about that in AnimeWest. They tried to show more of Akko's good side more in the TV show.

>>159518946
Because she instead pushed her friends away in favor of a new better friend?

>>159519062
That's why I really want a S2 to fix this problem.

>>159518946
>Anime Akko is best
Anime Akko is no better, she basically ignore them in the most important situations and never tell them anything. And yet, she expects them to help her in anything she wants, like with the Vajarois situation.

>>159519062
She didn't push them away, the show just didn't do anything with them.

>>159519138
If anything, S2 should realise Akko's story is over and make most episodes focus on other people.

Anime is made in advance; you needed to have the storyboard and story to animate that first episode. and the assumption is that the story is done or nearly done so the foreshadowing can be effective. The fact that the story changed midway through production, making the foreshadowed scene nearly pointless, can indeed be counted as "poor planning", as the planning for the story was not complete and thus changed the cohesion of the overall narrative to what was animated before.

Changing plans or not having everything planned in advance doesn't equal poor planning. A show could be made up on the spot every week and be well planned. The two are not mutually inclusive. Again, I'm not saying TTGL WAS well planned. I'm saying that something changing between point A and (well before) point B isn't necessarily indicative of that.

No, it really can't. This isn't South Park that can be written and "animated" in a week. It takes weeks just to do one episode. You have to have some kind of solid foundation for the story so that storyboards and animation can be added, never mind the voice work and post production.

Stop not wanting Trigger to go bankrupt.

>>159523468
That's true, so it's a good thing that in the specific case we're talking about the only discrepancy was between the very first and very last episode, much longer than a week.

>>159523705
It's not between the first and last episode, it's between the first episode and the beginning of the timeskip, since that is what establishes the story direction for the second half. If the show had good planning, then the story would have remained consistent, and the foreshadowing would have actually foreshadowing, instead of a discarded idea.

Funny, because that's exactly what you're doing. You're treating the disconnect between the scene in episode one and the second half of the story as a mere story change with disregard as to how anime is actually made. You seem to think that anime storywriting is easily amendable and fluid when you fail to account that the story and script needs to be done so that animation can begin. Changing the story midway tends to fuck up production, like what happened to KLK

When it came time to animate the episode, record the voice acting, etc, the plan had changed. All that means is the planned changed, not that it was done well or poorly.

Here's what I'm trying to say: the fact that the show changed during production isn't a factor of how it was planned. How could they have anticipated that? The plan was sound. They intentionally deviated from it.

Poor interviewer, being hetfags in the wrong show.

>>159524552
>How could they have anticipated that?

lol wut

If the show was well planned out from the start, there would not have been a story change. End of.

Also, you say the story was "deliberately changed". In that case, they would've explained in story the disconnect, or addressed it in some way. They didn't, which means that this change was "not planned".

One last thing- good planning has contingencies for plan deviation

This.
There's nothing worse than art school and the "people" that frequent them.

>>159524901
Well planned isn't synonymous with "I as the creator will never change my mind about it".

A show with bad planning:
>Here's the plan
>Episodes 1 - 26 come out
>Oh fuck, the show makes absolutely no sense because it was poorly planned

Not an example of bad planning
>Here's the plan
>Episodes 1 - 13~ come out
>Actually, let's change this a little
>Episodes ~14 - 26 come out
>The only discrepancy is a single scene from the first episode of the show which is explained away and ultimately doesn't matter at all

I artistically went through the Darling in the FrankXX CM. Are these the mecha designs? Looks a bit like DixNeuf.

Bad writing isn't "poor planning", it's simply writer incompetence. "Poor planning" implies the production of the show not going as planned. That could be script changes, not enough time to animate an episode, staff changes, etc.

Some crazy robot piloting method with a lot of people involved?

I'm expecting this to be Diebuster + Eva + Bokurano + 7Seeds Team Summer A arc.

Some place where they keep a bunch of "kids with no name".

>>159525384
The issue here is that these terms are nebulous to define and fairly subjective. Some of those examples can be evidence of poor planning, but aren't inherently so. A staff change because, for example, the episode director was in a car crash wouldn't be "poor" planning. It would mean the plan got messed up, but that's through no fault of the production staff. Similarly, if everyone agrees to change something, that means the plan changed, not that it was good or bad. It can still be done well or poorly outside of that.
The production of the show not going as planned would be an unanticipated factor.

Epic fantasy sequel to LWA when?

>>159525645
Which girl will be the tsundere? I see one with twintails.

>>159525815
Great Witch Kagari when

>>159525148
I am sure Yoshinari already knew how things were going to be, but the rest of the staff were the ones that pushed him into making changes.

>>159525892
That's probably the case for LWA.

I kind of wish there was something between them in those episodes, even if it's a little bit. Granted 17 and 18 we're good on their own anyway.

>>159515081
I hate tumblr and neofag but I believe that LWA shouldnt have any romantic relationships from sodomitic to hetero.

>>159526016
Still quite a bit of info out soon though. There's the stream this month and the artbook with all the background witches info + extra stories. I think there will also be a stream every month leading up to the release of the game. Also, Tattun already mentioned that getting the nendos will indicate interest so they just might make them.

>>159526016
The game is releasing this november.

>>159526244
I forgot to ask Tattun if the Japanese release is going to have subtitles too. Either way, still got the special edition preordered.

I'm still bothered they don't have the preorder exclusives nor actual game artwork sorted out yet. Seeing Croix on the placeholder artwork when she isn't in the game is triggering

I'd ask Hori for a Midori

>>159526840
I hope the stream soon will reveal stuff as well as playable Diana and Ursula.

>>159526016
I'm still hoping for a BD set OVA desu, they'd be dumb not to

>>159516858
It's cool, but that's not exactly uncommon.

Fun fact: they had to teach Walt Disney how to draw a passable Mickey, since people assumed he was an animator.

What anime would each little witch watch?
