Watch Little Witch Academia For Free

Very well executed

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

I thought this anime was just adorable. The story goes a girl who wants to be a witch since she was child and gets to go to a witch school. She then meets the two other girls (one weird, one absouletely nerdy lol) going to the same school as her and come across a few monsters that'll leave you crawling with fear. Afterwards they finally arrived at the open ceremony on time and are students of the Witch School. I tell ya, this anime was so cute and really good to watch. I really wish they made this into a series or another short film as a sequel. I really think a 26 minute short is not enough to cover the whole story but I suppose, that depends on what short you are watching at the same time! Definitely recommend watching this to all ages, especially witch lovers!

I have currently watched about 5 episodes of the series and I discovered this only yesterday and I have to say it is very helpful. I kept on wondering how Akko got Shinny Charotes goldenrod but this little pilot answers my question. On how she got her hands on it.I guess the best scene was the fight with the dragon.There is not really much I can talk about here since this is only a pilot to the actual series. However once when I have completed the whole series and watch the special, I will make a full review.

"Little Witch Academia" is a Japanese anime short film from almost 3 years ago that runs for slightly under 30 minutes. It is about the title character, but also her friends at an academy for teenage witches and we get to watch their interactions with their teachers, but also what happens when a mighty dragon comes into play. I must say I was never blown away by this little movie, but it was still a pretty decent watch from start to finish. The action is interesting and same goes for all the characters. The animation was convincing as well. And finally, there was a good deal of comedy, some of it already came from the random over-the-top reactions of the characters. But there is more than that. To me personally, it was not good enough to really make me want to check out the sequel, at least not immediately. If you truly enjoyed this short film by Yô Yoshinari and writing rookie Masahiko Otsuka, then go for the second film, which is about twice as long. It certainly becomes obvious in their collaboration here that they have a good deal of talent and I recommend the watch.

As a young child Akko Kagari idolised a witch named Shiny Chariot so much that she decided to become a witch herself. When she gets to Witch Academy she is horrified to discover that her schoolmates have a low opinion of Shiny Chariot; believing her to give witchcraft a bad name with her shows. Akko does not excel at school; unlike the other girls she doesn't come from a family of witches and she hasn't learnt basic things like flying but is too proud to admit it. When the class goes into the labyrinth as part of a treasure hunt Akko is keen to slay monsters and rushes ahead of her friends Sucy and Lotte. Meanwhile Diana; the top witch in the school accidentally releases a dragon from deep within the labyrinth and everything anybody does to stop it just seems to make it bigger… inevitably it is Akko who must save the day with the help of magic she saw Shiny Chariot when she was young.This anime short is a lot of fun and packs a good little story into its short twenty six minute run time. Akko is a good protagonist; even though one can guess that she will eventually triumph she isn't too perfect… in fact she is far from perfect as she falls asleep in class, nearly kills herself trying to fly and races ahead in the labyrinth. Sucy and Lotte were fun sidekicks; especially Sucy; the results of her potions were quite hilarious. Diana made a good antagonist without being a bad person. The animation is very good with cute, distinctive character designs. There is nothing in the story to cause offence and even the scariest moments should be suitable for viewers of all ages. It is just a pity that this was a one off as I'd have loved to see more episodes.These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
