Little Witch Academia...
Recently, I stopped by the AnimeNation forum when John mentioned Little Witch Academia...
According to Wikipedia:Recently, I had a chance to see Little Witch Academia and I enjoyed it very much. There are no naughty bits to speak of and no gore. Little Witch Academia is beautifully animated and tells a complete story in and of itself. I would certainly like to visit the world of Little Witch Academia a little while longer, but, having the opportunity to see something is better than nothing. I would give Little Witch Academia a 4 out of 5. This is one of a handful of anime in my collection that I picked up from online sources.
Little Witch Academia is a 2013 animated short produced by Trigger for Anime Mirai 2013. The short was created and directed by Yoh Yoshinari and written by Masahiko Otsuka and was released in theaters on March 2, 2013. Trigger later began streaming the short with English subtitles on YouTube from April 19, 2013.
Akko Kagari is a girl who joins an academy for young witches after being inspired at a young age by a witch named Shiny Chariot, and often spends her days hanging with her classmates, Lotte and Sucy. However, she has trouble paying attention in class, doesn't know how to ride her broom, and is often looked down upon for admiring Chariot, whom many believe gives the wrong impression about witches. One day, as the class is instructed to explore a dungeon and retrieve rare treasures, Akko finds the Shiny Rod that belonged to Chariot. Meanwhile, the top student, Diana Cavendish, inadvertently breaks a seal on a dragon that grows more powerful by absorbing magic. Noticing the Shiny Rod still has power after all these years, the teacher sends Akko and her friends to reach the Sorceror's Stone, the source of the academy's power, before the dragon can devour it and become invincible...
