Harry Potter is an incredible thing. Rarely has a children's book managed to catch such a wave… And not even imitations, but subtly left references, reinterpretations. Little Witch Academia, not such an obvious example, nevertheless worthy of viewing and discussion. The shortcomings of the original, which, of course, exist in all works, have been thoughtfully corrected. Take, for example, postman owls.

I watched this series with sparkling eyes, but the question did not leave me — how did Ako get into the academy, given that she is "an ordinary schoolgirl from Japan" (quote). But, "Little Witch Academia, it's not about the plot—it's simple, without any philosophical reflections on the topic. The merit of the "Academy" is a unique visual. What is the bombing scene on the castle from the dragon! Wow, it's breathtaking! And do not forget about the expressive, charming character designs, to the deepest penetration into the images.
"Little Witch Academia" is a great choice for beginner otaku. I advise you to definitely watch this anime.
