  • Surprising: Little Witch Academia

    From Sea Wasp (Ryk E. Spoor)@21:1/5 to All on Sun Mar 22 10:07:38 2020
    This short little anime series was a very pleasant surprise. The Harry Potteresque imagery (and very obvious references) was fun, but the
    combination of the magic and technological world, the plotline of the
    fading of magic combined with the earnest heroine who can't seem to get
    her magic right, and the subverting of expectations (the girl who at
    first looks to be the Malfoy turning out to be more of the Hermione, for instance) all made this series FAR better than I expected.

    Highly recommended!

    It was a great show. And the game is not bad either.

    Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time

    Not a great game mechanically(maybe better if you really like
    sidescrollers) but fun if you like the characters.
