| Well. Nice first episode. And basically one question. Do the events of the other 2 titles will count? Will they Show us a diffent prespective of the stories? |
| Feeling so happy right now. The ovas were amazing and finally the series is airing. Honestly, I don't mind if there's a huge plot on this series or not (not against it either). Simply with the Fantasy Slice of Life tone I'll be more than satisfied. |

Everything it does feels like the sort of thing which normally happens in stories like this. It avoids making mistakes by not taking any risks with anything at all unusual, and sticking with things which are known to work. It's OK, but there's far more value to an interesting failure like Kiznaiver. (But the only reason to make Harry Potter comparisons is if you're only ever seen/read/etc two magic school stories in your life. I bet half of the people doing it think Potter invented the genre. At least choose something like The Worst Witch as a comparison point instead.) Exactly how I felt. Certainly well animated, but no spectacle in the other departments |

| Oh my god that was amazing!! I think I liked that more than the first film. Going to watch the second film.....would have watched that already but I didn't know it existed until now....but anyway: This might be my favorite for the season. |

True the OVAs were pretty simple, but I am interested to see what they do with the anime. We're only one episode in so I wouldn't dismiss it just yet. Don't worry I haven't dismissed it. I'm still definitely curious to see where they'll take it in terms of the plot and characters. |

| Anime will finally be saved! Bless the almighty Trigger gods! In all seriousness though, amazing first episode. It's hard not to get carried away by animation and art as spectacular as this and with a main character as excited entralled as Atsuko. |
| This was a good first episode, I have high expectations for the rest of the season. ^^ |
| Looks promising but akko is unbearably annoying >.> |

| This can be called like Boku no cute girls that don't kiss academia or female Deku adventures with magic stick and almost no tears :D |
 |
| Pretty good start. It's cool how this time around, they showed them all meeting each other for the first time. |
Freshmen... lol Sucy best gurl. This series is definitely going to be awesome. The soundtrack and the animation were just perfect! |

| Stuck up witch bitches. The friendship development is solid. |
For me, this anime already wins a big spot for the Winter 2017 season. It's playful, it has its own level of drama, magic, and silliness! Truthfully I cannot find something I dislike about it. The designs, backgrounds, art, photography, animation, all are spot on. Fun fact: The shiny star that Urusula saw (hot teacher Ursula) was in the middle of some man's legs... Oh Trigger, you and your references and easter eggs xD perverts jaja. It seems the series will not follow the same events of the prior OVAs, oh well, that's fine. |
| Ok i wasn't expecting anything from this anime but i must admit, it was a great start xD Pretty funny in most moments, i really hope it will continue this way. It seems that his anime is well known, i hope i will like it ;) Ako is very cute :3 Those 3 witches...more like 3 b*** xD |

| knew i was missing something will watch this soon,curious to how much content from the Movie/Ovas will carry over if any,nonetheless it's gonna be weird since i already know quite a bit of the cast and since were starting fresh with being it's a full on own series. It was great! hopefully we can get some cool villains in trigger fashion this time around |

| I expected this! It was so fun to watch. It's nice to see the girls from the beginning with a complete story. The universe seems well constructed and the monster fit perfectly in it. I am looking forward to see the next episode |
| it was alright i guess, didn't really like the main characters tho |
| Watching only this + 3gatsu + Konosuba and Rakugo sequels this season is gonna finally make me stop bitching about anime, at least temporarily I mean, Amanda already showed up in the background. And once during the OP. It can only get better from here |
| this episode looked pretty, otherwise it wasn't really outstanding or anything but still a nice watch. i hope since this is a full series i will get more invested in it than the OVA. |
 |
| AOTY for me, i'm so glad it's 2 cour. |
 |
| OMG. Finally an anime I can look forward to. I waited 6 months for you. <3 What a great first episode! <3 |
| UGH I'm such a fool... how the hell did i miss the first episode of this airing??????? I've been waiting for this for so long. I LOVE stuff like there, there's not enough of it that exists!! T-T |

| Okay so I clearly didn't enjoy this episode as much as the majority but it was a nice start. Sucy is pretty adorable. Was pretty surprised to find out that this is gonna be 25 episodes long- I'm wondering what direction it'll take- will we have an overarching plot to do with Silver Shiny Chariot or will it just be fun and episodic? I'm on the fence about continuing rn, but I think I'll give it a few more eps at least. |

| This will be one of my fav series this season, a fun show with a nice start :D I'm glad to have watched this without knowing what to expect :) |
 |
| Trigger quality at its best. This show is a solid follow on my list this season! 5/5. |
 |
| Best Trigger anime is back, baby. |
 |
| You know, now that I re-watched the original movie, I kinda preferred how they handled the transformation of the Shiny Arc in the movie better. Here, she was guided by Ursula, but in the movie, she did it all on her own. Being the huge fan of Chariot that she is, I kinda liked that she would instinctively know how to use it. |
| It looks good, great visuals and character designs. I also like the ost. Lets see what can offer us this anime, animated by Studio Trigger. |
 |
| Jonathan! My, how you've grown! (if you don't get it, see Glasslip) It started the same as the original. I didn't realize Trigger was behind this until now. It's nice to see it has the same style/music/feel. It should be a nice magical adventure. |
| It's nice to see how the main girls met each other and have their first adventure. The episode introduced the world pretty well and I already love the setting. Could easily be AOTS. 5/5 |
| Wow, this was suprisingly good. On par with first OVA, a lot better than Enchanted Parade. I loved their facial expressions and the animation was also great. The balanced the setting and the comedy just right! The show has certainly potential to be really great and after first episode I have all reasons to believe that this series fills in the parts OVA couldn't. Not to mention there will be whole 25 episode of this.. this has to be a dream come true! Way to go, Trigger! |
| that truely was one of the best first episodes i've ever seen |
| Objectivity doesn't exist. Subjectivity is an excuse. Beautiful world of online discourse. |
| I really liked the movie, so I am enjoying this too. |
 |
| Wow they finally made an anime about Harry Potter (with some "minor" changes) xD |
| already off to a great start, i already been in love with this series since the movies happened and for it to finally have a tv series i been waiting for the day for it to happen! love trigger for doing what they do and will be enjoying this series all the way |
| "one step at a time" |
| -MC-chan seemed super amazed by that performance -In all of the time that I've known of this franchise's existence it never once occurred to me that there was a magic side of the world and a nonmagic side of the world -Akko is 2cute -Wait wasn't purple hair going in the opposite direction when they crashed into each other -This premise is actually a ton more interesting than I expected -The soundtrack is super good, actually. This may be the first thing I've seen where I've actually noticed the background music -I dunno, something about the whole show's atmosphere makes it feel like a classic cartoon. Maybe it's just the colors used in this episode -Purple hair's name sounds like sushi -Akko is super cute -The OP song and animation are also super good I've been holding off on anything LWA-related for a pretty long time now, probably because I thought it wouldn't be my thing. The first episode of this incarnation of the franchise flipped that presumption completely upside down. This is probably the first show I've seen where the ambient BGM has been both distinctive and appropriate to the situation. In many of the shows I've watched before, there's usually only a couple of pieces of ambient music that are reused in meaningful moments, but in this episode I think every BGM was unique. Also the music has orchestral instruments in it which just sounds better to me, personally. Despite hearing about LWA a lot, I never actually read up on the premise of the franchise but it's been more interesting than I thought it would be, with Akko not seeming to be a witch by blood. The characters have also been pretty great so far. Akko's been a pretty chipper character, and she's super adorable both design-wise and character-wise. Also, Sucy's a pretty great counterpart to Akko with her constant deadpan. Lotte hasn't had too much screentime yet, though, so right now she just seems like the archetypal goofy best friend. Maybe that'll end up working, since Akko's pretty goofy herself. TL;DR This episode was pretty great |
 |
| I'm loving the OST. The background music that played while Akko was being snubbed by the three witches at the Luna Nova leyline was very nice. Akko can be the stereotypical annoying character who fucks up everything but I can't completely hate her. Sometimes I do abhor her but sometimes I like her a lot. Sucy was a bit evil towards them but at least they're somewhat friends now. That giant chicken made me lol I was kind of hoping that Sucy's spell on that stuffed chicken toy would last forever. It would make a cute chocobo-like mascot. |
| 臭い- |
| So far cool. Really enjoyable and great character interaction. The simplicity of the animation is so appealing. I dig it. |
| as a long time Harry Potter viewer this was very refreshing to watch as they share quite a similar concept with each other. Lotte's character reminds me a lot of young innocent Ron Weasley back in Philosopher's Stone. aside from the HP similarities, the giant cockatrice reminded me of the basilisks in Dark Souls when it breathed out the gas which was said to leave you petrified. makes you wonder if they have possibly taken reference of the game or it was just purely coincidental |
 |
| Quite lovely start I must say! Interesting characters and a very impressive pacing! Looking forward to see what this TV series will offer for a story of Little Witch Academia! |
