This OVA from Studio Trigger came out in March and omygod, is it beautiful.
I saw snippets of it around Tumblr a lot last fall (?) when the concept art and such came out,
but I lost track of it and eventually forgot about watching it, eeheh.
It's one of the Anime Mirai 2012 - Anime Mirai is a project which selects new young
animators to train under an established master/director.
LWA was produced by Studio Trigger, and has the same director as
Panty and Stocking (another really good show I recommend).
(all gifs not mine, found on tumblr under "little witch academia" tag)
It's really gorgeously done animation, & the characters get a good
amount of depth and growth considering that the OVA's only 30 minutes.
The feel of the show is a lot like Harry Potter (down to the main trio, and
the blonde snobby antagonist /no spoilers though!/), and the art is beautiful,
something between anime and Western cartoons. Even more awesome,
there's a lot of references from other shows and even books (Harry Potter of course,
Madoka Magica, LOTR..it goes on! Look for the Patil twins and Mami Tomoe).
As great as Akko was, personally my favorite was Sucy (she seems to be quite popular).
Did anyone else think she looks a bit like Fluttershy from MLP?
