History WMG / LittleWitchAcademia

The settings, from the art to the premise of both plots (which they can be both resumed in "a human girl loves magic so much she want to become a witch"), are so similar is suspicious. Also, in both animes the protagonist is a GenkiGirl human who adores magic (TW: Arusu; LWA: Akko) via inspiration by a role model (TW: Arusu's father; LWA: the performer Shiny Chariot) and they're part of a trio with two "pure-blooded" witches (TW: Sheila and Eva; LWA: Sucy and Lotte), and the respective signature catch phrases are just two different ways of telling the same thing (TW: "Anyone can use magic as long as they believe with all their heart!"/LWA: "A believing heart is your magic!"). It's only natural to think these animes share a bond. The guess is that after the end of ''Tweeny Witches'', Arusu at some point came back to the world of magic, saved it once again and, in the process, she let humans' world discovering its existence. Arusu and her witches friends cooperated to make things work and in the end both worlds became one. Years/centuries/millennia pass and we have the setting of ''Little Witch Academia'', in which the existence of magic isn't uncommon to humans. Sure, it isn't a perfect co-existence, as we see in ''The enchanted parade'', but that's because there's always some misunderstanding and not everyone is a WideEyedIdealist like Arusu was, and, in a "story-repeats-itself" way, Akko is in present days.

* Amanda O'Neil from ''The enchanted parade'' is (physically speaking only) [[http://oi66.tinypic.com/685w04.jpg an expy of Arusu]]. Amanda could be a direct Arusu' descendant, and that would explain why she was immediately willing to help Akko, a total stranger, with the parade: she saw in her the optimistic philosophy Arusu passed down in her family. Unlike Lotte and Sucy, she temporarely quit the project not by her own, but just after seeing that Akko herself gave up, which disappoint her. But then, luckily, she sees that Akko is indeed Arusu's successor, and she comes back.

** Also Shiny Chariot resembles alittle Arusu, with the red short-cutted hair and that CatchPhrase about the magic coming from ''the heart''. Since Arusu in the ''Little Witch Academia'' epoch would be a legendary figure, Shiny could have been inspired by her and decided to make people happy with magic, in line with Arusu's beliefs. It's worth noting that Shiny, among witches, has a very bad reputation, exactly like Arusu at the beginning of ''Tweeny Witches''. Story repeats itself indeed.

* Maybe she was so good, and so many of her achievements happened out of the sight of others that everyone started assuming she was a fraud. This would be doubly so if (as we've seen) she built quite a celebrity and courted fame.

Shiny Chariot was considered nothing but a fraud among the magic community. Eventually the criticisms against her just became too severe to handle, so she had to go into hiding for good. The seven lights in her staff faded along with her confidence in herself.

* Shiny Arc was used both times on [[spoiler:dragons]], with explosive results. [[spoiler:The fact Shiny Arc can kill a dragon alone is special, considering every other form of magic, including potions and poisons, only make dragons stronger. Both times Shiny Arc slayed a dragon it was by making the dragon swallow the arrow, after which the dragon swells up and pops spectacularly in a rain of magic. This seems to imply Shiny Arc slays dragons by overloading them with magic, making them ingest too much for them to handle. The signature weakness of EnergyAbsorption is often PhlebotinumOverload.]]

It's implied that it's not common for a {{Muggle}} to want to learn magic; but not unheard of or unlikely enough to reject an application. Learning magic makes certain beasties [[WeirdnessMagnet notice]] you more; hence having to be part of the magic community for general protection. This is enough of a problem that it is deterrence to "dude, I can fly on a broom."

...heck, as a potion(and ''poison'')-maker she's halfway there already. Note her reaction to the Minotaur's death...

* In general, {{muggles}} get along fine with wizards and witches; but keep segregated for safety issues. If a child ''wants'' to become magic though; they attract notice to said supernatural forces anyways; and it's generally considered safest to train them.
