Little Witch Academia

Netflix needs to hurry up with that second season already.

We have more signs that the second cour will be added on August 15th. The catch? They're all from Spanish or French-speaking websites, making me believe Netflix in America won't get it until much later.

Second "Season" is August 15.

Thanks I need my fix.

Netflix hurry up!!

The whole thing is out on netflix now.

WHAA?? NO ONE TOLD ME!

They didn't tell you because it just happened today. Or, more to the point, they did tell you, and "they" is ScrewySqrl.

Regardless of whenever the episodes were posted, Netflix's marketing is run by monkeys.

Finished the season on Netflix. This is a pretty great show.

Yeah, you know what? It's a damn great show. Well written, great characters, funny, not too angsty, well plotted and just good without artificial edginess.

Hats off to Trigger.

Now that I've watched the whole thing I'm trying to figure out how to fit the movies into the show timeline. Akko must have lost the Shiny Rod inbetween episodes then found it in the movie still inbetween episodes.

Da...why are you trying to do that?

Everything doesn't need to happen in the same continuity.

I'd prefer if they didn't, honestly. The dungeon crawl in the first doesn't seem to fit the Luna Nova we know after the series - they seem a lot less blase about putting students in mortal peril, for instance.

there are basically two continuities: the OVAS and the TV show.

I'm just up to the Giant Poision Tree episode. I've been following the series only on netflix, because laziness is a powerful force. It's also my first Trigger show, so that cherry's been popped. It's the most trope-y anime ever, but delivery more than makes up for it. The character designs are clean and all different, animation's expressive and always interesting to look at, and the characters themselves are charming as all hell. It's been a good time.

The Diana Two-Parter is my second-to-third favorite story in the show so far. Diana starts the series as a 3, but becomes one of the best characters throughout that whole ordeal.

I think we have enough evidence to know that the series' continuity is separate from the OV As'. Example: in the series, Akko finds the Shiny Rod in the enchanted forest on her way to orientation, but in the OVA she finds it after she's already spent weeks in school, on the campus basement.

Speaking of the Diana two-parter... oh, I don't know if this is a spoiler, really, but why not play it safe. I really like to imagine that Diana's able to do the same trick that her aunt does, fading into a wraith with glowing eyes and melting through solid objects. I'd really enjoy if a family of healers were associated with darkness like that, not just the dickish ones.

The family is already associated with Snakes, because of the Caudecus, a symbol of medicine since the ancient Greeks.

That makes me imagine end-game tier healing stave is just a stick with a writhing ball of snakes on the end.

I prefer to think of it as "wearing its inspirations on its sleeve".

Anyway, good links.

So apparently Trigger may actually have snuck in a reference to an early Guillermo del Toro movie called "Cronos".

I gotta say if that's the case that's kinda wild
