And a lack of hints that she was a blood purist (though I doubt those exist in this world).

Loves feel-good animation a whole lot.

No, but apparently, girls from non-witch families can get into the academy. Akko doesn't have witch parents, which is why riding a broom doesn't come naturally to her.

Just saw this yesterday. So beautifully. surprised

How does one go from flashy stage magician to stuffy academy teacher? There's got to be a story there, given her surprise to how the staff was glowing again.
For that matter, why was her wand hidden in the academy building? ....and how did SHE KNOW THAT??

I got a theory:

As a jumping off point, I think the reason the rod reacted to Akko is simply because she believed in herself(certainly, more than any of the other characters in the short). Chariot was surprised to see the rod working again, so I'm gonna assume it stopped working for her at some point. Why? She stopped believing; possibly because of the seemingly universal scorn she received(and continues to receive) from the magic community. Once the rod stopped working, she just threw it away(they do note that the part of the dungeon they found it in looked like a trash heap).

Nice theory and makes perfect sense.

Of course that means that anyone who believes in themselves, even one of Akko's opponents, could use it too! :O

Akko's self confidence is pretty up there though, compared to pretty much everyone else.

Also apparently they do want to continue it but not until they know for sure that people want more.

[up]According to their twitter:

なにかの形で広げていきたいですね。しかしまずは作品をもっとたくさんの人に知ってもらわねば! RT @hirobotch: @tuka_trg この勢いのままぜひテレビシリーズ化してください!

Translation:

I want to continue to spread in the form of something. But first I must have my people know a lot more work! Please and TV series of all means leave this momentum @ tuka_trg: RT @ hirobotch!

If it gets shared and liked enough to show interest it may be expanded into a full show.

Apparently, You Tube deleted the video.

Cause... you know... it being a legal, official upload, from the studio that made it, in no way makes it okay to have online!

There's a thing called posting before reading previous posts. Careless, I know. Sorry.

They actually took it down to correct some of their translation mistakes if Tumblr is to be believed.
