【New Review】
Hello!
Most of the new ones in January have aired three episodes, which one are you chasing now?
Today's Amway is "Little Witch Academy", a high-quality but pitiful anime that has been played on bilibili:
Synopsis:
Ordinary girl Yake because she watched the magic show of the shining Chario when she was a child, she began to yearn for magic, and also took Chario as her idol, always using her words to motivate herself, and inspiring her to become a wonderful witch like Chario. Finally, Jacob was admitted to the magic school she had longed for for many years, what kind of life awaited her?
Character Setting:
Jacob Cagalli
Hot-blooded idiots, desperate activists, also like to bluff
"Star Chaser"
"Inferior students at the Magic College"
Talent points are added incorrectly, and endurance and strength are on the high side
The heroine of this work, the most common setting in hot-blooded anime: at the beginning, ordinary but with a passion, relying on persistence and hard work to pursue dreams.
As a "hot-blooded fool", Ya Ke is still a novice who does not know even the most basic flying magic, but he takes the risk of never accepting defeat, and wants to try everything, because of her personality, she often brings motivation to the people around her. In fact, it is Naruto in the most familiar hot-blooded manga "Naruto" and Luffy in "One Piece", such similar characters.
As the protagonist, she is not only responsible for promoting the main plot, but also selling cute and funny, which is the laughing point of the whole drama! Learning to fly on a broomstick makes people laugh from beginning to end.
Susie Manbabara
"Mushroom Alchemist"; "Mushroom Poison Queen"
Exciting! Listless every day, uninterested in everything but poison.
Invective, in charge of vomit tank.
He likes to use Yake as a test of venom.
Susie is my favorite of all the anime characters of the season.
Comes to the Academy of Magic in order to get poison, and is good at using poison (where are the protagonists of the hot-blooded manga who like to be poisoned?). ）。 In the theatrical version, the scum of the Minotaur is poisoned in a very simple and brutal way.
Judging from her performance in class, it should be hidden personal strength, in the "playing pig to eat tiger", there should be a role in the later stage to play a full force to save the world.
At the broom flying competition, Susie, who was full of scheming, even used a sinister move to hinder the other contestants, which made people sigh, "This is the villain!" Although Susie has a bad face when she uses poison, this role can't be hated and is attracted to this bad image.
Lottie Janssen
Ordinary, gentle, unremarkable, likes to sing.
The glue of the team, also serves as a spit.
"Elf Messenger" + "Silent Warlock"
Mediocre grades, do not like to be in the limelight, do things a little fearful, Lottie's personality setting, for the main character Ya Ke played a great role. The first three episodes are significantly less dramatic and not as popular as Jacob and Susie, but this obscure character is also an indispensable member of the protagonist team.
Diana Cavendish
Proud Miss
Justice, strict self-discipline
Wife-guarding demon
There is often a setting of "mindless and unhappy" in anime, and the "unhappiness" in this anime is Diana.
Diana is a typical "nemesis" type of character, this kind of role has outstanding early achievements, often can become the protagonist's desire to surpass the target, but also to teach the protagonist a lot of life experience. Saying that she despises Jacob actually gives her a lot of help, and she can always help her at key moments.
From the ova and the theatrical version, it can be seen that the fuse that triggers the plot many times is the secret struggle between Yako and Diana.
The characters of the supporting cast are also very interesting:
There are thieves who are extremely flexible, there are technical houses that like to invent and change magic, there are foodies who always keep smiling and eating non-stop, and there are teachers who hide "black history". (I must be looking at a fake witch)

Brief comment on:
Supervision is known as Ji Chengyao, who has painted Evangelion in the new century, and under his supervision, the standard of painting and storyboarding of the work is absolutely not to worry. Although I don't know much about animation, I can intuitively feel an excellent viewing experience, the expressions of the characters are rich, the movements are smooth, the painting is infectious, and the feeling is as refreshing as KILL la KILL to the extreme.
The main plot is relatively simple overall, and the focus is basically on the handling of the episode plot and details, but since there is such a clever character, no matter whether the story will advance and develop in the future, it will not become boring (in fact, I have decided to chase this series to the end just for Susie). Looking at the performance of the first few episodes, the development of the story has a strong sense of rhythm, often inadvertently watching an episode, ed sounding and still feeling unfinished.
For me, the anime that can bring this kind of exhilarating pleasure is really a long time gone, I just want to say a good word about the board machine Dafa!
If you want to experience this exciting and funny magic academy story, you must not miss this "Little Witch Academy"!
There is also a theatrical version of the same name and an ova to watch!
(I think even if I am like Amway, there will still be people who will resist the name of this movie, and everyone should not miss an anime because of the title, think of the "Magical Girl Circle" of that year)
We'll see you next time!
