The appearance of the animation "Little Witch Academy" was not easy.
This is a TV work derived from the 'future of animation' for 13 years, first thanks to the government's support and planning funds to make a 26-minute ova animation, and then the fans crowdfunded a theatrical version of the movie, and then today's TV version is not easy.
(At the end of the article, there are 8 witches taking a group photo~)
<h1>Little Witch Academy TV Edition</h1>
Warm lines, bright tones, lively plot, this is the charm of hand-drawn animation, each episode is full of warmth in people's hearts, want to watch forever.
Reminiscent of the feeling of watching animation on TV every day in my childhood, it was heartless and carefree, and it was the most precious emotion that our current society lacks.
The melodious music is reminiscent of adventures in the ancient world, and each episode is filled with a variety of fun and imaginative elements, as if you are in the magical age of steampunk.
It is a healing story of dreams, fraternity, and spiritual salvation.
The protagonist Yake is more like a growing us stumbling all the way, but it is also an experience full of joy and laughter, the spirit of never giving up is moving, it is a passion for dreams that can make people shine with beautiful brilliance, "the heart of faith is your magic"!
Also the official Lily cp Diana and Jacob really have love!
<h1>Little Witch Academy</h1>
This film is one of four animated films released by Animemirai in 2013, a 26-minute ova.
Although it is only a short film, the characters are vivid and cute, the story is simple and interesting, the style is wild and uninhibited, and the painting is flowing.
The Quidditch Dragon Fighting Story, riding a broom is indeed the first step for all witches to glory.
Some important content in the later TV version has also been clarified here: Diana's arrogance, Ursula's teacher is Chalio, the Shining Staff, etc.
Of course, compared to the TV version, Diana's arrogance and cuteness, Susie's poison, and Yake's teasing and noisy are a bit exaggerated, but they have a different flavor.
The TV version is more elaborate, but this slightly blurred style is also quite good-looking.
<h1>Little Witch Academy: Magic Parade</h1>
A 50-minute theatrical version. "Animation Future" is the most acclaimed one, the crowdfunding of fans all over the world, ah, this money is worth the money!
The drawing and frame rate and a lot of small details are really top notch, more explosive than the tv version!
The production style is retro, the plot setting is also a bit like Harry Potter, the plot is tight and lively, and there are gorgeous performances similar to the Disney animation song and dance bridge.
Except the plot is more clichéd. Eight magic women set clear painting style pleasing, cute no pressure monster, innocent world view structure, very interesting!
Like the drug expert (mushroom fan) Susie, also like the Geji glasses lady, and the infinite potato little fat girl, the heroine is a little annoying at first, but with the perfect goddess Diana with a face.
<h1>"When Magic Is Born" Little Witch Academy Production Log</h1>
It was surprising to see the production process, and I also found that the production process was also very hard. The animation industry is generating electricity with love!
In addition to admiring the craftsmanship spirit of Japanese animators, there is also the Japanese Ministry of Culture's investment to cultivate excellent animators, and there is an obsession with inheriting hand-drawn animation.
(Sorry I'm reminded of "Lei Feng's Story" again...) ）
The ingenuity of the producers behind the animation is impressive, and the ova has as many as 17,000 pure hand-drawn pieces, and the brushstrokes are as delicate as painting works of art.
It's not just a story, it's the industrial conscience of animation production, a heart that wants to create beautiful things.
The tediousness of the original painting makes the 2D animation slowly die. In order to mass-produce the monotonous and lack of tension of the original painting, the 2D animation became uniform, and it is difficult to see the eye-catching picture.
When you are used to watching the same 3D anime, looking back at the works of Master Miyazaki, you will feel that it is the real animation!
