WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Irishchatter I thought this anime was just adorable. The story goes a girl who wants to be a witch since she was child and gets to go to a witch school. She then meets the two other girls (one weird, one absouletely nerdy lol) going to the same school as her and come across a few monsters that'll leave you crawling with fear. Afterwards they finally arrived at the open ceremony on time and are students of the Witch School. I tell ya, this anime was so cute and really good to watch. I really wish they made this into a series or another short film as a sequel. I really think a 26 minute short is not enough to cover the whole story but I suppose, that depends on what short you are watching at the same time! Definitely recommend watching this to all ages, especially witch lovers!

DCfan I have currently watched about 5 episodes of the series and I discovered this only yesterday and I have to say it is very helpful. I kept on wondering how Akko got Shinny Charotes goldenrod but this little pilot answers my question. On how she got her hands on it.I guess the best scene was the fight with the dragon.There is not really much I can talk about here since this is only a pilot to the actual series. However once when I have completed the whole series and watch the special, I will make a full review.

pinkarray This is the first Trigger anime I watched. I heard of it before, but I was worried to watch it because it had a kid protagonist and usually, kid protagonists are bratty, overly silly, precocious and stereotypical. I thought that Akko was going to be one of the annoying characters but she actually wasn't that annoying, and she carried the story well.Though, the characters don't bring that much new to the table. Akko is an aloof fourteen-year-old girl who has an attitude, and too childish. Don't be like "Oh, it's for a younger audience. I don't care if it's clichéd!" I'd like something original and not just something we've seen a thousand times before.The art was alright, and so was the decent voice acting. The art doesn't deviate too much from other anime.Though, due to the anime being so short, it was a little confusing to watch, I think if it had more development instead of being rushed and showing a clichéd ending where all the girls were flying, it would've been more enjoyable.All in all, this is a cute story, though people over the age of 10 might find this too silly but isn't unwatchable. Not bad, it's nice to find an anime that showed a lot of tension and conflict. The beginning was awesome, though I think parents might be a little concerned about their small children watching this.Rating: 6.7

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Little Witch Academia" is a Japanese anime short film from almost 3 years ago that runs for slightly under 30 minutes. It is about the title character, but also her friends at an academy for teenage witches and we get to watch their interactions with their teachers, but also what happens when a mighty dragon comes into play. I must say I was never blown away by this little movie, but it was still a pretty decent watch from start to finish. The action is interesting and same goes for all the characters. The animation was convincing as well. And finally, there was a good deal of comedy, some of it already came from the random over-the-top reactions of the characters. But there is more than that. To me personally, it was not good enough to really make me want to check out the sequel, at least not immediately. If you truly enjoyed this short film by Yô Yoshinari and writing rookie Masahiko Otsuka, then go for the second film, which is about twice as long. It certainly becomes obvious in their collaboration here that they have a good deal of talent and I recommend the watch.
