Little Witch Academia (TV) high session 1

Episode 01 - Starting Over

Wow this is amazing... right from the opening scene you get this magical feel where this little girl is amazed and inspired by a great witch who is putting on a performance advertising for new students at the witch academy. Then you see her a bit more grown up, heading to that academy's opening ceremony and is super excited... but she can't find the bus that goes there. The bus stop is actually a ley line stop, where witches can get a ride on their brooms to the school with the help of a magical ley line. The main girl meets a few other girls that are on their way to school, but they shun her because she doesn't even know how to fly a broom. One of them is this quiet girl who's always reading something and doing spells to get the annoying girl out of her way... Then she meets some kind nerdy girl who is running late, and she offers to give the main girl a ride... but then the ride goes out of control because the main girl is carrying a packet of salty treats with her, and they crash into the quiet girl and they all fall into the forbidden forest.

The quiet girl wanted to come to this forbidden forest all along, but the other 2 want to get to the ceremony... The quiet girl chants a spell to make a giant chicken appear, and uses these 2 as bait so that she can steal a feather from this chicken... Then the chicken starts attacking and breathing fire at the 2 of them... The principal (I think the same witch from the opening) notices some students fell in the forest, and goes to help them... The main girl finds a magic rod, and she recognizes it as the same rod she saw from the opening when she was younger... The principal shows up as the 3 of them are falling to their doom, and she sees that the main girl has that rod, and tells her to chant a spell that warps them directly to the ceremony.. the 3 of them end up as roommates.

2/19/2017 - This is where I got really high and watched up to ep5.

Episode 02 - Papiliodia

Shiny Chariot... that's what that witch at the opening was called.

Professor Ursula is the one who saved Atsuko Kagari and the other main girls in the 1st ep... She's yelled at by the other elder professor witches to be more formal and stuff.

The smart girl comes and talks to Akko-chan during lunch, tells her that nobody at this school thinks highly of Chariot... Atsuko has a weird plant ahoge on her head or something from an accident during lab class.

Chariot just uses flashy magic that is just for show... it's been nearly 10 years since she stopped doing shows and disappeared. Atsuko then makes a fool of herself trying to prove her belief in Chariot, failing to do a spell with the shiny rod.

The other students agree with Diana that becoming a witch takes a lot more than just following a performer... and they boast about how privileged and elite she is.

Atsuko really feels bad about Chariot being disrespected so much...

A believing heart is your magic

The one card she was never able to get...
Atsuko shows her card collection to the quiet girl and the nerdy girl...
Papiliodia - A butterfly that spans five continents and emerges once every 120 years... it's said to bring hope to the people who see it.

Meanwhile, the professors are gathered around some sacred tree, wondering about why it has been getting weaker... Diana comes in too... this is "Jennifer's memorial tree"
Professor Ursula is researching this tree's illness, and thinks she has a lead, and says that "the miracle is coming".
I bet that's why she is interested in this girl that landed in the forbidden forest and found the shiny rod...

Atsuko jumps in and tries to stop Diana from destroying the pests that are draining the memorial tree, cuz she thinks they might not be pests...

These are Papiliodia crysalises... the butterfly that only appears once every 120 years, and brings hope to those who see it.

The shiny rod starts glowing... the nerdy girl (Lotte Janson) suggests Akko try saying the spell on the Papiliodia card...

omg this is amazing...

Diana is about to tell the professors that Atsuko is the one that healed the memorial tree... but she doesn't because they wouldn't believe her... she's now in the same situation as the other 3 main girls because she's seen the shiny rod's miracle magic with her own eyes.

Episode 03 - Don't Stop Me Now

Ursula introduces herself to Atsuko, as the astronomy teacher.

New lore... the philosopher's stone that's inside the Luna Nova statue that she was trying to move last episode... That's what allows witches around here to use magic to the best of their abilities...

Atsuko fails to even learn how to fly during her first flying class and gets laughed at... Then Ursula gives her an elementary level book on flying. She then gets even more pumped and wants to win the upcoming broom relay race... She even signs up her and Sucy (the quiet weird mushroom-obsessed girl) for the race. Sucy suddenly wants to win as well when she sees that the winner gets a prize from one of the oldest witch professors.

Sucy cheats and sets up a bunch of traps for the other racers, and tells Lotte to just race normally and assures her they'll win.

Meanwhile, another student, one who overheard Atsuko talking to the shopkeeper about that dangerous sealed broom that goes faster than a jet, and it keeps going on forever even after its owner falls off of it... She goes and unseals that broom so she can use it in the race.. it goes berserk and flies free... Then while Atsuko is slowly heading towards the end of the race on a broom-hopping potion, the cursed broom flies by her and she grabs onto it and flies it instead.

She then flies out of control and starts going across the ocean when she falls off.. Diana manages to save her.

lmao holy shit... Atsuko refuses to give up, and she shoots herself out of a cannon (one of the things Sucy did to try and train her to fly), and lands on the rocketing broom somehow... then it turns into a really close race between her and Diana..

Atsuko starts losing her grip on her broom.. or no she's clinging to the chain part, but the chain is losing it's grip on the broom... The broom breaks free of its seal and turns into a bird shape.

Episode 04 - Night Fall

Lotte wants to get out of detention because the town is having a convention for her favorite book series, Nightfall.. Atsuko helps her skip.. Lotte wins a trivia contest and gets a gift from Annabel... She gives Lotte her pen as a gift, and tells her

Nightfall's author isn't one person. I am the 12th Annabel. If you take this pen, you'll become the 13th. If you don't write, your beloved Nightfall will end.

Sucy suggests that since this fountain pen is so old, Lotte should be able to talk to the spirit in it... She has that ability to communicate with the spirits of tools.

She finds out that the current Annabel is depressed because of most of the internet not liking her... Atsuko suggests that Lotte should go to where Annabel is and tell her how much she means to her to get her confidence back up...

The feels in this episode... this is too good.

Episode 05 - Luna Nova and the White Dragon
This episode is both really interesting and hilarious.

Atsuko and her rival, Amanda, both get in trouble... and then while doing chores as punishment they see some dragons steal the philosopher's stone from the school... They skip their punishment to go and help get it back, against everyone's orders... The main dragon guy behind all this is a rich capitalist, and is forcing the school into never-ending debt... Atsuko argues with him, and then Diana comes up and brings the original agreement of the school's debt to the dragons, and shows that there was never any interest and the dragons have been scamming them the whole time...

Amanda and her cronies/friends joined Atsuko and the others in their delinquent group that spends a lot of time in detention together.
