Three shows if we want to do Little Witch Academia.

granblue
LWA
alice

Where's Jan?

haihai

hold butts

nvm going on plane

>>152625
give me like 5 min

Does Jan watch all three of these?

Yes.

ok i'm ready

okay
let's start with alice

i'm trying to summon ika
oh look there he is
okay
lets start

Ready.

okay

ok

This series gets kids pretty well.
Like. last episode they were so gung-ho about running away and living on the lam.
And by now they're both back home.
Kids are kind of short-sighted like that.

Kagami o kagami

mounee-sama

They even ehhhhh in sync.

sana is so cute

What an adorable little brat.

>>152654
>Oh goodness, look at the time!

There's the mosha-mosha again.

The old policeman guy is pretty clever.

And down the rabbit hole, Alice fell.

Oh fuck she really is the Red Queen.

that was a cool trap

i'm going to kill you for being a meanie

I like the return of the Wonderland references.

Granblue!
okay
let's start!

granboob
>>152674
it doesnt look th at bad doe sit

Gland Dude

gran blew the animation budget

>>152672
it looks really good when it matters

The biggest issue I have with the GranBlue story is that the main villains are just so...cheesy.
They're pretty much even less complex than Disney villains.

>tfw someone shows you a pretty stone and you start to VLC

Oh that lasted about as long as I thought it would.

Yeah, we all knew the hairpin wasn't going to last long.

BOOT TO THE HEAD

Look at this shot with the whole party assembled.
How picture perfect.

>>152681
well i wouldn't call it perfect

>>152682
They're missing someone, too!

>>152682
Poor Katalina.

That was more a snark at the composition of the shot than its actual quality though.

>>152684
katawho
i thought you were just talking about the whole party, gran, rackham, and eugen

Brutal.

If they can kinda resolve stuff this episode we may get to see Vira.

Well if they're rolling Rosetta into the story like this, then there's a good chance they're just gonna do a flyover of her island.
So yeah, Albion might be the finale.

i like gran's hoodie sweater thingy

It's nice, but its continued existence means we probably won't see any of the more stylish class outfits.

DJ cameo where

She's dead, Jim.

>mom and dad fighting over your unconscious body

Even if you accept that Vryn is a dragon, he's such a weird looking thing.

people call Rosetta "JK"
cause of the granblue shorts

vryn is clearly a digimon

>>152696
Well she's like Rika and insists she's a joushi koukousei, right?

>>152697
And you know what Digimon do, right?
They fucking DIGIVOLVE.

Eugen's replacement seiyuu doesn't have the same spryness to his voice.
It's not as nice.

Looks like they're going to do some more crap on this next episode.
Chances of Vira are low now.

>>152699
just wait until you see metal werevryn

The sky parade is calling~

i wish they made gran more of an edgelord since he's dark-type

okay
last up is LWA

okay
everyone was orange!

>>152704
From what we get of his personality in the game--sparing as it is, he's pretty cheery and happy-go-lucky.
Would probably be a bit of a dissonance for the fans.

>>152707
Yeah. we're on episode twenty-two.

>>152707
A lot of the Dark-element characters aren't really moody or edgelords though.
Darkness isn't necessarily evil it's just the opposing force to Light.

this is 22 right
>>152706
i guess so but it just doesn't feel right for such a nice guy to use the power of DARKNESS
>>152706
that doesn't even make sense anyways
darkness is just the absence of light

dorkness

>>152707
And cold is just the absence of heat but you see people place them in opposing forces all the time too.

>>152709
i also don't think that makes sense either to be fair

I mean it does make more sense than the light/darkness match-up.
A sufficiently hot entity can make a cold entity entirely irrelevant and vice versa.
But light and darkness work under different rules.

>>152711
it's more of a transfer of energy in that case i guess
darkness shouldn't exist as an element

How amusingly stereotypical, that one of the climaxing points of this series revolves around a football score.

MIISU KARAGI

>andoru thinking about his gf

>>152712
The existence of the light/darkness duality, especially in JRPGs, is strongly rooted in Japanese mythology.
It isn't really as closely tied to physical and more tangible concepts like the other elements in games are.
Which I personally think is why it's pretty common to see light/darkness put on a different pedestal entirely from the other elements.

I wonder if she can use magic
I bet she cant and itll be a dramatic reveal

>>152717
she totally can't

That's to be expected.
What's more important is if Akko can still use magic.

;_;

>>152719
it'd be a bad plot if both of them lost their magic

I don't think either of them have lost their magic.

We saw Ursula reach for a broom and pull back.
It's not like she can't ride a broom without going Full Chariot; that sort of thing the normal Ursula should be able to do.
The fact that she avoided trying in front of Diana speaks volume.

What a tsundeer.

He's a bit like a male Rin really.

ANDORU

they're such a good pair

Oh he's still got her hat.

how come nobody notices the square thingies

It's magic, don't gotta explain SHIT.

She fattened them up like pigs for SLAUGHTER.

Asenshi likes to do little tricks with their sub text.

Y'know, she's kind of like some kind of evil start-up app developer.

>i'm gathering emotions from around the world and harvesting money from it

Holla holla get dolla, yo.

Looks like she still has her magic.

the cat is out of the bag

Ursula looks so much better in Full Chariot.
She should really just stick to it.

Oh FUCK the scar on the moon is actually a plot device.

That doesn't entirely make sense though.
Diana went to see Chariot's show in the past and she's practically god-tier with her magic.

>>152741
maybe it only absorbs certain kinds of magic

But c'mon then what's up with the moon.
You mention like it's some big thing and then you just ignore talking about it.

its weird

akko can still transform too and use magic
just not fly

Well her magic isn't all that good to begin with.
Like her aptitude in pretty much everything is as low as it can get.
She's only good at transformation magic because she try-harded and focused in on it.

Im guessing she had to use the power of people to kill some evil last boss on the moon

I think she was trying to build up magic and probably throw it all in to the Sorcerer's Stone in one go.
But the power was too much to handle and she shot it off at the moon by accident.

she probs just wanted to get goku to go back to normal

This is a good climax.

I still smell something fishy with their whole story.
Maybe Chariot and Croix don't understand the whole picture either.

wait
Diana did lose her magic didnt she
when she was a kid
she regained it back somehow over the years though

Was that mentioned?

in the diana arc
she was a loser who couldnt user magic
use*

oh yeah
she try harded until she got good

Hm, I see.
I wonder what the knack is then.

maybe thats why akkos is slowly improving
shes doing what diana did

I think it's safe to assume Akko was trying to be a witch her entire childhood though, after watching Chariot's show.

yeah but akko didn't even know what magic actually was, diana did

Diana had access to much better resources since she wasn't a normie like Akko.

>>152758
she sucked at trying

I wonder if Diana was able to deduct that Chariot was the reason she was bad at magic
I doubt it

>>152761
She can't be the only person who sucked at trying who saw Chariot's show as a kid though.
It's been mentioned before Chariot was a pretty huge fad during that time; a lot of fledgling witches would have probably gone to see her show.
Why is Akko the only one who's so abysmally bad?

I think lots more are as bad or worse than Akko
theres been mention of the decline of mages at the school right
what if its cause they all got their magic stolen by chariot at the show

I think that has to do with the global decline in magic and disinterest in the public in magic with the advent of technology.

And it wouldn't make sense to blame the global decline in magic on Chariot too since the whole reason she was trying to generate magic was to half -halt the decline in magic.

>halt the decline in magic by stealing magic from people
something doesn't compute

i think chariot tried to open the last gate like croix is doing now with the magic
probably didnt know that it would have a big effect on the people she used it on
and went into hiding cause she was ashamed

Whatever went wrong probably had to do with her inability to get the last word.

I think the reason the show took the most from Akko is because she had the biggest DREAMS of them all.
She generated so much that it took too much from her.

I think ursula is a cutie padoodle

>>152768
i'd imagine it'd take the same amount from all of them

>>152770
Why?

>>152771
because it takes 100% duh

>>152771
cause that sounds dumb

and corny

>>152773
>>152774
Dude this is Trigger.
Dumb and corny is their main act.

>>152775
it sounds a bit much though
LWA is actually pretty serious for them

I don't really agree with that at all.
It's no more serious than other works they've done.

it's way more serious than their other works

I mean you can repeat your argument all you want but you're not convincing me without explaining yourself.

there aren't any retarded gimmicks to the show
it stands on its own feet purely on the virtue of its characters and writing

there aren't any ridiculous tricks or inexplicable plot twists so far either

It's a show where people wave shiny rods and magically do the impossible.
They turn into fish and can suddenly flawlessly communicate with aquatic creatures.
Magic is by itself a gimmick.

And the latter half of that post isn't even relevant to something being serious at all.

i thought this show was overrated as heck at the start but i like it lots now

>>152782
you're clearly misunderstanding what I mean by a serious show

I don't mean it's edgy and realistic

A serious show isn't inherently edgy either.
Or even have to be realistic.

>>152786
I'm glad you understand that LWA is the only serious show trigger has produced

But that doesn't change the fact the Little Witch Academia is not a serious show.
It leans heavily on having fun and not caring for keeping within internalized reason and restraint because it's a show that's meant to be frivolous and magical.

you can have fun in a serious show

when has the show failed to keep in line with its internal reasoning

Jan listen sorry I'm gonna be a cunt but I need to go to bed.
I can't pick fights at this time of night that go on for hours and hours.

ok good night buddy
