I just wanted to go over the first episode of Little Witch Academia (TV) and how perfectly made this show is. The movies came by storm however this is on another level. So far it seems they have discarded the films story wise and restarted from Atsuko first day. They kept some elements such as getting her idols wand/staff. Overall the start to this new series has to be the best I have ever seen. The art style is unique and the divinity of each charter is so outstanding.

"TV version of Little Witch Academia. Episodes 1, 2 and 3 will be previewed at a screening at Cinema Mediage (Tokyo) and Toho Cinames Umeda (Osaka) on December 11, 2016. Regular broadcasting will begin in January, 2017."

Back Story:

The project began with a 2013 anime short that spawned the Little Witch Academia: The Enchanted Paradesequel last year. The staff describes the story:

Akko Kagariis an ordinary girl who joins the renowned witch academy for witch girls, Luna Nova Academy. When she was younger, she went to Magical Festa, a magic show hosted by a witch named Shiny Chariot. Akko was so mesmerized and inspired by Shiny Chariot's performance that she dreamed to someday be a "cool" witch like her. This young and impressionable Akko takes Shiny Chariot's words as her own motto: "Never forget, a believing heart is your magic.“ As part of a class, Akko and her classmates go into a labyrinth under the Tower of Luna Nova. There, a sealed ancient dragon was unleashed by one of her classmates. Akko tries to stop the dragon, but…

Yoh Yoshinari created and directed the first short as part of the Anime Mirai 2013 initiative. Fans supported the second short via a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign that raised US$150,000 in six hours, and eventually US$625,518 (four times its original goal) in one month. The Little Witch Academia: The Enchanted Parade sequel had its world premiere before 4,000 fans in a standing ovation at Anime Expo last July.
