Little Witch Academia/YMMV


  • Alternate Character Interpretation Sucy. Is she a true friend to Akko? Or does she just like to hang with her so she can mess with her? Diana. If you pay close attention, she is portrayed quite differently in the anime VS how she was in the original first 2 films.
  • Alternate Continuities The original 2 films that started it all VS netflix's 24-episode anime series.
  • Ass Pull Sucy is guilty of this a lot. She can apparently do anything if it involves mushrooms.
  • Come for the X, Stay For the Y Come for the high quality, and fun animation. Stay for that PLUS a surprisingly entertaining story and characters. It is by Studio Trigger after all.
  • Complete Monster Professor Croix, especially when she first shows up. She has a Heel Realization by the end though.
  • Foe Yay See Ho Yay below. There's also this instance in one of the episodes where Akko is trying to revive Sucy from basically a sleeping curse. She puts all sorts of potions and such in her mouth and gets ready to force Sucy to drink them via mouth-to-mouth. Meanwhile, a giant dragon-esque monster formed from the combination of many sides of Sucy's persona sees what's about to happen and hearts appear in its eyes and a smile on its face. Akko goes in for the "kiss", but Sucy immediately wakes up and dodges, and tells her to get away from her. Interpret that how you will, but if you go by earlier events in the episode, it might just be implying Sucy had a kinky side like anyone else.
  • Hijacked by Ganon The finale builds up to a clash with Croix and her machines, but they apparently get out of control and turn on her. Thus we see the witches fight a giant living rage-fueled nuclear missile.
  • Ho Yay One of the episodes centers around the release of a magical bee during someone's party. The bee causes whoever it stings to fall in love with the first person they see. Man, woman, or even a dog, or their reflection in a mirror.
  • Memetic Badass Constance. She builds a magical flying ship that transforms into a magical giant fighting robot... THAT CAN USE THE FAMOUS GIGA DRILL BREAKER!!!!
    • Shiny Chariot counts as one in-universe as well.
  • Similarly Named Works Little Witch Academia and My Hero Academia. Seems there's a lot of "Academia" anime lately.
  • They Changed It, Now It Sucks Some people weren't pleased by some of the key difference between the original Short films and the 24-episode Netflix anime series.
  • Unfortunate Implications Apparently, in their world, men are unable to practice magic like witches. Or if they CAN, they're pretty much never shown doing so. Also, the Witch Hunts are said to have happened in their world. Really think about that when there's a school that's been around for over 1000 years teaching young witches.
  • What Could Have Been There will never be a time when we DON'T wonder what the series would have been like, had they made the netflix anime a continuation of the 2 original films' story rather than rebooting it with a different story direction.
