Little Witch Academia (2017 series): Difference between revisions

** Happens quite often in "Akko's Adventures in Sucyworld" in the [[Retraux]] film playing inside Sucy's mind. The most notable example is a callback to the scene where Akko first meets Sucy, where the art becomes much more detailed for two shots. There are no animated components, only objects moving around and parallax scrolling, contrasting the shots before and after them.

* [[Back from the Dead]]: In episode nine, Akko accidentally casts a resurrection spell. She was meant to mend a grave, but her mending potion was mixed with Sucy's mushrooms, resurrecting a corpse who desperately began looking for revenge on a man.

* [[Blank White Eyes]]: In episode eight, Akko gets them while being knocked by Lotte's wand to be sent into Sucy's mind.

* [[Book Ends]]: Episode five begins with Amanda and Akko fighting over who is the biggest try-hard in Luna Nova. Episode five ends with Amanda and Akko fighting over who is the biggest try-hard in Luna Nova.

* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: Akko initially finds her stuff lying on the ground, guarded by a human-eating mandrake. That flower is used later on in the episode to attack the gigantic cockarice attacking the cast.

* [[Children Are Innocent]]: Akko is depicted as innocent in her childhood flashbacks.

* [[Crash Into Hello]]: How Akko and Sucy meet.

* [[Dream Sequence]]: Opens the second episode.

* [[Long Runners]]: In universe with ''Night Fall'', where the 365th novel was released in episode four. The series continued for 120 years.

* [[Look Ma, No Plane]]: In episode three, when Akko flies past an airplane after getting on a broomstick she can't control very well.

* [[Love Triangle]]: One is present in the ''Night Fall'' [[Show Within a Show|book series within the show]].

* [[Magic Kiss]]: [[Parodied]]. In episode eight, Sucy is asleep. Akko performs a [[Journey to the Center of the Mind]] and locates the sleeping Sucy within the sleeping Sucy. She drinks all the antidotes Lotte gave her, and is about to feed them to Sucy via a magical kiss. Well, that ''was'' the plan until Sucy wakes up at the last minute and pushes Akko aside.

* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Diana casts a family-secret revitalization spell in the second episode, to bring more life to the Memorial Tree which is special to Luna Nova. It led to the tree spreading its roots all over the campus. Then the trope occurs ''again'' as she tries to destroy what appear to be parasites on the tree's roots, but turns out to be Papiliodia -- rare butterflies who only hatch once in a hundred years.

* [[No Indoor Voice]]: Akko can only speak by yelling. Nothing else.

* [[Off-Model]]: If a character is small and far from the camera, it's difficult to tell exactly who they are. While it is expected that characters further away will be drawn with less detail, sometimes characters won't be drawn with basic features like eyes at all, making them difficult to tell apart.

* [[One Word Title]]: Episode two is titled "Papiliodia" and episode twenty-three is titled "Yesterday".

* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]: The dragon in episode five makes coffee and makes money trading stocks, apparently. {{spoiler|He's also a [[Loan Shark]] and takes Philosopher's Stones as collateral, for some reason.}}

* [[Overly Long Name]]: In episode seven, we have "Constanze Braunschbank Albrechtsberger", a background character who takes an exam right before Akko.

* [[Recursive Canon]]: In episode eight, there is a number plate with the letters "LWA". Does this mean the characters of Little Witch Academia know they're in Little Witch Academia?

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Sucy as a character is less enthusiastic, and serves as the blue oni counterpart, to Lotte and Akko.

* [[Retraux]]: In "Akko's Adventures in Sucyworld", the film that Akko and all other Sucys watch inside Sucy's mind are in black and white, and animated like older American cartoons than a Japanese series.

* [[The Song Remains the Same]]: The ending and opening songs remain in Japanese even in the English dub.

* [[Speed Stripes]]: Used quite frequently throughout all episodes. It's there to save budget so [[Studio Trigger]] won't make the mistake their ancestors at [[Gainax]] made and run out of money. They do ''not'' want to pull a [[Gainax Ending]].

* [[Talking Is a Free Action]]: When Akko accidentally insults the cockatrice in episode one, there is just enough time for Sucy to explain what she's really done before the bird starts attacking them.

* [[Transformation Sequence]]: [[Parodied]]. In the second episode, Akko has a brief sequence where she changes into formal clothes for the school. It turns out, those were ''not'' the clothes she was supposed to wear for class, and learns that before begrudgingly changing into the correct clothes.

* [[Valley Girl]]: In episode eight, one of the Sucys in Sucyworld is like this, complete with way too much makeup and trendy clothes. {{quote|'''Valley Girl Sucy''': I really want to be a Hollywood celebrity}}
