Little Witch Academia (リトルウィッチアカデミア Ritoru Witchi Akademia?) is a Japanese anime franchise created by Yoh Yoshinari and produced by Trigger. The original short film, directed by Yoshinari and written by Masahiko Otsuka, was released in theaters on March 2, 2013 as part of the Young Animator Training Project's Anime Mirai 2013 project, and was later streamed with English subtitles on YouTube from April 19, 2013. A second short film partially funded through Kickstarter, Little Witch Academia: The Enchanted Parade, was released on October 9, 2015. A television anime series began airing in Japan on January 9, 2017. Two manga series have been published by Shueisha.
Little Witch Academia takes place at Luna Nova Magical Academy (ルーナノヴァ魔法学校 Rūna Nova Mahō Gakkō?), a prestigious school for young girls training to become witches. Having been inspired by a witch named Shiny Chariot, a girl named Akko Kagari enrolls at Luna Nova Magical Academy to become a witch, but struggles due to her non-magical background. This all changes when she discovers the Shiny Rod, a powerful magic relic left behind by Chariot.
One of the main themes in the franchise is Akko trying to live up to Shiny Chariot's ideals by showing the world that magic is a wonderful thing, while Luna Nova struggles for its continual existence because magic is waning across the world and the general public regards wizardry as outdated. Both the short films and television series follow Akko and her friends, Lotte and Sucy as they experience many magical adventures together.
