Little Witch Academia

TV show · 2017

This bright, 25-episode anime follows Akko, an enthusiastic but magically clumsy girl who enrolls at a witchcraft academy to become like her idol, Shiny Chariot. This report covers the full series. It is largely lighthearted with big heart, though the second half builds toward a more intense villain storyline.

A great pick for kids who love magic-school adventures and can handle occasional fantasy peril and snarling monsters, typically from around age 7 or 8.
