This short little anime series was a very pleasant surprise. The Harry
Potteresque imagery (and very obvious references) was fun, but the
combination of the magic and technological world, the plotline of the
fading of magic combined with the earnest heroine who can't seem to get
her magic right, and the subverting of expectations (the girl who at
first looks to be the Malfoy turning out to be more of the Hermione, for
instance) all made this series FAR better than I expected.

Highly recommended!

It was a great show. And the game is not bad either.

Little Witch Academia: Chamber of Time

Not a great game mechanically(maybe better if you really like
sidescrollers) but fun if you like the characters.
