it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I found this title on Netflix, one evening while browsing through their animated section. The synopsis seemed adequate, and I thought it might be a nice introduction to the "Little Witch Academia" franchise and not having to sit through an entire series.It turns out that "Little Witch Academia: The Enchanted Parade" (aka "Ritoru wicchi akademia: Mahoujihikake no parêdo") was adequate entertainment, although a bit on the more childish side.The drawing style was a bit too simplistic for my taste. So I didn't fully enjoy that aspect of the animation.I watched it with the original Japanese language track, which is the one and only way to experience foreign movies and animations. I am quite sure that if it was dubbed, it would have made the experience suffer, as dubbing usually tend to drag a movie downwards.I haven't watched the series so I was not familiar with the characters in the movie. And I haven't particularly been spurred to go and watch the series after having watched this mediocre animated movie.

This is honestly a really good movie if you enjoy the Little Witch Academia anime like I do.Akko (Erica Mendez) causes trouble in her class and as a punishment she and her friends are assigned to set up the festival. But when Akko falls out with two of her best friends then things end up going differently. I am not going to spoil any more.Again I will talk about the series in more detail once when I have finished the final 5 episode of the anime. But I am unsure where does this movie tie in terms of the series but I know for sure it took place before Akko and Diana become friends after episode 20 of the anime.Anyways if you enjoy the anime you will surely enjoy this movie.
