| A couple years back, Studio Trigger gave us a gorgeous anime movie thing about a trio of witches in an academy, learning magic and whatnot. It was nice. Not great, but it was good. I liked the characters, but the main, Akko, can be kind of obnoxious. And now that I've watched Happiness Charge Precure I recognize her voice as being exactly the same as Hime's, so it seems all the more appropriate to me. Trigger's art style is a little awkward, but one of their biggest praises I see given to this work is its very fluid movement. I'm sure anyone who has actually seen Kill la Kill can attest that Trigger does motion well. I'm just glad that Trigger, a group of former Gainax employees, were able to do something without massive jugs flying around or panty shots left and right. My favorite thing about the movie was this, which happens at the veeeeeeeery end. - Spoiler:
And upon rewatching, people spotted this in the opening scene. Anyone who talks to me with any kind of regularity knows that I have a fondness for the tsundere ojou-sama types, Diana fits that bill for sure. I'm hoping the sequel will give her a little more spotlight outside of the "Mean Girls clique" role.
Some time after this was released, a sequel was announced. I think it was a kickstarter project that got funded and became an OVA. Not entirely sure, but it seems to be floating around now on places like Nyaa and tumblr. I'll have to check it out. |

| There is no series. It's a single 26 minute video. You can find it on youtube.
The sequel is a tiny bit less than an hour long, like 53 minutes, and I also see it on youtube. |

| Looks like there will be some manga adaptations coming soon too first, one that will be run in Ribon (Shueisha's Shoujo magazine) by Yuka Fujiwara 2nd, one will run in Ultra Jump (Shueisha's Shonen mag) by Terio Teri, who had previously done a LWA one-shot |
