DrSunshine posted:It seems like it's got everything! I wonder how odd it must be to start at the beginning of the novel, though? If it started 120 years ago, they'd have been in a Victorian-era setting to start with and then progress to the modern day as each new successor took the pen. The whole series starts with Belle falling through a portal to the past, so it wasn't a contemporary setting to being with. Also, I just realized the series is written at a rate of 3 books / year, which is STUPID FAST.

I wonder if it's like Tintin and a bunch of the old ones are rare and out of print due to racism.

Daedalus1134 posted:GreatBen810 having the cosplay clock hands at 7:15 is blasphemy Well, maybe to the plebeians who didn't read volume 211. There, it was a bit of a plot point that the hands pointed to 7:15 at 8:10. But oh, no. My mistake. It's easy to forget a minor thing like that. It's just how Belle recognized the quaint village she'd spent the last six months hiding in had been an interrogation camp for former British Intelligence agents. Not like it mattered, or set up an eight volume arc.

DrSunshine posted:I like that all the details make it clear that they're in an English-speaking setting. Someone on staff must speak English pretty well, because all the lines of not-Twilight and Lotte's witchy IM were all in pretty standard English. (nsfw in current first tweet's link) Also, here's a good essay about the show and lowbrow influences: https://formeinfullbloom.wordpress.com/2017/01/30/indulging-our-lowbrow-influences-little-witch-academia/

Malloc Voidstar posted:https://twitter.com/Trigger_Tattun does the show's English text translating. This is what I really liked about the episode. In any other show the novels written by the magic pen would be MASTERPIECES. Instead, it just insures that there's always a place in the world for mediocre YA books that nonetheless serve to inspire budding literature and writing enthusiasts.

To be fair to Lotte, I would also read Twilight if it included games of nuclear catch.

Hidingo Kojimba posted:It's hilarious to watch Akko's reaction to someone else fangirling over something she's pretty neutral towards. Also yeah, Lotte focused episode is nice. Agreed. It was really fun seeing the shoe on the other foot for once. Now all we need is Sucy to go bonkers over something.

DrSunshine posted:Oh neat! A good read. Lotte's last name is probably a reference to Tove Jansson, the creator of Moomin. Also, this episode pretty much confirms that Lotte is a part of the same minority as Tove Jansson, the Swedish speaking Finns, since the restaurant from her flashback used the Swedish spelling of the Finnish city Turku(Åbo).
