I just saw the second episode. I know it's early yet, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this series is going to be an all-time classic. I love everything about it.

Though I wonder what happened to the broom?

It wasn't a broom. It was some kind of magical critter that was fettered into service. Notice how it sprouts wings and takes off when the metal bits are broken off.

i wish every full-length trigger show was this good

Seriously, can you imagine if, before their first show, someone sat down with them and said "Hey guys, maybe could you not make your debut series revolve around 15 year olds stripping each other naked? And also, could you cut back a little on the parent-child molestation? See, right now your script has it at 'some', but you really, really need to get it back to 'none' in order to not be incredibly creepy."

Kids are really getting into advanced teasing techniques so early these days.



Have any of them even seen a chicken?

I reckon the shiny rod is a source of its own, though I don't have any evidence of that. It doesn't seem common.

That's a plot point in the 2nd OVA. Akko figures out they can use the Shiny Rod as a focus so they'll have power for their magical parade float.

So Akko's been going to magical philosophy class this whole term, just watching everyone stare at the fishbowl and take notes, not even thinking to ask anyone what's going on.

It's a good thing she's taking her academic wake up call seriously.

The saddest thing this episode though is that is legit jossed the fan theory someone posted I really liked about Akko possibly just being really rich and her parents paid for her way in to Luna Nova.

It could still be true that Akko doesn't really understand what "affluence" is compared to an Earl and thinks she's just middle class or whatever but I liked the idea that she was offhandedly loaded.

No way, Akko's character screams plucky working-class underdog. It's way more likely that Luna Nova began to act on their waning enrollment far too late, and by the time they opened their doors to those outside the tradition, the rest of the world had lost interest in magic except for one particular die-hard Shiny Chariot fanatic.

It took me a few minutes to figure out that it says "BOOK".
