 The secondary issue is the character of Jasminka. Jasminka barely has much of a character, which means it's odd for her to <mark spoiler>then appear as one of the central characters responsible for saving the world</mark>. She stands out due to having little there. Hannah and Barbara both have more to them than Jasminka does. And this isn't an insurmountable problem, because she was introduced in Enchanted Parade. It's just odd.
+There's a minor issue that occasionally crops up too, where there is a lack of background noise in situations where it would be appropriate. I think the big example is the wasp/bee episode, where there are moments in a //packed party// where nobody is making any noise whatsoever. I find that to be really odd.

 Character-wise, everyone else is mostly the same. I don't think the other characters are any different.
-I consider these two a fun side-story, though after re-watching them both...I would actually hesitate to put these on the same level as LWA. They're fun, but...I don't know. It's possible I'm just not in the mood to quite enjoy these though.
+The city near Luna Nova is also quite different. I'd compare the cityscape more to...well, it reminds me of Italy, rather than Britain. That might just be a me thing. The TV anime's cityscape looks more British/English.
+Enchanted Parade also has this odd issue where there is often a complete lack of background music, or noise. There was a similar issue in LWA, sometimes, but it was much rarer. In fact, I forgot about it until just now. It makes some scenes feel really weird.
+I consider these two a fun side-story, though after re-watching them both...I would actually hesitate to put these on the same level as LWA. They're still fun to watch, but I wouldn't call them “necessary viewing”.

 ==== Comparison to Harry Potter ====
-Since I've recently re-watched the Harry Potter films, and started reading the books, //and// I've re-watched all of LWA, I guess I'll re-write this section. Soon, not right now.
 Little Witch Academia has a few similarities with <cite>[[lb:Harry Potter]]</cite>. In fact, when I noticed, I couldn't un-notice.
 What do I mean? Well...
-<cite>Little Witch Academia</cite>/<cite>Harry Potter</cite> follows an outsider to the magical world entering a school for magic.

+Little Witch Academia/Harry Potter follows an outsider to the magical world entering a school for magic. This outsider has unbridled and innocent wonder towards magic, whilst their attitude towards taking actual lessons in magic is not quite as enthusiastic.
-It's weird, isn't it? I'm gonna stop there, but you can probably compare the two further.\\  Of course, let's make something clear...<cite>Little Witch Academia</cite> is //much better// than <cite>Harry Potter</cite>, though the comparison isn't fully fair, since it's not like they're trying to do the same thing. I might make a more in-depth comparison in the future...if I ever re-read <cite>Harry Potter</cite>.
+This outsider looks up to a teacher/professor within the school who takes them under their wing and guides them. This teacher/professor is aware of the fact this outsider is a member of a magical prophecy, and knows considerably more than they tell them.
+The outsider also has two close friends who they stick to within the school at nearly all times. They have a rival with their own two friends, though //those// two are not nearly as important. That rival is a magical world insider, from a posh and rich family of magical users.
+The outsider is largely associated with the color red, while the rival is associated with the color green.

+The similarities are uncanny, aren't they? I'm going to stop here, but there are probably more similarities than I've noticed.
