Magic has been a fascination for humans for centuries. It holds the power to captivate and mystify people, making them believe in the impossible. Glamorizing magic takes this enchantment to another level. To glamorize magic means to enhance its charm and allure, turning it into a spectacle that leaves viewers spellbound. This can be achieved through various means, such as adding elaborate costumes, dazzling stage effects, and mesmerizing illusions. The purpose of glamorizing magic is to create a visually stunning experience that transports the audience into a world of wonder and disbelief.
Smart devices designed to interact with and control the different magitronic devices. Croix can cast spells through them and uses them to teach her students during her time as Modern Magic Teacher.
That is why I am probing the hearts of people around the world anger, hatred, sadness, jealousy, fear, anxiety I want to completely absorb all of those emotions. However, whereas Diana starts as a rival to Akko but develops a friendship with her over time, and her intention to gain Shiny Rod was for a noble cause; Croix starts as a friend but develops a strong envy against Chariot, proceeds to forcefully play her role in her stead by bypassing the traditional ways of opening the Grand Triskelion, and just wanted to be the world s greatest witch.
The purpose of glamorizing magic is to create a visually stunning experience that transports the audience into a world of wonder and disbelief. One way to glamorize magic is through the use of stunning costumes. The magician's attire can set the tone and create an aura of mystique.
Little Witch Academia and “a big bad” (or lack thereof)
Naturally, this is paraphrased. Yet a common complaint of the first half of Little Witch Academia‘s television run was that there was no true antagonist. Akko Kagari wasn’t improving fast enough in her magic. Watching her fail episode after episode was becoming tedious. Diana Cavendish wasn’t Akko’s adversary as much as she was her rival. Even then it was a one-sided rivalry. Akko failed most of the time while Diana continued to garner acclaim from her peers and teachers alike.
Episode 13 marked the end of the series’ first half and the end of Akko’s complete failure. With her magic at the Samhain Festival, Akko stepped up and became the witch who impressed her peers and teachers alike. Even the visiting alumni were dazzled.
The series has now entered its second half and a presumed “big bad” — at the very least, a true antagonist — has appeared: Professor Croix.
Yet, I maintain that she too is not a true antagonist. And that Little Witch Academia doesn’t need a big bad to be compelling.
The stakes of Little Witch Academia are high, but difficult to easily define.
Magic — which can stand for anime, animation, or art, among other things — is dying.
What once was a glorious and respected art has neutered itself over the years, becoming obsolete. It’s an object of ridicule to those outside the walls of Luna Nova, drudgery to most inside it. The backdrop of every Little Witch Academia episode is one of an archaic world well in its twilight era.
Like most large-scale problems, different people within the world of Little Witch Academia have varying ideas of how to best carry on the tradition of magic. The most toxic of these is the attitude of Professor Finnelan.
Professor Finnelan is necessary to the narrative but thoroughly unlikeable and unsympathetic due to her role. At every turn she values discipline, order, and appearance over actively nurturing talent. She’s the type of teacher who would turn away a student that genuinely wanted to learn if they didn’t look the part and has shown that she will blatantly favor students who meet her specific qualifications. Witches like Finnelan are feverishly grasping to the old ways of magic, unable to bend the rules one iota even if the passage of time or a specific situation renders those rules obsolete. Little Witch Academia has had no qualms about figuratively pointing at Finnelan and saying, “This is the problem. People like her are the problem.”
Alongside Finnelan there is the staff of Luna Nova, most of whom adhere to the same traditions or are generally incompetent. Headmistress Miranda Holbrooke goes with the flow. For most of the Little Witch Academia this means that she generally follows tradition because that’s what has always been done. Over the course of the series her shortsightedness has cost the school money and resources. In Episode 14, she is immediately enchanted by Professor Croix’s modern magic and brandishes her new magic tablet in Professor Ursula’s face by the end of the episode. Headmistress Holbrooke is kind-hearted — and voices support for Akko despite the troubles she causes — but incompetent. The rest of Holbrooke’s staff aren’t much better.
Episode 14 also introduces would-be villain Croix. We don’t know her precise goals yet — they could be as abstract as advancing magic by any means possible to destroying Luna Nova entirely — but she represents modern magic, or the fusion of magic and modern technology.
Croix is also presented in opposition Chariot. The two know each other, presumably from their own time at Luna Nova, and are pitting against each other visually in the opening, like Diana and Akko. This points to the two being foils not necessarily enemies.
Thus far, Croix is painted in a harsh light. She is manipulative and uses her skill to effectively trick the Luna Nova staff into implementing her system of magical robots. Yet, it’s difficult to imagine Little Witch Academia using the character of Croix to denigrate techonology. Finnelan is still a far worse adversary for magic than Croix — clinging to tradition while ignoring possibility.
Little Witch Academia‘s most celebrated character is that of Shiny Chariot. Chariot was not naturally talented but remarkably passionate. All she needed was hard work and dedication to get her to where she wanted to be. Although Chariot has been discarded by the magical world, she affected multitudes of people with her showmanship. She brought the figurative magic to literal witches’ magic.
Now Akko looks to follow a similar path.
Akko was always a stand-in for a young animator who underestimated how much hard work, practice, and yes, dull repetition, transforms a person with raw passion into the best in their field. In the words of Yoh Yoshinari, “Akko’s like someone who joined the industry out of passion but without actual technique, so she can’t draw clean lines for in-betweens. Yet she has that egocentric confidence about being able to draw good key frames despite that.”
Solving the problem of magic dying isn’t something that can be accomplished by one person alone. Magic cannot be saved with an attitude like Finnelan’s, nor the wishy-washy agreeable nature of Holbrooke, nor solely relying on technology like Croix. Like any art, learning tradition is important but not everything. Using new techniques or technology isn’t everything.
Even passion isn’t everything.
No one thing will save magic. Both tradition and innovation are important. They shouldn’t oppose each other. Rather, they should support each other with passion driving a person forward. Little Witch Academia isn’t finally getting to the plot, that same plot has always been the backdrop. With Croix, the series gives us not a big bad, but another viewpoint to add to the larger picture.
What once was a glorious and respected art has neutered itself over the years, becoming obsolete. It’s an object of ridicule to those outside the walls of Luna Nova, drudgery to most inside it. The backdrop of every Little Witch Academia episode is one of an archaic world well in its twilight era.
Glittering robes, sparkling accessories, and intricate details add a touch of glamour to the performance. Similarly, the magician's assistant can be dressed in elegant and alluring outfits that enhance the visual appeal. Another aspect of glamorizing magic is the use of elaborate stage effects. Utilizing advanced technology, magicians can create breathtaking illusions that seem impossible to the naked eye. This can include disappearing acts, levitation, and mind-boggling transformations. The combination of dazzling lights, smoke, and special effects adds to the glamour and grandeur of the performance. Furthermore, the presentation style of the magician plays a crucial role in glamorizing magic. The skillful manipulation of props and the smooth execution of tricks can elevate the overall spectacle. Magicians often incorporate storytelling and theatrical elements into their acts, creating a sense of drama and intrigue. Glamorizing magic also involves creating a sense of anticipation and surprise. Magicians often build up suspense, leading the audience to believe they know what will happen next, only to completely astonish them with an unexpected twist. This element of wonder and unpredictability further enhances the magical experience. In recent years, magic has gained popularity through various entertainment platforms, such as television shows and live performances. Magicians like David Copperfield and Criss Angel have successfully glamorized magic on the big stage, blending creativity, showmanship, and technical expertise to create unforgettable experiences. In conclusion, glamorizing magic is about transforming a simple act of illusion into a visually stunning and captivating performance. Through the use of elaborate costumes, stage effects, storytelling, and surprising twists, magicians can enchant and mesmerize their audiences. Glamorizing magic takes the art form to new heights, leaving spectators in awe and making them believe in the extraordinary..
