Akko's story will appeal to viewers with a soft spot for underdogs. She's eager and hard-working, but even that isn't always enough to bring her up to snuff with her magically superior classmates. What she does have is an unwavering belief in herself and a role model who inspires her to reach for the stars. And with her best friends Lotte (Stephanie Sheh) and Sucy (Rachelle Heger) by her side, Akko slowly comes to discover her inner witch.

With its story set in a boarding school, Little Witch Academia has its fair share of tween drama, especially when Akko's arrogant classmate Diana (Laura Post) is in the mix. But there also are decent examples of friendship, reminders of the value of holding tight to your dreams, and the recurring theme that believing in yourself is the greatest power of all.
