Little Witch Academia Episode 22-25 Screening Event (June 23, 2017)
At the monthly screening event, which included the final episode (25), Director Yoshinari reportedly gave quite a bit of critical feedback to Character Designer Handa, so Handa seemed a bit tired throughout. However, we got to hear some interesting stories, so I'll share a few highlights.
Why was Akko, who couldn’t use magic at all, able to enroll at Luna Nova?
It turns out that Luna Nova, which attracts students from all over the world, has a quota system by country. Because there wasn’t much interest in magic in Japan, Akko was the only applicant from Japan and thus was able to enroll. Surprising, right? By the way, Diana is from the UK and could have gotten in through a backdoor due to her family’s status, but it seems she got in on her own merit because she’s so talented.
The school has a six-year system combining middle and high school, and it’s set that Akko transferred during her high school years.
As for why Akko can’t ride a broom, or rather the burden that Chariot carries, this wasn’t something that was decided back during the Anime Mirai project. The setting was developed during discussions for the TV series scenario. It’s not something like destroying the world, but it’s a tricky line to walk since it could be a big problem depending on the person.
Regarding Akko and Andrew’s relationship
Director Yoshinari initially wanted to start with Akko falling in love at first sight with Andrew and confessing to him. But Producer Tsutsumi opposed this, arguing that it would shift Akko’s goal from aiming to be like Shiny Chariot to seeking Andrew’s approval. So, the relationship settled into what we see now. Still, don’t you think they might end up together eventually? There’s a line in the Blu-ray commercial that hints at it, and I hope they do end up together. But it seems like Frank and Lotte might progress faster.
As for future developments, only the game and soundtrack were mentioned, with no announcements at this time. There might be an additional OVA like with Kill la Kill, but since the final episode hasn’t aired yet, any announcements would likely come afterward.

Handa-san was tired from start to finish, but I heard a lot of interesting stories, so I'll cut them out here. It turns out that
Luna Nova
has a quota for each country, and Japan is also allocated one, and it turns out that witches were able to enter without any problems.
By the way, Diana is in the British quota, but since it's a prestigious school, backdoor admission is also possible lol. Well, it seems that she was too talented, so she entered normally.
The school is a six-year system with middle and high school in the same school, and
it was very difficult to draw the line between what A and O carried.
Director Yoshinari also wanted to start the relationship between Akko and Andrew with Akko falling in love with Andrew at first sight and confessing her feelings, but Tsutsumi-san opposed it, saying that if that was the case, Akko's goal would be to be recognized by Andrew, not Chario, so they settled on their current relationship.
There's a similar line in the Blu-ray commercial, so I'd like them to get together.
However, Frank and Lotte seem to be progressing faster.
By the way, there are no announcements about future developments at this point, except for talk of a game and a soundtrack.
There is a possibility that an OVA will be added to the Blu-ray disc like Kill la Kill, but the final episode has not yet aired, so if anything happens, it will probably be after the broadcast.
