If you are after a comedy that actually makes you laugh out loud, Little Witch Academia is available in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix right now. The show says what it needs to say in a single season, no filler. 167 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Watch it for Megumi Han — stay for everyone else around them. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Netflix.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Little Witch Academia is worth clearing space for. The jokes in Little Witch Academia land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. When she was a little girl, Atsuko "Akko" Kagari saw a magic show performed by a witch named Shiny Chariot. From that day on she wanted to be just like her. Enrolling at Luna Nova Magical Academy and having no magical background, can she become a witch like her idol Shiny Chariot? The chemistry Megumi Han and Michiyo Murase bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. It first aired in 2017. Little Witch Academia earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. The hit rate here is high enough that skipping ahead never feels like an option.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Little Witch Academia is a strong candidate. Cardcaptor Sakura is the obvious comparison, but Little Witch Academia earns its own place alongside it. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Megumi Han anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
