AnimeChrono watch orders put every season, movie, OVA, ONA and special in chronological story order, mark optional entries, say where to start, and are maintained by signed-in fans with versioned edits that can be reverted (3 entries in this order).

The Little Witch Academia watch order is short, and release order works best. Start with the original Little Witch Academia (2013), a 26-minute film made for Japan's Anime Mirai project, in which Akko Kagari, a girl with no magical background, enrolls at Luna Nova Magical Academy and finds the Shiny Rod of her idol, Shiny Chariot. The Enchanted Parade (2015), funded on Kickstarter, is its direct sequel. The 2017 TV series (Episodes 1-25) is a reboot that retells Akko's first year at Luna Nova from the beginning with a longer, fuller story, so it does not require either film. Watching the films first takes under an hour and a half and is the easiest way to see everything.

## Recommended first watch

Watch the 2013 short film, then The Enchanted Parade (2015), then the TV series (25 episodes).

The TV series is a reboot, so you can also start there; the films are a separate continuity.
