3. Atsuko Kagari

Anime: Little Witch Academia

How could anyone not like Little Witch Academia?

While anime has always dabbled in magic and fantasy, it hasn’t really had something akin to Harry Potter-esque wizarding schools and magic academies.

Otherwise known as Akko, the MC Atsuko is much better than most MCs in anime.

Sure, she’s also filled with wonder. Which then fuels her recklessness and makes her an eyesore to those in authority.

But you can’t hate her:

Akko sees witchcraft and magic as tools for positive social change, not as sources of world domination and annihilation.

She’s a slow learner, but you’d rather want more students like her than someone with selfish intentions for becoming a witch.

Lastly, she gets this spot because like Lina Inverse: she’s reminiscent of the classic magic user in fiction, what with her magic flying broom, wand, and typical spells like levitation, transformation, object repair, and energy beams.
