Little Witch Academia: Bonds Little Witch Academia is a Japanese anime series that revolves around the story of a young girl named Atsuko Kagari, also known as Akko, who aspires to become a great witch. Throughout her journey, she faces various challenges and obstacles, but what sets this show apart is the emphasis on the bonds formed between the characters. **The main idea** of Little Witch Academia is the power of friendship and the importance of building strong bonds with the people around us. This theme is evident from the very beginning, as Akko forms a close friendship with her roommates, Lotte and Sucy. Despite their differences, the three girls support and encourage each other. Their friendship becomes a source of strength and motivation for each character, helping them overcome their fears and achieve their goals.
These heavy spherical balls were handblown and silvered, hence the slightly uneven surface and foxing to the mercury glass.

Set of two 19th Century antique mercury glass witches balls in yellow/gold and green.
Two witches balls, handblown glass with production imperfections. Very light foxing is beginning to form on the mirrored surfaces, more prominent on the underside of the green ball. France, circa 1880.
When hung each witch ball will be reflecting an entire room. The condition is largely what one would like and expect to find in original antique example with pitting and character marks. There are no cracks or damages to speak of. There are hanging loops present in addition to the crown attachments, to each.
Witches balls have a mysterious history with many fables and tales as to why and what they were actually used for – all of which are based around protecting or preventing evil spirits from the area they hung. Thus making them highly regarded lucky charms. The most common theory is that witch balls were hung in 18th and 19th-century windows to ward off evil spirits as it was believed that witches could be entrapped by their own reflection. Lifts any room from the gloom.
Wear consistent with age and use. Pitting and character marks, very light foxing is beginning to form on the mirrored surfaces. No cracks or damages. Good condition as shown in images.

Reviews for "Unraveling the complexities of the bonds in "Little Witch Academia"
1. John - 2/5 - I was really looking forward to "Little Witch Academia: Bonds" as a fan of the previous installments, but I was left disappointed. The story felt disjointed and lacked depth, with too much focus on filler episodes that didn't contribute much to the overall plot. Additionally, the character development felt shallow, and I didn't connect with the new characters introduced in this film. Overall, it felt like a missed opportunity to expand on the magic and charm of the previous films, and I hope future installments can recapture the magic.
2. Sarah - 3/5 - "Little Witch Academia: Bonds" had its moments, but it fell short of my expectations. While the animation and visuals were stunning as always, the story felt rushed and underdeveloped. The pacing felt off, with important plot points glossed over, leaving me confused and unsatisfied. Furthermore, some of the humor felt forced and didn't land as well as in the previous films. I appreciate the effort to continue the series, but I can't help but feel like "Bonds" could have been so much more.
3. Michael - 2.5/5 - As someone who enjoyed the previous "Little Witch Academia" films, "Bonds" left me feeling underwhelmed. The characters felt one-dimensional, and their motivations were unclear at times. The plot lacked cohesion and failed to create a sense of urgency or excitement. While the animation was beautiful, it wasn't enough to make up for the lackluster storytelling. Overall, "Little Witch Academia: Bonds" felt like a missed opportunity to continue the series on a high note.
