HAHAHAHAHA! IT´S A GIRAFFE!

I actually love how she's been improving steadily throughout the series. Like, I thought what they were going to do was have Akko overcome all of her problems just by being the ultimate genki girl and pulling off all kinds of bullshit because she has the power of love or something. But instead her arc so far has been about channeling her enthusiasm and ambition into the motivation she needs to work and practice and actually learn how to do magic. It's really great – where a lot of shows like this would have just handed things to her, this one is making her work her butt off and actually earn it. Nobody is shown to be "naturally" gifted or "special," since even Dianna is shown to be constantly working and studying to get better, which is all a much more interesting and organic way to eventually transform Akko in to the skilled and powerful witch she wants to be.
