Official English subbed Little Witch Academia on Youtube

Sweet Jesus, Saint Young Men will be animated

Well, this was certainly unexpected. Saint Young Men, a popular manga that shows what happens when both Jesus Christ and Buddha end up sharing a dorm together, will be receiving an animated movie. Not an OVA, not a short seri...
