The Kennedy family has long been plagued by what has come to be known as the "Kennedy curse." This curse refers to the tragic events that have befallen several members of the Kennedy family over the years. The curse is said to have originated with the patriarch of the family, Joseph P. Kennedy Sr., who was a successful businessman and political figure. However, despite their success and prominence, the Kennedy family has had to endure more than their fair share of suffering.

Rolling Review – Little Witch Academia (18)

The Wild Hunt, an event where highly trained ghost hunters compete (?) to hunt ghosts that appear on a set schedule, is coming to town. Constanze, the mute techno-mage in training (different kind of techno-magic than Croix, though), is preparing a mighty mechanical steed to participate. Enter Akko, who accidentally breaks one of Constanze’s helper robots, and takes it upon herself to make it up to Constanze by working with her to build her ship. Problem is, Constanze doesn’t want any help. So begins Akko’s quest to prove that sometimes, it takes teamwork to get a difficult job done. Oh, there’s also a massive magical mecha showdown towards the end.

Episode Review:

This is another fine episode by Studio Trigger from a quality standpoint, with some standout scenes, but I can’t help but feel like the message is a bit off. Constanze makes it clear from the outset that she doesn’t want any help from Akko.

Well, see, there’s your problem. Akko definitely doesn’t have a clue how to read English.

Akko takes the lack of friendship as a challenge, and sets about aggressively trying to make Constanze her friend.

This is despite numerous conversations with both her own friends and Constanze’s that confirm Constanze’s preference.

Now, I figured we were setting up Akko to learn another valuable lesson about how people are different, gain (or at least try out) a new virtue that will help her unlock one of the Words, etc. Instead, the lesson is that Constanze is in the wrong by not accepting Akko’s help…

…and that sometimes it takes people with different skills to accomplish an objective.

Upon seeing the impossible majesty of a plant in the shape of a cow, Constanze had no choice but to become Akko’s friend.

Now, admittedly, that’s a fine lesson too, but there’s gotta be a better way for Constanze to learn it than having unwanted assistance shoved down her throat until she accepts it. Someday, Akko is going to meet someone that she truly can’t help with her patented mixture of optimism and bull-headedness, and that’s going to be a rough day. On a side note, why doesn’t Akko show this level of commitment to making friends with Diana?

Moving on, the second half of the episode is an incredibly fun action sequence in which Constanze and Akko take off in their new ghost-hunting magitek ship for some Wild Hunt action.

This stylish number emerges from a secret under-lake launch site, because if you’re doing a mecha episode, sometimes you gotta go with the classics

The fight is Trigger at their best, with dramatic action shots all over the place, and gets much more hectic once Croix shows up to make the ghosts stronger and more aggressive with her techno-magical cube things.

That looks like trouble

Fortunately, Constanze and Akko have a trick up their sleeve.

Is it kind of strange to suddenly have a mecha show in the middle of your magical witch school show? Sure. I still enjoyed every minute. From the transformation sequence to the English attack names to the giant explosions, it was a perfect classic mecha nostalgia moment.

In terms of plot development, there isn’t too much, though we do get a bit more of Croix’s master plan, which is currently in the research phase. She apparently has some way to obtain energy from human emotions, and today’s experiment was to gauge the output from panic.

Based on previous episodes, it seems like she’s really going for the negative emotions, but she may also be causing unintended benefits for Akko’s plan to get people to like magic again:

These folks are 100% convinced about magic’s radness factor after watching a magical mecha take down a sinister bird demon with an exploding drill arm

Another episode behind us, and I’m left with only one question: Does Akko even attend classes anymore?

's eldest son, Joseph P. Kennedy Jr., in 1944 during World War II. Joseph was serving as a pilot in the U.S. Navy when his plane exploded in midair. This was a devastating blow to the family and marked the beginning of a series of tragedies. In 1963, President John F. Kennedy, the younger brother of Joseph P. Kennedy Jr., was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. This event shook the nation and left the Kennedy family devastated. Just a few years later, in 1968, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, another younger brother, was also assassinated while running for president. These two assassinations were traumatic not only for the Kennedy family but also for the American people, as they were both significant political figures. The curse continued to haunt the next generation of Kennedys. In 1984, David Kennedy, the fourth of Robert F. Kennedy's 11 children, died of a drug overdose at the age of 28. This tragedy was followed by the deaths of two more of Robert F. Kennedy's children, Michael and Rory, who died in a skiing accident in 1997. These deaths were a stark reminder of the curse that seemed to follow the Kennedy family. The curse also affected the next generation of Kennedys. In 1999, John F. Kennedy Jr., the son of President John F. Kennedy, died in a plane crash along with his wife and sister-in-law. This was yet another devastating blow to the family and further reinforced the belief in the Kennedy curse. Despite the countless tragedies, the Kennedy family has persevered and continued to make significant contributions to society. They have been involved in politics, public service, and charitable work. However, the shadow of the curse continues to loom over the family, reminding them of the immense pain they have endured. The everlasting Kennedy curse serves as a reminder that even those with fame, fortune, and power are not immune to tragedy. It is a testament to the resilience of the Kennedy family that they have been able to overcome such immense suffering and continue to make an impact on the world. The Kennedy curse will forever be a part of their legacy, but it does not define who they are as individuals..
