- May 22, 2017
In Little Witch Academia season 1 episode 20 entitled "Sense and Sensibility," the witches of Luna Nova are getting ready for the annual broom relay race. Akko is excited to participate but, as usual, she hasn't done any of the necessary training. When she finally decides to practice, she struggles to fly at all and is left behind by her teammates. Meanwhile, Diana is struggling with a different issue. The race falls on the same day as the selection tests for potential members of the Nine Olde Witches' coven. Diana's family has a long and prestigious history with the coven, and she feels the pressure to do well. Despite this pressure, she takes time out of her own training to offer advice to Akko.
As the day of the race approaches, Akko is still struggling to fly properly. Ursula offers to help her by showing her a secret place where she used to train when she was a student at Luna Nova. Akko is excited to learn some new tips and tricks, but when they arrive at the location, it's revealed to be a forbidden area. Akko is hesitant to train there, but Ursula encourages her to do so anyway, claiming that it's important to push boundaries and take risks. Akko takes this advice to heart, and soon she is able to fly better than ever before.
Meanwhile, Diana has been preparing for the selection tests with intense focus. However, when she arrives, she realizes that she's forgotten to bring her wand. Without it, she is unable to complete the tests and is disqualified. She is devastated by this failure, which she sees as an embarrassment to her family's legacy. Akko, who has flown to the site of the selection tests to cheer her on, tries to reassure her that she doesn't need to live up to anyone's expectations but her own.
The day of the broom relay arrives, and Akko is feeling confident and excited. When the race begins, she takes off at a terrific speed and quickly overtakes the other teams. However, she soon hits a roadblock in the form of a steep hill that she can't seem to climb. It seems like all her progress has been for naught until Diana comes to her rescue. She uses a spell to create a gust of wind that helps Akko reach the top of the hill. From then on, the two girls work together to ensure their team's victory.
In the end, both Akko and Diana learn important lessons about the importance of perseverance and the impact of true friendship. The episode is a heartwarming exploration of the themes of courage and passion, and how they can help one to overcome even the greatest challenges.
