[Anime] Lucky ☆ Star

Quote:

Konata's pretty likable, mostly because she and I seem to have similar bad habits.

Its weird, characters that always have this self satisfying smirk on usually annoying me, but Konata seen to be very likable indeed, not sure why. lol

There is something sagely about her...

Another thing I like about this is the how easily one could identify with some of the things that they talk about... like procrastinating on homework assigment, etc. ;_;


Oh yeah, Change Getter for the win.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I think Konata is the only truly eccentric personality out of the group so far. In someways most of the episode is made up of personalities of other character bouncing off Konata about different issue/situations.

If you were to be somewhat cynical about it, perhaps Konata = Otaku type of setup is use to attract male otaku audience as I can relate to many of her bad habits (particularly in episode 4, I mean, I have the very exact same thing happened from time to times, like the surfing on the internet following flame wars, watching anime, reading comics while slacking off when I am suppose to be studying, spend the whole spring break playing MMORPG, etc, etc). Am I just that typical?

However, even with people complaining about the lack of "wit" compare to Azumanga , I think overall the characterization of Lucky Star with its girly chitchat is more realistic but also doesn't make it less amusing. I think one kind of have to approach this the same way that we have our daily musing about mundane issues, its interesting when it is being articulated, and I think this isn't taking the easy way out.

Lucky Star also have rather different appeal compare to Azumanga. There is a distinct nostalgic flavor to Azumanga, while I think Lucky Star deal with similar subject matters, its interest are more contemporary.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Its weird, because some of the komica's commentary indicated that Akira is quit different from the comic version. They said that Akira's personalities is being distorted (blacken in their words) in the anime version. Not sure how much of that is true. :< I kinda want to read the comic.

I wonder if they will release the cover sung by the characters, especially episode 5. :3

Oh, and Fumuffu too. :3 I want Konata's cover of that song. <3

Doesn't the teacher have a weird accent? O.o

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

For some reason I get the feeling that each episode is too short, and particularly this most recent one. :< Its like before you know exactly what hits you, its already over. :<

Kagami complained that nobody hit on her because of Konata, and:

Konata's reaction to that. :3

Well, I personally think its also the joke surrounding that one.

Spoiler:

I especially liked it when

This happened. :3

I think they have the Kyoto Animation's own reputation and the success of Haruhi (and perhaps Kanon 2006) to thank for that. Secondly, because of the type of show it is, there is different type expectation. We are not exactly looking for major eye candy in terms of visual or animation quality in this particular anime. With that said, the animation quality has be pretty consistent (unlike some of Gainx's animation, namely Gurren Lagann and stuff from Gonzo overall). :<

I was speaking idiomatically.

Probably the best one so far.

AFK's 8 is out. Konata's Dad.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Is it just me or they are trying to sneak in as many meme in this anime as possible?

Spoiler:

Didn't she mention that her parents know each other since they were little? Man, if we summarize Konata's life it might sound like one of those tragic dating theme heroines or something.

FELIPE NO

I was under the impression that the drumbeat theme is only very similar, but I have only seen the one in DieBuster so I am probably wrong. :<

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

This is something subtle, but is it just me

Spoiler:

But is it just me, or she is the only sales girl with an actual girl voice acting. ;3 She is the person behind Nagato as in the voice acting? Nagamoe~:3

They are using quite a few original voice acting for cameo characters, really tongue and cheek. -w-

You can tell that they are on top of stuff when they put internet memes generated from their older series into their new ones.

Man, episode 17 is weird.

and wtf Drama in my Lucky Star?

lucky channel's special guest:

Finally someone that even Akira-sama couldn't quite handle. Anime 店長 for the win!

Oh yeah, for some reason I was expecting Jack Bauer to show up for some reason.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Although I think it would be interesting to see some of those character in college, it is a completely different kind of environment (as far as my experience goes...), and also it would be good if there are more campus type story oriented around college rather then high school as it usually is...

Uguu, why did they have to Introduce Tamura-san so late in the series. :x I can totally identify. =w= I like how Yutaka and friends can probably have their own series. :3

I was speaking idiomatically.

On Episode 22.
Suddenly Lucky Star becomes one of my all time favorites, I think there are other contemplative moment in the series. :3

Spoiler:

Like when Kagami is having a fall out with her sister, but later the atmosphere become much better when her sister recognized her for the effort that she put in. :3 Which episode was that?

Originally People were complaining about how Kyotoani is change things around and stuff, (Like adding a lot Haruhi reference and something like that... I guess it isn't something tha can be excused, but most people get a kick out of it) but I think they really are doing the series justice with touching little episode like this.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
