I also want to know how the hell the subbers did the OP. Looks like hell to sub on time. There's nowhere I can't reach. |

Heh, the first episode was laid back alright. I enjoyed it nevertheless! I finally heard Kikuko Inoue's voice after a long, long time. It seems she's voicing Tsukasa and Kagami's mother (Miki Hiiragi in the closing credits) so it seems she's only voicing quite a small part this time round.....
Looking forward to the next episode! I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Just finished episode two, which I really enjoyed. Though I'm not really sure why I enjoyed this one even though it wasn't much different from the first episode. The Golden Week segment was pretty well written though. Konata's pretty likable, mostly because she and I seem to have similar bad habits.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
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. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

It's a shame that I just now noticed this, but the song sung during the ending animation of episode 2 is the opening theme of a 70's tokusatsu called Akumaizer 3. Similarly, the ending of episode 1 is the theme from a show called Uchuu Tetsujin Kyoudain. Even though this info is clearly listed in the ending credits, I thought the songs were made up for the show. Sheesh.
I guess every ending song will be an opening from a tokusatsu show. I hope they do the themes to Uchuu Keiji Gaban and Sharivan. FELIPE NO |
Add me to the list of people who somehow find Konata's charm strangely attractive.
Anyways, is it just me or does the OP just keep getting more and more addictive every time you watch it? What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Whoever the VA is for Haruhi and Konata has a real knack for voicing characters who are instantly likable. I mean, the first few lines Konota says in the entire series had me attached to her instantly.
Second episode was better than the first as well. I like random humor, but they overemphasized the food stuff in episode 1 a bit much. A nice spread like what was in episode 2 is much better. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

As for the second episode, I thought the timing of the humor was improved quite a bit from the first one. The opening segment on Golden Week gave us a good peek into the lives of Tsukasa and Kagami although my favorite part would have to be Konata and Co. at the arcades. Also, we can't talk about episode 2 without going into anime references which include Spoiler:

Yeah, the second episode was a little better in that there was more variety in topics being discussed. All the anime references were an added bonus too. But it actually took me the second viewing before I caught the "Getter Change!" bit.
Still wondering when the rest of the cast will be introduced.... Spoiler:
Episode 3 looks like it takes place in the summer? (just a guess, their uniform seems to have changed to short sleeves). I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

News to me i buy sausage actually means around 3 cm...
Did anybody else like take notes when they were discussing how they ate? I've actually always wondered how other people eat connettes. without the filling spewing out when you bite it, and it doesn't help if you eat it from the fat end since you get a face full of it instead of a shirt full. The cream puff thing was different though, i don't think i've ever had a cream puff that was split in two like that. All the ones ive had they usually they make a hole and like splooge it in... Japan is weird... Onions, definitely a topper and like an accessory to the dish rather than an essential part. it feels wrong to watch this in the computer commons at a university... I was speaking idiomatically. Soooo, do I get points for being leet?

Let me just say that episode 5 is definitely my favorite so far. Maybe because I got all the inside terminology and little tidbits. So funny when she gets the rare sword online :'D.
What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? oh my gawddd |
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. FELIPE NO

Is it just me or is Lucky Channel getting worse and worse? It was probably the most hilarious segment in episode 1, but now that the main portion of the show has gotten a lot better, it feels like Lucky Channel is turning into a boring one-trick pony.
CHA-LA HEAD CHA-LA is a pretty awesome way to end episode 5 though. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? My spheres of activity:

Lucky CHannel is turning into a One Trick Pony, but I think that they are doing a great job on getting more and more humor out of their thirty minutes. I mean, in Episode three when I saw the Cromartie Skit, I would have blown milk outta my nose if I was drinking it at the time. ANd it was Added to later when they Bleeped out the names and stuff of some of the mentions as well as show another skit directly afterwards.
How ya doing, buddy?

Of course, Lucky Channel (the end segment with Akira and Minoru) is not the same thing as Lucky Star (series in general).
Episode 5's Lucky Channel was probably the weakest one so far; I guess there's really only so much Akira can say about MMOs. They haven't yet done the profiles on Konata, Kagami and Tsukasa so I expect those should be worthwhile. Eventually, I suppose Akira will just do the entire segment in her real personality. 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.

I finally watched Episode 1 (yeah I lag behind in a lot of things) the other day and found Lucky Star to be really cute. Went in and read the thread expecting it to be full of praises but looks like not many people are truly interested in it, which surprised me. The first episode sort of feels like what they did with Haruhi with a little less humour. Maybe it'll take a while to get better. When I understood what all the bleeping out was, I thought that was clever. I'm not motivated yet to get the rest of the episodes since I don't know if it'll be worthwhile in terms of cuteness and freshness.

Did anyone notice Konata switching to polite speech when she talked to her teacher in-game? That surprised me. Is that a joke or just normal practice?
FELIPE NO |
Well seeing as Konata KNOWS its her teacher, wouldn't she put on a more respective tone in what she says?

Some of the anime references really made me laugh for some reason:
