I loved the last episode, although I almost didn't like the Initial D reference since it was a bit over the top by Lucky Star standards. One of the charms of the show is its realism, and that just kinda went over the edge. Other than that, very funny stuff. Especially when

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. :<

That is why you shouldn't put random things up to your ear
This series is starting to produce Haruhi level memes, which is astounding considering it's like a KyoAni "B-team" production. Here's some of them: Tsukasa video

OP RedAlice remix (which is insane)
Here it is in mp3: Lucky Star OP RedAlice remix I was speaking idiomatically. |

Yeah I've been pretty impressed with the goofy stuff the Japanese people have been coming up with for this show. There's also a pretty good NES remix of the main theme here:
If anyone wants it, I have a 64kbps rip of the full version of the OP. It's not that interesting, just more of the same basically. I'm glad the show is really picking up in popularity like I predicted, not just because I love being right (:3) but also because if the popularity of the show is bad, we might not get fast high quality subs. Plus, there's some freakin' awesome fanart going around. FELIPE NO |

I'd seen that RedAlice thing before, but never any of the others. The Erasermotor Maximum/Phantom thing made me chuckle as a IIDX player.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
I doubt strato really cares about relative popularity when deciding what to work on, anyhow... How ya doing, buddy? |
Perhaps you're right about strato--but I know from personal experience it's very unsatisfying to work on something that just isn't taking off. Anyway, yaywoo success. ;3 Apparently the DVD of the show has already outsold Azumanga Daioh, just on preorders. I'm not sure what to think of that cause I do think Azumanga is the better show, but yeah--big stuff. (Not sure where I read that, so I can't really say if it was a reliable source.) I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Well I don't mean to be mean, but after marathoning through episodes 1~5 on the RAW formats, I'd see why Western fans would find it boring. I myself found myself watching / listening to the show mostly for background noise while doing homework. I do like that the main character is into net games though. Has some traits I can easily relate to.
I was speaking idiomatically. |
There's only so much they can do with the source material, anyway. The author seems to be heavy on the tsukkomi gags rather than non-sequitur humour (Azumanga's style).

Just finished watching episode 7. A lot of good highlights this time around, but I think the thing that stood out the most was this:

I don't know when it was exactly but I started to look forward to the next episodes and even found some of the content funny. Konata's what really drew me in to the series as her issues cultivated a lot of empathy as they were easily relatable. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
The latest episode 7 was fun to watch, LOVED Konata's impression on Marimite, Tsukasa's phone hyjinks!
The pacing also improved over the last couple of episodes, which is a good thing. Lucky Channel needs some newer set up or jokes though, cause its starting to get stale. Jam it back in, in the dark. { :: ~ Air - the 1000th Summer ~ :: } :: That sea went on forever, into the blue distance :: * That road went on forever, continuing straight ahead * ~ : Summer comes again, shining silver : ~ : When I close my eyes, suddenly I can see that day's blue sky : |
Interestingly, I read that they changed director from episode 5 on, which is more or less the episode when the pace started picking up.
Honestly, I never really liked Lucky Channel. It's pretty funny, but it takes time away from the actual show which I enjoy a great deal more. And right from the start I could tell that they were going to do the same stupid joke over and over again, because Japanese "comedy" duos are like that. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
The director changed from Yutaka Yamamoto to Yasuhiro Takemoto (who directed stuff like FMP? Fumoffu and FMP:TSR) which would explain the change of pace.
Curiously enough, in episode 4 Konata said "Ya***** hasn't been very impressive lately" in reference to "those long-winded Nagato scenes" from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. They probably just aired episode 9 (Someday in the Rain), which Yamamato storyboarded. A subtle reference to him being replaced? Who knows! Ha ha ha. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

I don't get it...
But on another matter, did the official lyrics of the OP seem REALLY weird? I mean, the unofficial translation didn't make much sense, but the official ones make even less sense. I was speaking idiomatically. |

Any one know where the song "Stars on Earth" is from? I somehow get the feeling that I've heard it before, but I'm not too sure....
The ED karaoke songs are LOL!!! Especially while listening to Tsukasa's version of "Valentine Day Kiss!", with Konata doing improv background vocals: "L-O-V-E - LOVELY - TSUKASA!!!" FELIPE NO

It's from the NHK documentary "Project X ~ Challengers".

Lucky Channel is starting to get stale partly because, unless you keep up with all different mediums, you won't know wtf they're talking about. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Even so, the situation is constantly "Akira getting pissed cause someone is stealing her limelight."
Maybe something new in that regard can help things.

That's really good, I've never heard Tony Thai do anything half that good! It reminds me of the stuff that Chibi-Tech does. And there's even a NSF, thanks for the link!
