Well, we’re coming up on the 24th and final episode of Lucky Star as far as we know, and it’s been interesting. They haven’t changed their formula of humor from episode 1 (which probably disappointed some fans), but if you didn’t mind that, the show was a fun watch. I guess my only gripe with the series was the fact that though we learned more about some characters, we didn’t really get to know them as more than the 1-D characters that they were at the start of the series. Exceptions include Kuroi-sensei, Misao (behold the power of the fang), and of course Kagamin.
It was a show about nothing, and yet after 23 episodes, I’m surprised that the series is almost over. It still seems like they had only just debuted the last cast of characters and we only started to get to know them. And while the humor was hit and miss and the transitions were never quite there through out the run, I wouldn’t mind watching 24 more episodes. Seriously.
That being said, it’s hard for me to find substance from this show (aside from the many references thrown out there), and it never was a show about that. So going in that vein, I feel inspired enough to throw out 24 questions with little to no substance as well, which I’m sure most of us have asked somewhere or another. Look at them if you want, answer them if you want, ask your own if you want, talk about the series if you want, etc. Not my best work, to be sure, but fun nonetheless. 
- Why weren’t the new cast of characters introduced earlier in the series? (so much flavor added to the show)
- Would you trust Soujirou with your children?
- Why doesn’t Hiyori go further in her imagination then what we see in the show? (Don’t restrain yourself!)
- Why haven’t Konata and Kagami finally admit their burning passion for each other?
- In episode 5 (I think), why does depleted uranium fit into Tsukasa’s phone conversation so well?
- In the episode with the bath scene (episode 6?), did anyone else find weird the conversation between Tsukasa and Kagami when they were talking about their father’s “thing”?
- What do you think of Soujirou’s relationship with Konata (how she got to be who she is today, how he acts around her now, and so on)?
- What was your favorite karaoke ED theme? (For me, a toss up between Konata’s rousing CHA-LA-HEAD-CHA-LA and Miyuki’s manly Chijou no Hoshi).
- Did the show need more Meito Anisawa (Anime Tenchou)? (Yes. Why can’t more shop managers be like Anime Tenchou in real life? )
- Why was there so much shameless product placement in the show?
- For American fans: Does Patty’s views (which might be a reflection of what the Japanese think of American otaku) make you feel proud to be an anime fan?
- Why doesn’t Kuroi-sensei have a significant other yet? If she existed in real life, I’d try my damndest to fill that role. Trust.
- Is there any significance in the flags (shown under this question) that Yutaka is holding in episode 17 during the set up to Konata’s birthday party?
- How often could you relate to the situations that we’re presented throughout the show, from conversations about what’s being eaten to getting attacked by deer?
- If Soujirou wins at life, how much does he win by?
- Why didn’t Lucky Channel Minoru grow a pair earlier? Would’ve saved a lot of heartbreak.
- Speaking of the man, did you like his live-action EDs? (I did.)
- What if, in a funny twist of fate, Miyuki grew up to become a dentist?
- Why doesn’t Ayane get mad, from what Misao said? It seems like it would be made of much hilarity.
- Was anyone else tired of the comparisons between Lucky Star and Azumanga Daioh? Is the latter really a paragon of slice of life school comedy anime?
- Was 24 episodes too long or short of the show? Lucky Channel?
- Why did you continue watching the series? Or for people who stopped watching, why did you stop?
- Isn’t it sad, Kagamin?
- Did the homage to 24 in episode 17 need more or less Jack Bauer?
Also, the show needs more Yuuko Gotou. Hell, more anime does; I don’t love her like a fat kid loves cake, but still.

If you think here will be no season 2, you are a fool XD
12. Hell yes. This is the BIGGEST MYSTERY OF LUCKY STAR. Kuroi is awesome. Late 20s? Blogger? MMOG Enthusiast? I can lust after without feeling like a lolicon too, which is a MAJOR plus.
Man, I cannot think how to properly convey my appreciation for Kuroi-sensei without seeming like a bit of a creephat, but she is awesome.
1. lazy probably
2. do we really have to answer that
3. dunno
4. WRRRYYYYY
5. can’t remember ep 5
6. i have never heard a person speaking of their father’s “thing” ever.
7. she was raised as a boy ! (she even has a flat chest)
8. Aya Hirano shouting CHA-LA-HEAD-CHALA is the funniest thing i heard
9. yeah he was awesome
10. its not called lucky star its actually “Suzumiya Haruhi no Yutsuu 1.5″
11. as an anime fan i view japan the same way she does
12. she can hook up with Soujirou
13. Japan’s allies in the next big war
14. 50/50 i’ll say (i have never talked for 7 min. [ep 1] about different foods and how to eat them)
15. BIG TIME !
16. Lucky Channel has been a fun ride i’m glad the way Minoru grew some “balls” by the end
17. XD
18. she will OD on laughing gas
19. she needs to grow a pair
20. Azumanga Daioh is made of win !
21. too long. many moments i dozed off.
22. kept watching because it had some great moment (although not enough to make up for the not-so-great moments)
23.
24. Jack Bower is the second revelation of Chuck Norris (hell yeah)
“Was anyone else tired of the comparisons between Lucky Star and Azumanga Daioh? Is the latter really a paragon of slice of life school comedy anime?”
Yes, it is a paragon. For the obvious reason that 90% of LS happens to be outside school grounds.
Let me add my question to your list:
#25: What the hell was the Kyo Ani staff smoking to think that making a show in which the characters talk about CHOCOLATE FREAKIN’ CORONETS FOR EIGHT MINUTES was a good idea?
In conclusion, food anime sucks, go watch Gurren Laggan, punks!
In case you can’t tell, I’m partially joking, but only partially.
Now having actually read the questions and realizing that 20 and 22 pertain to me…
20. I am not that huge a fan of AzuDai. I like it – I didn’t love it, I didn’t freak out over it – it was ‘good’ for me. I’ve never understood why it’s held in such regards that everyone needs an NGE complex over it.
22. Dropped it for several reasons. The biggest one eing that a few months ago I went about 3 weeks without really watching any anime, effectively making me loose track of every last show I was watching. When I finally got back to anime, the first thing I watched was LS episode 11 (which, if you’ve read my blog was my least favorite episode – FULL OF HATE) and never worked up the spirit to continue (even though 12 was supposedly awesome) like most of the spring season I plan to ‘block watch it right as fall season starts’
#6. I’ve been wondering about it too for the longest time lol
#12. Ditto!
#14. Almost every episode. Especially since I’m a gamer and anime fan.
#15. He’ll only win by luck, and not much at that lol
#18. Then she failed at life!
#20. I think the only similarities are the total randomness of events. And Azumanga Daioh is probably more relevant 10 years ago. Lucky Star is NOW
#23. No idea what this really means, but probably the answer is yes, it is lol
1. I was asking that every episode before they appeared (“Where the fuck are they?” I screamed)
2. Only if he’d trust me with his :3
3. Guilt is for the weak. Give me my yuri.
4. Because no one could ever love Kagami, that bitch.
5. Not as well as cheesecake.
6. That’s an interesting question.
7. It’s how I’d treat my daughter if she was cute.
8. CHA-LA-HEAD-CHA-LA
9. No. I really hope they don’t show up in 24.
10. The lulz man, the lulz.
11. I’m not sure how to answer this question. I’d like to make love to Patty.
12. Because she spends all her time on the computer instead of going out and meeting men.
13. No.
14. All of them, deer included, though it was m sister and a goat.
15. OVER 9000!!!!!
16. Everyone has their breaking point.
17. I fucking loved them.
18. Nobody cares about Miyuki. And that would never happen.
19. Talk about a character that didn’t get enough screen time.
20. Nah, let people make their cpmparisons. If what they say has merit then so be it. If not, ignore them.
21. Too short for Lucky Star, just right for Lucky Channel
22. Highschool girls
23. No, it’s funny.
24. What?
4.) Kagamin~ I demand a confession in ep24.
1. Why weren’t the new cast of characters introduced earlier in the series? (so much flavor added to the show)
Because cast overload garners just as many complaints as lack thereof. See: fan reaction to the cast list of Nanoha StrikerS, before it aired.
5. In episode 5 (I think), why does depleted uranium fit into Tsukasa’s phone conversation so well?
I asked the same about why every time we come into the middle of a Random Conversation, it’s about something stinky.
6. In the episode with the bath scene (episode 6?), did anyone else find weird the conversation between Tsukasa and Kagami when they were talking about their father’s “thing”?
“Weird” as in “I didn’t expect that to make it past the network”, yes. Otherwise, not really; it’s all a part of life.
7. What do you think of Soujirou’s relationship with Konata (how she got to be who she is today, how he acts around her now, and so on)?
They get along far better than many families featured in other shows. I don’t know if this is a good thing for LS or a bad thing for those other families.
8. What was your favorite karaoke ED theme? (For me, a toss up between Konata’s rousing CHA-LA-HEAD-CHA-LA and Miyuki’s manly Chijou no Hoshi).
Doraemon no Uta, episode 11. Primarily for nostalgia factor.
9. Did the show need more Meito Anisawa (Anime Tenchou)? (Yes. Why can’t more shop managers be like Anime Tenchou in real life? )
Depends. There’s such a thing as running a gag too far, but exactly how far is subjective.
10. Why was there so much shameless product placement in the show?
I never really noticed it all that much, at least in this case. I suppose if someone were to record a conversation between me and my friends, they’d end up with an equally high number of product placements, ranging from anime to video games to tabletop gaming.
I think at least part of it is due to viewer perceptions; I counted a lot more “classic” products (from the 80s and 90s or before) as opposed to more contemporary ones. I don’t think those older products really need placement, but I could be wrong.
13. Is there any significance in the flags (shown under this question) that Yutaka is holding in episode 17 during the set up to Konata’s birthday party?
Flags of other countries are usually strung together for many Japanese festivals, for some reason. (It’s all over the place in School Rumble, if I recall.) I suppose it’s because they’re colourful and it saves on random confetti.
14. How often could you relate to the situations that we’re presented throughout the show, from conversations about what’s being eaten to getting attacked by deer?
Overall, I’d say that over eighty percent of the conversations in the show have personal experience counterparts for me, or I’ve discussed something like it with my friends.
17. Speaking of the man, did you like his live-action EDs? (I did.)
It’s amusing for a while, and then went to a phase of “okay, joke gone on too long”, before becoming amusing again. Absurdity in repetition, I think it’s called.
20. Was anyone else tired of the comparisons between Lucky Star and Azumanga Daioh? Is the latter really a paragon of slice of life school comedy anime?
I’d say that AzuDai isn’t really the paragon as such, but more because we English-speaking fans have been exposed to it the most and earliest. It’s the kind of annoyance I also feel when people shower praise on Half-Life for being “the first story-based FPS” when there was also System Shock and Marathon and Pathways Into Darkness before it.
I’d actually rate Lucky Star as more enjoyable to me than Azumanga Daioh. I suspect this is because AzuDai is based more on the “normal” people, while LS is geared towards the geekier crowd. (And, considering the huge number of classic references, I mean the sort of geek who recalls every line of their favourite 80s cartoon theme songs.)
21. Was 24 episodes too long or short of the show? Lucky Channel?
I have the feeling LS could go on indefinitely. 24 is as good a stopping point as any other.
22. Why did you continue watching the series? Or for people who stopped watching, why did you stop?
I continued watching the series because it’s Relevant To My Tastes. It interests me, and I enjoyed watching it. There really isn’t any other reason I can give to this question.
Karry:
nomadotto: I’m still watching Gurren Lagann (and thinking of a post for when it’s all said and done), though it needs more EPIC. Episode 24 is a step in the right direction though. Are you still watching Lucky Star? There’s good stuff there.
21stcenturydigitalboy: What are you looking to get out of the series? There’s a lot of conversations throughout the show, but there are also other things that make it good.
roast-beefy-weefs: “What?” Exactly. Have you watched 24?
Crisu: The stuff of dreams, my friend.
DKellis: I think I prefer the Lucky Star characters as they are more realistic for being what they are than the AzuDai characters. But the latter will have more of an imprint in my mind because of their (a little) stranger oddities and their stronger cohesiveness as friends than the Lucky Star cast, if you get what I mean.
looking to get out of the series? Well, honestly, I only picked it up itn the first place because, as you know, I’m very new to the whole ‘anime on dem computers’ thing, and it was my first watching-every-week show. Like most, it was mostly ZOMG Kyoani though unlike most I watched the episode 1 before any hype reached me. So really, I was just watching it to watch it, and I rather liked it. Though after watching a lot more comedies, I’m not suer I could go back and thoroughly enjoy LS – it’s not really my kind of show in a lot of ways, but I still take interest in it. It’s one of those shows that I’d buy the thinpack just cuz it’s cheap, and while I don’t care that much, it’s still nice to have (same goes for Azudai if the thinpack weren’t so expensive at Planet Music)
>“What?” Exactly. Have you watched 24?
Nah, I watch very little American television.
1. to make you feel that way
2. yes, definitely if he would trade
3. cause then lucky star would be harder to find
4. just cause
5. tsukasa is osama in disguise (or obama, it’s all the same)
6. i talk about girl things all the time (i’m still a kid)
7. pedoincest?
8. hare hare yukai irl
9. I’ll be one if i fail at life
10. shame isn’t a word in an anime unless it’s talking about some sort of yaoi (which is pretty shameful indeed)
11. PATTY IS BOOBSGIRL lol but i’m an american otaku and on a scale of 1-10 i’m about a 4 and patty is about a 2
12. cause she’s kuroi
13. nope, unless yutaka is in cahoots with tsukasa (read 5)
14. all the time, except as boys and not as funny cause sometimes my friends are stupid
15. THISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS MUCH
16. he has a pair, akira is holding them for him atm
17. yes
18. REVENGE!!!
19. iono
20. cause there are people like narutards for most any anime
21. too short, this could go on forever for all i care and it would still have it’s novelty of being totally random
22. cause it’s addicting
23. yes it is, kanata
14. less bauer, more kanata, that part was the one most touching part in lucky star ever
1. Why weren’t the new cast of characters introduced earlier in the series? (so much flavor added to the show)
Just like in culinary, too many flavors mixed together is usually not a good thing due to how the essentials of what really makes the dish tasty risk being lost.
2. Would you trust Soujirou with your children?
Yes, actually. He isn’t a bad guy and keeps his fantasies within intangible reach. He also loved and adored his wife. Regardless of his questionable personal interests, he is a caring individual.
3. Why doesn’t Hiyori go further in her imagination then what we see in the show? (Don’t restrain yourself!)
Because seeing someone squirm and struggle with their own morality is always amusing [in anime]. If she didn’t, she’d just be a toned-down version of Patty…and I would hate that. I like Hiyori for that reason.
4. Why haven’t Konata and Kagami finally admit their burning passion for each other?
They have…in the minds of dozens of doujin artists… ._. *shakes head in dismay*
5. In episode 5 (I think), why does depleted uranium fit into Tsukasa’s phone conversation so well?
For the same reason Tsukasa actively tries to be intelligent: Every little bit helps.
6. In the episode with the bath scene (episode 6?), did anyone else find weird the conversation between Tsukasa and Kagami when they were talking about their father’s “thing”?
Not really. Probably because the talk about their period kind of overshadowed that. For me, at least.
7. What do you think of Soujirou’s relationship with Konata (how she got to be who she is today, how he acts around her now, and so on)?
I think that it’s a healthy one. He doesn’t hold her back from her interests and gives her the freedom to be herself. He nurtures her like a mother (how ever uncharacteristic it is – he knows how to tie a bow for a kimono for crying out loud), while still giving her positive traits (cooking, cleaning, accountability, responsibity, etc.) as a father. It’s not a Japanese ideal by far, but it’s way better than most families are in real life.
8. What was your favorite karaoke ED theme? (For me, a toss up between Konata’s rousing CHA-LA-HEAD-CHA-LA and Miyuki’s manly Chijou no Hoshi).
I liked Ep.1’s ED, as it made me laugh the most since old mecha themes were pretty ridiculous.
9. Did the show need more Meito Anisawa (Anime Tenchou)? (Yes. Why can’t more shop managers be like Anime Tenchou in real life? )
It wasn’t essential, but any character that is played by Tomokazu Seki-sama is a yes in my book.
10. Why was there so much shameless product placement in the show?
Emotional connection with the visual otaku viewers that frequent Akihabara. What makes you want to watch something more than being able to say “I can relate” or “I have that too!” Though I didn’t have physical possession of products shown or eluded to, I was glad I had experienced Akiba first-hand, as that only enhanced my experience with Lucky Star.
11. For American fans: Does Patty’s views (which might be a reflection of what the Japanese think of American otaku) make you feel proud to be an anime fan?
No. Not. At. All. I shared Kagami’s irritation and disdain of Patty, and her blatant, narrow-minded view of Japanese culture. Patty is a perfect example of a good portion of Americans who are trying to become otaku while not appreciating what Japan is (other than being the birth of anime). Honestly, I can’t stand those types who can’t talk about anything except visual culture and come off as know-it-alls while they’re at it. I am an anime otaku of my own right, not because I was trying to absorb every single piece of trivia I could or because I could make references to anime to people who could care less, but because before I knew it, I could point out more than 50% of the cosplayers I saw, while squealing over whether I should buy a PVC figure or three manga I have been itching to get. To quote Genshiken’s Madarame: “Otaku is a state of mind…Before you know it, you are one.”
12. Why doesn’t Kuroi-sensei have a significant other yet? If she existed in real life, I’d try my damndest to fill that role. Trust.
Because Kansai women can be scary, obnoxious, and highly opinionated. I should know. I lived in the Kansai area for a few months. I really think that because of her personal habits, she has become too comfortable with singlehood that she doesn’t make any efforts, despite her admittance of not enjoying single.
13. Is there any significance in the flags (shown under this question) that Yutaka is holding in episode 17 during the set up to Konata’s birthday party?
Probably for the reason DKellis deduced.
14. How often could you relate to the situations that we’re presented throughout the show, from conversations about what’s being eaten to getting attacked by deer?
I related much more with the situations, locale, and events moreso than the conversations (e.g. the end of ep.23 OMG! YES! XD). I did understand somewhere around half of Konata’s references as well.
15. If Soujirou wins at life, how much does he win by?
Honestly, not much. His wife – probably the only one who sincerely loved him for him – died. To me, that’s a very big blow, as I am with someone like that to me right now. He could have won at life everyday if she hadn’t, but is now reduced to relying on his usual habits. A shame, if you ask me..
16. Why didn’t Lucky Channel Minoru grow a pair earlier? Would’ve saved a lot of heartbreak.
Four Reasons
1) He was a n00b and worked with someone who knew the business better than he did. It is the Japanese way to be submissive and reverent to those with more experience than you.
2) Always kept the Lucky Channel dynamic everchanging and unpredictable.
3) Good ol’ fashioned character development.
4) It wouldn’t have been as fun or funny for the Japanese audience who know what it’s like to show restraint towards something they dislike to save face.
17. Speaking of the man, did you like his live-action EDs? (I did.)
I thought they were creative and funny. I was especially fond of the “SUPON! SUPON! SUPON!” song he did. Having him switch between his songs was also hilarious to me.
18. What if, in a funny twist of fate, Miyuki grew up to become a dentist?
Miyuki? With sharp objects? She’d never make it past training. The space-time continuum couldn’t balance that twist of fate into being. Ever.
19. Why doesn’t Ayane get mad, from what Misao said? It seems like it would be made of much hilarity.
Not enough time to justify or build upon Ayane’s character in that regard. In other words, it would be a one-shot deal, which wouldn’t be worth it at episode 23.
20. Was anyone else tired of the comparisons between Lucky Star and Azumanga Daioh? Is the latter really a paragon of slice of life school comedy anime?
I wasn’t tired of it, but those who were saying “L*S is just like Azu” are very very NO! errr…I mean wrong. And yes, it is a paragon. There is no other slice-of-life school anime that I can think of that made me actually feel remorse that they were actually done with school.
21. Was 24 episodes too long or short of the show? Lucky Channel?
Just like TMHS, I don’t believe avid watchers would want L*S to end. Based off of the evolution of Lucky Channel, I’d say that 24 episodes was just about right to not get bored with the series as a whole.
22. Why did you continue watching the series? Or for people who stopped watching, why did you stop?
Unless an anime is absolutely horrid, I usually stick with it until the end if I can get my feet wet in at least five episodes and still be happy. I have to say that I was most interested in how a series like this would end, as well as Minoru Shiraishi’s character development from a n00b to…hardened badass(?) XD
23. Isn’t it sad, Kagamin?
What’s sad is that people like the idiot that played Kagami like a fiddle really do exist. It’s sad because a level-headed tsundere like her actually cared for a moment. It’s sad because she didn’t deserve that; Tsukasa did =P
24. Did the homage to 24 in episode 17 need more or less Jack Bauer?
American TV reference in my dancing animu? For shame, BigN. For shaaaaaame.
@nomadotto: #25: What the hell was the Kyo Ani staff smoking to think that making a show in which the characters talk about CHOCOLATE FREAKIN’ CORONETS FOR EIGHT MINUTES was a good idea?
I have what I believe to be a fairly sound deduction of the reasoning behind that here.
@Jobrill: Man, I cannot think how to properly convey my appreciation for Kuroi-sensei without seeming like a bit of a creephat, but she is awesome.
You apparently haven’t met my waifu, Haruka Kamio a la AIR. She may not be all into the net, but she’s got a lot more of what matters in a woman. Of course, no one comes close to my RL woman.
1. Because they were introduced late in the manga, and perhaps the first graders are going to be main chara for season 2.
2. Yes, not because he’ll molest them (he won’t), but he seemed to think it’s okay to share his doujinshi and eroge with his young daughter.
3. Censorship, and that’s what doujins are for.
4. Again, that’s what doujins are for.
5. I have no idea what you’re talking about. Is this an English fansub thing (I don’t watch them).
6. Not really, many girls do that. I always appreciate the show’s candid-ness (maybe not for Puritanical Western fans).
7. I think they have a great relationship, and that Konata became an Akiba-kei because of her love for him.
8. I love all the old school J-POP I enjoyed in the past, like I’m Proud, Sailor Suite and Machine Gun, but I love Monkey Magic so much I transcribed and translated the Kona version.
9. No, because it was obviously a paid commercial for Animate. I’d rather them do parody on Tora no Ana mascots, which is more appropriate since TnA is more otaku than animate.
10. Because Lucky Star was created to push product in Computiq, and KyoAni and Kadokawa has a lot of related properties. Plus there are paid commercials like Animate and Gamers.
11. YES. Patti is the best gaijin-ota character ever created. Everyone should strive to be like Patti.
12. Because she always talk in that annoying fake kansai-ben, she act and talk like a man, watches K-1 and pro baseball, and wear pants with a shirt and tie all the time. She’s an antithesis of a female teacher model in Japan, and a lot of guy won’t know what to do with her.
13. Probably not.
14. I relate to a LOT, but that’s because I’m intimate with everyday mainstream J-culture and entertainment. I get the jokes with the all the TV shows references.
15. Not much, because he lost Kanata.
16. Because Shiraishi in real life is really such a pussy. Listen to the Lucky Channel radio show and you’ll see.
17. I liked some of them, especially the Enka ones and the ones involving Kaori-chan, but most of it is a huge meh. It’s more fun watching it on NicoNico with all the comments about him flying by.
18. I think it’s pre-destined.
19. Like Misao said, it would take a lot to get Ayane angry, and she’ll kick ass and take names when that happens. Misao is just smart enough not to cross the line.
20. YES.
21. Being a huge fan, it was too short. But in reality, I’m shock it was this long. Lucky Channel is just a spoof of the radio show; that’s still happening every week.
22. I kept watching because a lot of jokes made me LOL, the dramatic scenes, and Kagamin.
23. ? Kagamin is never sad; just too embarrassed to say anything
24. It’s was just right. 24 is so big in Japan that they just have to refer to it, but they could use less Minomonta references.. he already appeared on TV often enough.
I agree, more Gotouza-sama is needed.
Here’s to Season 2!
roast-beefy-weefs: That would explain why.
fatestaysmart: “Just like in culinary, too many flavors mixed together is usually not a good thing due to how the essentials of what really makes the dish tasty risk being lost.”
It was really only after they were added that made the dish really tasty in this case. Sure, there were great bursts of flavor, and nice moments of cohesiveness with the ingredients beforehand, but it still felt unpolished. It was more delicious when more was added.
“I think that it’s a healthy one. He doesn’t hold her back from her interests and gives her the freedom to be herself. He nurtures her like a mother (how ever uncharacteristic it is – he knows how to tie a bow for a kimono for crying out loud), while still giving her positive traits (cooking, cleaning, accountability, responsibity, etc.) as a father. It’s not a Japanese ideal by far, but it’s way better than most families are in real life.”
True, and it’s touching to see his relationship with Konata and his former one with Kanata.
“Emotional connection with the visual otaku viewers that frequent Akihabara.”
Is material ‘wealth’that important?
“Patty is a perfect example of a good portion of Americans who are trying to become otaku while not appreciating what Japan is (other than being the birth of anime). “
I think some people call that being a weeaboo. <_<
I felt it funny when portrayed in Lucky Star, but I dislike the connotations. Is that what some people see all of us as being? Who knows?
“I really think that because of her personal habits, she has become too comfortable with singlehood that she doesn’t make any efforts, despite her admittance of not enjoying single.”
I think that’s it too. And I wouldn’t mind knowing and having a relationship with a woman who’s scary, obnoxious, and strongly opinionated. Maybe that’s why I haven’t been in one yet.
“There is no other slice-of-life school anime that I can think of that made me actually feel remorse that they were actually done with school.”
Maybe because I was still in school when watching it, but I didn’t have that feeling. It made me nostalgic for high school, at least. Manabi Straight had more of an impaact on me, probably because I watched it as I was about to graduate from college.
“What’s sad is that people like the idiot that played Kagami like a fiddle really do exist. It’s sad because a level-headed tsundere like her actually cared for a moment. It’s sad because she didn’t deserve that;”
It’s more than that too: the situation with her sisters we saw a couple episodes back, the fact that she can’t be in the same classroom with Konata, Tsukasa and Miyuki, and so on. I’m sure getting the shaft is part of her and Kuroi-sensei’s characters, but it still hurts sometimes.
“American TV reference in my dancing animu? For shame, BigN. For shaaaaaame.”
You just don’t understand how awesome Jack Bauer is (or was before the not-so-good last season).
Avplaya: “I have no idea what you’re talking about. Is this an English fansub thing (I don’t watch them).”
Maybe. Alls I know was that Tsukasa was talking about a doll with Konata (if I remember correctly), then all of a sudden nods after listening to Konata, and says something like, “Yes, depleted uranium.” A fun moment for me, to be sure. :3
“Not really, many girls do that. I always appreciate the show’s candid-ness (maybe not for Puritanical Western fans).”
I didn’t think it weird in terms of my upbringing. I thought it was weird because you don’t see that on television often.
“YES. Patti is the best gaijin-ota character ever created. Everyone should strive to be like Patti.”
I admire her opinions, just not her cluelessness in saying them~
“Because she always talk in that annoying fake kansai-ben, she act and talk like a man, watches K-1 and pro baseball, and wear pants with a shirt and tie all the time. She’s an antithesis of a female teacher model in Japan, and a lot of guy won’t know what to do with her. “
Obviously she should move to the States then. Even then, I’m sure a lot of people wouldn’t know what to do with her.
“Like Misao said, it would take a lot to get Ayane angry, and she’ll kick ass and take names when that happens. Misao is just smart enough not to cross the line.”
It’s still a “what if?” scenario for me. Since I’m like Ayane in certain ways.
“? Kagamin is never sad; just too embarrassed to say anything”
That question was a reference to Tsukihime, and I explained why I thought it applied just a little bit earlier here.
21stcenturydigitalboy: I never said that there would be no more episodes. Just that I wanted more, fool.
I gotcha. The “depleted uranium” part was Konata telling Tsukasa all about Full Metal Panic’s Mecha “Savage”. “Gero Gero” means small and round in Japanese. I think this is in the References thread in the Animesuki Lucky Star forum. I wrote reference lists from Episode 14 or 15 on, and this was before I started, thus I didn’t get it right away. You can probably any question you have about LS over there.
this conversation looks funnnnnn!
