Hmm...

- New Year's Festival + visiting the Shinto temple
- I have a feeling that Tsukasa would somehow screw up the ceremony.
- Kona's obligatory cosplay comment on the twins' miko makeup.
- New Year's eve cleaning. Konata does a lot of it while Kagami does nothing. Konata's dad becomes fixated to a certain shelf...I guess it could be where he put Kanata's funerary urn.
- Kagami rests on Kona's head. Careful you tsundere...you'll squash the little one.



- There are no more good ending songs after Doraemon no Uta. That is all.

well, that's too bad....:(

In this week's LS.....

Winter Comike Time !! Doujins, Doujins and Doujins !!

Of course, there no lack of such a material as follow there....

Oh....how will Kagami react to it....

Hummmm.....

First, I am VERY happy that Animate Tencho and his crew reappear this episode. What can I say; I want their manga series animated!

Second, we have a very interesting Lucky Channel... It was not what I was expecting.:heh:

What's with that obasan voice for all the background characters? Old, young, male, or female .. it's the same voice >_<.

It's Sugita... wtf (in a good way) LMAO

Also Seki's Animate character is back as well!

Looks like a fun episode...if I could download the torrent. Delta Anime is down. OTL

^Oh. I thought it was just me :p

I'm watching this on nicovideo right now. I wonder how Kaoishin will react to the comiket scene, given that

Okay I'll do this in highs and lows style, just covering the Comiket sequence.

Highs:
-The Otaku being portrayed accurately as cosplayer wannabes and disturbing nerdy, fat and sweaty fanboys
-Konata being in her element and all the other girls being either creeped out or in Tsukasa's case outright terrified and lost.
-Seki Tomakazu taking Sugita Tomakazu to school in a hot blooded screaming contest as well as punching him in the face and subsequently into a wall (Instant 10/10! Yeah I said it, but I have been waiting to see this guy get his faced punched in for so long, and now it's Domon Freaking Kashuu doing it).

Lows:

-Every single person seems to have the exact same voice that sounds like Freeza from Dragon Ball Z and its really unnerving and unnatural
-Every single product shown is from Kadokawa Shoten, which at a con as large as Comiket is far to unlikely to be a coincidence.

And that is all.

hahahaha!! kagami? she will most probably go into "dere dere TABO!" mode :heh:
tip...dont provoke him O_o

Just watched it. Great episode, even without subs.

Kagami's "curiosity" :love:

Great episode, especially dealing with the Comike part. Well what do you expect, the episode was written by Gatoh Shoji again wwwwww

Some parts I noticed:

Konata's dad saying the first three syllables to "Pikka pikka no ichinensei" (A Japanese commercial referring to how kids entering elementary school are an important step in their school life) as he was cleaning.

The Rinkai Line to Ariake Tokyo Big Sight

Ouch-cars wwww

The 500mL PET bottle drink that Konata gives to Tsukasa and Kagami during the pre-Comike briefing is Koiwai Milk & Coffee

Wallet size, just like Comike, perfect enough for stacks of 500 yen coins and 1000 yen bills, which is average price of each book.

The doujinshi that Kagami bought for Konata: "Nurunuru Danchou-san" (Wet * Wild Dancho [Haruhi]) and "Ikenai Kanchou-san" (The bad, bad Captain [Tessa]) wwww

Tsukasa being lost and her mobile phone being useless because of the mobile phone repeater stations in that area are over-loaded. So true, so true. This is one of the first mistakes a beginner makes at Comike. In Comike, mobile phones are useless. If you want to communicate, get a handheld tranceiver (not one of those cheapo FRS/GMRS walkie-talkies, but those prosumer ones made for DXers by ICOM and Yaesu)

Konata talking about Harumi (the previous location for Comike...over 12 years ago).

The hotel for the Harumi Comike, Hotel Urashima www That hotel is also known to be haunted in some rooms. Very small, very expensive, and very hard to reserve due to Comike.


Kogami Akira indeed makes an appearance...but in the most unfortunate way wwww

Chihara Minori wwww

The otaku who's getting pissed off that Nagato's trading card is all sold out looks exactly like Gatoh Shoji wwwwww

If you look very closely at the background characters at Comike, you can find the Miyakawa sisters, Hiyorin, and even Soujirou. You have to be extra attentive as they are only there for a split second and it's kinda like "Where's Wally?"

Anime Tencho vs Animate worker Sugita www Sugita's impersonation of Amuro from Gundam (ku..nanika, bukiga nai noka?) is really good!!!



ED Theme: "Makenaide" by ZARD. Perhaps it's Kyo-Ani's way of paying tribute to a great singer whose death came upon too young, too soon? May she rest in peace.

BTW, this song is very beautiful, and uplifting. I know at least two people in my life who decided to not commit suicide at the last moment as they remember this song (never give up, just a little more, c'mon lets run until the end). It's very sad that her life was cut so short with such a tragic accident...


Now you know what Gauron means when he says "Aishiteruzeee Kasim" (I love you Kasim!!)
Kagami was so moe~ when she picked up that doujinshi. Her first step into the world of BL wwww


They are all voiced by Kujira (American anime fans would understand as "the voice of Orochimaru in NARUTO"). Why? Because it's cheaper to have one veteran voice actor/actress do all the background characters than hiring a different person each and everytime. The other voice actor who does background male character is Tachiki Fumihiko.

Yes, it's Seki Tomokazu. The running gag is that:

• Animate worker Sugita (voiced by Sugita Tomokazu)
• is holding up a trading card of Kyon (also voiced by Sugita Tomokazu)
• decrying how trading cards of Nagato (a character of Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu) and even Koizumi (another character of Haruhi) are selling more than his
• while Anime Tencho (voiced by Seki Tomokazu)
• is holding a trading card of Sagara Sousuke (also voiced by Seki Tomokazu)
• decrying how Sousuke's trading cards has a huge inventory for the past three years while Taisa-dono's (Tessa from FMP) sold out on the initial run

Actually, if you go to Lucky Star's website you actually see an ad saying that "just as Anime Tencho and Animate worker Sugita said, we have plenty of inventory on these two telephone cards! Please buy!!" wwww

Why do ya'll waste posts wondering what Kaoishin will think? That's far more annoying than just waiting til he posts his thoughts on the episode. Maybe I should start counting the "what will Kao- say?" posts and tally the "Kao-fanboy" results? :)

Kona, as a fangrrl, has been buzzing for her favorite convention all summer. Of *course* she's going to go.

Ah man, this has to be the best episode in a while. I mean the previous few episodes weren't bad, but this one sure is one of the better episodes.

Other notes (links=images=spoilers, images courtesy of Random Curiosity):
- Akira makes an appearance int he main show! Except... all is not right...
- Konata finally wonders if her teacher hasn't got a boyfriend or something, considering she's online so often...
- Konata's dad visits Kagami & Tsukasa's shrine with Konata. But whether he came to pray or to look...?

Well... what do you expect...


Is it just me, or does that look like Rena from Higurashi on the poster in the back?

Aah, Kagami is ADORABLE when she gets flustered! XDDD

I had the same thought... It looks just like Rena. I stopped watching Higurashi because the suspense in the series scares the crap out of me. :)

I knew Akira was gonna end up screwed with her first "appearance" in the main show. :heh:



I think she is.
