The overall animation style is noticeably different from other episodes. At least in the beginning of the episode it seemed so. Like at 4:23, everyone doesn't look in their normal proportions... But it definitely gets better (or I got used to it) as the episode progressed.

Spoiler for Ep 8 stuff, just to be safe:

Still want that insert song that plays during the race. Got the instrumental version this time, which is just as good as the vocal version that played in that earlier episode... Is it just not released yet, like how the full version of "Motteke! Sailor Fuku" wasn't released until just last week? (I'm not requesting a link; just asking if it's merely available.)

And I don't recall if Tsukasa's worn those overalls before, but at 11:39 definitely screams Ayu.

Actually, no.... it screams a typical piece of clothing worn by many japanese (like my wife who has a few, for example). It doesn't scream Ayu as such anymore than taiyaki screams Ayu. Many pieces of Lucky*Star scream "typical japanese daily living" ... just like most slice-of-life or other series set in recent Japan. Tsukasa has worn them before (in episode 2).

If people will watch the clothing and hairstyles (as they change) on the girls --- they're most all adapted from the manga. One of the nice touches of the manga (and the anime) is that the girls modify their hair and clothing to suit their whims.
