You know, I did not think about it. I was more thinking about his suggestion in a previous lucky channel or the fact that his voice actor did have pigtails and was pictured as twirling them in one photo.
But yeah, it could be a bit of all of that (marimite (running gag?), previous lucky channel and rl stuff about Shiraishi).

Kaoru Chujo · 2007-05-21, 12:07

I've liked Hirano Aya's work, but I never knew she was this good at comedy. Her Marimite stuff and evil ojou-sama laugh were pure gold. So were her breathing, eating, and drool-sucking sounds.

The early visual cut from imaginary flower-bedecked ojou-sama Konata to the real slouching otaku Konata was brilliant, especially with Aya's grunt.

Tsukasa's expressions during her fight to figure out how to work her phone were funny, but maybe a little broader and more ordinary than this show's normal style of humor. Her crying the next day was beautifully done.

And I'll add Strawberry Panic to the list of shows referenced that were not Kadokawa titles.

Why does that just sound dirty to me for some reason.

Nemo_N · 2007-05-21, 12:44

Now I remember where I have heard Aya's ojou-sama voice: as Kahlua Marjoram in GA II.

Loved how they even changed the eye design for her ojou-sama mode and how Miyuki was able to talk to Konata so effortlessly.

Not so much a Maria reference.

It was one of the several general references (タテロール) which looks like a twin set of drills. Sebastian the bulter is another general reference although it stems from Heidi.

As for the Strawberry Panic! OP (くちびる白昼夢), Hata Aki wrote the lyrics for that and もってけ！セーラーふく

pomps · 2007-05-21, 15:57

Because she's the real ojousan that happened to go to the same school with the other three

I didn't even realise the lyrics for Motteke!SeraFuku were written. I imagined something involving a dart board or the ladder game.

Either its finals

... or the work of subbing these episodes must be getting alligator-infested swamp deep. Everyone's falling off their initial pace a bit.

"A bit"? Gawd, [a.f.k.]'s the fastest group to come out with Rakisuta subs these days, and when that happens, you know you've got a monkey on your hands.

They were basically mimicking MariMite's artstyle (which makes it all the more hilarious), just like how they totally altered their artstyle to mimic Initial D in the previous episode.

Just goes to show how skilful the animators are in adopting different artstyles on the fly (since each studio generally has a "signature style").

Cheers.

Spoiler for ep 7 and Marimite:

DJ_RockmanX · 2007-05-22, 15:08

07 is out by a.f.k. Pretty good time once again, though not quite as good as last week.

Beat me by one minute.

But yeah... it's nice having some good subs coming out sooner than they used to be. I get impatient for conversation on the episodes.

dammit its so annoying knowing its out and yet being unable to watch it..

guess i have to wait for the stream since i cant torrent.

LuckyCat · 2007-05-22, 16:41

Hmm, somehow this show is actually getting better to me; I'm not sure if the new director has anything to do with it or not.

Shiraishi's scene was great. I love how that seiyu's been typecast in Kyoani's productions. Konata doing the Marimate impersonation was hysterical. Poor Kagami breathing fire... So many good things this ep!

Risaa · 2007-05-22, 16:54

I'm definitely feeling that way too... each episode has been better than the last. Though Lucky Channel is the only thing I feel that has stayed at a stand-still (the jokes haven't gotten worse.. it's just that they use the same joke over and over), Minoru has been getting better and better for me. This episode was great for him in particular.

I hope they'll be able to keep up the improvements with each episode.. I'm slightly paranoid that they'll reach a point in which they come to a stand-still, but eh, we'll find out ne.

aorta · 2007-05-22, 17:17

I find that if I go back and watch episode one it is better because I know the characters more.

Claies · 2007-05-22, 17:19

Small thing that popped into my head: Has anyone noticed that ever since the new director came to production, besides Tsukasa getting more coverage, that Kagami started referring to Konata as "Konata-san"? She never included that honorific in episodes 1-4.

I have to wonder whether that's the director not favoring Konata x Kagami or simply his attempt to make Kagami's formal personality stand out more.

JEEB · 2007-05-22, 17:21

Shiosai, Risaa, you can count me in that bag, too (it could be because we know the characters better now, though...). Although I did like the first episodes, too, the later ones just seemed to put off the air there was in between the earlier and the next level of greatness every time another episode aired... OK, now that was over-expressed, but you get my point, right?

And I just translated the "The cornet figure of a tan-belly... When you put it on the side it becomes a figure that's lying down... When it's lying down it's even better... A cornet figure..." @ 8:36-8:40...

Somehow it just seemed funny to me if thought about in many ways...

Maybe I'm just too tired right now... LOL

Anh_Minh · 2007-05-22, 17:23

Hm... Konata's marimite was too snobbish for me.

Also, I have two questions:
- is her father a hobo?
- what does she cosplay as at work?

Boukenxha Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2005	Spoiler for ep 7 and Marimite: Is anyone disappointed that there wasn't a Sei x Yumi parody? I came into this thread yesterday and found out that they have made references to Marimite in this episode. I suddenly recall the preview showing Konata groping Kagami from behind and my heart skipped a bit to contemplate a possibility of a Sei x Yumi parody with Kagami as Yumi of course! Found out after watching that it wasn't... Yeah too bad about that, the episode is still very good. Tsukasa vs the cellphone is really cute, one of my favourite gags in the manga. And is that more of her ab-libbing when she says gomen backwards?
