Th issue of Comptiq Konata is reading. Which weirdly enough has a Lucky Star comic in it.

Spoiler:

In the scene where Konata is messing around with her computer (for most of the holidays), I swear I've heard that music, or at least a close relative of it, somewhere before. It's so familiar, but I don't know where I've heard it from or if my brain is playing tricks on me...

There's one thing I've been wondering about -- the reference in the OP song to "Catch and release". If it has a meaning similar to what it means in fishing (you pull a fish out of the water, and then put it back in alive), then it is an incredibly disturbing reference.

This ep was a lot better than the 2nd one. I loved the Gunbuster theme and referrences. The nod to Haruhi was funny, too. BTW, how many people are in Kagami and Tsukasa's house? Do they have 2 older sisters?

I also liked their non-school clothes. Really cool looking. And how many times did Minoru appear in the real show? From what I observed he was in the show at 6 minutes, answering the teacher, then 15 min 30 sec, standing in the background, and then he was the waiter at the karaoke place. I think he was also in the 1st ep at the "grades board," the guy looking disappointed when seeing his grades.

[Question]

What the fuck. Over 1000 posts and its only episode 2. This thread is going to be huge.

Its probably been posted in this thread, but 4chan is absolutely blasting Lucky Star.

This pic sorta explains why :



Which is kinda funny because Konata is basically Anonymous.

Still, any moeblob anime where the main character is a loli that plays h-games is a must-watch for the first few episodes at the very least.

If you've looked at the previews from the books, it's no surprise Aya Hirano will watch/read something with her on it.

It's actually pretty funny.

Spoiler for eps.2:

And those eps. 2 screencaps...... I see a serious lack of Miyuki in those. >_< !!

[Shiroth]

Second episode was great, probably more fun-fun then the first. People who didn't enjoy the first episode might find this one a little bit better.

Kona-chan's day isn't a shocker, but its made of so much LOL. Same goes for the arcade scene & Kyoani's version of Virtual Fighter 5. Also, it looks like we'll be getting a different ED song each time --- hope they all appear for sale.

As for episode 2 I just I just watched the first minutes and Lucky Channel part (great stuff indeed like in the first ep... maybe Akira-sama need to clean her ears more often )

Some quick av. for the first part

Spoiler for Avatars for 2nd episode: Kagami:

And that's all for now, because I'm planning to watch only the subbed version from now, AND this thread it's a bit too cramped (so I'll wait for an eventual sub-forum or I'll go for the fan creation section).

I also liked the part where Tsukasa and Kagami were thinking various jobs that Konata might've gotten. When they imagined her as a cashier at a convenience store, the way she mumbles "That'll be 498 yen" "Exact change" "Thank you come again" in a very monotonous and slurred speech is soo true wwww And Konata's "yeah I'm giving you a smile, got a problem with it?" as a McDonald's attendant wwww

What do you mean? There are only two eps aired. Do you mean the ep1 is better than ep2 or another way around?

[Vexx]

Or it could be that both episodes are very good.... or that the first one is more subtle than the second.... or that the second is more accessible humor... or that we need to hear more Kona-karaoke

[dahl_moon]

Out of the foursome, love Kagami the most (see avatar, thanks Woland!). Sure, Konata is who's the most interesting and makes the story move forward, but Kagami is one most

Yay! Proper raw is out.

Spoiler for For episode 2:

Hirano Aya wins this episode too, though. She shows so much variety in Lucky Star, it's amazing. Favorite quotes: "Drill is a guy's ロマン(ideal? Never could find out a good English word for this. I wonder what a.f.k. will translate this into)!" and "It's $#@AAA..."(in the store).

Spoiler for Lucky channel!:

Akira-sama can't read LOL! And one word for Kyo-ani. Aren't you guys using waaay too much detail with Akira-sama toying with the ear wax? It looks extremely fluid....

Tsukasa, gets up at noon, and goes to bed at 9pm? Don't you think 15 hours of sleep is too much, girl?

[WanderingKnight]

Spoiler for episode 2:

This episode was funner than the first one, since it dealt more with Konata's otakuness. Still, I found myself losing a lot more dialog from the raw than in the first episode, so I'll need to watch the subbed version to give any final conclusion. But yeah, this was fun, very fun. Specially Konata's golden week days and her possible jobs (sswishswishswishenssu xD). By the way, could someone completely fluent in Japanese tell me what was exactly Konata's job? ただのコスプレ... what? I didn't get the last word.

The mods need to make a forum ASAP just for Lucky☆Star before it gets too big. 1000+ posts for just the first two eps is way too much.

I especially like the beginning part when they compared Tsukasa and Kagami life in the hours of the day and Tsukasa sleeps until noon. I also like the part when they played that beating drum game in the arcade (not really sure what that game is really) and the UFO catcher.

I thought that Konata was working in a maid/cosplay cafe part-time.

I'm not completely fluent, but her job appears to be cosplay

close...
she is a

Spoiler:

cosplay waitress

Hard-core, huh?
Consider Konata's petite size, I would imagine she would be a hit amongst a certain type of customers...

[WanderingKnight]

Well, yeah, that's the initial thought that crossed my mind, but I swear I didn't catch anything like that... well, that's what I get for not using my headphones when watching a raw.

There are a few already finished shows in the current series section at the moment. Perhaps the mods will make new ones after moving those subforums to the old shows section.

Of course, this is just a guess on my part.
