Personally in real life, whether or not I end up liking a particular girl rests on three personality traits; for lack of better names in my memory, I'll call them "fighting spirit", "feminine self-awareness", and "reliability". However, just having one or more of these personality traits in abundance isn't enough; it is possible to have TOO much of any of these three traits, causing me to be turned off instead. Let me illustrate;

~ "Fighting Spirit" - how well a girl deals with being teased. This is important because how the girls responds to being teased indicates both her intellectual capacity and her mental strength, and consequently how much I'll enjoy her company. Too little of this trait means she's the type who is easily cowed, and therefore I'll find her boring since she doesn't "fight back" when teased. Too much of this trait basically means she's a bitch, and who likes bitches?

~ "Feminine Self-Awareness - how aware a girl is of her own feminity, and thus her own emotional needs. Too little of this trait means she's a tomboy, and I'm apt to treat her like a good friend, one of the guys...anything BUT a girl. Too much of this trait means she's so saccharine-sweet, I'll only be left gagging from diabetic overload.

~ As for "Reliability", since it's kinda hard to deduce this quotient of personality from the 4 Rakisuta girls based on what we've seen (and are likely to see for the rest of the series), I'll just base my preference on the remaining two traits.

So, giving each trait a 100-point rating, ranging from -50 to 50,


Konata:
Fighting Spirit ~ 30
Feminine Self-Awareness ~ -45

Fun as heck, but I just can't see her as a girl. She'll make a pretty good friend, but that's about it.


Tsukasa:
Fighting Spirit ~ -15
Feminine Self-Awareness ~ 20

Bland. Imouto-type, but nothing particularly outstanding to me.


Miyuki:
Fighting Spirit ~ -30
Feminine Self-Awareness ~ 50

ACK!!!! WAY TOO MUCH SWEETNESS!!!! WAY TOO MUCH MOE!!!! WAY TOO MUC- *dies*



That leaves.....

Kagami:
Fighting Spirit ~ 30
Feminine Self-Awareness ~ 25

As far as I'm concerned, when it comes to tsunderes, Kagami's the perfect blend. "Tsun" but not too "tsun", and "dere" coming out at just the right moments, she's my pick between the four. :D

I wonder who has more supporters... between Miyuki and Tsukasa? :heh: The two of them seem to get the least attention in the episode threads.

As for my vote... well, I think it is bloody obvious to most people by now. :heh: Here's something that I wrote a while back.

Source

:D

First, very nicely built poll (though a bit early and lacks the tier 2 characters) -- points for the pics and not just names.

I went into this series being a Konata fan... but seeing Kagami animated and voiced each episode has drifted me into Kagami's camp. Though a certain someone I know looks more like Konata -- she *acts* more like Kagami which biases me.

Seriously this is poll of the trivialities... of the 4 choices they're all quite entertaining... though Miyuki really gets left behind a lot -- keep an eye out for when more of her attributes are animated (hint: hand her a game controller). Tsukasa has been a submarine hit with all her little side comments and whispers.

It'll be interesting to rerun the poll after Nanako and Yui get more airtime (I suspect Nanoko may draw some attention at least). And depending on how they handle Konata's mom ... she could shear off some numbers :)

I'm voting for Konata.

I like each of the four main characters in there own respected way, though Konata is the one i enjoy seeing more. Her solo scenes are genius, with great humor that works on screen, as well as the manga.

If i wasn't voting for Konata, then it would be the lil' button Tsukasa.

I'm sorry to offend all you tsundere fans, but I'm gonna go with Konata. She's just so random, yet so clever, and we have so many things in common... (wait, isn't that actually something dangerous!? :D) And I usually tend to favor a lot the less "normal" characters. Kagami... she seems too normal to me. She's like the "voice of reality", the one that anchors Konata and the rest to the world. She reminds me too much of Yomi of Azumanga Daioh, and she wasn't a character I particularly liked. Though she's a bit more facetious than Yomi (and definitely much cuter) she still has this "normal" feel to her.

I know, I'm biased towards wacky characters. In AzuDai, Osaka and Tomo were my favorites. And now I've gotta go with Konata.

Konata all the way!!!!!....and not just because she has blue hair XD

....I wouldve voted for Tsukasa as the runner-up...She is too cute and her actions remind me of myself somehow...(really liked her in episode 5!!!)

I like Kagami as the common sense ^^...(you cant have too many goofy-charas)

but Miyuki....ehmmm...nahhh..too unrealistic...I don't really like characters that are discribed as perfect-humans...she can be cute but still I can't really pay attention to her character development (I forgot her name a few times ^^")

I'll still a wait a few more eps before voting, I'm not too sure right now.
What I don't get though is why so many of you favor Kagami, as Wandering Night said she's got more of a "normal" feel to her, I don't find her particularly interesting.
Miyuki, being the impersonated moe cliche is a bit too much for me. :heh:

Right now it's a tie between Konata and Tsukasa but I get the feeling that Tsukasa might win if she gets a bit more screentime. ^^

Kagami is anything but normal. :heh: As already discussed in the episode threads, Kagami is only "acting" normal, but her "wavelength" is actually more in tune with Konata than what society (Japanese in this case) would perceive to be "normal".

Part of the fun in the K&K dynamic is that Konata is aware of Kagami's inner "deviant". :heh: Kagami's archetype is very varied at this point. To pin her to only one or two archetype(s), is to ignore her other character traits.

Cheers.

It's Konata for me. Her personality is fun. How she teases Kagami is hilarious. That she's also an Otaku is also fun. Her appearance also wins. Wouldn't want her as a girlfriend or anything, but she is certainly my favorite in this show. Miyuki is a 2nd for me her up and down movement in the OP got me hypnotised. o_O Actually Kagami is also a good 2nd, since she more personality then Miyuki. How she reacts to Kagami is also hilarious. Tsukasa is just meh imo, she fails to impress. xp

She herself is denying many of her own character traits...which in my opinion makes her quite the normal human being. :heh:

I love Kona and Kagamiya both, but at present moment I'm loving Kagamiya more. My entire cellphone is Kagamiyaified, and my desktop has both Kona and Kagamiya on it... Though, if Kona weren't there, Kagamiya wouldn't be my favorite (we'd never see her teased)...


Awww Tsukasa's such a cutie, I'm glad she got a few too.

Konata for me! She's the kind of gamer/otaku girl that I can relate to. Not that I'm as obsessed as her ... really... >.>;

In the poll they have over at the sos-dan image board, Tsukasa was the one with the least amount of support; Though in here, Miyuki might be the one that ends at the bottom.

Wich would hardly be a surprise, btw. She has been given less than 10 minutes total in the last bunch of episodes, hardly enough for people to like her....... or hate her for that matter. :heh:

But dont worry Miyuki, I am still here for you. :D

EDIT:

Oh yeah, out of all the main characters, Tsukasa is the one at the bottom, but the one less liked there is Akira.

I love Miyuki, she's really cute and intelligent. She always be here (here, with me :3~) for you. But my vote is from Konata, an otaku-mastah/master, she's better than me, she can study all she didn't do in two weeks and me can't :heh: . She's the Shana's clon, her moeness is incredible. She's my idol.

Of course its the girl me. I mean Konata of course, though Konata kind of got replaced with a different character last episode, an imposter if you will. I hope she's back in full form next time.

Poor Miyuki only one vote sniff!!! :(

Seems like Kona-chan and Kagami are on top of the list! On another forum Konata has more votes than Kagami, Miyuki and Tsukasa. Definately only a otaku moe girl can win over a tsundre moe. :heh:

But Kagami has followers too...but Konata is uniting the flat chested girls. I think I know who's gonna win :P

For me, it's Kona-chan all the way. Her wit and otaku-ness simply bring her into a completely different level of "amazing" when it comes to judging the characters. It also helps that I can relate to her in many ways (although, I don't know if that's a good thing or not....:heh: ) I guess I'm just a sucker for the more otaku types. :o

I'm currently wafting hither and thither between Konata and Tsukasa.
Barusamikosu...

Btw Akira should be added to the poll. I bet ya she will get more votes then say Miyuki and Tsukasa. Eventhough she's a side char. She deserves to be on the list. Though I'm still Konata all the way. :3

I was actually kinda thinking the same thing. Akira is my second favorite character, too. :love:

Konata for me. Her otaku-ness far outpass anyone, and we have a lot in common (I consider this a good thing). That and she seems to know the perfect time and words to tease kagami, who would be my second favorite character on LS.

Without looking at the results yet, I predict:
Kagami > Konata > Tsukasa > Miyuki
…in terms of popularity.

I personally like Tsukasa the most so far.

It seems Konata is the one still leading as of far...

If ever Akira will be involved I think she's gonna be the 2nd top character. I also think we need a multiple voting for all characters when all of them are introduced in the anime. :heh:

I'm not sure about Akira being the second top character... there are lots of fans of Kona and Kagami, and there seem to be a few people who really dislike Akira-sama. But you never know ne. :3

kagami all the way ~ with kona comming in close second O.o

why? it was love at first sight :heh: (and im a sucker for her types :3)

:nod: what can i say...i love my moe so its Miyuki for me ;);)

Sorry, Konata. My vote's going to your secret lover. (No, people, I will never ever shut up about it.)

The best part about Kagamin is how she pretends that she's so much better than Konata, but she really isn't in terms of emotional stability and interests. A clash between conditioned responses and hobbies, if you will. For her, it's a lose-lose situation, as Konata freely exploits this fact in teasing while she constantly denies it.

If anything, she's the least normal one in the show. I think Konata realizes her place and gave up with hiding herself. It's great how she manages to tease the soft, vulnerable parts of Kagamin out of that hard shell.

Konata: Because she cracks me up... simple as that. =D

Even though I like Kagami a lot, I don't Kagami think would have the same personality (or probably won't be as "tsun-tsun") if Konata isn't around. She'll just be the bossy slightly older sister. Heheheh...

I think the two are one of the better tandems in anime lately.

Aaaghhh, making me decide between Kagami and Konata!! How cruel can you people be!! (T^T)

I'm going with Kagami. When I first started watching Lucky Star I liked Konata but only later do I realize that I like her because I see ME in her...and Kagami is always there to put Konata back into place. LOL

Kagami! Even in the 4koma(before the anime aired) I prefered Kagami over Konata. Must be the eyes.

Konata and Tsukasa are bothmy favorites, they both are so awesome an cute. Konata reminds me of me somtimes and same with Tsukasa.

I still haven't decided.

I went in expecting to like Konata best, but for a while she was nothing but a walking series of otaku cliches--or so it seemed.

After seeing Miyuki in action for a few moments, I wanted her to be the favorite, but we just didn't see enough beyond her "bag of moe/walking encyclopedia" modes.

Kagami, well... I've never cared for any tsundere type without seeing a good personality behind it. Which is just now starting to come out.

Tsukasa... Eh. Seems empty-headed. While there might be more there, we don't see it. Moving on.

So, basically... I haven't seen enough of the characters to begin to decide. For the most part we haven't seen their characters so much as their character traits bouncing off one another. That's something I noticed changing in episode 5. Hopefully we'll see more of that, and I'll be able to decide. :)

Tsukasa is my favourite =D She's cute. That's it.

.... Poor Miyuki, she appears less than other main characters in each eppisode so I don't give her much attention. She isn't my type either.

Putting it into fishing analogy, for me Konata was the bait and Kagami was the hook. Konata being an hardcore otaku gave me some point of reference in the show, as she's into many of the things I am as well. And many of the jokes (particularly the otaku ones) start from her. Without her, I probably would've dropped the show at eps 2/3 like I did with other shows like this (PPD, Azumanga, Hidamari, etc.).

HOWEVER, its Kagami that makes this show truly enjoyable for me. Yeah, there's her phsyical traits that I find cute, like her eyes and her hair (tied up hair isn't really my thing, but the way her twin tails gets parted by her shoulders certainly is a unique aspect of her). But that aside, her being the voice of reason (and thus providing most of the 'punch' lines) in this series differentiates her from the other girls. She also has the widest range of emotions out of the girls, being the only one to have both cried and got angry if my memory haasn't failed me. All of this makes her stand out from the other mains, as she feels more real than any other character.

So in short, I was a Kona fan, but somewhere along the way I turned into a Kagami fan.

This took me longer to figure out than I would have thought. Konata was my initial draw to Lucky Star and she's still a very memorable character, but Kagami just barely beat as my favorite. Too often, Konata seems like a walking stereotype while Kagami feels like a more fully developed character.

Dragoon's post seems to be a common refrain for many Kagami fans :)

She looks more like a walking anti-stereotype to me. You wouldn't expect 15-year old girls to play eroges, right?

Touché. I hadn't thought of her as an anti-stereotype and concede that is a more accurate description. Her interests sometimes make me wonder if she's truly a long haired, short guy in a sailor fuku. I think some of her actions in episode 5 have put that notion to rest.

Still, I have to give my vote to Kagami for now. Though, if I could vote again, I suspect my vote would flip in an episode or three...

My name says it all. And yes, she is my favorite anime character of all time. I showed interest from the first time she showed her interests, and episode 5 has totally solidified my love for this character.

Konata's funny, quirky, sarcastic and is indifferent in showing, well... her indifferences. It breaks stereotypes in that there's this girl who's a hardcore otaku/gamer. She's probably that rare girl who most guy otakus would probably die in order to have, because the odds of having a girl who's really into the same hobbies as them is pretty rare. I'm into anime and know more than just the casual fan, but I have never been so dedicated into my interest as she is.

Another thing that I love about her is that she is more than just an otaku/gamer. This is proven in episode 5. Like in episode 4, I really like how she can tolerate much more crap thrown at her. While Kagami usually freaks out or gets depressed over the things that Konata says, Konata just usually gives Kagami a :eyebrow: stare. Yet, when Nanako chastises her somewhat for not doing homework, she makes a comment about how Kagami chastises her at school every day. Also, she shows interest in guys and her attempt to flirt with the guy was pretty awesome.

I am also starting to become a fan of Kagami, partly due to the Konata-Kagami interactions, but in episode 5 Kagami shows signs of being a more interesting character. The fan scene shows this side of her very well. There's more to Kagami than meets the eye, and I would love to see this aspect of her character chipped away and explored (and even more if Konata is the instigator).

I really hope that in the end Kagami and Konata become three-dimensional characters instead of solely being portrayed as stereotypes, but then again, this is an anime which relies on humor to attract viewers in lieu of a good plot. I also hope that Tsukasa (though she has shown a little in episode 5) and Miyuki become more than just 'lol filler characters'.
