They might be able to do a Crossbone Gundam reference though without having to censor, but I don't know.
Also Konata's dad didn't say anything because men aren't allowed to talk anymore in these kinds of shows (Why do you think Akira gets annoyed everytime what's his face says something). He should be grateful that he was allowed to even appear in the episode and should remember his place.  |
Aside from Keroro Gunso, all other Kyoani works and Initial D, I wonder if all the anime/manga/light novel "references" presented in Lucky Star through the anime, manga or CM's are popular enough with the anime group. For some of these anime I didn't get these references until I actually looked them up (eg. Strawberry Panic's "Kuchibiru Daydream")
