I think its 1/2 not wanting to mangle a song from a newer series that fan's may be attached too (plus a series they are involved in) and 1/2 the fact that the song licenses are relatively cheap and they want to push a character image CD with her version of Sorega Ai Deshou on it. Sure it's nice, but its out of place. If they do a version of all three renditions it will just kind of be ridiculous. Why one song and not the other two. It seems like they chickened out of it or something, like they previewed two episodes before a test audience and got the thumbs down on the endings and scrapped the idea of bad karaoke ending all together for episode 3 onwards in favour of a semi traditionall melody. We'll know by episode 4 if that's the case or not. Keep in mind this isn't me saying I don't want her to use her singing abilility, but that this is strictly speaking in terms of it not fitting the character. Kona is not Aya Hirano, and it seemed they were pushing the Voice Actor in this ending rather than the quirky character for commerical purposes. I'm sure it's likeable, but it mucks with the characters established ability. Had she been previously established to be a talented singer then I wouldn't be analyzing the ending at all. |

My take on the ending karaoke debacle:
The type of songs in eps 1& 2 is somewhat different from sore ga ai deshou (eps 3). Even if you can sing them "properly", they are the type of songs that are probably more fun to sing if we just let go, the way Konata did. For the type of songs like "sore ga ai deshou", singing it "properly" is probably most enjoyable. Then again, with the mountain of theories already proposed, who knows which one is closest to the truth. Maybe they just want to keep it unpredictable! Aside from that, the rest of the episode remains enjoyable to me. The Konata fan, ps2 duel, and the Kagami homework counter-attack are the highlights for me.

I'm kind of interested in hearing the song choices of the remaining girls. Before ep 3, I had this idea that out of all of them, it'd turn out that only Tsukasa could carry a tune. Oh well....
(goes back to puddling through the manga, looking stuff up and scratching my head).

Things I learned from this episode...
My favorite yet. Including anime references that even I know. PPD, and Wedding Peach... couldn't stop laughing after that because I saw it coming. And the "sausage and egg" pun was brilliant. ~meh~ on the karaoke, because it also sounds a bit like they ran it through the digital signal processor from hell. I think it was just a blatant obligatory self-reference, and setting up Kagami singing the next song. I can't get enough of that pink bundle of manic loli evilness that is Akira. |

Can you explain that part to me? Why did Konata say "all this talk about sausage and egg is making her hungry"?
My take on the ending Karaoke, I think the singing was off character, but give Hirano Aya some slack. It's hard enough to sing in-character; singing well in-character is exceedingly hard and I've never heard any seiyu pull this off (if the character talks and sounds like an anime character rather than a real person that is). And singing off key for every ending song is going to get stale. In short, could've been better, but I'm satisfied.

At the time of her entrance exams the PS2 was the best and the other two are just old and horrible. You can buy older game systems. The Pippin and 3DO are just 2 examples of obscure dead consoles, they could have easily used older systems (but most people would consisder even the Famicom to be better than those two).

Pretty much liked Konata&Kagami duo. (the harmony between them is just too good... konata giving punch lines for kagami wins)
the amount of puns, easter eggs etc is pretty large, but the pace is really fluent ^^ as for the ED, fankly, i disliked it for 2 reasons : -just like vexx said, the fact Hirano-san blurt her "serious" voice out of the blue is something really weird, and doesn't really suit the scene. -While i'm a big fan of her voice, i just thought that she doesn't fit the style of the song at all. (i didn't feel any smooth feeling and such). Perhaps i'm too conservative, but i couldn't really appreciate the tunes she gave for "sore ga ai deshou". (and i don't think the "karaoke effect" would be the reason, it is the voice, nothing else) and before you ask : i'm a big fan of the original OP.

Now, back to Lucky Star. Konata X Kagami is pure win for me; I swear I'm watching Lucky Star to see them taking every opportunity to have a go at each other, for the most part. Kinda like the real-life jabfests that happens every now and then on this very board. I'm sure I don't have to say who our two Kona-Kaga representatives are. Tsukasa is a pretty good foil too, whenever she appears. On the other hand, I don't really think too much of Miyuki and her gags; too diabetically moe even for me. Yuck. Anyway, I'm surprised; Lucky Star is actually getting better for me. Now it certainly seems that I was a little hasty when I said I was dropping this; I think I'll keep it for now, since it looks like it'll serve as a good midweek filler for me. Still, my homebase on the AS boards still remains the Sola forums, for now. Oh, and I'll throw this an....8. A fair enough score, IMHO. More KonaKaga, please!

The odd's of all or even 2 of those songs being used AND in that sequence are astronomically high. Note the fact that I said Gut tells me rather than anything like experience or an educated guess tells me. I'm referring specifically to a Stephen Colbert joke about not using your head to think things through and just going with the first thing that pops into your mind. So stop taking everything so seriously already. Last edited by Kaioshin Sama; 2007-04-25 at 11:48. |

Oooh, Internet drama! Can I watch? Please, please can I?!?
Oh quick post about episode 3. One of the better ending "theme" so far, since Kagami commented how Konata can "sound mature" at any time; it's certainly a little joke about Aya's talent as a voice actor. =D |
