Lucky Star: episode 5 “Meishashu” (名射手)

Apparently there was a new director? Well I certainly couldn’t tell, but if anything, I found this episode to be better than the first four. For some reason, I found the jokes to be much livelier, having more energy in their execution. I loved the MMORPG references too, which as part of Konata’s hobbies, were quite hilarious. The change in setting was also welcome, with the festival scenes that introduced Konata and company in yukatas. Hmm…I wonder if or when there will be a beach/pool/onsen episode…I guess this really only comes to mind since I can imagine how such an episode would be NOT lame with KyoAni behind everything.

Lucky Star: episode 3 “Iroiro na Hitotachi” (いろいろな人たち)

Is it just me, or is the moe-ness of Lucky Star increasing with each episode? I am so in love with Konata’s XD face. She and the twins in ponytails are hilarious as well. I know some people aren’t really finding this show a comedy at all, let alone liking it, though I find it amazing funny. It definitely has that Azumanga Daioh feel to it, only less school orientated and more random. Not to mention the characters look better (and definitely younger) and perhaps have more interesting personalities. Either that or it’s just because of Kyoto Animation xD. In any case, I certainly hope that more people will grow fond of this show as it progresses.

Lucky Star: episode 2 “Doryoku to Kekka” (努力と結果)

Oh shit I love this show. I did say it wasn’t quite up to my expectations last episode, but this episode is just so ridiculously random and hilarious! Hopefully every episode will be something like this; very random and not too dialogue heavy. I love the comparison sequences between the various characters…reminds me of my own life when you compare my day on a normal holiday, and a day on a normal holiday before a major test or assignment is due xD. The characters are exceptionally funny in this way. If this show keeps up, I certainly wouldn’t call this a letdown or a waste of Kyoani’s resources at all!

The four main characters are introduced in this episode going about everyday life as they attend their high school. One of Konata's friends, Kagami Hiiragi, is sick at one point, and her friends come over to see how she is doing.
