It's finally Christmas for me! Merry Christmas to all the viewers! Lucky Star was one... random Anime for me. I guess Anime like Azumanga Daioh are moderately funny. But one thing I was hoping that Lucky Star would have was yuri moments. Instead, they gave semi-funny Akira-crazy moments. I guess the best part of Lucky Star that I liked was when Akira sang "The Cape of 30 Years" or something like that. I mean, there were too many portions of Lucky Star in each episode; they never really stuck to one topic. And well, the song that Akira sang was totally awesome and her first song she ever sang in this show :) If you want the song, go here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zwgzlmdjmg1

Bet you never thought of this way of giving presents? Yes, I am aware that today is Boxing Day but I won’t consider this twelfth and final entry in this year’s “12 Days of Christmas” retrospective (sponsored by the Anime Blogging Collective) to be very late since I got some of my presents, including a new [...]

One show that earned a fervent following in the blogosphere was Lucky Star, the one show that I’ll forever remember as The One That I Was Surprised To Enjoy. By rights I should have hated it but for a number of reasons (which I’ve outlined not once but twice and concerning a matter I’ll examine [...]

How do you insert something heartfelt, even serious, in the middle of a show dedicated to jokes–and otaku jokes at that? You do it the way this year’s Hirano Aya/KyoAni lovefest, Lucky Star, did it in episode 22.  This post is brought to you by Owen’s Collective Farm the Anime Blogging Collective.

Rating: 8.5/10 Impressions: Ah- gomennasai! I totally forgot to take any screen shots while watching, so all I can manage is another pathetic 6-screeny post…I was just about to do Lucky Star 13 too, until I realised I hadn’t done 12 yet. Anyway, this episode is definitely one of the better ones, mainly because it deals with [...]

Lucky Star’s a good example of exploring relationships in microcosm. Only an episode ago it discussed ideas of being a single woman in Japan, now it goes for another dynamic: A daughter-father relationship. Konata and her father are extremely close, owing to the fact that Kona’s mother passed away. Having only a male parental influence, [...]

Akira gets face pwned. I have been crazy busy this past week with work and so on and I fell behind. But I’m back now.

After episode 10, Lucky Star has returned to being pretty marginal. Also the level of self-promotion from Kyoto Animation is annoying the crap out of me. But the show is sort of marketed toward their fan-cult, so I guess it makes sense. The Animate dude from episode 10 reappeared here, but his [...]

Konata loev yaoi! Wow, FMP yaoi, well played KyoAni, well played. So Lucky Star has actually been pretty decent lately, there are still a lot of scenes that don’t come near to anything I would classify as funny, but the counterbalance of funny scenes is stacking up pretty well. Awesome-kun is awesoooome Most of the funny scenes seem to [...]

"Recruitment" It’s that time of year again – festival season! Well, the Comic Market festival. Meh, semantics. It’s boring to go by myself – somebody go with me! Miyuki-san, it’s really fun!
