OMG, double episode release! :shock:

I actually liked episode 17 because of the fact it focused on Kagami, and she's the girl I prefer. That second to last segment that deals with her and her other sisters lasted a bit longer than usual, but it brought out how their relationships work. It was actually quite a nice change of pace.

Moments I found amusing were:
Spoiler :
- Konota's dad and her cousins were setting up Konota's surprise birthday party, 24 style! Plan got foiled when she called that she couldn't make it! :lol:

- Konota's #1 aspiration is being a Brigade leader. That's so her!

- Manga is all fine and dandy, but when it come to light novels, Konota refuses to read them. Ahh, such laziness!

- Kagami's strings of bad luck that includes forgetting the little things. Poor Kagami. :(

- Yutaka playing the Wii and struggling badly is SO ADORABLE!

- There's an old school reference right there when Konota refers to Kagami and her sisters to the girls of Cat's Eye. Of course there are 3 girls originally in Cat's Eye so you can guess who got left out. :wink:

- Lucky Channel! Well, people complained how that segment and the Anime Tenchou guy were getting dry so let's put them all together in one segment! Bwahaha!!! :twisted:
ED sequence has Minoru doing the Lucky Star OP sequence.....by himself............*shrugs* >_<

Onward to episode 18!

You know what's interesting about episode 18? The new crop of characters who are first-years, Yutaka, Minami, Patty, and Hiyori can hold off pretty well by themselves. You can make a spin-off out those four girls. :D

Now for the amusing moments:
Spoiler :
- Animal personification of the girls courtesy of Konota! I agree that Kagami makes a cute bunny! :oops:

Though her reason for Miyuki as cow makes perfect sense! :lol:

- I agree with Konota; airheads don't even know that they're airheads themselves even if you tell them. :roll:

- Bwahaha, Kagami is taunting Konota to read a light novel, and then she spites her by staring at her. Ugh, I hate when people do that; it makes me feel dumber than usual! :x

- Super Robot Wars; Full Metal Panic style!

- If you blink, you might miss the Munto reference in the background. If you guys have no idea what that it, that's one of KyoAni's original OVA projects.

- Tsukasa: "Hey Kona-chan! What's moe?" Trust me, even the specific definition is very hazy and still up for debate. Not even Konata can answer that.

- Switch off to the new characters in gym class where Hiyori got slammed hard by a dodgeball.

- Does anyone agree that Hiyori is a yuri fangirl? Hehehe, she has sketches of Yutaka getting embraced by Minami! I like her already! 8-)

- Since Patty is a female otaku foreign exchange student, she was naming off a bunch of otaku hang outs which Yutaka and Minami had no idea what the hell she's talking about.

- 3 second rule........only in certain conditions. I believe there was a Youtube video that demonstrated that.

- Lucky Channel dealt with the usual pissed off Akira complaining how she's getting little to no air time even though the new characters were introduced at this late of the series.
ED sequence involved Minoru actually singing really nicely. Supposedly it's a love song towards Tsukasa's seiyuu Kaori Fukuhara who was wearing a wedding dress. Then came the end..... :x

Supposedly there's been rumors that those two are actually going out, and it's sort of reflected in the series itself. I guess you can make a stretch on the fact why Tsukasa's phone bill is though the roof, and Minoru not telling Akira about who's texting him.

Good to see a.f.k. catching up to the series, thoroughly enjoyed eps 17 and 18.

Looking forward to Comiket this weekend and picking up a few (god willing not 18+) Lucky Star items, including some nifty-looking holographic cards that a group is putting out.

Also, for hardcore fans of the OP, last week "もってけ! セーラーふくRe-Mix001~7 burning Remixers~" was released. Seven producers doing 5-7 minute remixes of the song. PURE GOLD.

Wholeheartedly agreed. What's your favorite? I'm basically partial to everything except tracks 3 and 5 (the slow ones), but I must say track 2 is quite hot.

I also <i>finally</i> picked up the ending theme disc tonight, and I challenge <i>anyone</i> to produce evidence that the cast singing the Doraemon theme <i>isn't</i> the cutest thing ever.

Wow, quite of bit of stuff were going in episode 19! The stuff I found amusing were:
Spoiler :
- Talking to cats and dogs in a cute voice may be all right, but according to Konota, talking to goldfish proves that you're alone. Kagami got pissed.

- Tsukasa talking about hot dogs and then wieners....uhhh let's not go there.....

- Gundam fans should have a field day with the conversation Konota and her dad had with each other! :o

- Konota's dad was hugging and going touchy feelly on Konota. Konota considers that creepy.

- Poor Kuroi! She lost her day off from getting wasted! :lol:

- I always wondered what Kagami would be like as a clumsy waitress.

- Here's a mental note, Yutaka. Konota IS NOT a good role model!

- Hmm, were those drawings Hiyori drew from Phoenix Wright?

- Hiyori tripped! *enters dramatic fall onto her back to avoid breaking her drawing arm*

- Ooo, neat; cosplayers of Edward Elric and Roy Mustang.

- Well, well! Haruhi and the gang were in the bowling alley as well as Yutaka and the gang! Guess who is winning! :wink:

- RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! It's the attack of the 50 ft. Yutaka!!! :shock:

- Yutaka: "Tamura-san! What's yaoi?" I just died in laughter!!! :lol: :lol:

- Look like Minoru is taking a trip to the forest near Mt. Fuji. Is this Akira's plan on getting rid of him? :o
God, the ED sequence is getting more and more painful. :x
