The amazing thing about Lucky Star, to me, is that it’s an anime ABOUT animes. Inside every one of us, we see a Konata: the otaku who always spends too much on their passion, immersing themselves in a world that everyone else deems as “nerdy”, and loving every second of it.

Lucky Star connected with me because I can not only connect with Konata, but also because I can connect with the references. There’s a certain magical feeling to watch our favourite anime featured in another anime.

Mroeover, another aspect of Lucky Star is the very witty dialogue and utterly random scenes and discussion: it’s like The Simpsons of the Japanese anime in that sense.

All that and MOE.

Despite the moe element in this anime, it seems that people who do not watch a large amount of anime (read: some of my friends) are unable to understand Lucky Star. They end up wondering why it’s so random, and lose interest in it after watching an episode or two. I for one, think that Lucky Star is one of the most interesting anime I’ve seen this year, for the fact that they expose (or rather, mention) a lot of anime/manga/games industry issues/facts! I like that :X

*wonders if I should get Lucky Star books 1 and 2 in Chinese from Kino*… It’s too complex for my not-very-Chinese mind to handle X_X; (The language, i mean. I would take like, a few minutes to finish reading 4 panels, i think.)

Woo. Did i go offtopic. X_X;

Reading over Kaioshin Sama’s comment again, I don’t really see why he’s so up in arms.. Defensive because people are getting to excited/enjoying this ‘easter egg’ too much, and not appreciating other types of creative advertisement?
