So, through the animesuki forums i found out there's some discussion on an article in New Type a short time ago outlining lucky star "holy sites" as a tour. Anyone know anything about this?

I LOL'ed at episode 16 especially with......[spoiler]Konota cosplaying as Haruhi Suzumiya which was TOTAL WIN! It's even more massive win when Konota switched to her Haruhi voice to bicker at Kagami. And there's lots of other TMoHS moments that are recognizable. :lol:

More moments included that I was amused:

- Yes, Miyuki's mom is quite...uhhhh.....

- Tsukasa looking like Akari from To Heart attracted the fanboys.

- Hehehe, before the gang get to visit Konota's workplace, they had to buy a Code Ge*** manga. :lol:

- Patty is introduced! :P

- The store clerks were at it again to get Konota to buy something.

- Lucky Channel has Akira's live concert event.....in a karaoke booth. Hey, I know you guys are starting to miss that place! :o

- ED sequence now has the seiyuu of Akira singing. Hey, it's better than Minoru doing it, right? [/spoiler]

Listening to Haruhi's VA's once again [in costume and character no less] had my head reeling... :shock:

You do know that Haruhi and Konata are both voiced by the same person, in both series (Aya Hirano)? Right?

No, but now that you've said it, half my head is scattered across the wall and monitor and the other half has melted onto my shoulders. My heart has gone through several attacks and i think both lungs have collapsed. Also, my feet are wet and my legs are unusually warm. and no, the ass is fine, i think.

It's a fairly Kagami focused episode this time.

Episode 17:
[spoiler]I only see 'X' marks on Konata and Tsukasa's test papers...

Minami, quit doing that. The otaku watching the show will get the wrong idea.

It's Kona-chan's birthday!

Nice 24 parody, too bad that all the work is for naught.

Kagami forgets a textbook and has to borrow one from Konata. So begins her misfortunes.

It's time for the return of the summer school uniforms.

Tsukasa uncovers a mysterious container in the fridge! (I love the animation and voice acting in this segment.)

Here's the appearance of the Nintendo Wii featured in the advertisements of the show.

A nice segment featuring the Hiiragi family. Or more specifically, the relationships between the Hiiragi sisters. This is the kind of character-defining slice-of-life stuff that I particularly enjoy.

For the Lucky Channel portion, we have a special guest that is more off-the-wall and energetic than Akira-sama.

And finally, (and somewhat dissappointingly,) the end credits features the return of Minoru Shirashi. This time he <s>mangles</s> performs the Lucky Star opening theme "Motteke! Sailor Fuku". I just want to know who are the 2 girls in the back of the bus. :P[/spoiler]

Yes... That and Kyon [in Lucky Star art style] as well as Yuki AND Mikuru were all there. [Mikuru had different eyes for some reason] but all were voiced with the same seiyuu.

The dance was downright gut busting... :lol:

Actually, that Mikuru cosplayer had a different female seiyuu (and not to mention it did introduce a character Patty).

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:[/spoiler]

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.[/spoiler]

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.
