I don't expect Lucky☆Star to be a KyoAni masterpiece, or the best of the season, or even a personal favorite. It's just a simple filler project to pass the time, give their staff a break, and save up money to make Clannad look really, really good. But hey, it can succeed as mindless fun, which is fi...

When watching this series, I think it's important not to expect something like Haruhi or Kanon. This is mostly like Kyoto Animation's idea of letting their staff take a break in between big projects, since they've got Clannad coming up. It's a nice idea from a business standpoint; let staff take a b...

I think it's got arguably the most bizarre and daring promo video out of all the new shows of the season.

The source material looks pretty funny too, from what I've seen. I don't expect too much from a 4-koma adapation, but so long as it's amusing and makes me laugh I won't be disappointed.

Sure, I had them all typed up and compiled for another forum anyway... I basically just took down everything spoken by Ayu's dream voiceover. Sub was done by a.f.k. Episode 1: (scene: little Yuuichi crying against the sunset in the forest) Dreaming... I'm dreaming... A dream I have every day... A dr...

After knowing the ending, rewatching the series gives a new way of looking at all the Ayu monologues that appear in episodes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 11, and 12. It's pretty awesome.

Hey, I like your idea! Good luck with it! For female leader, I suggest Sophia Forrester of Last Exile. She's got the total authority look down in her officer's uniform. I especially like the scene in the opening where she's shouting a command to the crew with a cool arm motion. The very last episode...

Yuuichi has finally remembered, and goes rushing off to try and find Ayu. How on earth does he manage to run around in these freezing temperatures and high winds with no gloves and not have his hands freeze? Look carefully at that scene, and you'll notice that KyoAni did animate marks of frostbite ...

Flashbacks and Fillers Should probably clarify the difference between a real flashback and a mere recap. Flashbacks are a necessary part of storytelling if they reveal something important about a character's development. Kanon and Shakugan no Shana come to mind has series that show important flashb...

Well, I've long since been disillusioned about the mainstream's ability to discern well. I mean, isn't that true of pretty much any mainstream group for anything?

The ending to episode 21... *wince*

Nothing like getting slapped by brutal, cold, harsh, unadulterated reality.
