It's funny to me because I have noticed several USA fans not realize that in Japan Azumanga Daioh WAS for otaku. It was marketed as such and published as such. Dengeki Daioh is a seinen publication but it is also otaku material.

Well, it's not like I wasn't under that impression, but LS is even more so with the constant anime and gaming references.

Overall I think non-otaku can enjoy Azumanga Daioh more than they can enjoy Lucky Star.

Yes, Lucky Star is definitely one of the most otaku shows made. There is a lot of inside jokes and such for that segment. There's a lot of Japanese centric jokes too. Timotei is an example of a very obscure reference. The show's target age will basically just barely remember that.

Personally I don't think this show is something that will be anywhere near as popular in the USA. My own entertainment would not be so high if I did not have the otaku background and did not have some Japanese friends.

Gotta say that scene with Tsukasa trying to figure out her number was gold ;p

Episode 8. It's been leading up to it. Any bets?

For some reason, I don't find Lucky Channel that funny. Maybe it's just me, but it's definitely not my cup of tea.

I get a chuckle out of it sometimes, but usually I don't find it all that funny either ;p Most of the gags that get me are in the show itself.

Episode 9. Sports Festival Time!

Some highlights:

Spoiler :

Lucky Channel has some nice amusing moments this time. And surpisingly, Minoru doesn't die this episode (although he sure seems like he has a death wish). LC isn't still quite the same caliber as the main show, though.
