Yeah, the so-called "dorama" from a bunch of peeps thinking that KyoAni has "betrayed" them by giving them something that's actually "below par". Sometimes people can be so spoiled.
Did these people even do any research on Lucky Star when it was announced that KyoAni was adapting it? I would assume that it would be pretty clear that this series would be a departure from KyoAni's previous anime productions in style and content. Based on the source material and comparing it to other anime, Lucky Star isn't 'below par' (which, in golf, is a GOOD thing), it's about average. The animation is good, with a decent amount of detail and movement (not counting the over-the-top OP), and it has simple, clean and appealing designs. I've seen anime with much, much worse production quality.
I suppose there are people that only want KyoAni to continue making the same anime(s) over and over again or stay in a narrow range of genres. It's like expecting/desiring that every Adam Sandler movie is going to be another
Billy Madison or
Happy Gilmore.
Is it wrong for the people in KyoAni to want to stretch themselves and stray out of the bishoujo/h-game-based/light-novel categories that they have historically done work in?
And is it just me, or are the main girls all left handed (or somewhat ambidextrous)? Tsukasa and Kagami use chopsticks left-handed. Konata used chopsticks in her right hand for a scene, but was holding a mechanical pencil in her left hand as if she was writing with it. Miyuki and Konata held the ice cream cone in their left hands as they ate it. And Miyuki was using the slicer in her left hand while holding the potato in her right (think about how you hold them when preparing food). Of course, Miyuki is a klutz, so her being right-handed and using the slicer improperly is a possibility.
