Kyoto Animation has done it once again, creating an episode with awesome hilarity, high quality and the natural feel of Lucky Star that we (or I) totally love. While this episode is my favourite so far, I feel it was probably pulled past all of the previous episodes with the beach/bath scenes and inclusion of more characters than usual. If you don’t know, I have this thing with the number of characters in a show (the more the better…WAY better). The jokes are refreshing and hilarious as well, incorporating many parodies once again. The most obvious one was the Initial D parody, which easily cracked me up.

Apparently there was a new director? Well I certainly couldn’t tell, but if anything, I found this episode to be better than the first four. For some reason, I found the jokes to be much livelier, having more energy in their execution. I loved the MMORPG references too, which as part of Konata’s hobbies, were quite hilarious. The change in setting was also welcome, with the festival scenes that introduced Konata and company in yukatas. Hmm…I wonder if or when there will be a beach/pool/onsen episode…I guess this really only comes to mind since I can imagine how such an episode would be NOT lame with KyoAni behind everything.

Lucky Star succeeds again, and this time utilising many comical references to other shows. My favourite is Konata’s comment about how the relatively motionless shots of Nagato in Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu being budget savers, when it is KyoAni themselves who animated SHnY (as you should all know). There were many other visual and verbal references too, such as to Full Metal Panic, Shuffle, Tsuyokiss, Dragon Ball Z etc. I’m also glad that this time they focused a bit more on Konata and her life. I really love all the real-life references she makes as well. Lucky Star is interesting and funny at the same time!

Is it just me, or is the moe-ness of Lucky Star increasing with each episode? I am so in love with Konata’s XD face. She and the twins in ponytails are hilarious as well. I know some people aren’t really finding this show a comedy at all, let alone liking it, though I find it amazing funny. It definitely has that Azumanga Daioh feel to it, only less school orientated and more random. Not to mention the characters look better (and definitely younger) and perhaps have more interesting personalities. Either that or it’s just because of Kyoto Animation xD. In any case, I certainly hope that more people will grow fond of this show as it progresses.

Oh shit I love this show. I did say it wasn’t quite up to my expectations last episode, but this episode is just so ridiculously random and hilarious! Hopefully every episode will be something like this; very random and not too dialogue heavy. I love the comparison sequences between the various characters…reminds me of my own life when you compare my day on a normal holiday, and a day on a normal holiday before a major test or assignment is due xD. The characters are exceptionally funny in this way. If this show keeps up, I certainly wouldn’t call this a letdown or a waste of Kyoani’s resources at all!
