Konata is a lesbian, and she supports Nintendo.

She could be bi. Or, on a less likely note, she could play H-games because man-juices get her horny.

or, your MANLINESS and FANTASY RELATIONSHIP with konata would be endangered at the thought of her, or any other woman, liking the vag and not the penor. God forbid!

Gladly. Some teens of her age tends to express opposite qualities to their true sexuality for the fun of it (or as a joke), and of all people this anon knows that she often jokes about straight people & turn ons (especially evident if contrasted against the other girls).

What is so appealing about this anime... the art is trash... no story... it is just there...

the characters would be cute if they were drawn a bit better...

meh...

The randomness is part of the fun. And there are people who actually like the style, so...

Lucky Star is based on a four panel comic strip, much like AzuDai, which is why it doesn't really have a huge overall plot. It's just... everyday things and conversations. Simple and easy to enjoy and whatnot.
>> butthurt !gCB7kmvi3M!!vLl
>>309498

I can see the randomness being part of the fun... but there is no way I could ever compare it to Azu, different level of anime completely( I enjoyed the art, and the dialog between the characters was somewhat witty, not talking about how to eat a certain food...). I honestly tried to watch it... about 5 eps in I gave up... for lack of anything worth while...

Different strokes, I was just curious what was alluring about it to those who are fans.

Lucky Star is sort of mediocre. Decent enough to watch, but there's lots of animes with similiar features (cute characters, slice-of-life-ish story and verbal humour) that are a lot better than Lucky Star.

The characters are probably the biggest reason I keep watching Lucky Star. If it wasn't for Konata and Tsukasa, who I find quite attractive, I probably would've stopped watching after the first episode.

Ichigo Mashimaro, in before man on the cross joke.
Proportions don't matter in this genre, just the jokes. Animation just makes it palatable, I guess. I mean, Shin-cha--... oh, never mind. I never saw that POS anyway.
Back on the subject, are dating games traditionally released on the PS2, Dreamcast, and PC, or have I fallen to a cultural vacuum?

Most of commercial date games, which usually have no adult content to begin with, are directly released to either PS2 or Dreamcast.

The ones with adult content are usually released first for PC. I suppose most of date games with adult content are in fact dojin soft products, but I might be wrong. If a non-commercial game becomes popular enough, like Shuffle!, Air or Fate/Stay Night, it will be ported for PS2 and/or Dreamcast with no adult content.

Date games and such are pretty popular in Japan because they're relatively easy to make. With some skills at drawing characters and backgrounds, ability to program (the code used is really simple) and enough imagination to write a story, anyone can make a visual novel or date game all by themselves.

What I meant was that AzuDai is also based on a four panel comic strip. It also has no real overall plot, and is rather random in its content. I'm not really comparing the two, I'm just pointing out that they are similar in this aspect.

Also, another reason I like Lucky Star is because I enjoy picking out all the otaku references I can catch. ^^;

Then again,
ATTCHD: Marimite? Probably not an influence.
(has anyone done a vector on this yet? :3)
>> Anonymous
>>309519
Ya know, I never pegged Kona-chan as someone who'd go for Marimite and it seriously made me go wtf when she started mimicking it, as the gentle, proper Catholic school girl ideal doesn't really mesh with her normal old man personality. On the other hand, the fact that she started mimicking it didn't seem out of place at all.

I don't care if Konata is straight or les just wanna say that as I recall around half the players of bishoujo games in Japan are girls. Most say they enjoy the romance in them.

As for lucky star itself I'm guessing it's the opener that attracts people.
>> Matsuoka Miu
>>309505
it's the characters. Konata acting like a dirty old man when she is a 17 yo girl is the big draw. The sarcastic I-seen-it-all way her eyes are drawn. The cute way Kagami is drawn. The cutey way her sister is drawn. Their conversations and all the otaku references they keep on dropping.

To summarize: cutely designed characters with otaku references the fans can fall over. Just look how many posts are created here and in /a about how cute Konata or Kagami or Tsukasa are.

Lucky star is a good anime in my opinion.

The whole reason I like anime is because of : 3 faces and ~Desu and this anime deliveres these in large quantities.

I am perfectly aware that this anime lacks a storyline but I am yet to come across an anime with a stable, normal storyline anyway ^_^

~Desu is what makes anime worthy watching. Besides, who cant love the pink haired girl (I forgot her name >.<), she is so sweet ^_^ <3

I actually thought that Miyuki was by far the least interesting or entertaining character in the show. She's a one dimensional know it all who has no interesting relationship or conflict with any of the other characters.

I haven't seen Lucky Star yet, so disregard this,
I cuck socks or whatever, but...

I like really, really random shows. My favorite series ever is Azumanga Daioh, and as of late, I've gotten into Pani Poni Dash. I know these type of shows aren't universally liked (Except Azumanga Daioh. I swear to God, if you say one bad word about any girl on that show, I will KILL YOU, man.), but... I love them. I spend all day with my brain on, and it's exhausting. So to turn on a show with a bunch of girls acting like a bunch of cute random morons... it's just relaxing. A world of little-to-no consequences and cuteness. Characters that aren't as fleshed out as some novel, but you grow close to and love...

That's what's great about these shows. It's not about a plot or art, it's like having fun with friends. Only they don't exist. And when it's done, you cry yourself to sleep.

...Or fap. Or just sleep. Whatever.

It's like Azumanga meets Seinfeld. Yet another little show about nothing.

I get the impression that this project is a breather for Kyoto Animation after working their collective asses off on Haruhi and Kanon '06. The animation for those series were just... mindblowing (Haruhi concert scene, where practically every audience member was a unique animation), so Lucky Star feels like a "FUCK IT WE'RE TIRED LET'S TAKE A NAP" anime. But in a good way.

Like the blatantly obvious references, the unfunny jokes, the horrible character design, the generic characters and the below average soundtrack am I right?
>> Anonymous
lol no

Although I admit the food scene in episode one was perhaps one of the worst scenes in anime, or any other media EVER, it picks up after that.

The soundtrack hasn't bothered me yet which means it must be good, and the character designs are some of the more creative ones I've seen lately without a doubt. It's not an amazing show but the bad press it's getting on here is just uncalled for.

Are you serious? That is just bad art, not creativity.

This show fails in every level.

Bad art?

It's based on a 4panel comic, that was the artists chosen style

That's the same as saying Code Geass has bad art, just because it has a unique style.
