So what does Konata teach us about life in this episode?
- Don’t blow all your sick days on party raids. Something similar to the kid who thought it was funny to shout “wolf” in a herd of sheep, here we have Konata reeling from the consequences of ditching real life for the virtual.
- That whole “Golden Rule” thing is crap. The one about treating others as you would want to be treated – in Konata’s case, that meant some precisely selected cosplay articles for Kagami and Tsukasa – good laughs for us, bad vibes for the receiving end.
- When one speaks of summer, I think of all the classes and homework I won’t be doing – not true of Konata, where she looks forward to all the great things she’ll be getting into, namely Comiket…
- Girls without huge racks worry not – flatness is back in style!
- Cats without a body can be considered cute too…??? Looks more like an onigiri with a tail to me. What’s with these 4-koma mascots anyways? The Azumanga “otou-san” was the only one that kinda made sense…well, no, not really.
- Ever get the urge to clean the night before a test, when you’re supposed to be cramming? My room sparkles during exam weeks – seems like Konata’s and Tsukasa’s do as well! I mean, I could start studying whenever I want, I just have to start – easy, right? Oh, hey, it’s 9 pm, time to watch Desperate Housewives.
- Three hour naps at 2 am don’t exist.
- Speaking of which, LOL FANG-SENSEI has had plenty of screen time, how about the quivering police woman and the my-pace Miyuki mom? How about all those other girls in the OP?
- Galaxy Angel-rune is awesome. Someone should finish subbing it.
Lucky Channel: Segment 4 – Akira dons the summer seifuku, but while the temperature might be rising, her heart is at an all-time cold. Poor Taniguchi. One of the postcards asks Akira to try out Kagami’s twin-tail hairstyle – will we see it next week? As long as the rest of the episode is more exciting than the wait itself, I’ll be alright with anything!
cultural/anime references this episode:
- mmo’s - one of konata’s excuse for being late was because “she had to help her party member”
- bonta kun - in kagami’s room
- haruhi - konata giving kagami the “brigade leader” arm band, konata physically watching haruhi at midnight
- 2 channel - konata discussing the haruhi episode in 2 ch., complains about nagato
- crayon shinchan - konata smiles like shin-chan, then talks like him…much to the horror and disgust of kagami
- comiket - konata’s “summer tradition”
- moe drill - a trivia-based game feat. lucky star characters for the DS; ironically mentioned by kagami as a possible “alternative” for konata to use as a study tool
- student violence - konata points about how people interviewed during student-based violence/murder always mentions that “they will never have expected him/her to do it.” kagami jokingly says that if konata will ever injure/murder someone, she will say in her interview that “she definitely thought it will happen.”
