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!
