Well, the Lucky Star anime has wrapped up a few months ago and I find myself missing not having another new episode to view. This has been one of the oddest and strangely entertaining shows I've allowed myself to become subjected to in quite a while... Strange for me anyways as it's not a genre I'm usually interested in. It also has to be the 'feel good' anime of '07. The secret? It all lies with the loose humor and sheer quirkyness of the characters that somehow makes this work.
Some spoilers to follow!
Episode 22 of Lucky Star: As per my last pic post here, Kanata Izumi's spirit desides to pay a visit to her home to check up on her daughter, Konata, and husband, Soujiroh. I was waiting (more so hoping) to see something like this since first finding out about her death. Of course, I didn't expect a series such as this to get too complex with details surrounding it. Still, it was fun to see this happen and how it was done. Kanata was a bit dismayed by her husband's enjoyment of dating sims rubbing off onto their daughter, but was overall pleased by how well they both get along with each other. She felt she could truely be at ease.
Also, at the end of the episode when Kanata decided to sneak into the family picture, I thought that to be priceless. To their horror they see a shadowy figure in the photo with them. Considering they were both talking about her prior to that photo, they'd have to be a wee bit suspicious of that. ^_^
