Well, this episode wasn't as funny as the ones before. I'm a tad disappointed to be honest. Liked the Initial D stuff and the serious talk between Tsukasa and Kagami was something new, I liked that, too. But the rest was a bit weird. Even the Lucky Channel wasn't as hilarious as it's usually the case. Hope next ep wont be like this.

But the Karaoke ED was great, best part of this episode for me.

i didn't get this reference either, but i looked it up and apparently there's a shampoo in japan called timotei...konata was mimicking one of the old commercials for it...link below for anyone who actually cares...

i liked this episode...then again, i always like the "go to the beach" episodes in anime...wasn't as good as the previous episode, but it still feels the same to me...more random conversations with the occasional reference and me chuckling every once in a while...this episode also inspired me to watch initial d...it looks exciting...lol...

It was an alright episode. Still enjoyable. I loved the FMP and Pretty Cure references. I have nothing else to add. Next episode looks good. Looking forward to it.

I really enjoyed this episode. I thought it was pretty funny. The Initial D skit was hilarious as well as the references to FMP and Pretty Cure. And with Yui, I'm just like her, I really hate getting passed too. Although I don't know the reason why, just mentally I really hate getting passed. Also the part where Konata usually gets car sick but didn't because they were stopped most of the time instead of driving was pretty funny as well. I also liked the part where Konata is explaining that her inner tube and school swimsuit choice is to appease the people with "special needs," then Kagami points out that those people don't go to the beach ... BURN! Dammit, I'm with Konata I wanted to see that soap prank too :P. In addition, the ending karaoke was funny too with Tsukasa singing and Konata providing the background vocals while Kagami telling Konata to essentially STFU =D! Anyways, I'm looking forward to the next episode as always.

I feel like I missed out on a lot of references. At the very least I got the one on Initial D (even though I haven't actually seen it), but I know I missed the one about the shampoo (like errrr how am I supposed to know about that :P I couldn't even find that particular scene Konata mimiced in the link above :P ), then there's that mandom (errr?? :S ), the thing about running towards the ocean in a loincloth (though that can be just a random anime thing) and there was something censored during the "ghost"-story telling.........

......I feel like I'm watching Hayate no Gotoku all of a sudden o.O (Which isn't necessarily a bad thing :P )

^lmao...yeah...that commercial wasn't the one that konata mimicked...i don't get the reference either but i'm guessing that some other timotei commercials were different...what i find kinda funny is that when i watched that video, there was only 2 comments...now after ep 6 of lucky star aired, there's a bunch of comments about lucky star there...seems like a bunch of other people searched for timotei as well...heh...

I'm not sure why the overwhelming thought process for this episode was "alright" o.O I kinda loved it, actually. ^.^;; I'm the odd one out it seems, since I found the episode rather hilarious. Particularly Yui's interaction with the teacher, and Kagami's interactions with Konata. "Event flag!"

I have to agree. What will Akira do? Kill us in our sleep? Nah, she wouldn't do something as psycho like that. Unless she has Kaede from Shuffle with her. Yeah, i want a Kaede psycho moment reference.

On to the episode! Yeah, the last one was slightly better. But this one still amused me. Timotei!

There was a pretty cure reference? I think i know what it was...i don't watch that show. And i really need to start watching Initial D. I have Volume 1 of the DVD waiting for me. But i'm too busy with Lucky Star and Witch Hunter Robin. ^.^

Even though the episode was just alright, I completely fell in love with Tsukasa during all this. Somehow, the (first) part with the seashell reminded me of Haibane Renmei. I really don't know why =3

And then that Karaoke! gwaah <3

But i liked this one too, tsukasa singing Valentine Kiss/with the seashell was lovely.

heh, the beach scenes felt like something I've seen before honestly. The whole crazy driver teacher scene taken straight from Azumanga Daioh's Yukari, and the whole tube thing taken from Tenma from School Rumble. And I kept seeing familiar scenes here and there (Yui = Kurosawa-sensei, Nanako = Yukari-sensei) but oh well. Lovely obligatory swimsuit episode ^^.

oh and haha, three girls have hair long enough to cover their entire bodies. ^^


btw, did anyone get where teh ED song was from?

I thought it was kind of funny how Tsukasa held that shell up to her ear to hear the ocean when the ocean was right next to her. I laughed at the way it kind of defeated the purpose. The crab was an added bonus.

Actually, it should be from Prince of Tennis. And the name isn't "Valentine day kiss", it's just "Valentine kiss" or ????????????, preformed by Suwabe Junichi (Atobe Keigo).

"Timotei!"

Freakin hilarious. I think I used to do the same thing as a kid. :D

EDIT: For people not in the know, Timotei is basically a shampoo and they had cheesy ads in the 80s and 90s. I just loved saying the name. "TIMOTEI!!!"

I just noticed Kona-chans moe, and i find it very cool, also her hairdo was cool but should have been mor highlighted. Really liked the background art, and how konata interrupts the mood of summer by crying out loud summer. The scene with the sticky butt was kinda hentai but i liked it. I love how Kona prepares her prank on (pink girl) and misses it. I never thought lucky channel was really funny but im beginning to like the akira and shy guy everytime more. And also the ending theme was good. Yep Lucky Star is really establishing itself well... wonder if there is gonna be any romance in the series though...

The scene in the bathroom was funny, although I don't really like scenes where characters are naked, because it really restricts the shots that are available, and you end up with a lot of boring shots of people from the shoulders up. If Konata really wanted to look at Miyuki, she could have just asked her to turn around. Its funny that she was just acting out her little H-game fantasies. Also, when the twins were talking about 'that' and then Konata pops up and says "that was a candid conversation"

I also loved the Lucky Channel in this episode, where the shy guy says all the stuff he did for Akira, going to the mountains and the beach. I especially liked 'the gum was hard. I got all 54 pieces into my mouth'.

With the Initial D parody, the also subverted a Azumanga reference I was expecting, that Yui was going to drive crazy, and then she's an amazing driver.

Also, a slight 4th wall break when the girl listens to the shell, saying, "I can't think of anything funny to say." The bug in the shell was priceless.

Good episode. I liked the menstruation conversation, and Konata liking how blunt it was. It's weird that they're supposed to be 17 and yet have such boyish figures, although, the art style isn't supposed to be realistic. It's moe all the way.

Lucky Channel is different now, Akira is wearing short sleeves, so that they don't go over her hands and flop around like before.

This episode seemed like a bit of a copy of Azumanga Daioh, with the teacher and the cop.

Didn't get many of the references, but I still found it funny.

The Driving part was hilarious! also when she kept scaring them.
but half of these anime references i haven't seen yet, so i might not get the jokes like most of the people on here would. But it's still funny either way.
