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

Summer uniform! =)

The ED made my Valentine's. Not sure if that is a good thing though. =(

I think a lot of shows have beach episodes, so I'm not sure it's just Azu they're copying in that regard.

Anyway, it seems Kagami's swimwear is different here than in the manga. But in exchange, Miyuki's not just one big mound of hair here, so it works out.

I wonder if all the girls actually wanted to know about Miyuki's long and involved explanation of beach-related hair damage, or if a certain one is just basking in that stereotypical aspect of her. :D

Now I'm imagining Konata entering a bathroom with a bottle of shampoo, and soon enough, you hear: "Yes! Yes! YES!"

The only part bout this episode that i really liked was the Initial D reference. But other then that, it wasn't that great. Honestly i don't see how so many people love this anime, every time i watch an episode im hoping it ends as fast as it possible can, i guess this series is just really not meant for me. The references are just kind of stupid, there is no plot line, the characters go on and on and on about silly little things for half of an episode damn near and the animation is a complete turn off. No movement what so ever. This might be one of those series in rare cases that i may end up dropping.

The Initial D scene was hilarious, the animation and the music was perfect for that moment. and I can't believe that they even referenced a shampoo brand!

Yeah, I like the racing bit. The English dub has those two guys sound like some of our race announcers. The song's really fitting, too.

And the scene after is oddly appealing, too. Her just kind of blissfully gushing to Nanako-san (one of the few times she's referred to using her given name) about how
her driving isn't inducing carsickness in her... as the car sits near the edge of a cliff and Kuroi is trying to figure out how to get where they want to go.

Air Chair? I find a brand of hydrofoil water skis... is that it?

Her story reminds me of Osaka's: the way they tell the stories is better than the stories themselves. I mean, the denouement is that he says "Danzen! Futari wa Pretty Cure!"? They're at the beach; too bad it wasn't "Makasete Splash Star".

Such a pretty sequence...

And actually, that means she's getting a stereo experience of the ocean's sound, right? ;-)

I don't know about trash bin; I mean, if the only thing wrong with them is that Inori can't wear them anymore, then hey...

I've seen the 1960 live action version of A Dog of Flanders, but no animated adaptations. (Man, if Minoru means the one from 3 years before I was born, that is pretty dated.)

Unsurprisingly, Tsukasa has a really cute singing voice.

Heh, Konata singing backup. It took a few iterations to realize she was singing "TSU-ka-SA" in that one part.

See also Azumanga Daioh, where they go with two. Three years in a row. And also where one of their teachers is almost always called by her given name.

One thing that may contribute to Konata doing so is that Kuroi-sensei uses her given name as her username in the MMORPG they both play, so maybe they're familiar enough that Konata feels she can do that. (Especially one who seems to have taken some medicine preemptively, though it turned out she didn't need it...)

I liked the part where Tsukasa put the seashell to her ear, only for that insect or whatever it was to scuttle out. And of course Konata missing Miyuki's trip, how could she be so cruel as to do that to her though? :P

Well this show's at least keeping me interested. For me it's not up there with Nichijou and Azumanga Daioh but it always seems to put a smile on my face and sometimes gets a laugh out of me. It's a shame that a lot of the references are lost on me (I don't know what Konata was referencing when she was scaring Tsukasa at night) but fortunately it doesn't detract too much.

Normally this kind of show would get a 6 from me, but the cuteness and that awesome OP bump it up to a 7 for now. It's a feel-good show though so I'll certainly be sticking with it. :)

Lots of good moments, the drive turning into a racing game, the usual beach episode / furo scene stuff, Timotei, beach bar food & so on.

The end song was very good as well, I had to look it up to get the full version.

Alright, the moment I started watching this show, I thought it's not something I can binge-watch because the humors are okay, and not hilariously remarkable, and all they do is talk. I'm like one of the biggest fans of Monogatari series, alright? So, there's that I love dialogue heavy anime, but this one doesn't appeal to me.

I'm dropping this show. I thought this show is gonna be like Nichijou, but it's not.

Dropped at 6th episode. 6/10.

Man, I LIVE for these Initial D references in other anime series. I haven't even seen the original Initial D yet, I should do that sometime... I think this was the best such reference I've seen yet. I really liked the karaoke ED this time a lot.

To each their own, I just don't find it funny. If it was 12 episodes I'd finish it but not 24.

That fast dialogue is so annoying, especially in those Lucky Channel parts. You need to pause the video all the time, because you just don't have time to read the subs.

Wow I sure do love being a young woman watching an anime about young women. The experiences they talk about are so relatable. Surely this is made with the intent to be relatable to young women like me and is not for men to ogle at teen girls.

Oh boy. I love these kinds of episodes where the cast goes away from the school to have fun at a beach or something. Reminds me of Azumanga Daioh. Especially with the teacher driving lol. Tho not really as funny.

I lost my shit at the Initial D parody. And I didn't even watch Initial D. Censoring the number plate was funny enough. But this skit took it to the next level.

Lmao. Nanako still thinks Narumi is single. This shit is so funny for some reason. I hope she never finds out lol. ]

Timotei... Timotei... TIMOTEI! Lmao. I figured it was a shampoo ad. But I didn't think it'd be THAT old. Where tf did the author find these?! The fact that the reference isn't quite the same as the ad I saw on YT probably means the author actually watched it a long time ago and developed a false memory of it. Or I'm just reading too much into this.

Were... Were Kagami and Tsukasa talking about their periods...? This anime makes the most random jokes. One time they're doing silly 80s anime references and next they hit you with stuff like this... And they're uncommon enough to take you by surprise every time. How old is Konata? Good question. Maybe she is a Time Lord. So she's neither too young or an old geezer. I loved the scene with Tsukasa with the seashell.

Man, I'm starting to feel bad about Minoru. Having a boss like Akira must be hellish. Also, why are they introducing the main character now? Isn't it a little late for that? We already know who they are and their gimmicks lol. Hold up, Konata is SEVENTEEN?! Yeah, there's definitely something wrong with her. Maybe watching too much anime stunted her growth.

I just had to look up the song Tsukasa sang in the ED. It's just so beautiful. Idk why but I really like Showa era songs. It's not just city pop. I think I liked pretty much every Japanese song I heard from that decade. And yeah, I've really become addicted to the OP now. It's a classic for sure.
