But for Lucky Star, you'll probably have to have watched almost all the old animes, or do some long ass research to find out what they're parodying or referring to lol | ||

Easier to just read the manga and pretend the anime doesn't add anything. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + (the toptitles were literally added in by a.f.k. from the manga plot) (as an aside, the perry plot was fucking genius, i don't know why shaft decided to make up new dialogue) (as another aside, kuusou rumba is still my favorite OP song ever, only topped by its own rap version) also the first episode of ZSZS animated the gag cover flap of volume 1. who the hell does that? shaft. fucken' shaft. | ||
