How to Measure your Otaku-ness Level

the otaku animes of animes! Lucky Star!From this picture, it just looks like any other 美少女(bi-shou-jyo)(pretty young girl?) anime but it's slightly more than that. For one, it has no plot! It's just the lives of this high school girls and as a twist, Konnata Izumi, the shortest girl with blue hair is an otaku who plays online games everyday, plays adult dating-sims and goes to comic-fests! the unbelievable amount of puns and parodies made at other manga/anime is just hilarious and one has to be abit of an otaku to understand it. A cousin who drives like Takumi from Initial D or the fact that Konnata can remember every single Pokemon! jokes about Gundam,etc...

But it's a seriously good anime especially for its humor. its not just about making fun of other animes but they like the question the norm of japanese culture . I like the added touch that in the 1st season where the ending themes were sang in karaokes by the 4 main characters and alot of anime songs will come out.. famous songs from dragonball or FMP comes to mind.

All in all, it feels something the producers cooked up for fans but the executed it so well that it has been quite a cult. Kudos to Kyoto productions for another good show after the likes of Suzumiya Haruhi, Full Metal Panic and so on.

and the lyrics to the song playing now :
