Another series by Kyoto Animation. I heard of this anime when I happened to see the opening on youtube... and I found it irresistably cute and awesome, maybe even Haruhi ED awesome. I had to watch it over and over.

EP 1
My thoughts after EP1, there's only 1 word to describe it - MOE, and lots of it. I don't care if it's just some shallow cute moe comedy, I'm so watching this XD
Haha, I read like the 4 chapters that're scanlated, and I must say it's quite silly. Dl'ing.
Edit: haha, it really is Moe. They extended some of the 4 panel stories quite a bit in the anime.

I'm going to wait for the afk release for now... though im not really interested in the series. There's a lot of hype for this series in other forums and in IRC, so hopefully it'll have something fun to offer.
Yea, I was totally unaware of it until I read some people talking about it in lurk yesterday. It's not slapstick comedy, its more like a melancholic, quiet, cute and uh, Moe series! It's quite captivating in that sense.
I believe there is a lot of hype for this series because of KyoAni (Kanon, Haruhi, etc) and Aya Hirano (Haruhi's seiyuu).
I tried to watch a trailer on youtube and had to close it after merely 2 seconds... ouch. Personal dissapointment.
No doubt many will find it good, but just not my type of series. Even if KyoAni is behind it. I'll wait for their next project finishing Lucky Star, that is Clannad.
Tastes like... the impression of Azumanga coated in thick icing, then dipped in sugar.
First saw the opening on youtube, then read the first four manga chapters, and now, today, I saw the first episode.
Not much else to add other than: chocolate rolls and/or cream puffs should be gripped firmly at the opposite end of where you're eating it to prevent leakage.
Addendum: Upon watching the episode, again, I'd have to say that the Lucky Channel bit at the end was probably my favorite part, what with the host breaking character, and all.

KIMOCHI~II
I'd rather see Kagami's voice actress do an ending instead. You can see Hirano Aya whenever you want.
Seriously, whats the deal with balsamic vinegar?
Did [a.f.k.] stopped fansubbing this series?
We are 2 episodes behind now.
a.f.k. does seem to be focusing on Zetsubo Sensei instead. I checked out Guerrand's version of 17 and 18, and they're pretty good, font color is an annoying red, but the translation seems good. There's not really any karaoke either, but we all know the lyrics by now.
If you can't wait, give them a try. You can find it on Tokyotosho or Baka-updates. I'd include the links, but the eps 17 one wasn't working for me.
Some say patience is a virtue. Some say it's torture. And yet some say there's no difference between a virtue and torture. You can only imagine what Konata would say.
Episode 17 - a.f.k.
Episode 18 - a.f.k.
Torture in my case..
*download*
I laughed so much during the Lucky Channel of episode 17.
And Konata was playing Wii. I wonder if Nintendo paid them to make some "publicity" for them..
*goes to watch episode 18*
Stare ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, episode 18, nothing much, we discovered a new character who draw her friends in perverted ways, and some other side characters who I don't remember the names.
During the ED, I thought it was the man who was wearing the bride dress at friend, I was scared for a couple of secondes..
As for the preview of episode 19, What the hell? Konata's dad.. nude.. My eyes! It burn!

Finally! I miss Konota.
During this pause I had already forgotten how crazy a series this is...
Full metal panic reference with Arbalest and Venom AS'
Overrall good.
17 was absolutely fantastic. I loved the Super Robot Wars reference with Full Metal Panic (pure awesomeness just right there), and the Lucky Channel and ED were downright hilarious. We all knew he was going to sing that song eventually, hahaha.
I'm tired of waiting for AFK to sub lucky star, so I will watch the sub from another fansubber.
Episode 19 subbed by JEEP.
Episode 19 subbed by Gerrand Anime.

And AFK comes through finally:
EP19: http://a.scarywater.net/afk/%5Ba.f.k...19.avi.torrent
Konata's dad keeps rocking. That man never lets you down.
Also, they seem to give pretty much screen time to Yutaka and her friends. I guess to get more variety. It has been 19 episodes already, after all, and to be honest the settings in this series are quite limited by default.
