We see how each of the girls spent their week long vacation in varying ways and then how they deal with the test that awaits them at school.

Impressions:

This show continues to amaze me, I absolutely love it. I’m not going to go into a huge rant like I did before. If you want to read my rant about how people just blatantly say this show sucks and how they are narrow minded idiots who can’t look past their own pre conceived notions of what every single god damn anime has to be, read the post on the first episode of this show. As far as this episode itself, it was absolutely hilarious which is the only thing it’s trying to do, and what it needs to be to be a good show. This episode was much funnier then the previous episode. I was laughing very hard almost throughout the episode. It’s just the small random things that are funny, but the amount of them just makes it funny to watch throughout. I loved things such as the talk about the dentist with Konota saying how it sounded like it was made for guys with pretty receptionists and drilling robots, and then all the talk about what they would do to make it better. I just thought Konota’s remarks were the funniest to everything, the way she viewed and thinks. I loved how the two sisters were talking about Konota getting a job, saying that its most surprising someone hired her then it is that she went and took the initiate to get the job. I still think Konota is like god. I would marry her if I could and am currently planning on how to make a shrine for her awesomeness.

I loved how they shoed what each person was doing at the same time with the split screen. I think it was a great effect and just made the comparison to what each person was doing much more funny and well displayed instead of what most shows do if they are showing simultaneous events just showing one after the other. It really showed how one was working while the others weren’t. Not that I expect them to do it much, nor do I want them to, it doesn’t fit everything after all, I do hope they do this again for certain moments because it was very funny seeing Konota just playing a video game throughout the whole thing while Tsukasa worked and tried to plan out how she was going to do things.

I still thought Lucky Channel was pretty damn funny. Although, honestly I wouldn’t want an entire episode to be the kind of pace and tone that Lucky Channel is. I think that that might get a bit too annoying and overbearing to be enjoyable, but the way it is now is just great. It’s just a bit of a burst of something random and silly like the regular show is, but still a little different. It’s a great supplement to the show. Most of the charm of Lucky Channel is solely on Akira, and I’m sure if it was a setting of something different then a kind of idol talk show or question bit as long as Akira was running it, it would probably be just as enjoyable because her rather schizophrenic ways are pretty interesting to watch.
