I guess I shouldn't have also watched Azumanga Daioh first, since some of Lucky Star reminds me of Azumanga Daioh now (and not in a good way.)[/b]

i am trying really hard not to compare the two since the style of humor is much too different (and i would love to find something as funny as AD, but that just doesn't happen often for me) but i do love the lucky channel portion. which reminds me more of FLCL actually. cant figure out why... maybe the squint eyes and pink hair of Akira.

[color="#9932cc"][font="Microsoft Sans Serif"]For me, there was just something oddly relaxing about this show. No world to save, no "OMG THIS BOY HATES ME BUT I'LL WIN HIS HEART" drama, none of that. Just a rather relaxing, good natured, good humored show. Being able to see myself and my friends in the characters probably helped a lot, though, I will admit.
I'll also admit that it's definitely a polarizing, love-it-or-hate it series, especially considering I went from hating it to loving it. [/font][/color]

that is kinda encouraging.... i really should at least give it till the 10[sup]th [/sup]episode before dismissing it. and i was watching it when i was half asleep... and that might have taken some of the edge off.
as for cuteness... i have seen much cuter, but really after watching the over-the-top figures of Gundam 00's girls, any change up makes me happy. however nothing tops Chiyo for me...
EDIT:
just finished watching [i]under the red hood[/i].
it was best batman movie since Mask of the Phantasm in my opinion. the animation was excellent (save for a cheesy 90's 3D car chase thingy) and the story was a good one. i was kinda afraid of how Joker would sound since Mark Hamill didnt do it... but Bender did a great job! John DiMaggio makes a good brutally sadistic supervillan and i hope he keeps with the character.
