Beyond the midpoint lies other characters. The beef of LS to episode 12/13 was Konata vs Kagami, with a mix of Tsukasa and Miyuki. Incoming characters…. this is brief.
I’m feeling that LS isn’t as much of a comedic spectacle as say Azumanga [ or Sukuran ], but it is more artsy and OO (otaku-oriented). The cameos and inferences to other series are many. The mainstay of the experience are definitely culturish, art, moeXtsundereXkawaii characters, Lucky Channel, etc, but not the typical stuff (genre conforming blends).
Atypical if anything, LS isn’t revolutionary (even though Konata’s animated hand talking gestures are fab), but its enjoyable, entertaining for moments, and not heavy. It’s questionable whether new characters will have any sort of interesting mingle. My assumption is that they won’t be major players, of course. The four main characters are subtle as it is, and side-characters along subtle characters… it’d be faint. So what’s the point? Shiraii fits an interesting slot, as he is the “bipolar’s advocate” on Lucky Channel, but makes quaint appearances amongst the class routines. Fang-sensei, Yue, and others have nice rolls, but other classmates, dunno. What I’m not expecting is Sukuran’s amazing character depth, which was blissful for soo many great roles and characters.
Oh well I say, enjoyable anyway.

LuckyStar really has that sub culture appeal to it.
I think deep inside I watch it more so because of what they say then how funny what they say is.
It’s kind of amusing when I sometimes identify 100% with some of the things Konota does.
Like staying up browsing the interweb like crazy. ^^
The way they throw in some little things like for example when Akira started talking gaming lingo. ~
I play games ~ but damn I was so clueless ~ she really stole the show with those few lines. ^_^
