In-Depth Postulation of Esoteric Logic in Lucky Star Eps. 1+22, As Applied to Konata Izumi

Many of us remember watching the first episode of Lucky Star and the sense of utter confusion that ensued after it was all said and done. I don’t think any of us were expecting to have to check our brains at the door from the start. Of course, the story went on in an atypical, sporadic, punchline fashion while the characters were expounded upon more and more in a most pleasing and somewhat predictable fashion. Azumanga Daioh anyone? Let’s not go there. Anyway, that roundabout conversation that episode one was introduced with of was quickly left by the wayside in light of many of us believing that this would not occur again in later episodes. As Lucky*Star draws to a close, I would like to take this time to look back and speculate upon this pivotal episode that may have been lost to those who would rather watch anime on a casual level, not that there is anything wrong with that.
