Lucky☆Star Ep.24: Cheerleader Dance & Prediction

It is a sad day for otakudom. Moetan records the news of the final episode of Lucky Star having aired. However, already a significant clip has hit YouTube. Check it out. It made me sad.

I personally think cheerleading could be fun and passionate with the right people doing it along with you. Lucky Star proves this with the entire cast (minus the adults — though that would have been amusing to see Konata’s father in a cheerleading outfit as he is shameless enough as it is) performing the energetically cute, show-stopping OP theme dance.

I could grab the RAW right now if I wanted (and probably understand the gist of what is said), but I’ll wait for the sub and make a prediction. My prognosis on the episode as a whole is that I want to believe that Lucky Star will go out with a bang like Suzumiya Haruhi No Yuutsu, but I don’t think that’s Lucky Star’s style. Aside from the dance, I predict that it will end like every other episode has — believing that the next school day will come like always.

Despite that thought, I have actually become attached to this series in a way that can be compared to a month of summer camp with complete strangers, and by the end you want to cry because you have to leave them. That’s my feeling for Lucky Star right now, especially in regard to Kuroi-sensei.

I wonder if others feel the same as I do.
