I just watched the opener on the YouTubes. I don't think it's going to catch on like the Haruhi. Judging from the opener, the show doesn't have the mass appeal of Haruhi. More importantly, the opening song isn't catchy. Some fans out there will definitely learn this and be huge fans. Most people won't care about Lucky Star or its dance. You definitely won't see flash mobs doing this one. That's my prediction.
For that show to be actually be passable, good, and 100% better on the first 2.5 seconds a huge giant monster have to step on all the loli-like characters so they can be gone for good. It does not need to be bloody, I would just put them there as a shadow comes down to them and then a cut seen to a X( face and a slash or mash sound, then the next seen would be a giant robot/monster cleaning his foot onto a building like nothing happened. And then to save the day The Crusher Joe and The Dominion Tank Police guys unite forces to cleanse this horrid abomination. Please Japan no more moe! NO more moe!
I have read the wiki and you my good sir might be on to something. But alas the character design! Why Japan? Why ? I mean they are suppose to be high schoolers. This show is definitely suppose to appeal to J Otaku.
Wow and the first episode only came out on April 8th, (edit) and look at the submission date on the stepmania video... that means that they did all that the first night it came out O.O (/edit) I don't want to go to far here, but this looks as though Scott's predictions may be *gasp* wrong ^_^
And for the record, I think the opening song is pretty catchy myself.
I was also pretty leery of the show since it looked like nothing but a silly moe fest. However, I was pretty sure my favorite anime blogger was going to be watching it and if his witty commentary could make Zero no Tsukaima watchable it could probably make this one ok too. I can't say the opening impressed me that much, but the opening gag of the show just had me chuckling more and more and I ended up enjoying the episode a lot for just the humor. If slice of life comedy is your thing I'd recommend checking it out.
I have watched the second episode and ... Well, on the second episode there was 75% of otaku commentary, 10% of slice of life , and the rest was pure moe.
But I am sad to say that what the next character says is ok with me, so I am not hatting it as much as i did before:
also
And Getter 2 (she was imaging a getter as a dentist)
If they are only using Getter Robo to appeal to me I WILL CRUSH THEM!
