It's here! Our third and final pillar! Or... is it? In this installment, our Fun Finders are joined by an intrepid expert of the KyoAni oeuvre (and Lucky Star in particular) @no_stunts AKA our friend G, AKA the Fandem Mandem, AKA the Hound of Barkerville. Join us three in our discussion of what is undoubtedly one of the most important shows to the modern era of otaku culture, let alone anime, let alone slice-of-life anime. But... is Lucky Star itself actually a slice-of-life? Or is it just a tiresome pile of references and in-jokes? Who the hell is that guy in the mountains singing Hare Hare Yukai? And did Yamakan deserve better? (No.) The answers to this and so much more lie within! Get involved! Tap in! Link up! Grab that sailor uniform!!!

Between two cours of 12 episodes each (That makes 24! Keifer Sutherland reference...?) and an extra-special OVA, we had our work cut out for us on this one! Another 4-hour extravaganza awaits you, dear listener. As such, peep the chapter selection timestamps below:
