She's also into galge/eroge & collects bishoujo figures LOL I blame her dad! He's a really cool dude, it seems
I haven't watched "Maria-sama ga Miteru" and never finished "Strawberry Panic" though (so no spoilers pls, I have only 4 eps to watch) :/ We used to have a StoPani thread too but now it's gone (well, I was the only one posting in it anyway ) T_T
Bishoujo figures, okay, but even eroge!? What the heck is the legal age for buying this stuff in Japan!? (Not that I think she got the stuff legally lol) Haha, that definition of cool must be cool to otakus and not "normal people"
. I've never seen an anime otaku in an anime, so Konata's character is highly appealing to me ^^;;. (And gosh, voiced by the goddess Hirano Aya too.)
Sorry that I kind of spoiled you! I had been under the impression that SP was one of those minority anime things that nobody (here) watched x_X. Though it's funny enough to be understood without having watched Maria-sama ga Miteru, Konata's impersonation was really superb and is even better having watched Marimite.
It was shocking when I saw those seiyuu pictures too, holy, how rare is it for all of the main cast to be that cute!?
Episode 8 (raw) is out on nicovideo, the link is here:
http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm363088 It's kind of slow (there's only like, what, 2000 people trying to load it x_X). For those that don't have an account, click the red button in the orange box, fill in: email, nickname (username), and password twice and click the first button in the next page to create an account and watch ^^;.
Edit:
Lol, hilarious as always. Today even the Higurashi no Naku koro ni DVD set, along with other anime (To Heart 2, Shuffle) was shown. And..
HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY KONA-CHAN! (Now she can go buy eroge legally o_o)
