I should have given some context. This is the scene where Konata challenges the Hiiragi sisters to the 'Don't Blink Challenge'.
Then she pulls a face and they all laugh at her. Konata clearly gets sad and it makes me sad too.

Japan sells cigarettes in vending machines and didn't require age verification for them until 2008. That's how Nobue Itou from Ichigo Mashimaro gets her cigs despite being 16 in the manga.

The Lucky Channel segments themselves imply the entire anime is an act so maybe all the characters are just actors and are actually just adults pretending to be high schoolers.

It's been a long time since I watched, but l still can't place what Izumi Konata's personality type is supposed to be.
When she reacts to something I can never understand what the emotion or sentiment behind it is, whether it's genuine or ironic. Perhaps she's just shut down emotionally due to growing up with a pedo dad and no mom. Which if you think about it, is kind of dark for a show like Lucky Star.
Any other characters from other anime/mango to compare her with for reference?

Come to think of it, I don't know why this show was so popular in the West, considering 90% of it is obscure references to domestic Japanese culture. Azumanga Daioh had cuter girls imo.
>>
>>282269809
>I don't know why this show was so popular in the West
Was it? Pretty sure it's significantly bigger in Japan and somewhat niche elsewhere. At least going by views of the opening on Youtube. (Japanese official upload (Kadokawa) has significantly more than the western (CrunchyRoll) even though it was uploaded much more recently)
>>
>>282269809
What's so complicated about Konata? She's an otaku who enjoys herself and likes hanging out with her friends. Kind of a gremlin but also a nice person.
>>
>>282269935
Anime people knew what it was and reposted fanart but a lot less actually watched it.
>>
>>282270001
I guess she's nice, but it felt like she doesn't have much of a personality or emotions outside of either being content or vaguely mischievous in a well-meaning, humorous sort of way. Everyone else just felt more real and alive, and I've never encountered a major character who reminded me of Konata in any other work. Made her seem unusually shallow, or just enigmatic in a frustrating, never-resolved sort of way. I guess the closest thing I can think of is the fat 2channer from Steins;Gate, but that was a very different show and he got some very dramatic development.
>>
>>282270330
She's quite robust, doesn't really have big self doubt or confidence issues or something. Just doing her thing. That's why she doesn't get moments like Kagami got with the fake confession
>>
>>282269809
shes irony poisoned i guess
>>
>>282270350
I guess that works. But in my mind there's always the question of whether that robustness is real and comes from a place of acceptance and authenticity, or an ironic front that has never been stress-tested by virtue of having a very normal, regular social life in an iyashikei comedy series.

>>282270376
yeah exactly
>>
>>282270376
>>282270437
I see where you're coming from but irony isn't quite the word I'd use for this, not sure which one though
>>
>>282270456
coping/defense mechanism?
>>
>>282270472
Kind of detached maybe
>>
>>282269809
Her otaku upbringing puts her on a different set of values than the other girls so she approaches a lot of things as if they're unimportant even when the other girls take it seriously and vice versa. This is established extremely early when she wins that track and field race and doesn't give a shit because even if she's good at it it's not interesting to her. She also is socially smart enough to know that she's weird to an outsider but uses that to her advantage most of the time to entertain herself.

If you're viewing it as some psychological issue or irony then you're just approaching it from a 2020s watcher viewpoint instead of the actual time it came out. Her type of character was much more common back then especially in these types of shows
>>
>>282270718
>She also is socially smart enough to know that she's weird to an outsider but uses that to her advantage most of the time to entertain herself.
I think this sheds a lot of light on it, thanks for the effort post anon. I'll reflect on that.

There's Umaru who is sort of similar, except she keeps being an otaku secret as she knows the shame it brings see >>282230290 and >>282226536

>Any examples you could mention?
NTA but one example could be Nogizaka Haruka in her titular series. Maintaining the outward appearance of a smart and beautiful ojou, she's secretly a diehard manga and anime otaku, caring little for anything else. Because she was shunned for her hobbies in her previous school, she only ever opens up about them around her closest friends.

Someone already mentioned Umaru, too. Also tons of side characters (often mangakas) from late 2000s, early 2010s anime and manga, whose otaku hobbies are meant to be perceived positively.

Ok, but those are both examples of characters that explicitly put up a front and hide their interests from outside view. You might as well include Kirino in this category.
I was looking more for a character with a similar "vibe" to Konata, a similar personality type, regardless of otaku interests or lack thereof.

If they made Lucky Star 2, Konata would be a 40 year old vtuber who still acts like she's 17 and be insanely popular

When you are an adult, you're supposed to get responsibilities, no free time, be stuck in a 9-5 cycle, consoom, be constantly tired and forever envious of the children's ability to not care about anything in the world and living in the present.

Miyuki is so perfect it almost makes her boring. Despite her being cute, kind, smart, clumsy, busty, and rich I still prefer Konata to her

Ok, realistically speaking, how would you attract Kagami and Konata? What would dating them be like? We know Kagami standards aren’t that high, which is great, but I feel like over time she’d get angry or disappointed at any mistake you made.
>>
>>282276245
She would probably prefer it that way considering what her hobbies becoming mainstream results in
>>
>>282283750
Konata would want an otaku buddy. Kagami would probably want you to have high grades, and then she'd put up with everything else.

With Konata you would just need to be a good looking guy who she can have fun sharing her otaku hobbies with, huge plus if you're Otaku like her.

Kagami is not too shallow so you would need to be a mature responsible reliable guy that makes her go tsun tsun a lot.

How do I become an otaku so Konata will like me
>>
>>282283750
If Kagami throws a fit, you hug her despite her protests and hold her until she melts into your embrace.
That's how you calm down a tsundere.
