Your pick.<br/><br/>Doremi was horribly literal, and by literal I mean to the extent of Ayako's Sky "Learn Japanese in 20 minute episodes" Girls. Lunar has a thing for subs that sound like English. But I could be wrong, and the subs not affect it at all.<br/><br/>Also, Lucky Star was all about random everyday talk and incidents in life that you could relate to. I don't recall randomly dancing in cheerleader uniforms with my friends like ever, but you get the idea. :P It depends which you prefer, really: TTGL is all about what mecha usually does; Bokurano is all about what mecha usually doesn’t.

Doremi was horribly literal, and by literal I mean to the extent of Ayako’s Sky “Learn Japanese in 20 minute episodes” Girls. Lunar has a thing for subs that sound like English. But I could be wrong, and the subs not affect it at all.

Also, Lucky Star was all about random everyday talk and incidents in life that you could relate to. I don’t recall randomly dancing in cheerleader uniforms with my friends like ever, but you get the idea. :P

Still a bit shy of the genre.<br/><br/>sola's soundtrack is pretty great all-around, I would agree. I watched using Lunar's subs myself, but I don't know how much of a difference that makes - I'm not aware of any big translation discrepancies, at least.<br/><br/>And are you saying the Lucky Star OP digressed if only because it was so ADHD it couldn't really be related to anything? XD Hmm, Bokurano’s unlicensed, so I may be in luck; although, I was saving my maiden mecha-anime voyage for Gurren Lagann. Still a bit shy of the genre.

sola’s soundtrack is pretty great all-around, I would agree. I watched using Lunar’s subs myself, but I don’t know how much of a difference that makes – I’m not aware of any big translation discrepancies, at least.

And are you saying the Lucky Star OP digressed if only because it was so ADHD it couldn’t really be related to anything? XD

This one is "family", but told in a style more depressing than anything Key could ever muster since people actually die in this thing.<br/><br/>The song is fitting as an OP due to its rather morose reflection on life before the BIG INCIDENT that happens. It's highly recommended -- my #2 anime of this year, with many a tear-jerking moment. Think of Lucky Star's emotive moments, amplified somewhat to the strains of a mecha's battle groans and heartbreaking classical in the vein of School Days' OST.<br/><br/>sola's ED was great, as was the soundtrack. I'm wondering at this point if a rewatch with Lunar's subs would do me any good (I saw Doremi's), but eh.<br/><br/>Your observations about School Day's OP is spot on. I can't recall any other OP at the moment that digressed that much from the spirit of the anime, bar Lucky Star, like it did, but I guess we all forgot about that one in the midst of sex, sex, more sex, and the Nice Boatâ„¢.
