Every now and then a new anime series comes out which becomes so strangely popular it can sometimes defy logic as to why. It simply drowns out everything else out there in becoming a current sensation. Hot on the heels of Haruhi, Kyoto Animation's Lucky?Star seems to be achieving this in spades.
The best way I can describe this is.... well..... It's an anime about.. nothing. Nothing in particular, and not really any continuity of a story or plot to speak of between episodes.
hmm... Think Azumanga Daioh... which has been dipped into a vat of bubbling, pure 100% Moe.
So I was wondering.... who's been into the Lucky?Star anime lately? O.o
Who's your fav characters? Best moments? Lets a-go!
I have started watching it, and i like it alot already...
I don't need to name any characters in particular, as all of them (ALL) are great imo... Well, maybe Konata a little bit more than the others...
It's like Azumanga Daioh alright, but with a more mature kind of humor...
The simple art style is cool...
The Opening is catchy, and fun listening to btw :)
I saw your avatar and thought "I GOTTA watch that!"
Unfortunately, I only get to see anime on DVD, and it's not yet.
I've been watching the series and also have found some items out
first off it is more like Azumanga Daiohbut much more cute
also there are many anime referances (some of you might have already got them)
theres 24 episodes (which is odd for an anime)
and one more thing the manga is still going XD
After hearing so much about it, I watched it but found it boring at first. I would have abandoned it if there wasn't such an enormous buzz around it. I watched another episode, and by the time the third episode came out I was pretty much hooked. The show is like the puchuus, the cuteness will overwhelm your ability to say no.
I sometimes wondered why these slice of life anime like azu and LS had no male female interaction but my little sister was able to help answer my question. She's currently in an exchange program and attending a Japanese high school. She said that they "act like a bunch of third graders" in that the boys and girls hang out on opposite sides of the classroom and don't talk to each other. So apparently a lack of male female interaction in high school is the norm. This could also explain the frequency of anime that create uncanny situations that force interaction between male and female characters.
I find it funny at times, but I don't like it that much. It's still better than half the garbage on TV nowadays, though.

Yay, a lucky star chat. Okay, I've been away from the Excel Saga Forums for a while now but now i'm back. (I usually come back when there is a new release of Excel Saga)
Anyways, I have been into lucky star and I just watched episode 15 that came out dubbed on Veoh.com. Anyways here is what I think. I love the show. I usually download and watch it as soon as it comes out as well as with Hayate no Gotoku. The story does remind me of Azumanga Diaoh with moe 100%.
My main character has to be Konota as she is so funny the way she just plays games all night and watches anime with her hardcore anime references. But my favorite characters that I wish they would host an entire show of would be Akira?-sama and Sabastion (forgot his real name) Those two characters from Lucky-Channel are just so funny. I wish akira sama would appear in the actually show.
I hate to say but I also just love the Cop and the Teacher. They are the funniest shit ever. The best part in the entire series was the Inital D parady when the cop was racing. I :P so hard. The teacher is 26? and she still hasn't gotten a husband yet. I feel bad for her. She needs her own episode too.
I got into lucky star while browsing Veoh and I came across that crazy opening song. The opening song is so unique and filled with moe that i just had to watch the entire series. The voice actor is by the same person who did Haruhi from Haruhi Suzumiya and is by the same studio as well so you see a ton of haruhi Suzumiya references. The story is just so great. If I had to describe it I would think Azumanga plus Genshiken plus moe. That outta be a good idea for the show.
Whew that was alot of talking. i haven't ranted about such a great show since Berserk and Death Note.

Too true. When I started watching the first few episodes I asked myself why I was I watching this. Truth is, the cuteness factor grabs hold and puts you into an inevitable deathgrip that's difficult to get away from.

Very interesting. Helps to explain between what's fact and fiction with school social interaction in Japan.

Same here. A lot of this about her character seems to be influenced by her dad. Kinda makes her appear moreso a tomboy when compared with her friends. She's not at all like the clichéd female character in so many different series.
Quote from: R Kenshin on July 21, 2007, 12:18:10 PMI hate to say but I also just love the Cop and the Teacher.
lol! What's to hate in that? Konata's older cousin, Yui, and her teacher have cracked me up on more than one occasion.
Yes, Konata rules in this series.
I'm up to episode 16 now. For the first time, her friends decide to go where she works. It's kinda like a Maid Cafe except it's general cosplaying. Konata playing the role of Haruhi Suzumiya as she takes food orders was hilarious..
Konata: "You people. What do you want to drink?"
Kagami: "Hold on a sec.."
Konata: "Hurry it up. There's a penalty if you take too long! A penalty!"
Kagami: "Is this how you normally treat customers?"
Konata: "(It's how we do things here.) You're done deciding, right?"
Tsukasa: "I'll have a melon soda."
Konata: "I have no interest in an ordinary menu."
ROFL!! XD
It seems more than obvious that Konata's mother passed away at some point. What made it most obvious was episode 15(?) when Konata's dad asked how she'd feel about him remarrying. Konata, with a straight face, says she'd have no problem with it. But then there was a lot of April Fool's jokes going around in this episode which make it unclear of his seriousness. Perhaps that was his joke which seemed to backfire on him? Maybe future episodes will shed more light on this.
Not sure whether to label him as a perv since he seems to have an open preference for younger girls. His own daughter knows this for a fact and can become embarrassed over it.
Oh, and Akira from Lucky Channel is a narcissist to the very extreme of the word. AND is funny as hell being one.
^A reason? O.o NOOO! Run away from teh cuteness while you still can!! Run starcat!! =P
I'd recommend checking out some stuff either on YouTube or Veoh (my preference has been Veoh for better quality) and see what you think. ^^
Random fact: Apparently the first animation director was fired after the 4th episode. Kyoto Animation felt this director wasn't up to their standards of quality.
it kinda shows I think that he was fired after the forth episode. the other episodes have a differant feel to them.
I think I said before but I like the guys in the anime store when they try to sell to konata
^I think they refer to her as "Legendary Girl A".
They pretty much think of her as being godlike because she probably buys more stuff from them than anyone else.
Edit: Here's a few vids of them. lmao!

I didn't like it very much until I got to the 12th one, where it actually became funny.
I'd give the first half a 4/10 and the second half an 8/10. Overall, I'll be generous and give the series as a whole a 7/10.

Well, the Lucky Star anime has wrapped up a few months ago and I find myself missing not having another new episode to view. This has been one of the oddest and strangely entertaining shows I've allowed myself to become subjected to in quite a while... Strange for me anyways as it's not a genre I'm usually interested in. It also has to be the 'feel good' anime of '07. The secret? It all lies with the loose humor and sheer quirkyness of the characters that somehow makes this work.
Some spoilers to follow!
Episode 22 of Lucky Star: As per my last pic post here, Kanata Izumi's spirit desides to pay a visit to her home to check up on her daughter, Konata, and husband, Soujiroh. I was waiting (more so hoping) to see something like this since first finding out about her death. Of course, I didn't expect a series such as this to get too complex with details surrounding it. Still, it was fun to see this happen and how it was done. Kanata was a bit dismayed by her husband's enjoyment of dating sims rubbing off onto their daughter, but was overall pleased by how well they both get along with each other. She felt she could truely be at ease.
Also, at the end of the episode when Kanata decided to sneak into the family picture, I thought that to be priceless. To their horror they see a shadowy figure in the photo with them. Considering they were both talking about her prior to that photo, they'd have to be a wee bit suspicious of that. ^_^

I wonder something. Was the reason for the gap between the first and second season of Haruhi caused by Lucky Star?
Asking since after Haruhi ended, Lucky Star started, and now its over and Haruhi is starting back up. The voice actor for Haruhi and Konata are the same and she might not have been able to handle both projects at once maybe?
Any thoughts on that?
I didn't know that.
well it is logical that she wouldn't cope with both projects but in my opinion it's a question of currency not efficiency. basically she might have been paid more for lucky star then the 2nd series of haruhi but it might not be so. they might have got some one else in though
Oh god I hope they dont use a different person for Haruhi's voice.... I was simply amazed at how she could pull off Konata and Haruhi who are two totally different personalities and voice types
No kidding. But more importantly, Lucky Star is being brought to America via Bandai (Ghost in the Shell, Haruhi) so expect great things. Honestly, I hope they come out with limited edition stuff. My concern is that Akira-sama will be a good voice actor. One who can player her super high voice and then her low voice too.
I wonder how they would do the voice change in Lucky Star in episode 16...

It would be hard for me to expect great things from Lucky Star. Granted, when it's good, it's hilarious. But when it's bad, it's right up there with Chinese Water Torture.
I dont know if Lucky Star will do well in America since its jokes are 90% targeted to the Japanese world. I at times find it hard to understand what they are talking about sometimes...
I watched a couple of eps, and the part from that fan dub HA1L found (and it is remarkably good for a fan dub), but I wasn't very impressed with it on an aesthetic level. I found the artwork rather unappealing, for one.
Well looking at yea I mean thats to be expected since you dont seem in the least bit to find appeal in stuff that is cute, girly, and stuff like that. I mean with your avatar and sig and all it kinda gives off that impression >.>

By and large true, but I do like Ah! My Goddess, and Love Hina. But an oversaturation of cute and girly does not sit well on me.
Yeah but you would think the adult sims and stuff would help balance it a little
The intro song was hypnotic, and the show must have had a sub-liminal message as it sucks you in and doesn't let go. The Lucky Channel insert at the end of every episode was quirky at best...where did she pull that ash-tray from anyway? :eevil:

I've been makeing my way through the series (on ep 18 now) and I have to say I LOVE lucky star! Konata is by far my favourite character, though I like pretty much everyone except for Miyuki. Sometimes it just feels like she's just there because they didn't want only 3 'main' characters, though I wouldn't really call her a main character at all. Hell, to be completely honest she could die in one of the remaining episodes and all you'd get from me is a 'meh'.

Difficult to say. Kyoto Animation must've had a planned goal for how much they would and couldn't do for a first season of Haruhi. Just like any other job, politics of some degree probably exist in the animation studios which determines what the final product will be - The largest determinate factor here, of course, is money at which everything revolves.
Certainly a lot of advance planning must be made to ensure that contact is made with the seiyus (voice actors) they wish to have to make certain they are not busy with other projects. Like Hollywood actors, popular japanese seiyus are in high demand and must be booked accordingly into upcoming animation projects before someone else contracts them.
Hirano Aya's character, Konata cosplaying as Haruhi and then changing her voice between characters was pure gold. And platinum. ^^ I'm sure the folks at Kyoto Animation had a lot of fun with episode 16.

Thought I'd answer your question in this thread, randamonian. :e_pleased:
Kadokawa USA has in fact licensed Lucky Star and will be distributed by Bandai (the same folks who gave us The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya). This info was in a trailer included in volume 4 of Haruhi.
And just like Haruhi Suzumiya, they are using MySpace as a promo tool for the english release. (http://www.myspace.com/luckystardvd)
We may have to wait a little while yet before a release date is confirmed - This series is still fairly recent and still has that new car scent.... if you get my drift. So far it's only known that it'll be released sometime this year. Shouldn't be much longer before we know though.
eh, yay!
my favourite is konata, she's so cool. in a nerdy way. but that's the kinda cool that i appreciate the most.
buti wanta know WHEN, WHEN will it come. argh, to wait is to torture.

I haven't really been paying attention. Personally in the UK you have to dig to find information regarding anime/manga, well in my experience anyway, i can't really talk about all the others on this board who come from the UK as well.
they DO have it out in Japan! i saw it on amazon - region 2. costs a bit. DON'T buy it, even if you're tempted. It won't have english subtitles!
theres a Lucky Star game coming out for the DS in a month orso called Shin Lucky Star, it'll be abit like wario ware and it's based on the manga rather then the anime (so it's 320,000% more Cuter :e_pleased:)

Wow. That opening song is something else. What a catchy tune!
The show is just too damn funny, right from the start. It reminds me of Azumanga Daioh, being a high school girl comedy with basically no real plot, except it's kind of weirder. Plus, there are sometimes odd things going on in the background; and what the hell is with all of their lead-in conversations? They're always laughing, and talking about something being stinky, and then are interrupted. That's probably going to remain a mystery...as it should.
You can not deny the cuteness! :hdead:

Unfortunately.
^Interesting. An OVA of Lucky Star would be a must-see.
As for an actual second series of Lucky Star, I wouldn't doubt it'll happen. Probably won't be seen until sometime after season two of Haruhi though.
I, for one, want to see Konata torment Kagami just a leeettle bit more. Always makes me laugh.

I too would support more FMP, but I have heard from some folks, even a couple round here I think, that the later novels kind of decline in quality. If the next series continues the upswing I would get it, but if it is anything like what some people have complained about, I'd rather not ruin the series as it stands now. TSR was just great, I loved picking up the complete series in the one box, so cheap ($40, yay!).

QuoteI'd have to say the exact opposite of what you just said.
Seconded. I was moderate on FMP! First season (still enough to buy it though), Fumoffu was hilarious, and TSR is fabulous.
Exactly how I feel. ;)
I can't say much about Fumoffu or the 2nd raid as i haven't seen them yet, but the way the first series captured me has certainly secured their place on my to get list.
So, there still shit in my opinion, everyone as there own likes and dislikes in anime
Lucky Star is the only animé that I never skip the opening credits, the ending credits, nor the next episode previews.
I absolutely love 'Motteke! Saolir-fuku'.
In fact, it was the cause of my TV crapping out. There's been a loose connection in it, and usually a good smack to the side will get the picture back. Well, I cranked the volume all the way up, and the vibrations caused it to fail- permanently.

So I got the first two English-release DVDs. I must say, I'm hooked. ^_^ It's cute and fun and definitely reminds me of Azumanga Daioh, but not at all the same show, which is nice. Hooray for Lucky Star!
So they started releasing it in English, means i have another 1-2 year wait then before they decide to convert it to region two

Okay, Konata with a Khopesh, I find that funny, if for no other reason :P

That's the thing about OVAs: Since they're not necessarily made to air for television, the production team is not limited to having episodes run at a pre-determined amount of time (running to fill a half hour time slot, including commercial time).
I don't own many OVAs, but each volume I have of Hellsing Ultimate averages 50 minutes each.
Guess we'll know when the time comes.
And heck, anything can happen in an OVA. Maybe they'll have Konata and Kagami cursing like sailors at each other (although I seriously doubt it!) :il_hahaha:
Got myself a kagami miniture, I know this is off subject but referring to the mention of hellsing ulitmate, how many volumes are there, I only have 1 and 2 at the moment

8 or 9? You sure? :e_wink: If you have more volumes of Ultimate in the UK, I'm movin' there. Yes, I will. :e_tongue:
But far as I know, only three volumes of Utlimate were available before Geneon USA stopped producing their licensed titles last year. Geneon's new partnership with Funimation should have volume 4 available very soon though.
I got Tzukasa and Kagami at Alcon on Saturday

hmm.. They're definately not Nendoroids. Actually, if they are what I think they are they're probably better than Nendoroids. Larger too.
Nice, HA1L! b^_^

Here's another promo vid for the Lucky Star OVA.. (A much better one) (http://www.movic.jp/info/rakisutaova/pv.html)
I was impressed with the scene where they seem to be playing in an RPG.
why was Kagami's hair green?
Quote from: HA1L ILPALLAZZO on September 11, 2008, 06:09:04 AM
why was Kagami's hair green?
Kagami is cosplaying as Miku Hatsune, a mascot for a singing sythesizer program called Vocaloid made by Yamaha.
The Miku mascot has literally taken otaku-dom by storm in the last few years.

ah that explains it.........hang on Kagami's cosplaying isn't that below her?
heh.. I know.
But Konata's influence is too strong. (http://xs231.xs.to/xs231/08375/2942.gif)
I just watched volume 3 in Japanese, after having viewed it in English a few weeks ago. Lucky Star never fails to amuse. I always find it difficult to wait for the next volumes, and end up checking the release dates too often.
At least this special edition came with a shirt that I could actually wear. The other two...not so much.
I am compelled to raise the volume during the opening. I have it in my CD player/alarm clock (which doesn't always work, so sometimes I wake up to "Motteke! Sailor-fuku", and other times it's just *beep*beep*beep*, I never know which it will be). I can't wait until my new phone comes in, so I can use it as a ring-tone.
E^D
have already beaten you there mate guess what I have as a ringtone :il_hahaha:

So what's printed on the t-shirt included in volume 3? O.o Is it worth getting?
I know what you mean about the other two t-shirts. Myself, I'd feel like a sick,
SICK bastard to wear those in public. :il_hahaha:

The volume 3 shirt is their gym/sports festival long sleeved jacket. It's the only one so far that doesn't look like it's for school-girls. It would take
very specific circumstances to get me to wear the others.

Well, I get the beeps much more often. I guess that would make the Lucky Star mornings that much more special. Little things like that help to make me enjoy every day...

[As of 10/01/2008, I now have "Motteke! Sailor-fuku" as a ringtone. I clipped it to my favorite part of the song, the title lyric, cheer-leader part of the opening credits. I also have the whole TV length version, from the beginning.]
IT'S LIKE I'M REALLY TRIPPING ON ACID. (http://pown.it/wiipown.php?uid=1985) Use these settings for maximum awesome:
