Anime Lucky Star

[Konata]

Yeah, the CGs seem to resemble the manga art a bit more.

But I'm definitely surprised they included that little uh... picture. I bet they just satisfied 50% of Japan's LS fans right there.

I remember when I first heard about it, I was really looking forward to it. I wanted to get relationships with Yui, Minami, Tsukasa, and the teacher, lol.

I must say, that would definitely get me to watch Shana...

EDIT: And while I'm at it, this really needs to be shared. [url=http://anime-chronicles.com/post/view/3651][u]New Megami poster - Lucky Star version of the Haruhi bunny girls[/u][/url]

Release info:

- 6 volume release
- Special Editions with goodies like with Haruhi Suzumiya. No details on OST/music yet.
- No set street date at this time.
- DVD Liner notes to be included for explanations of inside jokes and references in the series.
- Original Japanese Endings will be kept[/quote]

So they are going down the special edition route after all. Will be interesting to see how this plays out for them. I suppose I could be tempted if the innards (so to speak, haha) are *really* nice.

[quote name='AoD']- 6 volume release[/quote][color=#4B0082][b]Fail.[/b]

I will be waiting for the thin pack. And since it's coming out in six volumes I have a feeling I will be waiting another year or so. I guess they get to hope my interest holds that long.

At least liner notes for the references is cool.[/color]

man i recently just finished the searies and after the whole thing i must say this does remind e of azumanga daioh i'm all up for moe and this show has a lot of it but some of the stuff they talk about it so other worldly i mean in the first episode they talk about how to eat food (of course that huor got me hooked on the show so not complaining here) anyways i think my favorite part is always the ending when they do lucky channel with shiraihsi and what her face also when they do karaoke for the ending i'm glade they have more then one end song honestly haveing one song always playing for a long period is kinda annoying so a good change of pace anyways i'm rambling now so this was a great anime and i highly recemend it fo annyone who has not seen it yet :catgirl:

I finally got around to finishing this and though it had a fantastic ending, I'm already wanting more. Some of the newer characters, especially that psycho student who [spoiler] imagines her friends in all sorts of weird situations for her drawings [/spoiler] were totally hilarious to watch. It would be great to see another season revolving around the life of the other characters who came along later in the series.

Like Des, I'm less than thrilled at the prospect of them spreading 24 episodes over six disks. If I get this, I'll be waiting for a later release in a thin pack version. I've become far more picky on what I'll pay for a show and forking out at least $20 per disk just isn't going to happen.

[color=#4B0082]Well, you have to admit that Hiyori is kind of crazy. Whether that's normal among the doujin community is another matter. :p[/color]

[COLOR="DarkOrange"]Crazy [i]awesome[/i] maybe, lol. Ah, fangirls... but the difference is instead of bl doujins she's obsessed with yuri ones! Well, I'm sure she'd do either, but still!!! That alone made her one of my favorite chara's all year. And her awesome tuck-roll to prevent falling on her drawing arm XDDDD[/COLOR]

[Desbreko]

[color=#4B0082]Awesome, yes, but still crazy. It's hard to resist the walking pillar of moe that is Yutaka, but I think Hiyori is actually my favorite of the first-year students.

My favorite scene with her was when she was trying to stop Konata from letting Yutaka read her work. Watching her get so panicked as her worlds started to collide was great.[/color]

[color=#4B0082]:animeblus E-mail me the full res version plz.

The Motteke! Sailor Fuku Re-Mix002 album was released recently (yeah, I didn't think the 001 on the first one meant anything either, but I'm not complaining) and its cover art is pretty awesome. Konata's outfit reminds me of Sora's from Kaleido Star when she's doing the Angel Act.

Also reduced resolution from the original scan and with a blur filter run on it to smooth the colors out:

[COLOR="DarkOrange"]Those outfits are amazing, even if it only serves to accentuate the flatness of Konata's chest, not that I'm complaining since that's like my favorite thing about her XD still, I like the sort of artsiness of the pic. [/COLOR]

I just want to point out [url=http://www.rightstuf.com/1-800-338-6827/catalogmgr/hb23TEJHs-6DAMVb0F/browse/item/78559/4/0/0][u]how awesome this cover is[/u][/url].

The artbox is on the same page. I had no intention of getting any of the LEs, but it would look sweet next to my Haruhi set... :animeswea

[color=#4B0082]OMG, that [i]is[/i] totally awesome. I want it. But ... $60 for only one volume makes the Des sad. :animecry:[/color]

Oh gods... I can't get it out of my mind. I am so going to kill you Crystia (or should I call you indifference?) for getting me started on that. XD Though I've moved to watching the show and now to joining this place. Uh....

Anyway, I got started on this the other day... I don't even know where to begin, though I don't catch most if not all of the references that I assume are to other anime shows, but still. Good grief! This show is fantastic! Konata the ultra Otaku who forgoes sports and even gets a job to support her habits. Kagami who though a bit egotistical is fun to watch sparring verbally with Konata. Tsukasa so cute and clueless, like the time when she was looking for the number for her cell phone. XD And the ever polite Miyuki.

As soon as I finish up episode twelve I'll be moving on to the next. This show is great fun. :catgirl:[/FONT]

If you like everyone so far, just wait until the next batch of characters. They're hilarious, especially Hiyori. You'll see what I mean soon enough. And speaking of Lucky Star... I've been re-watching this myself. It's just as much fun as I remember from the first time around. Especially how the Lucky Channel evolves and goes utterly [spoiler]insane near the end[/spoiler][/COLOR]

[color=#4B0082]ANN has a rather [url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=7222&page=22][u]long list[/u][/url] of the references made throughout the series if you're interested. I caught quite a few of the major ones on my own but there were still a lot of smaller ones that I could either tell were some sort of reference but didn't get or that just flew over my head completely.[/color]
