I just bought 2 things from eBay.

http://www.radiosega.net/images/posts/946062667.JPG

First is the complete series of Lucky Star.

Second is a Lucky Star illustration artbook.
I really like that anime.

O: wouldn't mind that artbook I love Lucky Star (though I never managed to finish watching the series).

Not sure about the DVD, but it's been licensed now so I'll probably import the american one. Is that the official DVD? Because it looks like someone printed a random Lucky Star picture and slipped it into a VHS case.

Well, I think it is as I've seen a few of the same cover design about but as long as I get the series I'm not very fussed. Anyway it said it will play on my region DVD player to so thats another reason I got this one.

I thought this thread was your recent gaming purchases... :P I was thinking you would have said you bought "Lucky Star: Moe Drill" for the Nintendo DS... :unsure:

Oh well this is a fine place to pop in this:

From Wikipedia

Kadokawa Pictures USA and Bandai Entertainment announced that they have licensed the Lucky Star anime with a teaser trailer at the end of the volume four DVD of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

Kind of an odd way to announce something, but oh well DVDs. :D

Few more things I found though I'm not sure if it's official since I can't find it on any official site. =/

06/05/2008 Release date I found on the Anime Central forum

I would not mind getting my hands on that. I've never seen Lucky Star but I have heard its great fun to watch. I think it has something to do with the opening.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zJXi-FU7sA

That theme tune is catchy.XD

Anyways where about did you find that DVD boxset? I'm looking for a good UK online shop that sells import DVD's like that.

Reknoc
23-02-2008, 02:08
Unfortunatly I found out about that boxset on the Anime Central forums which I occasionally skim through, despite not having access to the channel.

Also I don't know any site based in the UK where can import DVDs, which is a shame ): probably best off checking Amazon or Play.com.

Anyway play.com has even more exciting news will pop that in a thread.

Not bad. Nice to know what you guys have been talking about. :)
I kinda find the Tenchi Muyo tunes to be catchier though. Been a long time since I watched that series. :rolleyes:

(Apologies for what I said earlier in this topic, that is why I did not post for over a week)
My DVD's came the other day with all the series on. I really like the way they make so many references to different games and other anime/manga in the show. I'm not sure who my favourite character is at the moment. I haven't watched them all yet so maybe one of the newer characters will end up being my favourite. I downloaded the DS game Lucky Star Moe Drill. Quite a funny game where you have to solve puzzles, the characters expressions in the game are quite funny.

Reknoc
03-03-2008, 16:47
It's Konata and you know it!

I recently downloaded it, in HI-RES! So yea it looks good.

The Street Fighter bit is still my favorite bit in the series, and I'm sure that episode 1 has a refrence to .Hack.

I also downloaded a Lucky Star DS game but it started asking maths questions and I sucked at it. D:

I think the second one that came out for DS is the easier one as it uses a number pad while the first makes you draw the numbers (need I say more about how it reconises what you are trying to draw). My hands are too shakey for that one. That Street Fighter bit was awesome and yes I think it's Konata FTW!!!!. Must try to point out all these referencess.

Reknoc
03-03-2008, 18:52
Yea I tried the one that had you draw the numbers, to be fair it recognised them rather well, though it put in 9 when I wrote 4 and was a pain with the mouse.

Well the Haruhi Suzumiya and Keroro Gunsou refrences are easy to point out. Full Metal Panic aswell though it's mostly fummofu.

Well, I haven't watched Full Metal Panic so it will be hard for be to pick up where it is used. I think it's wierd that they're teacher goes on chat rooms and RPG's though.XD

Haruhi Suzumiya



Haruhi Suzumiya is another anime I want to see. I heard its coming out in the UK next month. Its like the next big thing I tell you if you go to the next London Expo you will see a lot of Haruhi Suzumiya cosplayers doing that dance.

Reknoc
03-03-2008, 23:06
Huh, wasn't aware Haruhi was getting released over here that makes me happy.

from Anime News Network

The New York Comic Con announced that it will screen Bandai Entertainment's English dubbing of the Lucky Star and Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion anime series for the first time at April 18-20 event. Kyoto Animation's Lucky Star follows the oddball life of an anime/game fangirl with a continuous stream of otaku humor. The Sunrise studio worked with the character designs from the famous manga quartet CLAMP to create Code Geass, a military robot drama with a heavy emphasis on character pathos and political intrigue.

The Adult Swim network plans to start running Code Geass later this spring. Bandai Entertainment and Kadokawa Pictures USA will release the first Lucky Star DVD on May 6.

Interestingly that's around when Code Geass season 2 will be replacing Gundam 00.

Is that what it is? Last puyo game I played was Sun on my N64 emulator XD never seen that one before but I looks good, has alittle boing effect :D

Akira on Lucky Channel would probably be funny on that, with her many faces.

Dr Shaneman

Well, who ever is playing lets you see every character that has been put in and she is on the character select screen. Konata was obviously going to win that fight though.

Reknoc
04-03-2008, 23:06
Hah, yea, but of course Konata would win :P

They even managed to use the little cat, which seems to be in the anime rather randomly but I'm sure is more important in the manga.

Ive seen pictures of Konata feeding so may very well be. If I could I would download that version to. There is one with Read or Die characters in to I think and some with just random Anime characters who ive never seen before.

Hum? PS2 game? Lucky☆Star ~Ryoo Gakuen Otosai~? It's a visual novel.

Apparently Konata is a secret character on recently discontinued fangame Suzumiya Haruhi no Gekitou. Though I wouldnt know since I can't seem to get it to work in any playable speed nor can I read the setup options.

Dr Shaneman
05-03-2008, 00:14
Further reading.... yes it is a visual novel. I like playing the DS game anyway despite the fact I can only do a few stories before the use of reading japanese is actually needed for play. I keep poking the characters when I get borred anyway and see them get annoyed XD.

I have an account on an Anime site so I could probably watch it in good quality. I had to do the same for G-On Riders. On Wikipedia if you search Lucky Star there is a picture of one of the places featured in the opening dance.

I downloaded it on an Anime torrent site tried 3 different versions, one had ugly subs, the other was high quality but ran like crap for some reason and the other is pretty low quality but has good subs.

Neat didn't know any of the scenes in the opening was based on real places.

Dr Shaneman

Glad there is another big fan besides me.
As for buying the DVD's, if I watch a series online and I really like it, I buy it.
Also, it is getting a UK release sometime soon. I think Reknoc knows more than me on that.

No we're not, America is.

We're getting a freaking awesome Haruhi boxset like next week or something soon though. Shame Zavvi have a Robotech boxset for 」20 with my name on.

On the subject of a second series, has the manga ended its run yet? I imagine so if they decided to make it a 20 odd episode series. I very much doubt they're gonna make their own story for an entire series when there's manga they can adapt. Not to mention its pretty rare for animes to get more than one series.

(OMG thread revival!)

So I was watching a few clips of the English dub today for the first time (Not whole episodes, just a few clips to get an idea of the voices) overall I'd say it's not bad, the majority of the characters I sampled were fine. Maybe needing a few minutes to get used to but overall fine. Although I'm a little disappointed that Meito Anizawa (The anime shop owning chap) doesn't seem as passionate/insane as he does in the Japanese version. He was my favourite character but it feels like he's lost a little bit of his personality...
