Japanese shrines are always packed with people on New Year Days. But otakus all flocked to Washinomiya Shrine this year, to collect the limited edition Nendoroid Puchi: Lucky☆Star New Year Capsule. AkibaHobby also went down and joined in the queue. Folks get a maximum of 10 chances in a lucky draw to collect the entire set [...]

It's finally Christmas for me! Merry Christmas to all the viewers! Lucky Star was one... random Anime for me. I guess Anime like Azumanga Daioh are moderately funny. But one thing I was hoping that Lucky Star would have was yuri moments. Instead, they gave semi-funny Akira-crazy moments. I guess the best part of Lucky Star that I liked was when Akira sang "The Cape of 30 Years" or something like that. I mean, there were too many portions of Lucky Star in each episode; they never really stuck to one topic. And well, the song that Akira sang was totally awesome and her first song she ever sang in this show :) If you want the song, go here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zwgzlmdjmg1

While Zeroblade and Ghostlightning had the Lucky Star OP and just Lucky Star respectively, I chose to stick with the OVA (that and the fact that I watched LS back in 2007). The OVA is just like one long episode of Lucky Star. It needs no further explanation. Patricia Martin was IN DESPAIR! TOTALLY AWESOME! Kagamin Miku <3 ditto live [...]

Washinomiya Shrine (鷲宮神社) is the oldest shrine in the Kantou region of Japan. It also happens to be one of the setting locations for Kyoto Animation’s Lucky Star, the very shrine that Kagami and Tsukasa work part-time as shrine maidens. I paid a visit today and took some interesting pictures. (...)Read the rest of Washinomiya Shrine [...]

This is day five of a twelve day series of posts. These are not in any particular order of preference. These posts are simply what I enjoyed reading this year. You could kind of count this in CCY’s Twelve Moments of Anime 2008 project. I love Lucky Star. Unlike one particular blogger, I always praise it [...]

Despite having an abundance of great games to suck away my time (though I recently finished the best one, Valkyria chronicles) I have managed to fit in a little time to do some model work. Currently, I’m working on the first of 3 Lucky star figures and here’s where I have gotten up to so [...]

I can’t remember why I suddenly watched Lucky Star but I’m glad I did. I finished the series within two days (with breaks of course)… and I still want more. It’s a really funny series and the characters are very relatable. Konata and Kagami are my favorite characters ^_^ ♥. I love how random it is. [...]

I’ve mentioned before that I watch anime with my sister nightly. We watch a bunch of series that are current (currently Soul Eater, Index, Clannad, Shikabanehime: Aka) but on nights that we have nothing new, we go through a series that we’ve already seen. This has allowed me to rewatch a few series that I [...]

While everyone went “OMG MEI IS SO MOE I’M BORKED ONIII~CHAAAAAAAA~N”, I watched the episode and thought everyone over-reacted. I only fapped three times! She’s not that moe. I thought more note-worthy was how much parts of this episode looked like Lucky Star. The fifth cap in particular - Tomoya looks like he’s been possessed [...]

Success in the slice of life genre depends on one thing. It isn't the animation budget, the music production, the plot and setting, or even how funny it is. The key ingredient is the characters and their chemistry. And while that chemistry is present in Lucky Star, it isn't fully realized until the full cast is present later on. The solution itself is simple: bring the secondaries into the mix earlier.

It sounds like an actual live music event, but no.. it’s just another audio CD. But it’s a great CD. I finally get the full version of “Gravity,” among other wonderful and hilarious tracks. The cover to the CD is even memorable. Lucky Star just never fails to astonish me. 1. Uchouten [...]
