On the theme of crossovers from the last post, I thought I’d post some of my favorite Haruhi Suzumiya and Lucky Star crossover videos. For many Haruhi fans, Lucky Star was like Haruhi season 1.5 because it filled that empty place after the first season was over; plus it had Haruhi’s seiyuu Hirano Aya [...]

Tomorow, at the Washinomiya Shrine, the matsuri with the traditional mikoshi parade will take place. At this parade will also be featured the Lucky Star mikoshi I photographed last month in the Washinomiya station, and from the video below it seems that this will be the main attraction… Details: The Washinomiya train station: The Washinomiya Shrine torii: This is a recording from the last year. I would have loved to be there… Mâine, la altarul Washinomiya are loc un matsuri, la care principala atracţie este parada de mikoshi. La paradă va participa şi mikoshi Lucky Star, pe care am fotografiat-o luna trecută în staţia de tren Washinomiya. Iată o înregistrare de la parada de anul trecut. Mi-aş fi dorit să fiu acolo… <object data="http://www.youtube.com/v/D0km5aDWzA0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="600" height="420"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/D0km5aDWzA0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param></object> (via Japan Probe)Muza-chan on

Returned home today to find a rather large package from Hobby Search waiting for me.  It was packed full of delicious bishoujos :D Three new Lucky Star girls and a Kyou challenger appears!  Since I’m quite cheap and shipping EMS is quite expensive, I try to package as many items into a single order as possible.  [...] Related posts:Good Smile announces 1/4 Lucky Star Figures by FREEingNew outfits for FREEing 1/4 Lucky Star setAtelier Sai’s Kagami now shipping

Japan Probe found this video of the Lucky Star mikoshi (portable shrine) that took to the streets in the washimiyamachi festival last year. This festival will take place on September 6th, so hurry up to Japan so you can see the new Lucky Star mikoshi.  Supposedly, this brand new shrine will have up to 30 characters on it and have other ‘mods’ that make the entire shrine weigh about 250 kilograms. I didn’t even know Lucky Star had 30 characters to put on it, maybe they will borrow some from Haruhi or something. I do enjoy this, but I would rather have other anime characters deified, like Kamina, Shinji, Rock Lee, or Tatsuhiro Satō.

Just like I said in the previous post, today I publish this Lucky Star Winamp Skin that had been modified by Jousway. And since I think that the component windows are also need some editing, I changed the color especially the border. Also, adding a proper notifier preference window and shade/mini mode. Of course, the original version is also get the same update ^^

For those of you who have been watching my piano videos, you might notice that most, if not all of the piano songs I play are 'sad' songs. So I wanted to try learning a 'happy' song, and Fun Fun Dayo is the perfect choice, because it's easy to play ^_^

Lucky Star characters are sooo adorable! My favorite among them are the Hiiragi twins. I only have Nendo Tsukasa Hiiragi (cover photo, gomen, lighting is poor) and figma Kagami will arrive soon. I’m also thinking of ordering Nendoroid Mikku Miku, her expressions are really cute. And the Nendoroid Petit set, I [...]

I originally was going to only review Detroit Metal City but I decided to throw in Lucky Star. Both of these manga series are comedy, have a successful anime series, and have a big fan base. But lets see which one comes on top. Lucky Star Review:Either you love it or you hate it. Ok, I can't make a review that is 8 words long. We all know that the manga came out before the anime but I personally prefer the anime. The delivery of some of the jokes due come up stale, if you have already seen the anime. I know that it's a 4 panel manga and the jokes are suppose to be quick but still some are a hit or a miss. The character design is almost the same except for Konata. Konata's character is actually better in the manga because she looks much cuter. I know that this manga is not to be taken serious, it is meant to be for a quick read from time to time. I recommend this manga to those who are a fan of Lucky Star and want more from it.Detroit Metal City:First of all, I did not expect the DMC manga to be released in the United States anytime soon. When I heard that it was released, I thought that Dark Horse picked it up. However, I was surprised that Viz Media licensed it because of all the profanity, the crude humor, and the overuse of the word "rape"(it is repeated over 90 times in the first volume)this manga has. This has to be the funniest manga I have read in a long time. Hell, it is even funnier than the anime. I have met people who dislike the manga when I tell them the plot but as soon as they are done reading it, they love it. If you can get over the bad language, I recommend this manga. If you are still not convinced, it also brings some sweet temporary tattoos. GO TO DMC!I'm glad to see more manga that have a big fan following being released in English. So, what are your opinions on these two manga?
