Awesome, finally, one of my favorite 4 panel manga from one of my fave bishoujo magazines hit the TVs in Japan.

Oh and other stuff like recently announced seiyuu..

! @eggplant:
! > The cast for Lucky☆Star has been announced.

Cast/Anime Seiyuu (Drama CD, Game Seiyuu)

Izumi Konata: Hirano Aya (Hirohashi Ryou)
Hiiragi Tsukasa: Fukuhara Kaori (Nakahara Mai)
Hiiragi Kagami: Katou Emiri (Koshimizu Ami)
Kobayakawa Yutaka: Hasegawa Shizuka (Shimizu Ai)
Takara Miyuki: Endou Aya (Nakayama Erina)
Kuroi Nanako: Maeda Konomi (Asano Masumi)
Narumi Yui: Nishihara Saori (Saitou Chiwa)
Iwasaki Minami: Chihara Minori (Matsuki Miyu)
Patricia Martin: Sasaki Nozomi (Yukino Satsuki)
Tamura Hiyori: Shimizu Kaori (?)
Kogami Akira: Konno Hiromi (Nonaka Ai)
Miyakawa Hinata: ? (Noto Mamiko)
Miyakawa Hikage: ? (Tamura Yukari)
Takara Yukari: Kosuge Mami (?)
Izumi Soujirou: Hiramatsu Hirokazu (?)
Hiiragi Tadao: ? (?)
Minoru: Shiraishi Minoru (original anime character)

Hm, I am surprised about the substantial change in the seiyuu cast, considering this is a Kyoto Animation/Kadokawa title, and not a Star Child produced one.
I have to admit my first reaction was that the original cast has more clout, not to say that I'm not giving the young anime seiyuus a break, which a KyoAni title can provide.

Regarding the fact that the results of this reader poll to guess the Drama CD cast was more or less in line with the actual seiyuus, the change in the anime cast is drastic.

In any case, looking forward to the anime, slated for spring

Ruwyn

Isn't this KyoAni's next project?

HEATXZ

This series is so cute I can't wait for the anime

Malintex_Terek

Uh uh. There's no way I'm getting into this series; too much moe, not enough gar.

Weird, I thought Pani Poni Dash or Tsukuyomi Moon Phase had too much moe.

BUMP for newly announced news.

From MOON PHASE:

Anime character design was revealed on Newtype:

It's not all that bad, besides Konata's hair color. :heh:

HEATXZ

I saw the first 2 episodes and i love it! all the girls are so cute! X3 i like Konata she is like me if i were a girl

Malintex_Terek

@Malintex_Terek:

Uh uh. There's no way I'm getting into this series; too much moe, not enough gar.

This opinion is still very much valid, even now. >___<;

Pants-eater

Looks like pedo fodder.

Which wil probably be spulrged by 4chan.

tonitonichopper

I saw the opening, It's freaking adorable!

Arkadian

This manga/anime is really cute, I have watched the first 3 episodes and liked it so far.

And the opening song is … well ... it's stuck on my head, it won't be weird if I hum it all week -_-.

Janken Jack

So cute, I thought I was gonna get cavitities. No thanks.

Demon Days

Hmm. Seems like a loli Azumanga Daioh to me.

Captain Kaze

link very related.

This series is very.. ":3"so far.

Still…Did KyoAni have to make another epic dance on an OP/ED? Parodies are already spreading of its OP...

But I did LOVE it, dont get me wrong.

tonitonichopper

^ Yeah I have seen hundreads of parodies and such on youtube, You should see the "Gunpla Version"

Ruwyn

Not sure if anyone cares, but they changed series directors over at KyoAni

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2007-04-30/lucky-star-changes-director-after-four-episodes

Ep director of Haruhi Suzumiya and directed Fummofu? This should serve interesting to see.

Pedo?:blink:

luffink

Pedophile…

anyway, what was the song in the ending of the third episode?

Majek

i know what pedo is. <_<
it's just i don't see 16 -17 years old high shool girls as "pedo fodder"

Ruwyn

@luffink:

anyway, what was the song in the ending of the third episode?

The song that is song at the end of the third episode in Hirano Aya's "I'm being serious" voice is the opening theme to Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu which I believe is called "Sore ga, Ai deshou".

KyoAni loves to reference previous shows they've done, though they seem to reference a lot of other shows as well in Lucky Star as well.

@Majek:

i know what pedo is. <_<

Its not their age, just they look moe and loli IMO.

I know its not nice to double post but I had to post this one~

Finally, someone actually did the dance XD lol

tonitonichopper

OK, I finally watched the first episode and I must say this show definatly is not what I thought it would be!!! When I saw the opening I thought it would be some really silly comedy like Pani Poni Dash or Azumanga(SP?) Daioh, But they spent the entire first episode discussing pastries….....

pastries….....

And dont forget any other random crap, like Dentists, drills, and Hot Secutaries, lol ^__^ And all those otaku references and cameos…

A good portion of those references are relatively obscure but some are pretty obvious:

@Ruwyn:

Lolilicous Konata singing 「CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA」

Truly Hilarious as fuck, and I'd die of happiness if she sung We Are in one ED one day in a future ep.

I already laughed my ass of at Head Cha La. We Are! would be amazing!

What does the girl say in the begining of the op?

It sounds like she says " I buy sausage."

Just wondering.

Here´re the translated lyrics of the tv version:http://wing2.jp/~jeeb/?p=114#more-114
It´s something about 3 cm…

Forte EXE

I will never hear it as anything else as "I buy sausage"

Accelerator

I'm getting hooked with this anime,it's so funny.
Where can i find the manga?

Malintex_Terek

Where's the sage button? AP really needs a sage button, rotten infested topics like this need to be buried deep underground. :getlost:

…

Lucky Star is one of the most horribly banal shows ever made. A retarded show for retards, as the proverb goes.

Don't watch it.

Instead of bashing the show why don't you tell us why it's retarded.

(Never really saw the show.)

Malintex_Terek

I was going to say, "well this topic is filled with enough detailled complaints of LS so I won't bother" but upon re-examination there are compliments! Ye gods, this will not do.

Perhaps in a a couple days, I'm a tad busy right now.

Fun Fact I found out-Lucky Star's first DVD has sold out across Japan within only a few days of release.

Out of what I've seen, pretty much every single punchline is either "Lolis are talking about something" or "Anime reference".

Minoru Shiraishi = best character on show

Did anyone see the newest ending? It's so awkward it was funny.

tonitonichopper

OMG ZORO!!!

@tonitonichopper:

OMG ZORO!!!

That was unexpected :blink: ….

Ruwyn

Wow.

16 manbabies in shopping carts

@KrnxAJa:

Sebastian might be cool, but the only real win in LS is "Anime Tenchou". Man, I'm nominating him in SaiGar.

LS is "Anime Tenchou". Man, I'm nominating him in SaiGar.

Anime Tenchou = WIN. This guy also has good scores for my side when SaiGar 2008 comes.

I KNEW IT

Oh Susan why do you continue to deny the truth

BeansDooma

sooo bump

I've been watching this lately, and I believe the final episode airs tomorrow. I'm curious to see how they end it.

Tsuchirinhon

This show is actually really cute.

Jay_n_Silentbob

Indeed…It's very...What's the word...O yea...Moe, it's very moe.

Funny show...I think the green haired girl is pretty kool.

Also, anyone ever notice that they're always saying something smells bad before someone else interupts them?
