A man has been arrested for plotting to bomb the house of the characters of Lucky Star, formerly the home of the manga’s creator Kagami Yoshimizu, but was apprehended by police before causing any harm.
Saitama police arrested the unemployed man (22) in Satte City after he sent a letter proclaiming:
“I’m going to go and blow up the building with the recreated Lucky Star heroine’s room in it.”
Referring to the pictured building, formerly the mangaka’s residence and now a tourist trap. The management beefed up security as a result.
He was soon arrested for interfering with police duties, all apparently according to plan, for the culprit himself states he did it out of consideration of the possibility that “If there’s a big fuss about the thing, I’ll be on the news…”
He goes on to admit himself that he had no intention of carrying out his plot: “I had no intention of actually blowing it up, I just thought if I put out the threats it would cause a stir.” Police seem to concur.
Hatred for Konata or Kagami did not apparently enter into the equation, as he had apparently only heard about the title through the Internet, and had never so much as read a volume of the manga. There is speculation that he objected to the franchise all the same though…
Regarding the house itself, the Satte City Chamber of Commerce and Industry had earlier renovated the house after Yoshimizu had moved out of it last May.
Opened on March 28th, The “Kimagure Studio Yoshimizu Kagami Gallery Satte” is now made into a museum of sorts, celebrating the “birth place” of Lucky Star.
Most of the rooms were made to look like those of the Izumi household, with one depicting the room of the main character, Konata Izumi, while another was made to look like that of her cousin, Yutaka.

Hes lucky the police caught him before I did...
The OP of Konata crying turns me on for some reason. o_0
You're not alone.. Feels like i want to cuddle her.
Now that I think about it, this would have been the 21st century Kinkakuji...LMAO
lol
That guy should get life in prison just for even suggesting the thought of harm to Konata and Yutaka's house.
lol you
NO U
I don't know what's sadder, the fact that the guy sent this by mail, or the fact that they've turned Kagami's house into a fucking museum.
Seriously, what the fuck?
It's all a rip anyway! That room doesn't look squat like anything in Lucky Star!

TO VICTORY!!!
LONG LIVE LUCKY STAR!
This dude is my hero.
Damn, the plot failed?
I hate Lucky star, so overrated (like Haruhi). Both are crap in my opinion.
But blowing up seems excessive (as long as nobody gets hurt, 2D people don't count). Oh well.
You probably never watched it until the last episode. Or read the manga.
I agree Haruhi is overrated, but Lucky Star isn't. And people should stop relating them, just because Kadokawa Shoten used Lucky Star to promote Haruhi more (much in the same way Genshiken did with Kujiki Unbalance, although it was a future project of Genshiken creator, Shimoku Kio), and because Aya Hirano dubbed Konata. Mangaka Kagami Yoshimizu has nothing to do with light novel author Nagaru Tanigawa.
Lucky Star is a yonkoma manga dealing with random facts of modern life in Japan, Haruhi is a series of light novels.
Most of the Lucky Star haters are the type of people who dislike anything too hyped or mainstream. While I myself dislike hype and people acting like retards (luky star so kakoi XDD konata kaway lolz ^_~), I judge things for what they are in essence. And I found Lucky Star to be good, in its own merit.
The other type of people who dislike Lucky Star are casual anime watchers, who don't even know what "moe" is, and really shouldn't be watching it. People who watch "shows" only for entertaining reasons. Casual watchers. I'm not saying you are any of these types, I'm just commenting what I generally perceive.
You may as well be a hikikomori otaku, with figures, dakimakura, etc in your room, and have watched and disliked Lucky Star. You are entitled to your own opinion. I'm not saying it's impossible that anime otakus (Japanese meaning) dislike Lucky Star, or anything of the sort. But, in my opinion, you would be a minority in the group of Lucky Star haters, since most fit the two types I mentioned.
TLTR
No, it isn't. And this repetitive habit of posting tl;dr or tltr is stupid.
No I don't dislike lucky star because it's over-hyped, though it definitely is. I mean, it's often compared to Haruhi when seemingly the only similarity is that Haruhi is popular and they want this to be popular as well. My main problem is that the show basically consists of bland long-winded discussions that are supposed to be funny because they're so unfunny and references to otaku culture. This might be wrong analogy for this crowd, but it's as if Wes Anderson made an anime designed for otaku.
i guess that guy doesn't get much attention back home
How could anyone hate lucky star - esp. enough to want to blow up a house?
Am I the only one that wants that Haruhi poster?
Would not mind visiting, TBH.
That dude just hates Lucky Star.
I bet he's a Naruto fan.
Wow never knew such interesting place exists!
Will definitely pay a visit there someday. ^_^
I feel sad when I see Konata crying like that. ;_;
this place should be a love hotel, with the seifuku included
wow , another plae to visit on japan! ... if its not blowed after i go :S
He made Konata cry =[
It's so hard getting good help nowadays. Back to the drawing board
Better luck next time, guy. You're doing God's work.
No. Now you can leave.
I live not far from Dashielle Hammett's 1929 studio apartment in San Francisco. He wrote The Maltese Falcon and used his place as the location of Sam Spade's apartment. It's now a designated literary landmark.
Maybe that's why I don't think it's weird Yoshimuzu's old apartment has gotten to be a tourist attraction.
Wow...he wrote about taking out an entire complex with people living in it to get to one room? That is just weapons-grade stupid.
What does this classify as? AnimeTerrorism?
Theres EcoTerrorism, CyberTerrorism, Classic Terrorism.... only in japan.
Why all the hate? ;_;
because lucky star is pretty crap?
"crap?" was a typo, I understand.
We all know you meant "too awesome for his frail body?".
no, you are crap stupid
Nah, he's just the type of people who enjoy bitching and express hatred on stuffs he never watched nor even know anything about.
Whether it was by hatred or not, I just can't stop laughing...
Lol same here. In my case it's the topmost picture that's funny.
Nooo Kagamin~
It's a troll that took things into real life. Idiot.
I never thought that this could happen.
Cause a stir, be on the news...
Was it his true objective or there is something more?
maybe he works for lucky star and has been payed to do it.
He was gonna scream I LOVE LUCKY STAR when he's interviewed.. Well, he failed.
Maybe he found himself in need of public housing.
So he didn't have an idea what he was angry at?
Then why was he angry?
Yeah right, as if he has access to the required materials to seriously bomb that place.
Certainly his big mouth is in the way of his "perfect" plan.
Long live Lucky Star!!!
MacGuyver can build a high-explosive charge with a bottle of coke, his shoelaces, 10cm of scotch tape and some ear-wax. So can you!
google and some chemical store or a grocery store or even a convenience store.
although you could do with a freezer, chlorox, some magnesium, and around 2 weeks.
heck even some properly wired and placed gas tanks should be enough.
I'm a Lucky Star fan though. so yes, me and my lousy fingers. hell, lucky star fans can go bomb his place too...
I'm going crazy.
*steps out*
Maybe you can, if you want to mess up the room, but despite what Hollywood wants you to believe powerful and stable explosives are not that easy to produce. Some of those chems can only be ordered from specific producers, and this means records of you purchasing them. Unless ofc you are big in the mining business and want to invest in some mad professor equipment.
Ofc, you can go the gas tank way but I reckon somebody is bound to notice the shady looking guy carrying the big tanks with "explosive" markings.
And yet all of this is so unnecessary when a few well placed molotovs can do just as good.
Actually, C4 is relatively stable and easy to make, and has a big 'bang for your buck'.
Other than that however (and C4 is easy for 'chemical sniffers' to find), yeah.... there aren't many stable explosives.
In fact, Dynamite fits into the 'unstable' category unless it is frozen. Same thing for most other explosive chemicals.
There is ONE that doesn't fit this rule however: ANFO. Contrary to what they want you to believe, they do NOT keep track of people buying Ammonious Nitrate very well, neither do they keep track of people buying fuel oil very well.
Man, what a lonely, attention-starved man.
This man needs to get laid, big time
He was in Japan, the right country for that.
Better yet, he needs to see a therepist. And soon, or else he will end up in the funny farm.
“I’m going to go and blow up the building with the recreated Lucky Star heroine’s room in it.”
Wow. He couldn't have kept his plans more secret than that.
...The point was that he didn't WANT to keep it a secret.
I know. I just thought that writing something like that was funny in of itself.
No kidding. What did he think he was, some sort of kaitou thief? Maybe he was hoping the hot young police detective would show up to try and foil his plot...
lol Japan.
Attention whoring at its finest..
All those mags on the desk are probably hentai. Haha
Bomb? Japan? Does not equate.
What a sad sad hater.
He seemed pretty happy to me.
Wow....
ummm i want to go there?
The police simply needs to show him that picture.
I'm gonna go and blow up, let's say, Artefact's house. Yeah. I'm nor kidding. So, come and arest me?
I think you would be the only one commenting here who actually knows where Artefact's house is...
Looks like someone failed to graduate from the Polytechnic Institute of Hamas.
I bet he couldn't just gather the explosives... what a failure of a person.
Anyway, it seems he's just a NEET, not one of those shady otakus...
⑨
Touhou Sucks.
You lost all your credibility at "One piece fan".
Hmmm nice house
Well, he sure got what he wanted..
“I had no intention of actually blowing it up, I just thought if I put out the threats it would cause a stir.”
One thing - what for?? To "cause a stir," lol? I don't get it. What's the purpose? O_o
...attention?
The world is full of attention whores.
"...with one depicting the room of the main character, Konata Izumi"
If there's no Mayumi Thyme poster there, then they're horribly wrong. Kinda wonder if you can find Yutaka's worn panties there... <3
unemployed + angry otaku: run to the hills!!!
Only in Japan.
nothing of value would of been lost
nooo not kagami!
