Night of Tsukasa

Night of Tsukasa

Tsukasa-mania in this fine video. The latest MAD meme to become popular on Nico is the “Night of Nights” style of remixed anime, which started to become popular with the Yu-Gi-Oh! “Night of Command” and “Speed Command” videos, and had its fullest expression with the excellent Code Geass Nipponpon series; here we have it done using Lucky Star’s TN TN lover Tsukasa Hiiragi:

Lucky Star Yuri

Lucky Star Yuri - Konata on Kagami

These rather enticing yuri images of Konata on Kagami (also Kagami on Tsukasa) actually grace some telephone cards on offer at Gamers, but since you probably cannot buy and do not want them, through the marvels of being told where to get them by a generous commenter, I reproduce them here. Enjoy.

Tsukasa Syndrom

Tsukasa Syndrom

Combining the moe qualities of Lucky Star’s Tsukasa with the charm of the flute, and the sheer inexplicableness of the better class of Nico MADs, this video is strangely compelling.

Kagami & Tuskasa Hiiragi’s Birthday Matsuri – Lucky Star Shinto: countless ema are present at鷲宮神社 / Washinomiya Shrine in Washimiya, Saitama.

Lucky Star twins Kagami and Tsukasa Hiiragi have secured their own festival in commemoration of their birthday (7th of July), and an event on an impressive scale it is too. Naturally enough, the event takes place in 鷲宮町 / Washimiya, Saitama, and the now apparently given over to Lucky Star 鷲宮神社 / Washinomiya Shrine features heavily. Lucky Star Shinto, anyone?

Here is some English commentary on a rather good event report (and plenty of pictures of Lucky Star Shinto, as well as merchandising, in operation):

Tsukasa Paradise (Animator Comparison)

Lucky Star's Tsukasa, animators compared in great detail, also Haruhi & Nagato

Some diligent soul has put together a most comprehensive comparison of the differences between Lucky Star’s Tsukasa, as drawn by each animator of the series, as well as Haruhi’s characters.

Since anime is generally produced in parallel by multiple teams of animators, there are generally slight differences between each team’s output, which may be very noticeable if supervision is lax or the animation is rubbish – I am not afraid to admit that I cannot tell them apart at all; their animation supervision seems top notch, or perhaps I am not looking hard enough.

However, a look at the Haruhi animator comparison on the same site does reveal some differences, however minor.

As a tribute to this dedication, I reproduce the images below, should you wish to try to spot the differences. You may also simply want to gawk at Tsukasa and Nagato. This coming from 2ch, by way of Syu’s Quiz Blog.
