As we saw earlier with the prominent featuring of Kagamiku, cosplay is looking to be central to the Lucky Star OVA. Now the official site reveals these development sketches, illustrating a likely focus on netgaming as well.

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.

Popular seiyuu idol 平野綾 / Aya Hirano, of Haruhi and Lucky Star fame, has delivered up some intriguing photos of herself in alluring swimwear as promised; here they are in all their relatively scantily clad glory. See also the main gallery for more of her.

If this cover art for the upcoming and highly anticipated Lucky Star OVA is anything to go by, then something resembling the earlier Hatsune Konata madness may be set to feature in the OVA itself, officially.
And of course, there is also the matter of Nagato Konata visible there…

Another topical gallery considering how much she has been in the news recently, here is a gallery of esteemed Haruhi/Konata seiyuu 平野綾 / Aya Hirano, who also as you can see from these images happens to be a developing idol. She certainly is well photographed (and photoshopped, with the above image apparently being an outright paste), and in plenty of everyday or humourous situations too, though this may well be to be expected from her like.

The latest development in esteemed Konata/Haruhi seiyuu 平野綾 / Aya Hirano’s burgeoning career has been a spot of idolling; as reported earlier, she has opted for some publicity with Young Jump by way of some “gravure” photography, so let us examine the photos to ensure maximum standards of taste and decency are being maintained.

Lucky Star and the esoteric arts of divination collide in this splendid loose recreation of the classic Rider-Waite tarot deck. Only the Major Arcana are as yet completed; it looks to be a little too difficult to adapt a series like Lucky Star to this end (not enough characters or themes), but it has been done with other series.

I’m a little unsure of how to describe this interesting musical and visual meme currently spreading around NicoNico: I shall have to let the videos speak for themselves, I think. Many characters are represented, but I think the pinnacle is this Konata styled puchi Miku. On to the videos:

Lucky Star’s oft forgotten original manga version has featured an event sure to evoke complex emotions in followers of Konata and the gang; they have graduated from high school without issue. You may breathe a sigh of relief to hear that the manga seems set to continue, although doubtless this brief sigh will be terminated by a gasp of realisation that this means no more sailor uniforms.

Perhaps inspired by her recent featuring in a “parody” adult flick, played by some scarlet lady vaguely resembling her, 平野綾 / Aya Hirano (Konata, Haruhi, etc.) has opted to engage in a spot of gravure photography herself: we hear that in Weekly Young Jump 33 (released on the 16th July), she will engage in a spot of provocative posing, with pinups promised, although given the lady and publication in question it will most certainly maintain the highest standards of taste.

Popular seiyuu, J-pop singer and dabbling idol 平野綾 / Aya Hirano (Konata, Haruhi, etc.) is set to debut in an adult video, though she will be played by an “actress” resembling her, and the production is strictly unauthorised.

In a rather unusual turn of events, the release date for the impending Lucky Star OVA has been pushed back an entire month, from August 29th to September 26th. The change has shown up in several different shops, so it can likely be taken as genuine. There is no official statement on why at this time, so we’ll just have to speculate wildly.
There was some interesting talk on 2ch that this could be connected to revisions after the recent incident, but of course that is pure speculation. Via 2ch, visible here.
