The rather nice image above is of Konata and Kagami depicted as traditional Shinto deities Fujin (god of wind) and Raijin (god of lightning) – Konata is Fujin, wielding a bag from which the primal winds gust forth, Kagami is Raijin, ready to beat her drums to create thunder, and a traditional illustration of the pair is shown below; much less likely to inspire devotion in the modern world than the above, I’m sure you’ll agree.

The release details for the Lucky Star OVA have emerged. It will go on sale on August 29th, with the DVD having a list price of ¥6,090. The OVA runs for a marathon 30m. The sales spiel runs: “The OVA includes an original episode which couldn’t be portrayed on TV, following a real time axis”. So, a linearly arranged story? Extras include a Lucky Channel recording and event images. Dare I say, a tad expensive? Via 2ch, visible here.

Pre-orders have already begun for the らき☆すた / Lucky Star OVA! More vague details have emerged regarding the story, in addition to the earlier news that it will feature Animate tenchou, by way of a feature in Comptiq, though things are still quite obscure. We have the comment from tenchou: “Don’t expect swimsuits! The main event is my hot battle!”, accompanied by text to the effect that the actual content is still up in the air, though it is said to be a completely new work. Some scans from Comptiq are kindly provided by Jabro, but apart from some fetching fridge magnets there is not a great deal new.

The recently announced らき☆すた/Lucky Star OVA has attracted much attention, and now details on the story for the OVA (and confirmation of a summer drama CD) have emerged in Newtype; it seems it will be based on the rivalry (actually I am struggling to describe this relationship) between Konata and the Animate store manager (“アニメ店長/Anime Tenchou”) – source here.
