Lucky Star Pilgrim Uses 2 Months Wages at Lucky Shrine

Lucky Star Pilgrim Uses 2 Months Wages at Lucky Shrine

It seems that a salaryman (48), who used by his own admission at least two months wages in his devotions at famed Lucky Star shrine Washinomiya, is far from alone in such zealous devotion to the new divinities of our age. Still, supporting a shrine may be a marginally preferable use of his funds to playing pachinko, or buying certain OVA at ¥10,000 plus per hour…

Hatsune Kagami OVA?

Hatsune Kagami OVA?

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…

    Wow, considering how well Kyoto Anime is aware of the subculture it creates, in this case it's ripping off its own fanbase. Can you even copy violate a semi-organized, loose group of Otaku(s)? ... More

Lucky Star Tarot

Lucky Star Tarot

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. Shades of Lucky Star Shinto.

Aya Hirano’s “Riot Girl” Album Released

Seiyuu and J-pop followers will be delighted to know that famed Haruhi/Lucky Star seiyuu and nascent idol 平野綾 / Aya Hirano has just released her widely anticipated new album “Riot Girl”

Seiyuu and J-pop followers will be delighted to know that famed Haruhi/Lucky Star seiyuu and nascent idol 平野綾 / Aya Hirano has just released her widely anticipated new album “Riot Girl”; it looks to be a most favourably received product, and of course there was a great deal of fanfare over the release. Her career certainly seems to be on the up recently.

Some extreme talent on display; as if the Stronger Idols weren’t example enough of the skill to be found on Nico, now we have this immaculate music video of the Lucky Star girls.

Hatsune Konata Madness

Hatsune Konata

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:

Konata Graduates – No More Uniforms?

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.

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.

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):

Lucky Star Maiden

Lucky Star Maiden - Lucky Star and Rozen Maiden crossover / らきすためいでん

Lucky Star and Rozen Maiden collide in this series of videos, executed quite skilfully; number four just came out. The nonchalance exhibited by the goth loli girls is quite something to behold… Spotted here.

Lucky Star OVA Delayed

Lucky Star's Izumi Konata らき☆すた - 泉 こなた

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.

Lucky Star Shinto

Lucky Star's Konata and Kagami depicted as Fujin and Raijin - らき☆すた 泉こなた 柊かがみ 風神雷神図

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. Via WarenChan.
