The latest chaos MAD to emerge from the collective remix engine that is NicoNico Douga is “Konata Zone”, unsurprisingly incorporating Konata of Lucky Star in large amounts, along with Kagami and Tsukasa.
Tsukasa’s recorder solo is rather incredible…

A fan has either made this incredibly tiny, yet recognisable, miko Hiiragi Tsukasa micro-figure, or as 2ch would have it, he has made an enormous ¥100 coin. Either would be quite impressive.

In this intriguing parody image, Lucky Star’s beloved Tsukasa is redrawn using the illustrative styles of 33 different anime and manga. How many can you identify?

The direct sequel to the hugely popular (600,000 playbacks on Nico) Night of Tsukasa MAD, this one features Lucky Star’s Tsukasa “supponpon”, or naked (briefly). See how many references to other recent MADness you can spot in between the inevitable TN-TN repetition:

Lucky Star’s Tsukasa and Kagami seem to be the object of true mania for at least one 2channer, who shares with us the results of his obsession.
Hapless onlookers in the same thread begged to be told it was CG or otherwise, but the image below was the followup:

Some observant souls on 2ch spotted this rather glaring and extremely painful looking mistake in the animation in the recent Lucky Star OVA.

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:

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.

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.

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):

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.
