Yay, new cours means new characters. Welcome Yu-chan and also Minorin’s character, Iwasaki Minami, albeit in a semi-cameo role. Initially I thought I wouldn’t like Yu-chan, since I thought she would be the sugary-sweet type, but thankfully she’s more than that :). Yuki fanboys will love Minorin’s latest role too, the silent and cool type [...]

The Question: Best Representation of Comiket? 9 people answered “Genshiken” (expected) 7 people answered “Lucky Star” (I actually find this less accurate) 2 people answered “Otaku no Video” (WTF? Maybe because it’s old…) 1 person answered “Your Basement” (the joke answer, less popular this time!) 0 people answered “Comic Party” (’kay) Now I have to be honest, I have never, ever [...]

Katou Emiri 加藤英美里 (left) and Fukuhara Kaori 福原香織, the voice actresses for twins Kagami and Tsukasa in Lucky Star appeared on a top Japanese anime radio show on Saturday and were surprised with a cake for their characters' birthday.The A&G Anisupa show is hosted by Washizaki Takeshi and Asano Masumi (bottom photo, far right, far left)). They also played two songs from the soon-to-be-released Lucky Star karaoke ED compilation: "Sailor Suit and Machine Gun" (Kagami) and "Valentine Day Kiss" (Tsukasa).Washizaki-san commented that "Sailor Suit and Machine Gun" sounded as if it had been recorded in one take, that it sounded like real karaoke. Fukuhara-san replied that was true, that the recording was done that way to give it the natural feel of a real karaoke session.The ED compilation is hilarious. Check out the final part of Hirano Aya's full version of "Cha-la Head Cha-la" here. And "Monkey Magic" here. Here is Katou Emiri's Sailor Suit and Machine Gun. And here is Fukuhara Kaori's "Valentine Day Kiss."

Konata’s teasing of Kagami impresses me to no end. I’ve got to learn from her. In fact, I’ve got a sister that I can tease about eating too much food as well. (...)

I can’t really say I liked this episode as much as the others, it just seemed a bit more bland among things.  Though it is an x-mas episode I’m watching in July…so, I think that calls for some leeway…maybe. So overall for me the episode was all right.  There wasn’t just as many references, topics, [...]

Aya Hirano is crack. Damn crack. She’s like freaking high on herself lol. First off, her “Sore ga ai deshou” was pretty bland, until the 3rd minute where she goes high and starts singing in alternate serious and Konata voice. God, I so LMAO’ed. Next, MONKEY MAGIC is even more crack. Why? Aaya-chan failing hard singing in [...]

Here’s a super blur and shaky video of the performance: Head to the gallery for more cosplay pictures from the event (including the SOS-dan [...]
