The Cast of "Lucky Star" Have a New York Nightmare

the strange things you find when you dig through your Youtube channel.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-12-30 09:13:09

bump, tho

Eelektross · 2012-12-30 22:43:55

...that was

something

Corporal Forsythe · 2012-12-30 23:32:12

During dinner one night in Tokyo I explained to everyone at the table that one time I showed a stoner friend of mine an episode of Lucky Star and his reaction

everyone at the table was dying laughing

yup.

RocketRunner · 2012-12-31 04:14:43

^^Amazing, considering that, apparently, nothing really happens in that series.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-12-31 04:21:18

There's a vague arc about the girls' gradual advance toward graduation, but it's one of those low-key derpy comedies the Japanese like so much.

RocketRunner · 2012-12-31 04:21:48

I saw a commentary of it by Triox45.

I don't know who that is or what significance that has, but OK.

RocketRunner · 2012-12-31 04:32:51

This guy. He does Point Man's Mind, anime commentaries like these, and Let's Plays. Pretty cool guy, I think, if heavily opinionated.

See that's what did it

My stoned friend was all "what the fuck -- all they do is talk about fuckin' FOOD" and then whenever that one character talks about how she names that one chicken and egg dish "the relative bowl" his mind was shattered

Corporal Forsythe · 2012-12-31 04:53:10

also, I did enjoy Lucky Star. I think as far as that sort of comedy goes ("slice of life" is a fucking retarded label and I refuse to use it) it's pretty funny

RocketRunner · 2012-12-31 05:07:12

Yeah, don't watch the above, then, cause he didn't like it.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-12-31 05:07:57

I don't understand how Lucky*Star got its reputation as a show for pedophiles and such.

I mean it's pretty obviously a comedy.

also the other day I had a friend suggest to me that there should be an otaku rapper named Lucky $tar. Considering that of all four or so otaku rappers that exist, only one is even sort of good (that'd be Richie Branson), I could not agree with her suggestion.

allow me to paraphrase what I am 99% sure is the entirety of that video:

"BAAAAAAAAAAAW MOE CANCER!!!!!1 not enuff EXPLOSIONS in this ANIMAY"

RocketRunner · 2012-12-31 05:10:05

Nah, he's not a fan of mindless action, either. He didn't enjoy High School of the Dead and Afro Samurai either, for the record.

Lucky Star isn't saccharine, it's high school characters sitting around and talking about food

that's it

really

I'm not kidding, that's all they do

that's news to me

most of the anger I've seen be directed at it is over its observational humor and unlike Azumanga, it never deviates from that for a second

A show about people sitting around and talking about food. That sounds kind of unique actually.

I'd watch it.

Corporal Forsythe · 2012-12-31 11:52:36

I heard a rumor that there might be a season 2 of Lucky Star in the works but that's only rumor

Salix Babylonika · 2012-12-31 14:26:40

I thought there were two seasons.

Anyway, they do do other stuff. Like replicate famous shampoo commercials.

Obā-san · 2012-12-31 14:34:24

shit now i really need to watch this show

Sredni Vashtar · 2012-12-31 14:46:22

I'm... indifferent to Lucky Star, I guess. Too much otaku-baiting.

I do, however, enjoy Azumanga Daioh in small doses, for whatever that's worth...

Bunny · 2012-12-31 14:48:34

Lucky Star is one of the few anime I've watched all the way through and thoroughly enjoyed

I've also heard people take issue with the art style, which I can understand.

^ That's interesting, actually.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-12-31 14:58:51

The art style doesn't bug me too much, it did squishy and candy-colored before everyone else was doing squishy and candy-colored.

Only other show that gets away with that particular art style is Nichijou, imo.

Sredni Vashtar · 2012-12-31 15:09:02

It's strange: I like the way that Nichijou looks, yet I find Lucky Star's aesthetics quite lacklustre. I think it's in the line-work.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-12-31 15:11:37

maybe.

Nichijou also likes to shift art style every couple minutes, tho

Sredni Vashtar · 2012-12-31 15:16:15

That also helps. I just like the whole approach, as far as what I've seen of the show goes.

Salix Babylonika · 2012-12-31 15:16:45

honestly I think the Nichijou's more like Monty Python than anything.

Sredni Vashtar · 2012-12-31 15:17:52

Which explains why I like it.

Sredni Vashtar · 2012-12-31 15:19:31

No, wait it really does!

Nichijou is Monty Python's Flying Circus and Lucky Star is Seinfeld!

glennmagusharvey · 2012-12-31 16:57:40

Usually I understand anime characters' faces to be artistically simplified versions of real people's appearances. As such, I mentally "interpret" their faces by assigning to them an equivalent realistic face...something like that. It's not exactly like that, but it's close.

Konata's face is the first face I've seen for which I could come up with no realistic analogue.
