Hell and Heaven Moéltdown

Unable to screenshot the pictures or anything, but here’s the facts in today’s shortpost:
The famous Lucky Star coronet eating scene (“What end do you eat it from?”) in episode 1…has a twin brother. *dramatic revelation music*
Set the stage: Azumanga Daioh episode 16, the 2nd Culture Festival. Osaka and Chiyo, on their break, are eating taiyaki.
Osaka: “Y’know how some people eat taiyaki starting from the end and others eat it starting from the tail? Which do you start eating it from?”
Surely these kind of conversations aren’t incredibly common. But, the question is; coincidence, or something far more sinister?
To be honest though, a parody in this style is too subtle for Lucky Star of the Haruhi Vans/Doujins/Figurines/Ringtones/Books/DVDs/Message Boards/Conversations. C’mon, at least get some diversity in there.

The “12 Days of Christmas” series is a joint feature by some members of the Anime Blogging Collective recognizing twelve moments, twelve series, or just twelve things about anime that we’ve enjoyed over the past year, that really make us enjoy loving what we do, and that is being an anime fan. Feel free to [...]

“Which end of a choco coronet do you start from?”
The one thing I can really say about Lucky Star is that it’s not Azumanga Daioh.
Not a good thing.
Not a bad thing.
Just a fact.
Maybe an overstated fact, but one that needs to be said. Both series are arguably very successful slice-of-school-life anime adapted from 4-panel comic [...]

Azumanga Daioh is a show about everything and nothing. It’s so unfunny at times it’s funny and sometimes it tries to be so funny that it’s not. Whatever it may be, it’s certainly one of the bigger-name shows, being the benchmark to which many slice-of-life/4-koma anime have been compared to. Rightfully?
Probably. I can certainly say [...]

Just a short newspost for today, since it’s something I heard of off the AnimeSuki forums and haven’t seen much news about recently (maybe since it’s originally two months old, anyway, but right now is prime time for Lucky Star).
Short story shorter, the Lucky Star bandwagon marches on as the manga and quite popular anime [...]

Evil Miyuki not related, but highly interesting.
One of the most famous and/or infamous aspects of Lucky Star is the references. The constant allusions to past and present anime series either thrill or annoy fans. Somehow it almost seems like that like/hate ratio is similar to the percentage of people that can correctly identify the reference.
Part [...]

There really is no coherent intro to go with a Lucky Star episode to be honest. I mean, with most other anime I can talk about what happened last time, or in what direction it’s headed, or perhaps make a lame joke based on the content, but Lucky Star…can you imagine an intro based on [...]

So, as you may recall from a few days ago, I watched the first episode of Azumanga Daioh, and didn’t think very highly of it. I thought it a pointless, plotless anime with overused and overstretched gags that were occasionally funny but mostly predictable.
Now, if you will direct your attention to the title of the [...]

I think that shall be the new title for Azumanga Daioh around our household, “What”.
It’s similar to the ol’ “Who’s on First?” skit. For when I sat down to watch the first ‘episode’ – which, apparently, consists of a bunch of 5-minute skits piled together, not unlike Monty Python or most other 4-panel animes, my [...]

It’s still a good series, but it’s beginning to feel like more of the same.
Maybe that’s the issue with slice-of-life/school days stories, in that since there’s not a lot of plot or exposition, it’s mostly a lot of the same gags used before, in subtly different ways. You can Konata being a video game geek [...]

Pop quiz: find the common element between all of the following:
1) Video game addiction
2) Homework
3) Cell phones
4) Tsunderes
5) Grown men in pigtails
6) Keroro
7) Haruhi
8) Drifting hatchbacks (not pictured)
Answer: Lucky Star, of course. It’s about as random and all-encompassing as can be, and still as crack as ever, both in content and in addictiveness.
Wonder what happened [...]

Awesome find, dude! I did not realize that, having seen both series. Good memory you have.
