Gave it an 8.

KyoAni did well to provide most of the characters with ample screentime, however Konata's dad and cousin Yui were painfully absent. I liked the Cherry and volleyball arcs the best. Still don't really get that pet shop one though.

The reason I didn't give it a higher score was that it didn't really feel as Lucky Star-ish as the main series for some reason. Hard to put my finger on it...I think because the scenes had more distinctive transitions and conclusions, and were longer than the skits found in the original 24 episodes. While I feel like I can pick up and watch any episode of the main series at random and enjoy it, I'm not sure I can say the same for the OVA.

Cloudkiller1 2008-10-10 03:34

@Eczema

Pet shop of horrors maybe? *shrugs* Nor have I watched it either. Though that came to mind first for some reason. And I am probably dead wrong as well. It had a Princess Resurrection/Monster feel to it as well.

I also gave it an 8/10. More like a 8.5 but meh.
Anywho.. though I feel that the the transition between each arc felt kinda random if not, non-sensical sometimes. Though that was my only complaint about this OVA. All in all it was a very enjoyable watch and I'll probably watch it again sometime later to catch some of the other references.

My favorite arc had to be the MMO one, kinda reminded me of myself. :D No, I'm not a nana-kon player type.. >.> Also nice to see little miyuki references too. :D

If any of this warrants a spoiler please let me know and I'll fix it promptly.

Just rewatched the OVA by EnA. Just a question about the Kagami dream scene...

Spoiler for Just in case:


And the live-action Lucky Channel was okay, albeit a bit long. Akira's VA is cute, but it was weird putting a face to that voice.

Solafighter 2008-10-10 05:50

"Perfect". :cool:

About that scene:

Spoiler:


I thought Lucky Channel was alright. Even if you had seen the regular season, you've already seen the live VAs of Akira and Minoru. It's the fearsome foursome (and the rest) which we dun really get to see.

I gave it a 7/10 after the raw, keeping it the same after seeing subs. For one thing, it doesn't involve the usual sitting down and talking about topics which are endless and have no answers. And Yutaka and co was kept to that one scene.

phishn37 2008-10-10 08:10

Thank you for making a thread just for the OVA! These are no longer expectations or speculations.

Jintor 2008-10-10 08:22

I dunno. I think it really went overboard with the gratitous animuz references, but then, what do I know? D:

Somebody earlier in the thread said that it didn't feel very lucky-starish to them, and it was hard to tell why. I have that exact same feeling, though I can't isolate exactly why, but I suspect that I only really enjoyed it because it was more Lucky Star after a long hiatus. I don't know if I'll be watching it again.

Konata's dad needed more screentime, and I wish there had been some sembelence of a plot instead of "THESE ARE THE HOLIDAYS LET'S SEE WHAT WHACKY ADVENTURES THESE KIDS GET UP TO". Still, nyeh, it was still pretty cool.

Jebus though that Pet Shop of Horrors bit creeped me the fark out.

All in all, a 7/10.

Mecha_Trueno 2008-10-10 08:59

oh, didn't notice a new thread. actually i think the poll should be "which story was your favourite?"


anyway...

Apparently, the key words involved is the first word which can be "Konata" or "anata" and the "blipped-out" part. I guess those who knows Japanese can explain better than me.

the first word can't be "anata". all we get to hear is "ko*******shitai"

Okay, maybe I forgot a few things or two. :heh:

Shiryuu 2008-10-10 10:49

The dog beating the geek girl and mmo/afk parts were the funniest of the ova. Pet shop was confusing.

So does it stop with the ova or is there another season coming (like School Rumble did)?

risingstar3110 2008-10-10 11:04

Pretty enjoyable, still i would rather have a Karaoke ending than 6 minutes of live lucky channel.....

Spoiler for OVA:


10/10 for enjoyment and give me some good laugh. The ending was not worth to mention

Nukerjsr 2008-10-10 12:05

I've decided to change my original vote from a 9/10 to a 10/10. Thanks to me watching the OVA over and the acquirement of better subs, the charm has started to grow on me a bit better.

Still, I feel a little annoyed by the lack of Yutaka, Minami, Hiyori and Patricia, but that's the only issue I have. The 6th scene despite how weird it is, is rather interesting as the cover the references and how things are handled in a strange manner. The 5th scene feels a bit sweeter and more genuine. Probably though the best thing I noticed from the new subs was in the 3rd scene.

When Misao hugs Kagami and you hear her mutter: Love. So cute. ^_^

-Kh- 2008-10-10 12:33

I think it was a really good OVA. The best part was the MMO arc, seing Kagami play a game, and Tsukasa not knowing how to chat, was so cute.

And the Cinderella arc ended in such a fantastic way.

The Lucky Channel live was great too, the only thing that could have been better was Hiromi's facial expression, it wasn't very Akira-sama like.

Avacado Burger 2008-10-10 12:43

Spoiler for Dream:


This scene: Priceless. Especially with the drool coming off her mouth, and Tsukasa's reaction.

Looks like someone's been reading my mind..

Kagami~n 2008-10-10 14:06

I liked that scene too. :: icon point ::

I gave it a 9, mostly because I don't believe anything in this world is perfect....

.... except maybe my cat.

The OVA really didn't do anything below my expectations. I expected slightly better animation, got that. I expected a mindless tossing-together of random scenarios, got that. I also expected more fan-pandering and references, and we got that. Not that I really mind that stuff.

Though a lot of points made me laugh, nothing will top Tsukasa's reaction to Kagami's sleeptalking. That was so many points of awesome. As for what she really said, I'm as much in the dark as anyone, but that's okay. I'm a fan of Konata/Kagami, so I love loosely interpreted subtext. :P

That whole 'lost in the woods' thing was probably the most harrowing ordeal we've had to see the girls go through, if I think about it. Unless you count Comiket.

I've gotta find this new torrent. Till it comes out on DVD I'm gonna need something to go back to when the Lucky Star uge rises.

Ithekro 2008-10-10 15:14

Being alone in the wood is far less frightening than being alone in a crowd.

Vexx 2008-10-10 16:46

Gave it an "8" (very good) because it was all over the place in terms of hilarious to banal to oddly arranged (the dog skit might have fared better in the middle).
So for many of the "10" moments there was were enough "6" moments to pull it down.

rainnydaiis 2008-10-10 19:11

I gave it a 10 mainly for the fact, that I've been missing lucky star like a mad man. Also the fact that it just lived up to what I wanted to see. Especially the MMORPG part is one of the skits I enjoyed the most. Also hearing that it might really be turned into a game is news I'm still waiting on.

She's saying "cos tai" (I want to cos). Maybe it's the slurring that threw some people off (including Japanese, apparently, what with the "gattai" interpretation...), but it was easy to decipher to me.

SaintessHeart 2008-10-11 01:22

It is either cosplay or combine.

If it is cosplay, that would be hilarious to see Kagami cosplaying. Miku's costume ACTUALLY fitted her LOL.

If it is combine, I think it would be a reference to Claymore's Luciela and Rafaela.

I am more for the first. Miku-Kagami is so cute.

Sorrow-K 2008-10-11 02:15

Pretty much more of the same. Fans will love it. I thought it was just as hit-and-miss as the main series.

The Shaft-ish dream sequence was pure random, while in the mmorpg sequence it kept feeling like each joke was exactly one line too long. The volleyball sequence and lost-in-the-wilderness sequence didn't do much for me, but I seriously lol'd at the punch line of the Kagami dream sequence.

Anh_Minh 2008-10-11 07:24

I want more. Or MOAR. Whatever.

(Though I could have done without the live action lucky channel.)

kyouray 2008-10-11 10:46

This OVA is pretty good, I want moar ! However there were weird scenes (with frogs) and I'm not a big fan of live action Lucky Channel.
MMO part was the best :D

I've read that's a parody of “The Tower of Druaga ~Recovery of Babylim~”

Zeroryoko1974 2008-10-11 12:32

gave it a 6. Would have givent it higher but the Lucky Channel bit dragged it down. It went on far to long. Patty treating Cherry like Seito was kind of funny

BigGimp77 2008-10-11 17:33

I gave it an 8.

Pretty had all the good and bad from the first season. Some good stories. Some so-so stories. But like the main series, over all an entertaining watch. Shame they didn't get all the characters some screen time.

I was thinking "Omg where the heck is the manga store owner... They HAVE to have him in here somewhere" half way through the OVA. And then the 'AFK scene' came on and it was great.

I also liked the whole dream story. Probably my second favorite scene.

The live action Lucky Channel was weird. I applaud them for trying something new with Lucky Channel skit because it was getting sorta old, but the Live Action didn't really do anything for me.

Overall very enjoyable though. Can't wait to see if they'll do another OVA or anything.

Un1234l 2008-10-11 19:19

7/10. It was enjoyable.

I agree with everyone who said that it doesn't really feel that Lucky-Star-ish. I also can't seem to find out the reason why I have that feeling.

My favourite arcs are the Volleyball arc and the MMO. Animate arc was short, but sweet.

The pet shop arc was really weird. It was confusing; maybe because it was full of references.

References I noticed:
Toilet no Hanako (maybe)
Code Geass
(I am Zero!)
(I will use you up like a ragged cloth!)
Sgt. Keroro
Macross
(Aya Endo, Galactic fairy)
Soul Eater

Imaginer 2008-10-11 21:21

For me, the cute OVA didn't grab my attention until the MMO bit. From there, I enjoyed bits of the Kagami dream sequence and cracked up at the Miku transformation!

And the Anime Tenchou peddler.... SHES AFK!!!!!!!

I think there was a Fate/Stay Night reference in the dream one. One of the costumes was Rin Tohsaka... Anyone care to confirm?

Where was the Soul Eater reference. I missed that.

Utau 2008-10-11 23:03

just watched the episode and.. really, it was nice seeing the 4 main cats again, plus, 4 secondaries and two bangumi's :heh:

overall the episode is great. I felt each main had their time to shine brightly this time round. Kagami and Konata was kind of 'usual' since they were the ones i always notice back in the anime, but, it's still nice. Miyuki and Tsukasa OTOH did great, I pretty much prefer Balsamic's development here simply b;coz 'I've always been following onee-chan's shadow' 'i need to give it all i got' due to Misao's motivation she shined well. The volley match was really sweet and touching, too bad she missed to spike the ball. Which i expected and imo it wouldn't be right if she had successfully hit it.. but still XD for Miyuki, i guess it was her 'reliably calm' onee-chan figure that did it for me, when they were lost she was like.. 'calm down everyone.. we'll be just fine.we'll find the camp soon.' despite her own worries she tries to her best to not say anything negative that will add uneasiness to her companions. Then when her story telling ended, her conversation with her mom made me go "aww..." she seems really happy-shy about it.

the secondary didn't do much but, they were one of the ingredients that spice this ova for me. Specially the RPG gemu, i lol'd at Nanakon for being lvl.15 after their short trip. I knew she has nothing to do during the whole vacation thing :heh:

but seriously, if you can gain that much stats in just getting to lvl.15 gaming would be much more easier XD but i guess that falls in the same category as konata's magic-ala-cinderella-Kagami.

speaking of that.. does that mean Kagami is only 12?
I seem to recall reading that.. oh that was Casper movie when Casper was told Cinderella was 12 years old, thus, the magic will wear off when the clock strikes midnight. Whereas, Casper is 10-11 years old so he only have till 10-11pm.

Oh well.. the LuckyChannel was also funny. i find it more enetertaining the actual animated LC segment.

gave it 10/10 for the fanservice moe.

Yeah yeah, the 3rd costume is Rin Tohsaka. Maybe people claim her as the original tsundere.

It was during the Pet Shop scene when Kagami advised the Konata: "This cat isn't a witch or anything." Kagami's seiyuu also does the voice of Blair from Soul Eater, who isn't a witch. Just a really, powerful kitty.

There's also the three Haruhi references with the pose in the MMO, the return on Konata in the Yuki-Magician outfit and the return of Koi no Mikuru Densetsu on Konata's cell phone.

And there has to be some kind of reference with what Konata's singing in the first scene. According the new, EnA subs, she's singing: "No, because I am a Scorpio woman, I'll laugh heartily until I'm satisfied."

Kagami~n 2008-10-12 01:01

She's singing a song from the 70's by Mikawa Kenichi, "Sasoriza no Onna". I couldn't tell you why, though.

Kinda reminds me of 00's Graham saying about himself as a Virgo....:heh:

My friend told me that all the characters Kagami transformed into are tsundere characters (other than Miku, but she has a perfect "tsun" weapon anyway). Is that true?

Hard to tell...I can't think of too many tsundere mikos or maids. (Though I get this vibe similar to Kagami and Rei Hino from Sailor Moon)

She transforms into a maid, then shrine maiden, then Rin, then Miku. That's it. So only one Tsundere character out of 4.

Anh_Minh 2008-10-12 02:33

Tsundere maid. Tsundere miko. :p
