well supposedly Akira's supposed to show up but hten somehow i got this April Fools prank from Minoru so hopefully just for laughs she'll show up this time around
i totally agree with you. I got the whole April Fool's vibe from Minoru too but i guess we'll see. Enjoy it tomorrow you Japanese speakers because losers like me wait for fansubs for the win.

I hope we get to see more Misao/Ayano, I already like them.
Wonder what the title "Ring" means, the horror movie?
Not particularly looking forward to Akira live (w/ the recent Shiraishi rampage, I'm currently at netrual w/ LC), but I can see it being lolsauce.
And while we are all so patiently waiting for Ep. 16, here's an update of Lucky Star in SaiMoe 07:
Spoiler:
Mrs. Hiiragi and the two elder Hiiragi sisters didn't make it to the Top 8 in their respective groups like Kanata did, but they did well on their own for someone having less than 30 sec of appearance (Believe they all got rank 9-15, thus entering the revival round).
Just finished is group 15, w/ our beloved Twin-Tail Tsundere in it. As expected Kagamin totally dominated the round by having 250 more votes than the 2nd place and almost double that of the 3rd.
Not only that, but she also broke not 1 but 3 records of this year's SaiMoe:
- Highest votes in prelimnary round w/ 993. Beating the previous record holder Suigintou's 913 (Interestingly, Suigintou was the one who topped Kona after a hard battle, sweet sweet revenge I say XD)
- Highest voting rate(percentage of all voters voted for her) w/ 56.0%, previous being 51.4%. (Shows her domination in the group, which, to be fair, is relatively weak)
- Lowest fake votes, only 8. (everybody <3 Kagamin)
And finally even more impressive is that Kagamin achieved all these while in a relatively weak group: Had there been a strong competitor, her votes would have no doubt broken 1000.
All in all, Kagamin is popular as everyone thought and more. Maybe a little too popular, that in the finals she might be subject to the grudge of the Rozen Maiden/Nanoha fanatics.
Miwiki (saw the nickname on someone's blog, thought it fitting) is in the last group 18 which is in 3 days. I don't know much about her group but she should have no problem making the top 8 at least.
Don't be scared by the tons of pics featuring Konata in Haruhi cosplay; is rather short and makes sense. The girls just happen to visit Konata at the Cosplay Cafe she works at.
Patty Martin!
The rest of the episode might very well be mostly LS manga material; manga readers should be able to clarify this for the rest of us.
LOL @ Akira's live event! And damn, she can sing- oops, spoilers!
It has aired. I suspect many are going to hate it. I definitely didn't.
Spoiler for Some Ep 16 things, and since people insist on these tags:
Instant uuu face.
Karaoke returns... sorta
Akira gets her Live... sorta
Non shirashi ED
Lots and lots of Haruhi, the entire cast shows up
Hare Hare dance....
Poor tsukasa looking like a to heart character
Aya hirano doing an amazing back and forth between her voices
No, that is not wakamoto.
Also, for those who have nico accounts, find a copy with the commercials intact. There is an extra bonus after the ending song.
Everything I predicted has come true. *Bows* Thank You. Thank You. There's a reason why I titled my blog article on episode 15 as "Lucky Staruhi Episode 15 Examination". It's interesting that everytime I think the invasion of the series is over, I'm proven wrong.
Lots of Haruhi huh? Well thanks for the headsup. LS becoming a big Haruhi 2nd season commercial was my biggest fear 2, 3 ep. ago, guess eventually it has to come.
I really wonder what does the LS original author feel about KyoAni's toying w/ his work.

I'm worried about all the Haruhi when I catch up to it... I want to watch L*S, not ads for Haruhi!
And IMO, I would think any mangaka (except CLAMP ) would feel especially honored to have their manga become an anime, so much so that they may feel wrong about complaining.

It really isn't as bad as people are worrying about. Konata is an otaku with male tastes. All but a handful of things would be perfectly reasonable to expect to find in such a situation like a cosplay cafe with haruhi cosplay or konata having a haruhi song as her ring tone.

I suspect Yoshimizu is elated and glad that KyoAni is making him rich. Only real income a manga-ka gets is royalties from tankouban sales. I can imagine what's happening to L*S manga sales right now. Aside from the OL references, I believe as an otaku he's loving all those ota-references. Like I've said before, Haruhi is family. L*S plugging Haruhi is normal and fits the story.
OMG, the best L*S episode, ever. Every characters introduced so far made an appearance (oh, exept Yui, too bad), and a new character. And supprisingly L*C and the ED was superb .
