What? Actually you don't make much sense. You're comparing different art styles. If you look at the manga, L*S is drawn in a sort of Peanuts style (large cute heads and small bodies). L*S characters are somewhat like caricatures (like a portrait you might get from some artists at festivals). Its not meant to be realistic looking. Negima is drawn in a more "realist" but Marvel Comic over-the-top kind of way. You're comparing apples and rocks.
Some fan artists have taken decent stabs at portraying the L*S characters "realistically" with good results.

Has Lucky*Star Increased Miko Enrollment and Popularity?
Hi All!
While amused by how shrines are cashing in on Lucky*Star, I'm wondering since the show aired whether there's been a rise of popularity in becoming shrine maidens and among what ages, the resume required and whether such have established a miko association of sorts in Japan (or worldwide? Are there any in the U.S.A.?). It's useless for me to Google for this because I can't read Japanese websites or newspaper sites. Also, if anyone has any pixs relating to this please flash them! Thanks! Dee "Miyuki's Spaced-Out Secret", "Kanata: Totally Dead??", "Kanata's Dream", and soon "The Yamato Effect" sneak preview on ff.net . |

There is only one Shinto shrine in the US (at least registered) and it is located in Washington state NE of Seattle. They don't have any regular miko; the daughters of members take the role during the appropriate holiday. http://www.tsubakishrine.org/
As far as I know, only the shrine used as the sister's shrine in L*S has done anything to "cash in" on the L*S connection. Being a miko in Japan is an old tradition and at least, outside of Tokyo, still quite common -- I've not heard of any "increase in applications" because of L*S. I always like it when an anime at least *reminds* the viewers of their Shinto heritage and how important that is culturally. Of course, the folk (non-state) versions of Shinto remain one of my favorite interpretations of nature.

No wonder wife beatings are up! (funny how even Kagami was concerned of that issue in some ep). Quote:
After all he did describe her as the trophy bishōjo mate, didn't he? Outside of voicing some disfavors (like end of 22) I kinda doubt she challenged him all that much. (What ep? : "I'd drag Kanata around all the time...") Stand by your (creepy) man while he drools over lilicon manga and sim games and ogles lil' girls passing by? I don't think so!Quote:

Have Anime Characters Ever Had Name Changes??
Hi!
Just jumping in a mo' with a question on something some here say has never happened: Are there any examples of the names of anime characters being changed for foreign viewers for various/sensitive reasons? And to follow that up, what English names would you feel (even if you don't believe in the idea - for fun you know??) would most fit a Lucky Star character??

I know in Slam Dunk Mitsui was given a nickname of 'Mitch', i don't know how often it was used though as I've only had about 5 mins of exposure to the official English manga this one time at Borders. But considering it's not a total name-change it's not that bad of a thing, in fact i actually found it to be quite a positive addition to the manga to be honest.
In Initial D however they changed almost every single characters name along with various other stuff in an attempt to 'Americanize' it to their wanted 'Fast and Furious' image that they were aiming for. Another name-change i can think of would be Dragonball Z. Satan > Hercules for obvious reasons of course lol ![]() If Lucky Star were to ever have name-changes, I'd much prefer if it be something like the Dragonball Z and Slam Dunk ones unlike the butchery that went on in Initial D.

Hi All!
In the wake of The Hare-Lipped One's birthday (one more till the big 2-0 right?), I'd like to ask anyone with the manga just what presents did she receive from the girls and maybe dad? My imagination's flushed out! (or grossed out when it comes to Soujirou!)

Best English Names For The Quad
Quote:
Well, to follow that up as a lark, I'd really like to see just how creative and inventive people here are and hatch some English-equivalent names for the quad. Like, I've checked out Japanese names dictionaries for "Miyuki" which roughly translates to "joyful beauty" but I'm having a devil of a time coming up with the right combinations or rehash of English names to match that. (And forget trying Yamato!) So if anyone can whip up some head-on Jap-equivalent English names for the gang I'd love to hear them! Take care! Dee |

Happy B-Day To The Twins!
(Well, here's hoping I don't get snagged for double-posting this again, but-)
Happy Birthday Tweedle Smart and Tweedle -- oh, er I mean Kagami & Tsukasa, perpetually 17 again! ![]() May Kaggie renew her miko vows of chastity before Konata and not get caught slipping Finals crib notes to Tsukasa (who's still wondering who REALLY came out first)... Dee |
