Lucky Star (OVA), Expectations and Speculation

[Vexx]

aye... many thanks to him for helping the fans out here, but the entire live-action sequence audio is 5-10 seconds off sync. Makes that segment almost useless to watch. But the rest is actually one of the better "speedsubs" I've seen.

[Peanutbutter]

Plenty of sub-groups are busy with the new season of animes. I have a feeling this won't be subbed by a decent group out there.

P.S: In my fanboy-ness, I even sent a mail to Strato asking whether he can sub it. No reply till now.

yeah I appreciate the sub, and it's a decent quality for the rest of the OVA, but Lucky Channel is unwatchable for me.

If they really have a MMO with characters from the anime shows, I really do not mind trying.

OMG GTA version!

Ooh, you're very sharp, I didn't even think that the fighting moves were a parody of something ;p. Anyone figure out what the moves were? I have some speculation but my files are gone so I can't double check, . Maybe someone else can do the work of checking (Update, found some videos for some of the stuff).

The first one looks like an "Ice Slash" combo with Frog/Crono and Marle from Chrono Trigger.(Second Attack in video) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMqY_...eature=related The ice is off and it only features the ending part of the combo, I'm sure there's something that fits Nanako's attack closer.

The third combo reminds me of Gen's super combo from Street Fighter Alpha where he slides across the screen to the opponents backside and the opponent is hit with several hits after. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqqQw...eature=related This one is pretty spot on I think, unless there's someone who does a similar flourish with a knife or something ;p.

The second combo with the stab and the punch seems so familiar, I just looked through Xenogear death blows and FF XI weapon skills, none of those though... Anyone out there with more gaming experience or a fresher memory able to enlighten us? ;p, the gamer in me is curious.

How I wish I can get my hands on this OST.

[Amray]

I do apologise if this was posted previously, I have not been here a while. But I just cannot wait, it looks amazing.

hmm... i didnt think about those, but could be...
wonder if anyone has come up with the answer

I think the references in the OVA warrant a new post in the ref list thread.

It feels really weird. The OVA made it very apparent every half minute that they're referencing something, but I don't get most of them. The best laughs I could get were Tsukasa in the RPG, the Hatsune Miku section, and the Code Geass-Zetsubou Sensei-Keroro Gunso triumvirate in the end. The rest felt almost awkward, as if they're filtering out the otakus by seeing who laughs and who gets antsy.

[Miko Miko]

This OVA was good, I preferred the series a lot more but it was nice, very random as wel

4/5

Please delete this if it's inappropriate.

I realized some of you guys have obtained a sub already. Just want to ask, how many groups and which of them has released it already? It's nowhere to be found on the listing. (Is this OVA considered licensed together with the TV anime?)

BTW, all I can say is: Ouch. Poor Misao.

Only due to that does she have the right to say Tsukasa shouldn't cry from hitting the ground.

So far, I only know of one group that has released this (I don't know if I'm allowed to say the name, go search on a tracker). The lack of enthusiasm among subbers on this is actually rather perplexing.

[Vexx]

Actually, giving out locations like that site ("t***sho) is more likely to get you bonked than listing the fansub group.

Typically, the AS stance is that OVAs must be licensed separately from any series that has been licensed. Its a bit unusual for a license to automatically cover all current and future releases related to a brand. Just check the "is licensed" sticky for any unusual details.

[Mr Hat and Clogs]

Finally got around to watching this, and it was utterly random and hilarious.

Makes me wish there was a season 2. Q_Q

[Kagami~n]

I kinda wish that they would liscence it (though because of how much time a release would take, I wouldn't mind if they waited for the rest of us to watch it first), because I'd really like to own it myself. In a format that my DVD player can work with, that is.

I wasn't even aware that a group had released it, all I knew of was an individual on crunchyroll.

[Evayo]

Wait, are we talking American distribution? I'd prefer it if Bandai reserved the license for this OVA.

~:Evayo:~

[Jintor]

That Ova was weird.

[phishn37]

Yeah, I hope Bandai handles it. They always have such nice DVD box sets and extras and stuff... and are quite good at making me spend a lot of money.

[Kamatari]

I've added what I know of the references in the OVA, as well as what I didn't know that 2ch users apparently do, to the ANN trivia page (mine are the last 37 entries or so). Feel free to add to it if you'd like.
