I am anticipating this supposed new OP sequence.

I Dunno About You But Im Starting To See A Pattern Here. We Getting A Good Episode Followed By An Average Mediocre Episode. Therefore By Rule This Episode Will Be "Meh" So To Speak...

P.V.

Whatever the new OP sequence is, if there is one, the reaction will be extreme - either it sucks because the first one is so surprising and impressive, or it'll shock us by outdoing even the former.

Each episode airs Sunday at 00:30 in Japan, right? It's Saturday 23:30 Central Daylight Time right now, which means the episode is already done and aired, right?

Might have to start searching for this new OP right away. It's bound to be spreading on the web already.

Oi, where are you getting your numbers from? There's a 10-hour difference between Central American time and Japan. The episode airs at 0:30 of Sunday, which means 10:30 AM tomorrow ;)

So then you're saying it's a misnomer. While you could say Lucky Star airs "Sunday night," it is technically already Monday by the 00:30 airtime.

I understand there's a ten-hour difference if you travel west from USA to Japan, but you also cross the international date line going west.

As of my post, it is 14:14 Sunday afternoon in Japan.

Nico Nico Douga doesn't have it yet, as of this post. Given my luck, it will be there right after I post this and go to bed.

By the way, the ep13 preview has some really freaky Kagami. Personally, I don't have such high hopes of the new OP, but that's just me.

Sorry...I got a bit pessimistic tonight for no good reason.

It'll probably be the same type of dance song only of course with a different tune and lyrics, but same overall sound. As such it will likely be well received if not simply for a connection to Haruhi. Regardless of anything it's existence makes it a chart topper. I of course have to assume it will be sung by Aya Hirano and The Stars again.

The question I'm curious to have answered is would people prefer a repeat of Sailor Fuku or for them to try something different post Haruhi or if anything is fine as long as it's done by Aya Hirano.

I will say, even in the other forums, people are getting tired of the "Haruhi"-ites who don't just like/dislike Lucky*Star for what it is. They're only there because of the assumed connections to "other entities".

Reminds me of people who show up to concerts and they have no idea who the group is... they just know its an "in" thing to be at. That's the feeling I get sometimes reading some posts.

A new OP would be interesting but I kind of like the one they're using... I suppose the new one will make more use of the incoming characters. In the end, I still have the manga to read :)

No, no no, I really don't care if Aya Hirano never sings another song in her life. :heh: It's OK if she does, but it's most certainly OK if she doesn't... Not necessarily for her career, but I'm not talking about that anyways. :heh:

I would actually prefer to keep Motteke Sailor Fuku because it's already a really great intro, and it's not as if L*S is going to be a loong series anyways. A new intro would be nice, but I feel that it's unnecessary, is all.

Wait...new intro? GTFO with that, I like the original.

Lucky Star airs for me at 8:30 AM PST, and this week I'll be sadly waiting for an opportunity to get my Motteke! Sailor Fuku CD to get signed. I'm hoping that I'll get some sort of Internet connection outside the convention center so that I can login to Nico Nico Douga.

In all honesty, me too. However, pressures to launch a new Single may have gotten the best of Motteke Sailor Fuku. It's alright in my books really and certainly unique for a song sung by an Idol and her co-workers. There seems to be an unspoken rule in the industry these days though that you must introduce a new opening and get a new song out every 13 or so episodes. Only a few 26+ episode series dare to break this rule anymore, but I honestly can't think of any.

It's not a misnomer. Japanese television is from 400-2800 therefore eliminating any ambiguity of what day stuf airs. It airs at 2430 Sunday.

im giving it a 7/10 already since i know Lucky Star is good though i didnt know that theres going to be a new op(or is it a rumor)

Eh...
How can you rate an episode you haven't seen yet. An unaired episode, to boot! :confused:

Gah! The video should be up already on NicoNico but I can't login because there are too many people logged in! (and I don't have a subscriber account :(). I have to wait till 2 AM Japan time (an hour from now).

I want to see the new OP...

I should have it and ready in about... er... 30ish minutes, I hope?

EDIT: find it in the usual places... BTW, no new OP but an AWESOME ED ;)

I thought the site flat out denies access from non-Japanese IP addresses in a certain timeframe.
