Theme of Attack No.1

I posted it up on Youtube, shall be the actual one that Tsukasa sang, if my ears are right.

Did anyone catch the Gundam refrence. Jet Stream Attack.

They even had a 24 refrence with type clock countdown when Kagami woke up from her dream.

I thought that was what it was! I recognized it from the episode where Yui, Yutaka and Konata's dad were setting up for Konata's birthday.

I liked the OVA, but the pet scene scared me a little.

ohh thanks ~

Did anyone else catch Patty's "I'm in despair!" reference in the first segment?

I found it amusing that almost everyone (save Konata) was animated left-handed for the volleyball match. I have this sneaky suspicion that it was originally Tsukasa on the left and Kagami on the right, but the scorecard was drawn the wrong way so they just mirrored the scene.

Also, what are the other two background songs in the Volleyball segment? (20:29 and 23:19)

Peanutbutter · 2008-09-28, 01:47

The fearsome foursome are left-handed, with Konata being ambidextrous as well, so there's nothing wrong, I think. Kyoani doesn't get their details wrong.

The scorecard was placed at Shiraishi's side, so it shouldn't be wrong.

As for the BGM, I imagine it's some BGM from the original anime.

lol and konata goes "are you really japanese?"

Ceral · 2008-09-28, 02:32

Spoiler for Where the scenes take place:

The transition from scene to scene was even more discombobulated than usual. Usually we have an event and then some home scenes, or some home and school scenes, here we have a dog sequence, an MMO sequence, a dream sequence, a sports sequence, sort of a survival sequence and than something really bizzarre...

I thought they tried some stuff that was a little new for Lucky Star in this OVA. They didn't have thｅ usual "talking heads" making light of everyday stuff. But I still enjoyed it. Truth be told, I'd probably enjoy about 35 minutes of almost anything as long as I get to see the familiar cast. I thought they could have done better though. I wish there were more lead up to their scenes, it felt like they took a bunch of ideas they had that didn't fit well in the first season and mashed them all together.

While they were doing the MMO scene, I wished they had a more lengthy scene with a bit more plot. Like a scene with a quest and a boss, there's so many MMO jokes you could play on, imagine if Tsukasa had one of her moments during a boss fight that somehow got Nanako killed too. And that would leave Konata and Kagami to take on the boss on their own. They could showcase their teamwork in a tension filled battle, with plenty of the remarks you get with their unique chemistry.

For the dream sequence, it would have been nice if they had the girls saying they had to get off soon to get ready to go out. The field trip and the volleyball match could have used a little briefing in Nanako's familiar 2-B classroom. Before the volleyball match you could have a good spot for fanservice while the girls were changing. For the field trip it'd be a nice place to showcase some familiar whacky driving. I guess there's length issues, you could cut the bizzare pet shop scene out then ;p.

Good stuff nevertheless. Ever since I even heard about Konata talking about MMO's, I've wanted to see inside one of those worlds. It's cool that the OVA delivered that. And also it gave a good dose of Kagamin, my favorite Tsundere. Overall it could have been more fun-filled but I'm happy for any Lucky Star material I can get.

Nukerjsr · 2008-09-28, 02:36

I thought this was brilliant. Good job KyoAni in doing this. I'm a weebit curious, do you that was all made up or did some of that come from the 4koma? ^^; It was just fun because it returns you too the Lucky Star spirit and was just enjoyable all around.

If I had two grievences, it would be these: That 6th Scene was just plain weird...didn't follow up really or make any sense. And I was a bit irritated that the 1st scene was the only one with any of the first year students. Now I hate Minami most of the time, but you just can't help loving her for this one with how she shows so much concern for Cherry. It's just amazing. Plus you mix in some humor from Patricia and Hiyori and an incredibly cute scene with Yutaka, so it just makes you wonder why they didn't appear a bit more.

When Yutaka was singing, I think she was singing to the tune of "Santa Claus is Coming To Town." Just wondering if anyone else noticed that.

Kaioshin Sama · 2008-09-28, 03:01

I'd give it about a 7 out of 10. Better then the last quarter or so of the TV series, but still has that more of the same feel.

Anyway, here's my summary and thoughts if anyone is interested.

Yes, I didn't get that reference. Anyone knows?

NoWay · 2008-09-28, 10:23

There was even a mention of Blue Planet in the pet store sequence. Which is an expensive and awesome animal documentary.

Just about everybody in Lucky Star is left-handed, with the exception of Minami, Mr. Hiiragi, and one or two others. Konata is ambidextrous.

Vexx · 2008-09-28, 16:42

I enjoyed it --- it was entertaining without having to know a single "reference" gag (though a couple of references were just annoying...)

I *even* liked Lucky*Channel because we get to see the two VAs live-action behaving like goofballs.

shaoron · 2008-09-28, 22:11

doesn't maid kagami looked like kyou?

Mercurius · 2008-09-29, 01:31

Now that I understand that the entire volleyball segment is a parody of the Attack No. 1 anime (http://www.dannychoo.com/detail/mac/...hilarious.html) it makes it even funnier. The part where Konata says "are you really Japanese" is probably referring to the line "The tears are coming, she's a girl" which is a from the theme song of Attack No. 1 which I guess was really popular, thus causing her to chide Kagami for not knowing it.

arkxkra · 2008-09-29, 04:01

I lol at the OVA, not bad, quite fun to watch

i don't think there will be more, they'll be graduated soon T__T i'm gonna miss Konata's stupidity

Rice_slayer · 2008-09-29, 08:12

I believe they graduated at the end of the series. I wonder if they will do a season 2 with them in university. I want Haruhi S2 before that happens though...
