I don't see how you found Miyuki to be less shallow than others. Miyuki didn't get the amount of screentime that others got, especially the extended scenes in the latter episodes about their families' lives etc. |

And I meant less shallow in terms of overall personality, not character development. In looking at the main group I found that Konata was basically mostly about material interests. Tsukasa was basically a moeblob with no real backbone or purpose to act as other then a foil for Konata and Kagami....well Kagami was okay I think and I appreciated her displays of sisterly love and her often being the most rational of the group. Though like any of them she knew how to have a good time when it counted. Miyuki just clicked with me on some level I can't explain though, she was a friendly sort, she had common sense, she was talented, but humble, a bit klutzy........She kind of reminds me of the type of character Rick Moranis used to play. |

Well, here's what the manga has to say about the Hiragi twins and Miyuki, in one sentence (my rough translation from my Chinese copy):
Tsukasa: A klutzy girl who lives life according to her speed (按照自己步调生活的糊涂少女) Kagami: the normal person who never stops worrying (从不间断劳心的正常人) Miyuki: The one who supports everyone in the dark (暗中支撑着大家的人) Tsukasa may not be smart, but her simple mind is probably what most of us need after a tense day at work.

Well, yea. To me, Miyuki was always underplayed as the Lucky Star main trio's auxiliary or like a "bridge" between the trio and the "new" L*S batch. She always had a funny eye-candy draw mascot feel to me. Like you'd thought if she was so darn umber-moe they'd given her way more play. Maybe it was the salmon-blond thing that demoted her. Or maybe she was just "too perfect" and pumped-up would've dimmed out the others, what her trophy bod, computer brain, traditional etiquette, athletic prowess, the coy knockout-in-glasses thing, world-traveler keen and a kind of cute spaced-out social cluelessness reminiscent of Tsukasa (gee, I'm jealous of her already!). Though Miyuki wasn't deep into games, her performance in the ones she did play even floored Konata. She was almost like the trio all wrapped up in one bright curvy cheesecake package, and there might even be a "wild" side of Miyuki we haven't seen yet but that door's open since we know so little of her home life. I hope the OVA does her better this time 'round – at least better than the L*S games or Pocket Travelers and Murder Mystery. (I don't have the manga so I don't know how they treat her there). But what I really wanna know is how the heck she got so far in high school without any guys playing her tail! Dee Miyuki's Spaced-Out Secret txt - Miyuki's Spaced-Out Secret PDF .

Not enough people bit into the whole clueless bookworm moe or whatever she is. Or maybe the fact that the others were more interesting to so many more people forced Miyuki into the shadows. |

Well, the only member of Miyuki's immediate family that's never seen is her father. He does exist, as Miyuki once mentioned him in the "2 million yen blowout". Again, manga-only.

I do not have the translation, but one of the tracks involve Minami (Matsuki Miyu) meeting Yutaka (Shimizu Ai) for the first time.

So sorry I don't really have the time to learn Japanese (or own a PS2) because I'd set up a site just to do translated transcripts of the manga and Lucky Star Ryouou Gakuen Outousai. No art. Just the pure text. Like my highest fantasy would be to fandub them but I'm lame at doing different voices! In fact I'm kinda surprised a fansub CD collection of fandubbed L*S stories all over the web hasn't popped yet! Quote:

I've never been very big on those types of popularity polls that can decide the fate of a character. I'd prefer to see them at least try to make her case a little more. Well they did....sort of? I don't know what else to say really other then that I'm disappointed if they actually did cave to the Otaku crowd who wanted as much Konata as possible even if it came at the expense of some other characters.

That said, and noticing how even the Powerpuff Girls Z crowd have their own on-line fanzine manga by awesome Yuji Battakun (which looks EXACTLY like the official PPGZ manga), it'd be kinda nice to take aside one of these great Lucky Star fan artists who are spinning their wheels and churning out nice but repetitious Lucky Star artwork on Deviant Art and Raki-Suta and ask them to more productively (and excitingly) ply their pens or brushes or whatever to drawing online Lucky Star mangas under diff writers, only this time with a more prominent (or starring??) mysterious Miyuki for once! To me, as long as you follow manga canon and studied the tone of the original manga to capture the same look and feel that fans all agree on, it make no diff whether the strip's done by a deep-steeped fan or Yoshimizu Kagami himself (and really, since L*S struck gold as an anime just how much of that manga's REALLY done by him now, huh?). Like if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck... Now the coolest thing to me is all these fan-created mangas and strips are just a tantalizing dress-rehearsal to the "real thing" via Desktop Animation Production. I got a peek at a raw "wireframe" version of this in Denver's "Toaster Works", (and it's kind of like a blend of theater and stage direction software and a morphing program on steroids which shapes your characters moves in motion. They're aiming for "Disney grade" animation quality). Shouldn't really be much longer before this stuff comes out, but it'll really change how pop anime and manga characters are viewed and featured. I mean imagine your fav (or original!) manga/anime characters in adventures and scenarios an animation studio wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole, but it looks just like they did it! Gee, imagine the impact on OVAs and the whole nine yards! Okay, okay, secretly I'd LOVE to be a voice talent for these fan animes, but if DAP prices fall to earth over time from the thousands I'm sure they'll debut as, I've a feeling there'll be plenty of regular and original fan anime characters to chose doing. Anyway, that's my two yen on the issue (Go Yuki!). Dee Miyuki's Spaced-Out Secret txt - Miyuki's Spaced-Out Secret with images PDF . |
