This may be old news to some but I noticed this on the Bandai North America site:

Quote:

March 2, 2009 (Cypress, CA) – Bandai Entertainment Inc. and Kadokawa Pictures USA announced at Wondercon that the LUCKY STAR OVA would be released in North America.
Based on the manga by Kagami Yoshimizu, Lucky Star has already been adapted to anime as a 24 episode series currently available on DVD from Bandai Entertainment and Kadokawa Pictures USA. The OVA (Original Video Animation) features short anime vignettes of the series characters. Lucky Star's main character is Konata Izumi, a lazy high school girl who isn't interested in anything besides anime and video games.
Information on the release date and spec TBD.

I have no information on when it might be released.....

I thought the OVA was very satisfying. In response to the thought about what people have said, I think the cherry one was fine in it's location. It's simple and allows for all the characters to be show right away, as well as that it is one of the more 'normal' lucky star skits. In my opinion, only that one and the lost in the woods skit were closer to regular lucky star. The MMO, Dream, and Pet Shop ones were very different in content that normal lucky star, and I don't think they would have fared well first. The Volleyball one wouldn't have fit too well there either, but maybe that's a possibility... But it stays in the same place the whole time.

As far as canon, is it possible that, if L*S never moves to a second season, them turning into frogs will be the official anime ending? At no place does it ever say it's a dream or a hallucination.

According to Bandai at AnimeExpo 2009, the OVA will be sub only...

I don't know the reasoning behind this, only that it will make me really ponder whether or not I'll purchase it...

Shiroi Hane · 2009-07-13, 18:59

Not an urgent buy for me then as I already have it on DVD and have access to subs for it. Not to mention I still only have the first of the Bandai DVDs as I was waiting for it to come out in the UK (doesn't look like it ever will, but now I just don't have the money).

If Lucky Star ever got a season 2, you know you're gonna get some Endless Eight rants from Konata. -u-

Ithekro · 2009-10-03, 04:30

KyoAni has been Meta enough with the first season I can see that happening.

It would be pretty funny, though. Director fail, lulz. Even though some saw Endless Eight as a grueling waste of time.

About the volleyball scene in the OVA, what is Konata talking about that she thinks is "Cultural literacy for the Japanese"? In the scene where

Spoiler for minispoiler:

bhl88 · 2009-11-11, 23:07

Something about:

The little girl is crying, her tears are coming out or something XD
Kagami: Huh?
Konata: WHAT?! Isn't this a common saying?
Kagami: Only you would say that...

CoolKidsClub · 2009-11-21, 15:22

i jus think all the side characters in Lucky Star r so freaking awesome

Kotohono · 2009-12-04, 01:55

OVA was excellent if you ask me being someone who's played an MMO I found that part absolutely awesome, Kagami's was my favorite after that for obvious reasons yay fan-service

. Though dodge ball, and Cherry were both had some pretty funny parts and very enjoyable. Last two weren't quite as good in terms of humor they were still funny, would have been if I had gotten the Soul eater reference first time I saw it

. Though Lucky Channel was weird as usual I still have to get a 10/10 for how much it got me to laugh, and smile.

(Hiyori_Tamura) · 2009-12-26, 20:09

I gave it a 9 out of 10, because I thought it was a great OVA but...Idk I didn't think it was the GREATEST OVA EVER! But it was still awesome...
I have to say that my favorite Segments were the MMO gaming, Kagami's Cinderella and when they got lost in the mountains. I thought Kagami dressed up as a Vocaloid was so cute >o<

Archon_Wing · 2010-04-12, 01:56

Rofl@ the dream sequence, and Tsukasa going "dot dot dot" on Kagami. Very wtf and hilarious. That in itself makes the OVA gold.

The Following line of "Oh right. I need to send Kona-chan a short email" made it even better for it

Just finished watching this alongside the series. Really enjoyed it, the MMO bits and the final Lucky Channel made it for me, especially when Tsukasa couldn't work out how to speak when she was playing the MMO and when Shiraishi Minoru asked for water in Lucky Channel I cracked up.

Really nice ending to a nice series, shame they never made anymore.

I also wonder,if it was really a dream sequence?

Oblivion · 2011-02-11, 22:23

The frog one I didn't really undetstand it. Can anyone explain it to me better?

Rag · 2011-02-20, 10:24

^ Neither did I. @_@

My fav scene from this OVA was the volleyball scene where she collides with the net, damn, it was so adorable!
