Lucky Star - Q & A
This thread is for those with questions about the Lucky Star anime, manga. Please keep discussion about episodes in the relevant threads, the purpose of this thread is to ask questions that can actually be answered as facts from the anime or game.
Make sure you use spoiler tags if your question is about the anime, manga, or any non-anime source. Untagged spoilers are risking a ban. There are two ways to create clearly marked spoiler tags as they are shown in the following: The easy way: By simply clicking on this icon which can be found in the Quick Reply or Reply to Thread template. This is how how grandma creates spoiler tags. orThe macho way: By using those l33t vB codes as shown in the following...

Actually, I use right hand/side for sports but left hand for writing... what does you call that type of person? Anyway on topic, Does 4-koma also has different type of 'Lucky Channel', featuring Akira and the stiff male counterpart? |

Its called "ambidexterous" .... or "equally challenged with both hands" I'm ambi ... I can use chopsticks with either hand and switchhit when golfing/putting and shooting pool. I can write with either hand. ... just none of it exceptionally well The 4-koma comics never mention Lucky Channel --- it is purely an add-on and based on a real life radio show for the fandom. I love it but I also hate it since it takes time away from the meat of the show. I suppose they came up with it to pad out the show since they're probably not going to do the four volumes released so far in detail (like Azumanga did with their 4 volume manga when they adapted it to animation).

According to Level E, frankly a big fan and close follower of the Lucky Star franchise (to say the least), "The strip like various other 4koma does not have a plot, but focuses on the social observations made by the characters throughout their daily lives." (http://www.windfs.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=175)
And according to him, Konata is ambi, while the rest of the four are lefties. Quote:

Much earlier in the original thread, Sushi-Y mentioned something about Akira-chan's column being canned previously in Comptiq... I asked what he was refering to, but I don't think he saw my question. Still, it sounds like there's something else beyond or predating the radio show? I know a lot of magazines have little themed editorial pages after some manga, so perhaps it was something like that for a while?
Man, I have some old issues buried very, very deeply somewhere in my condo, I should try and locate them again now... >_<; |

Since there are many popular chain stores that take QUO cards, many have jumped on the bandwagon to advertise their goods on these cards (in this case, Comptiq advertising moe~ characters onto QUO cards, which obviously Konata does anything she can to get her hands on them but will never use them) |

How much do these cards generally cost? I just want to know what amount of money Kotana is spending, buying multiples...

The kind of QUO card Konata talks about, however, are more of a type of "collectible goods" geared towards otakus, which are no different from normal cards except they often feature original illustrations of a certain anime/manga/bishojo game series (which makes them highly desirable for the fans). These are often available through online/magazine mail orders or prize drawings (like what Comtiq does). This is pretty much the same with the phone cards, although they have been around for longer. Just like Konata said, cards like these are mainly for collection purposes, so the cash value on them is usually low (500-1000 yen range), which makes them more affordable for collectors. |

Erm, I'll try asking a third time...Sushi-Y, you mentioned earlier, back before the thread split, something about Akira getting canceled earlier in Comptiq...could you explain what that you meant by that?

Yoshimizu Kagami (the manga-ka of the series) wrote and drew the mascot chara for Comptiq. Later he decided to write some several small strip which got some attention, then he decided to drive into Lucky Star. As Lucky Star got popular, Comptiq asked Yoshimizu to come up with an advertising corner which he came up with the Lucky Channel and later Lucky Paradise which is headed by another character: Sakuraba-sensei (the biology teacher & Kagami's HR teacher - well, at least in her 3rd year). Lucky Paradise is also the production name for Lucky Star. My guess is Paradise took over and the Channel was moved to the radio to promote. Paradise seems to have a much more of a narrow scope then the Channel as well. That's probably the decision of someone higher up in Kadokawa. |
