This of course leads to the ironic result of Western Europe actually being less conservative than North America two centuries later when those authoritarian monarchs were either overthrown by or forced to concede power to the "moderates" that chose to stay in the Old Europe. (Of course I'm over-simplifying stuff here, like how the coastal areas are less conservative than the so-called "Bible Belt", so please bear with me. ) Anyway, back on topic. Man, I gotta see this episode as soon as I get my hands on it. The amount of original material seen in the screenshots was already funny enough. The way Kagami-sama became the latest convert to the yaoi movement is so moe! Thus begins her hobby of secretly collecting FMP yaoi doujins. And Seki Tomokazu + Sugita Tomokazu parodying their roles = pure win FTW. |

The question now is what is going to be more traumatizing, Tsukasa's experience at Comiket, or poor Aya Hirano's experience next week at Animeexpo where she gets to meet the American fans for the first time and possibly have to escape an abduction attempt or two. |

I would never abduct her, since I don't own an anime studio for her to record in. What would be the point of abducting her if she couldn't voice anymore? And hey, I want a second season of Haruhi, dammit.
Also, why would western anime fans be any weirder than Japanese fans of hollywood? Or, for that matter, Japanese fans of our various rejects? (I've heard of several European singers didn't really have a carreer until they set up shop in Japan. Maybe their songs sound better when you don't understand the lyrics?) |

I agree with most of the sentiments posted on this thread thus far. Being that this is an otaku-centric episode, this is one of my favorite episodes of Lucky Star to date. Now I haven't seen the fansub yet, but if you're an anime fan for many years, this episode is fairly easy to follow.
My highlights -- which are practically similar to everyone else's -- are: Spoiler for episode 12 summary list:

I mean, your average Americans knows really next to nothing about JPOP culture. They may know what's a geisha but the have no clue who's Hamasaki Ayumi or what NANA the movie is about. So normal Japanese assume that Americans or Westerners either are not into Japanese music/tv/movies due to language differences, or that they're not used to seeing Asians as entertainers (and they would have a point - look at the number of Asians in Hollywood and their roles). So basically most Japanese assume that no Westerners would care about popular Japanese culture. No gaijin would/should know anything about "DownTown", "London Hearts", or "Ainori". Yet somehow, masses of young Western gaijin know who SUZUMIYA HARUHI is. Sings and Dances to obscure Otaku JPOP songs. Love the strange otaku things THEY've shunned. That's the shocking part. I mean, more Westerners probably have heard "Hare Hare Yukai" than the latest Koda Kimi single. What do you expect them to think? |

I would prefer to cosplay as myself - slap on a ruffly meido outfit, put on a few ribbons, and I'm done. I wish I could cosplay as a meido-Kagami, but I'm *uber* picky with wigs. If it doesn't look a realistic purple color, or the hair feels like wire or yarn, I won't use it. (lol... "realistic purple hair"...) I doubt you'll have to speak in Japanese to ask a question. XD I'm not going to the panel, so be sure to snap lots of pics ne. |

One motorcycle police officer was by me at the stoplight, leaned over and asked, "wait.... that's not mexican.... what is...? Is that japanese?" <nod> ... Hai... "That's really bizarre.... but cool." (I had one of Ua's more upbeat tunes playing at the time) ... and another convert was made

I enjoy mainstream jpop about as much as I like "mainstream US pop" (the corporate machine variety ala "Z100" radio or the equivalent).
That is to say, I'd have to be heavily drugged so I couldn't get away. Sometimes I'll hear mainstream jpop and it feels like one is stuck in a bad imitation of a Perry Como variety hour, or perhaps Tony Orlando and Dawn, or ..... that part of the music culture that pretended Beatles never went "wierd" and burrowed its way into the Disco part of the 70s whilst the rest of us ran for FM radio. Now I've stopped making sense to most of the audience. (checks the torrents again for ep 12....) tonight I'll watch EnA's version of ep 9 and 10 and see if I thumbs up their version of reality.

Trust me, I'd love to. I wish I had a miko outfit, and though I could pull off Kagami without the purple hair, I'd feel wrong unless I had very similar ribbons.
This past year I obtained (GETTO!) a pair of high-quality neko-mimi with ribbon that you tie under your chin. (It's definitely not one of those cheap cat ear hairbands you can find in the dollar store.) I intend to wear that to AX. :3 |
