It has a variety of names in english depending on the brand... but "crane game" is as good as any. Actually I have no idea what 'ufo catcher' might refer since the things are almost always used with plushie merchandise....
hmmm, maybe the crane itself is supposed to look like a ufo descending to collect lifeform samples????

Wikipedia simply refers them to "Claw vending machines", but "crane game" is what I often her them being refered to in video games like Link's Awakening, so I assume that's the common term.
I just found it odd that a.f.k. used "UFO Catcher" in their subs considering how much the group tends to localize things. Not that I mind, however. |

ADD] As for the meaning of the name, it is pretty straightforward. The claw device had an UFO disc above the claws with spinning lights. In the past, the UFO had three claws, but apparently three made the game too easy, and it eventually evolved to the current two claw version. Cheers.

Every time I hear a crane game called a UFO Catcher, I think of the scene with the green aliens in Toy Story. "It moves, the claw!" "Oooooooooooooooooooh!" Sorry to have intruded on Lucky Star goodness with a Pixar/Disney moment.

Apparently, "UFO Catcher" is the "in" brand name these days for the things. I'll admit not having been to an arcade in 10 years....
(but yes, .... the first thought I had was from Toy Story.... oooooooooooh, He has been Chosen!!!)

Mass Transit Situation Blooper
Hi all!
My eagle-eyed brother (because he ogles L*S girls for all the sick Soujirou reasons) noticed that in ep 2 the quad are going home after school and are waiting at the bus stop at the train station... but why? Don't they separately take different buses FROM eaches own home train station going home from school? Technically it works if the bus stop is at the school, but not the train station, so this was a slip-up! Way to go bro'!

Bus stops often have multiple bus liines that depart from them and they may be waiting for separate buses. However, the four don't live a huge distance from each other. It seems to me that someone actually worked out their fictional locales in Tokyo and which transit routes they'd take - but its been so long since the series aired I don't remember where I saw that.

I disagree with you all.

His point was that if they were at the train station, they should have gotten inside and waited for their (different) trains.
Unless they walk from school to a train station, take a bus to a different station, and take the train there, I suppose. Or maybe they have several possible itineraries, which they change according to mood, and had decided to take the bus instead of the train that day. |

A lot of the scenes occur at totally different time settings even though they might seem to be back to back sequences. There was one scene where there were four people studying, and on the very next scene, one of the character got swapped with another, even though the scene carried on as if it was the same exact setting.
