Spotted over at Canned Dogs, it seems that Lucky Star OVA will be made by KyoAni (thank god the naysayers saying that Toei was gonna do it are wrong) and it will be airing this summer.

As for Haruhi S2, June’s Newtype has a teaser for it, with further information forthcoming in the July issue next month. Gotta hate it when they do that.

Moetron reports a Lucky Star OVA in the making, courtesy of this month’s Comptiq magazine.

Mmm~~ more Kagamin~~~~ *drool*.

Holy shit. JAM Project singing Motteke! Sailor-fuku.

Yes, that JAM Project.
Yes, I’m not joking.
Yes, it’s true.
Yes, I know it’s so wrong, but it’s so right as well.

Anyways, listen to it yourself. It’s actually pretty good, IMHO. Apart from that track and the CD’s cover, the whole album sucks as usual. I take that back, Track 6 is actually pretty awesome.

Easily the best character song album for Lucky Star. This was truly a definition of a “character song single”.

The first song, “Shiawase Negau Kanata kara” (lit. “Wishing Happiness from afar”) is Kanata’s solo song, done to the tune of the BGM that accompanied her appearance in episode 22. It’s a nice, slow touching song, that sings on Kanata’s hopes and wishes for her family.

Next song, “Onna ha Yume to Musume dake” is Soujirou’s character song, and in spirit with his character, it truly sounds… how should I put it? Gaudy? As a friend of mine puts it, it sounds like a Cantopop song from the 80’s. Not too bad, once you get used to it.

And the last song, “Sekai ga Kiete mo Aishiteru” is a Soujirou x Kanata duet song, and it’s another awesome song, with both of them singing in their character voices, about the journey of their love. Best part of the song has to be when Kanata asks “What’s otaku?” in the middle of the song.

FUCK YEAH, YOU ARE THE BEST ALBUM NAME EVER. TRACK TWO, YOU ARE THE BEST TRACK NAME EVAR!

Ok, 4chanism aside, this album really is LOL. Last of the Lucky Star character albums, and they MUST poke fun of Konata, Yutaka and Minami.

Overall, not a bad album. Track 1 was kinda boring, but track 2 is definitely nice to listen, even more with such win name, “Lolita Teikoku Bishoujo Taitei”. “Lolita Teikoku” = “Lolita Empire”, but can’t seem to get what “Bishoujo Taitei is, lol.

Hahahahaha, this CD is finally out. Oh man, can’t stop laughing…. hahahahaha!!!!

Anyways, the CD booklets and stuff are all totally in white, I guess they don’t wanna waste too much if the CD bombs.

On to the music, the first 13 tracks of the CD are basically direct rips of the TV ED’s he’s done, complete with all the background noise and shit. Not exactly the best part of the CD, unless you want his Ore no wasuremono song.

The next four tracks are full songs, professionally recorded and all, and the tracks are his now-infamous Ore no Wasuremono, Shikaider no Uta (oh god I hope they don’t make a series out of this), Kaorin no Theme and Koi no Minorun Densetsu.

Surprisingly, I must say, he really can sing. And pretty well at that too. Kaorin no Theme is a nice, slowly sung love ballad, which kinda makes me wonder if he, uh, likes Kaori Fukuhara. Koi no Minorun Densetsu is basically a rock version of the original song, with customized lyrics for Shirashi. Shikaider no Uta is…uh, well, a song you’d expect from a sentai or henshin show. Lastly, his Ore no Wasuremono is a enka-style song, themed on his now infamous lines.

Out of this 4, I’d say my favourite is Kaorin no Theme and it’s going to my permanent playlist… a wonder considering that the only other male singers on it now are JAM Project and Sambomaster :o.

I hope it’s just a spelling mistake, a.f.k., I really hope it is.

Anyways, rewatching this part really makes me admire Gotouza-sama even more. Too bad I haven’t heard her much this season yet, apart from Night Wizard.

Man, can’t believe that Lucky Star is ending already. Throughout it’s run, it has considerably grown on me and it’s going to be hard to get used to a Monday morning without a dose of Kagamin….

So the final episode is a School Festival one, and Patty takes the spotlight, by thinking up of an idea for the group to do for the opening ceremony, a cheerleading dance. No prizes for guessing what dance it is.

Man, somehow so awesome yet so expected of KyoAni to do this.

Anyways, it was truly a very good ending for the show. I will definitely miss my weekly dose of Lucky Star, especially Kagamin and Konata’s antics. Ah.. I already feel melancholic….

Nearing the end, Lucky Star goes back to it’s roots of comedy, providing tons of laughs. Definitely one of the funniest episodes in show.

LOL @ Konata’s PC, which converts to net lingo first. Definitely annoying to use, no? Thank god we don’t have the same problem with English input :P. Also note that her wallpaper is the advertisement for Haruhi S2.
