^ It will come with the manga to be released.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

a little bit disappointed not to be able to see Lucky Star casts in the last ep. But just a little! I wonder when can Hikage have some meat again @@

The last episode is kinda cute. ^_^

Kinda funny though... we're getting hit with a heat wave where I live, and I turned on the air conditioner right before watching this episode... talk about coincidence, haha.

If they're not going to make LS sequel, this is a waste of time.

the spinoff series is alright for the most part since I love watching lucky star and seeing the sisters in their series have brought me to love them more but one complain about is they didn't bother doing the opening theme that is called KACHIGUMI

What the heck, the running time is about 35 minutes for the whole series! (Excluding the ending). I didn't particulary like it, but I would've expected more. Only three Lucky Star cameos too, waste of time. I hope the OVA will be better. 5/10.

You people think it was short because they did run out of material? read the manga.
They did an excellent show with those little minutes they had. It was NOT sponsored by KyoAni, they were short on money, yet the animation, story, and voice acting was very good.

If you really want the 4 team back again, ask KyoAni to stop leeching of Free! and step it up to make Lucky Star season 2. But we know that won't happen, their golden age has already passed.

Well, I am happy to say that even though I didn't like this show that much, I liked it better than Lucky Star because it wasn't nearly as tedious to sit through.

1/5 for the episode, 3/10 for the show.

Hooray! :D
I can finally say I also finished this anime series, I'm happy! ^_^
Nice and fun to the end, the comedy comes more from the sweetness of the stars that real cool little gags, the ending is a hymn to poverty that finds fertile ground in this period of history, however, more than make you appear to be a mantra against it.

7/10.

Well, this spin-off wasn't as good as I expected. To be fair, Lucky Star didn't get on my favorite anime list either, but it was still better than this.

The ED was pretty good, though.

I respect your opinion as long as you respect mine.

Oh the things my OCD forces me to watch. It wasn't too horrible for a spin-off at least.

Meh... it was really average through the whole 10 eps. and I didn't find funny the main idea of having nothing to eat but that's just me... 5/10.

P.S.: The ED was catchy tho.

Hikage's voice (/acting) isn't very pleasing or great which doesn't aid in uplifting the dynamic of the duo which is a little dull in repetition from a wasteful individual in Hinata.

As for the spin-off characters, Akira appears on tv on the side two times, Hinata works at Meito's store and the iconic trio of Konata, Tsukasa and Kagami are seen twice in the background.

As amazing as the english dub cast of Lucky Star was, I feel this anime may have been more pleasing with a better casting from funimation.

Keeping the same atmosphere and aura of Lucky Star from the same studio,
my personal favorites moments of this short anime were Hikage's interactions with her teacher, Kazuhiko and overall hate and frustration of being poor and lacking food being hilarious at times.
Marina's consulting of Kazuhiko is pretty funny as well. Daisuke and her friends didn't have enough screen time to have a better impression of.

Hikage is quite adorable at times but unfortunately her voice sucks.
The opening and ending songs are pretty catchy too. Decent adaption. 6/10 overall.

Will be writing my thoughts on all the episodes in this discussion..
Damn, this OP is lit.. ;o And it's rarely I say that - it really looks impressive, to be honest.. ;o
Poor life is hard.. But any life is hard, to be honest.. Like working 8 hours a day?.. A fun life we'd all be choosing for sure, isn't it?.. Sarcasm, of course.. So yeah.. Life sucks in general, really..
Honestly, I can relate to some things, really.. Like sometimes better to spend less on food, to afford some more of things related to my interests.. Like, I don't know.. It's not doujins, but still stuff.. Like just spending in general less on food, so I'd get better computer, for example.. Some food is really expensive, to be honest..
Also, I have close thinking about strawberries.. I don't really like them.. And they're kinda expensive.. So I don't really give a damn, if they get more expensive or not.. Price on different things is more important for me..
I also don't care about excursions, to be honest.. And as well because they're partially expensive.. Like, we had a couple to the near country, for example.. But they thankfully were optional.. Because really a waste of money and time as well, to be honest.. I don't like travels myself, really.. Even if had some, including to other countries.. Really, not stuff for me at all.. I'd more happily choose to view streets on the internet, if I'd really want to look at the damn streets.. But why would I want that, lol.. Traveling, really, is both waste of time and money, to be honest..
Don't gamble, though.. Yeah - maybe it's funny, or something.. But really, only the gambling sites win in this.. Please don't gamble..
I saw that manager guy just recently.. In Akane Maniax, lol.. Is it reference to him?.. As there are references to some other anime series here and there, really.. Like to Nanoha, and stuff.. But that guy, really, was so obscure.. I maybe even think that he's originally not from there, but both Lucky Star and Akane Maniax referencing some other dude.. Because, yeah.. He was so obscure.. So yeah.. Kinda no idea, who this is, even if I see this manager guy the second time..
Hikage is my spirit animal, lol.. ;D But for real, though - I like spending less, if I can, really.. It leaves more money for other stuff, which truly matters.. I'm not on the level of efficiency on the using hair dryer or something, though, lol.. ;D Well, no reason to get too crazy as well, because you'll get ill with overly some things.. And with getting ill - you'll have to spend even more during that time.. ;D So yeah - don't get too crazy.. But some things you really can get cheaper, or I don't need them, to be honest..
And honestly.. This anime is enjoyable to watch.. I as well really think that in our culture we really have too much wasting money considered as to be normal, or even, what is even more I don't agree with - desirable.. Like travels.. Or trying the more cafes and restaurants you can.. Or something other useless stuff, really.. And ok, if useless - but really I enjoy putting money on the interests I personally have.. Rather than try 10 types of coffee or whatever, lol.. It's enjoyable to watch person, who values money, not the usual our broad culture of spending money here and there, to be honest.. And in many cases it's just for the sake of being "cool", social status, and other stuff like that.. Man, I'll enjoy putting my money to better use, really.. Well, then again, our society in general has many stupidities.. Like, for example, the alcohol culture, and everyone enjoying talking about it, it being a desirable topic in society.. Meh, to be honest.. And even a harmful thing as well, really.. So yeah - not everything what is normal - good, really..
It was an enjoyable anime, really.. Hikage is good girl.. ;P
