Yeah, that was my mistake.

It is, in fact, on volume 4.

Yup, it's a shampoo. I found out on some website that has a compilation of the parodies and references in the episodes. I'd post the link, but I don't think everything on there was completely clean...

I wish I could find an animated gif of Konata doing the Timotei thing for my avatar. XD

Heh, that'd be funny. Of course, though, I don't think they allow animated avatars on here anymore. You'd have to check. If they did, I'd use the one of Tsukasa with her cell phone (the one Alec-kun posted).

It has now been confirmed that Kadokawa Pictures USA and Bandai Entertainment will be releasing the anime series Lucky Star in NA in 2008.

I'm joining this conversation way late, I know, but I wanted to respond to the earlier concerns about licensing all the references.

Normal "parody" usage of other people's material is not considered a violation of copyright. The legal term is suprisingly clear English; it's called 'Fair Use'. The idea is, as long as nobody is likely to get the idea that you are claiming the material for your own, it isn't plagiarism (the reason for quote marks.) And if you are not using it for it's original "serious" purpose, but to poke fun, then it isn't even a copyright violation.

Thus, in our own culture, for example, ten billion comedy references to the Terminator ("I'll be back", "Hasta la vista, Baby,", etc.) without having to get Arnold's permission. The references in Lucky Star would be considered protected under the same rules.
May the Lord bless you and keep you.
May He cause His face to shine upon you.
May He lift up His countenance and grant you peace.

Maokun: Ninjas or Pirates? (Vikings are not a valid answer, sorry)

EricTheFred: Vikings are always a valid answer.

So, a six-volume release? Great.

Time to search for possible discount locations. Either that or save up like crazy.

Six volume LE release, to be more accurate. I already spend $150 on Haruhi ... :(

*starts saving*

Yum, OST's included. Now I can drive my family insane with all the obscure Japanese in-jokes. XD

All we need now is the manga, and I'll be happy.

P.S. I am not watching this is English. Konata's voice is already perfect. Although I wonder what Anime Tenchou will sound like. "BAKAYAAAAAA!" XD

I wonder if they'll release them close to each other, or further apart...if the latter is the case, I'm going to go nuts, especially with only four episodes a disc. XO

Sorry for double-posting and gravedigging this thread, but I think I found a release date for the first DVD. Interesting box-art too...

I can't wait for the English release. I hope the official sub of it on the dub is as good as the fansubs. I agree that Konata's voice is already perfect Japanese wise, but I'm curious to see what it's going to be like in English though.

Here's the Lucky Star English trailer which gives you a little taste of the dub release.

Alot of times, dub trailers just don't work well. You only get bits and pieces of the voice and not hear how well the voice may sound after hearing more if it later.

I still remember how people couldn't stands L's voice in the Death Note trailer, but then people change their mind after hearing more of L's voice.

The box-art for the LE volume 1 for Lucky Star, is the Japan's R2 regular edition volume 1 cover. The USA regular edition volume 1 cover is the Japan's R2 LE volume two cover.
