Lucky Star: Difference between revisions

Line 24:

* [[Actor Allusion]] (Apart from all the [[Shout-Out~~|Shout Outs~~]], the voice actors of the primary [[Five-Man Band]] in ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'' voicing themselves at one point or another.)

* [[Actor Allusion]] (Apart from all the [[Shout-Out]]s, the voice actors of the primary [[Five-Man Band]] in ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'' voicing themselves at one point or another.)

** And in the English dub, Patricia Ja Lee as Patty Martin, a character that was designed to be an [[Affectionate Parody]] of her.

** Lampshaded in the second episode with a conversation about how one feels when an anime uses different seiyuu than the drama CDs between two characters whose anime seiyuu differs from their drama CD seiyuu.

* [[Adam Westing]]: [[Aya Hirano]] as herself, [[Daisuke Ono]] as himself, [[Yūko Gotō]] as herself, and many others. Unfortunately, the show only plays with this using famous Japanese actors, so the English dub invariably loses a lot in translation (even though Bandai tries to maintain a pairing of [[Seiyuu]] with dubbers).

** [[Minoru Shiraishi]].

** [[Minoru Shiraishi]] as himself, including in half the ending themes.

* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: Although [[Conversational Troping]] is the main feature of this series, [[Shout-Out~~|Shout Outs~~]] are ''very'' rare in the manga—twice with ''[[Mariasama ga Miteru|Mari Mite]]'', once with ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'', and once with ''[[Gundam]]''—and the latter was published in a ''[[Gundam]]'' magazine.

* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: Although [[Conversational Troping]] is the main feature of this series, [[Shout-Out]]s are ''very'' rare in the manga—twice with ''[[Mariasama ga Miteru|Mari Mite]]'', once with ''[[Azumanga Daioh]]'', and once with ''[[Gundam]]''—and the latter was published in a ''[[Gundam]]'' magazine.

* [[Affectionate Parody]]: Intended with Patricia. Failed miserably as Americans were not amused.

** [[5 Centimeters Per Second]] is hilariously parodied when Konata is talking about finding love.

** ''[[5 Centimeters Per Second]]'' is hilariously parodied when Konata is talking about finding love.

* [[Alertness Blink]]: Konata has several in a row during the infamous chocolate cornet short.

* [[Ambidextrous Sprite]] / [[Cheated Angle]]: When a character faces a different direction even slightly, their hairstyle gets mirror-flipped. A prominent example is Akira's hair in episode 16's Lucky Channel segment.

Line 75:

*** That last one is justified in that "Kyou" and "Kagami" are [[Alternate Character Reading]] for a kanji that means "mirror."

** Kuroi-sensei bears a more than suspicious resemblance to [[Excel Saga (manga)|Excel Excel]], down to the cute little fang, and the suit Excel wore when she was a schoolteacher in Episode 11.

* [[Caramelldansen Vid]]

* [[Caramelldansen Vid]]{{context}}

* [[Cash Cow Franchise]]: Good grief. For now, let's just talk about the music. Even excluding all the background music (which is packed in with the [[No Export for You|Japanese]] DVDs) and the two [[Audio Adaptation|drama CDs]], there are still 31 different CDs out.

** And with all these songs — like ''Haruhi'' — came a concert in 2009.

Line 125:

* [[Deep-Immersion Gaming]]: The OVA.

* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: "Please don't joke when your joke doesn't sound like a joke."

⚫

* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: Go on. Read and analyze {{spoiler|the [[Hurricane of Euphemisms]] that is the lyrics to "Motteke Sailor Fuku."}} You will never be able to look at the series in the same way ever again.

⚫

* [[Dojikko]]: Miyuki. In addition, Kagami asks Konata if she acts out this trope at her job at a [[Cosplay Cafe]], like dropping her drinks (complete with demonstration), but Konata dismisses it as something cute in fiction but [[Deconstructed Trope|just annoying in real life]].

** Also, Konata's attempts to eat her chocolate cornet in the first episode, with it spurting chocolate and her licking the end repeatedly... sheesh, did I just make this page NSFW?

** In the same episode, Konata's demonstration of the tongue "push and shove" method of getting soft-serve ice cream to go into the cone.

** In a later episode, Konata lying on her back and pretend-choking on falling [[Cherry Blossoms]]. The episode later included a parody on [[Da Capo]].

* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]:

** The appearance of many of the extras (Kagami's classmates, Yutaka and her own classmates) at the opening sequence ever since the first episode. Namely, many people wondered what's with the emotionless green-haired girl performing her cheerleading routines along with the other characters before even having any idea of who Minami was.

Line 158:

* [[Freudian Slip]]: Hiyori Tamura (yuri [[Fan Girl]]) refers to herself as [[Uke]] when discussing dodge ball positions before quickly correcting herself to "defender".

** [[Innocent Innuendo]]: Uke is actually the common martial arts term for the defender in sparing. It's use in [[Yaoi]] is much more obscure and noticing the innuendo is more revealing then just ignoring it.

* [[Frothy Mugs of Water]]: In the [[Show Within a Show|Lucky Channel]] of episode 16, we have seen [[Hates the Job, Loves the Limelight|Akira]], supposedly a ninth grader, ordering some "brown stuff" in the karaoke. Although her drinking that was only a sound effect, its effects was ~~unmistakeably~~ alcoholic...

Although her drinking that was only a sound effect, its effects was unmistakably alcoholic...

* [[Funny Background Event]]: There are tons, but one funny event is in Episode 13, the Valentine episode. A few seconds before cutting to the main characters, we see one boy hand chocolates to another boy, who gets shocked-expression-lines. Later, we see them walking together and talking about it being the chocolate-hander's first time.

* [[Furo Scene]]

* [[Gainaxing]]: Miyuki and Patricia.

* [[Generation Xerox]]: Konata looks almost like her mother's identical twin.

* [[Generation Xerox]]: Konata looks almost like her mother's identical twin. Mentioned in-universe.

* [[Generic Cuteness]]: In the manga, the "Tsundere ought to have pigtails" line was, if Kagami cut her pigtails, she would look "utterly forgettable." This explained why Kagami answered "Sorry that I look so boring!"

** Could apply to the entire case since Kagami and Tsukasa are described as being "plain." Also, most would agree Ms. Kuroi seems to be much more attractive than Narumi, who has a husband, but have trouble finding a husband. This could be explain by 4 things: 1) Her standards are too high, 2) Her personality, 3) The fact that she spends most of her free time playing MMO RPG games, or 4) Her looks are due to [[Generic Cuteness]].

* [[Geodesic Cast]]

* [[Geodesic Cast]]{{context}}

* [[Girlish Pigtails]]: Kagami and Yutaka.

* [[Give Him a Normal Life]]: Of course Soujiro and Kanata were not superheroes, but Kanata said exactly that after she gave birth to Konata. She didn't want Konata to inherit [[Older Than They Look|her body]] and [[Otaku|his personality]]—but, well, we know it turned out to be the opposite of what she wanted...

She didn't want Konata to inherit [[Older Than They Look|her body]] and [[Otaku|his personality]]—but, well, we know it turned out to be the opposite of what she wanted.

* [[Giving Someone the Pointer Finger]] (In the opening theme, no less. This has spawned [[Memetic Mutation|countless parodies]]. DADADADADA!)

* [[Giving Up the Ghost]]: Konata gives hers up after gaming for 3 days straight in episode 15. In the next scene, Miss Kuroi gives hers up after rushing to class so she wasn't late, then hurriedly telling the class to shift gears out of summer vacation and back to focusing on the start of the school year. She wasn't prepared herself.

** Hiyori Tamura does this after pulling off an all-nighter to meet her manga submission deadline.

* [[The Glomp]] (Konata imagines glomping a guy one episode)

* [[The Glomp]]: Konata imagines glomping a guy one episode.

* [[God Never Said That]]: There's a rumor (which even persists on this wiki) that in a manga omake, [[Word of God]] confirmed that Kagami had a one-sided crush on Konata (which of course is prime fuel for the shippers). Except...that this omake doesn't exist, but of course the shippers love to propagate the rumor without ever checking for a source. (The lack of scans online beyond the beginning of Volume 2 contributes to this.)

(The lack of scans online beyond the beginning of Volume 2 contributes to this.)

* [[Go Out with a Smile]]: Kanata in the manga is shown to be bearing an angelically sweet smile as she went to heaven. And right after that...

{{quote|'''Soujirou''': I wish I can also die this way.

Line 179:

'''Konata''': It's not that you would have a good death anyway... }}

** The previous conversation is also '''unholy''' [[Mood Whiplash]].

* [[Goldfish Scooping Game]] (In the aforementioned [[Festival Episode]]. Kagami apparently pampered and fed the goldfish so much it grew to an unusual size.)

* [[Gratuitous English]] (It's used straight sometimes, but more notable is the opening theme, which tends to keep a Gratuitous English-like tone and contents even when, as for most of the lines, it's in Japanese.)

** A minor example was that the manga author thought Patricia's name should be spelt "Patoricia."

** "Don't mind..."

Line 189:

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yq9oCYIpqhg L! O! VWEE! E! LOV-UH-LEE! TSUKASA!]

** "WELCOME TO IDAHO!"

* [[Greek Chorus]]: (Akira and Minoru in [[Show Within a Show|Lucky Channel]])

* [[Greek Chorus]]: Akira and Minoru in [[Show Within a Show|Lucky Channel]]

* [[Hair Colors]]: (Sort of lampshaded in the beach episode: Miyuki explains how the combination of salt and sunlight can bleach hair, turning it light brown. This coming from a pink-haired character addressing blue and purple-haired ones.)

* [[Hair Colors]]: Sort of lampshaded in the beach episode: Miyuki explains how the combination of salt and sunlight can bleach hair, turning it light brown. This coming from a pink-haired character addressing blue and purple-haired ones.

* [[Hatsuyume]]: (Miyuki points out that the list follows on with a fan, tobacco, and a blind man. Konata wonders who dreams about these sorts of things anyway, what sort of dream will include all these elements, and how many people remember what they dream about that clearly.)

* [[Hatsuyume]]: Miyuki points out that the list follows on with a fan, tobacco, and a blind man. Konata wonders who dreams about these sorts of things anyway, what sort of dream will include all these elements, and how many people remember what they dream about that clearly.

* [[Heroism Incentive]]: Konata's father offered her video game systems depending on the rank of school she got into.

** Patricia pulls this tactic out when dealing with Konata as well. Konata had heard about Patricia's cheerleading request in advance, and was going to politely turn her down. But before Konata could do so, Patricia informs her that she has a rare ticket to see [[Aya Hirano]] perform, and what was it that Konata was going to say?

* [[Het Is Ew]] / [[Everyone Is Gay]]: (In a series with a grand total of '''four''' recurring male characters, all who are considerably older than the main cast, this is understandable. Add in copious amounts of [[Romantic Two-Girl Friendship]] and [[Les Yay]] and this is inevitable.)

** Soujiro x Nanako and Minoru x Akira have a following.

** Soujiro × Nanako and [[Show Within a Show|Minoru × Akira]] have a following.

** One could possibly ship Tsukasa and Minoru, especially after Minoru's ED song "Kaorin no Theme" ([[Kaori Fukuhara|Kaori(n) Fukuhara]] is Tsukasa's seiyuu). Then again, seeing Tsukasa's reaction to "Sebasatian" in one of his few in-show appearances...

*** Then Minoru did a second song called "Emirin no Theme". [[Emiri Katou|Emiri(n) Katou]] is ''Kagami's'' seiyuu.

** Every single character has shown interest in the opposite sex though, in fact the only characters who shown interest in the same sex are the three otaku girls. Kagami and Konata's interactions are played for little more than laughs.

* [[Hexagonal Speech Balloon]]

* [[Hot-Blooded]]: (As seen on the page, Anime Tenchou has to be put out with a hose, and even sets Shiraishi on fire)

* [[Hot-Blooded]]: As seen on the page, Anime Tenchou has to be put out with a hose, and even sets Shiraishi on fire.

* [[Hot Mom]]: Yukari Takara, Miki Hiiragi, and Kanata Izumi. (And Miki has had four children, two of them twins.)

Line 206:

* [[Hurricane of Euphemisms]]: The entire opening theme. Essentially, it's {{spoiler|an offer for the singer to go home with the person being sung to, and if they both enjoy themselves, she'll let him keep her school uniform.}}

* [[Identical Twin ID Tag]]

* [[Idiot Hair]]: (Konata, although not an idiot by any definition of the word)

* [[Idiot Hair]]: Konata, although not an idiot by any definition of the word.

** Akira too, and it'd be suicide to call ''her'' an idiot...

** Yui has a very thin one.

* [[I Know Mortal Kombat]] (Konata, played straight and then lampshaded in the same episode)

* [[I Know Mortal Kombat]] Konata, played straight and then lampshaded in the same episode.

** Although it's Street Fighter (Guile to be precise)

** Although it's ''Street Fighter'' (Guile, to be precise).

* [[Image Song]] (Only 13 of the singles are actually called character songs, but many others qualify.)

* [[Image Song]]: Only 13 of the singles are actually called character songs, but many others qualify.

* [[Incredibly Lame Pun]]: The tour guide (and Shiraishi) from episode 21 is really fond of these.

* [[Inexplicably Identical Individuals]]: Voice of the cake restaurant waitress/Comiket vendor/Kyoto tour guide/etc. Sounds odd and a bit unnerving that all these people would have the same husky middle-aged woman's voice. You might recognize that voice as [[Naruto|Orochimaru]]'s seiyuu, [[Kujira]]. The dub does one better by having most of them be voiced by a male, though it isn't [[Steve Blum]]~~...~~ but [[Derek Stephen Prince]], who does Shino. And even better: at one point, you see ''six'' of the very same middle-aged woman at once!

* [[Ink Suit Actor]]: Minoru. Also, Daisuke Ono (better known as [[Haruhi Suzumiya|Itsuki Koizumi]]), who replaces him in Lucky Channel while he's off at Mt. Fuji to get water for Akira (and he is still present in the studio [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|when Minoru snaps]]).

* [[Instant Cosplay Surprise]] (Konata and Kagami in the OVA dream sequence)

Line 221:

* [[Kotatsu]]: Konata and her Dad asleep, D'AAAWW!

* [[Lampshade Hanging]] (Much of the dialogue discusses various tropes, whether relevant to the show itself or not.)

* [[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo]] (Used to absurd extents, in one case intentionally. Other [[Kyoto Animation]] properties (and Sunrise's ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]'', for some reason) remain unbleeped.)

* [[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo]]: Used to absurd extents, in one case intentionally. Other [[Kyoto Animation]] properties (and Sunrise's ''[[Keroro Gunsou]]'', for some reason) remain unbleeped.

* [[Love Letter Lunacy]] (During the trip to Kyoto, Kagami turns the episode from a comedic to a poignant one when she receives a letter from what she believes is a secret crush. {{spoiler|Turns out the guy just wanted a trinket that would be embarrasing to ask for in public. It crushes her spirits, but leads to one of her [[Anime and Manga/Heartwarming|most heartwarming moments in the show.]]}})

* [[Lucky Charms Title]]: ''Lucky☆Star''.

* [[Luminescent Blush]] (especially Kagami in full [[Tsundere|dere-dere]] mode)

Line 246:

* [[No Communities Were Harmed]]: The shows takes place in clearly recognizable locales in Saitama, Kasukabe and Washinoya.

* [[No Hugging, No Kissing]] (This is the best way to describe the romance in this show, as confirmed by [[Word of God]]. The [[Les Yay]] are very subtle at best and anymore than that is in the heads of the fanboys (or fangirls). The closest thing to hints of romance is the [[Lap Pillow]] scene between [[Les Yay|Yutaka and Minami]]. On the heterosexual side, there's the tease confession scene between Kagami and a nameless boy, especially considering Kagami's change in behavior after receiving the supposed "love letter" (its not much but that's as far as this show gets).

** One of the more subtle examples is Kagami worrying that it would be problematic if her pet goldfish came back in human form as a wife beater, a reference to the anime [[Angel Tales]].

** One of the more subtle examples is Kagami worrying that it would be problematic if her pet goldfish came back in human form as a wife-beater, a reference to the anime ''[[Angel Tales]]''.

** Arguably, subverted in the games (at least the [[PlayStation 2]] version).

* [[Non-Singing Voice]] (Everyone in the English dub. For example, during the karaoke box endings, the dialogue was dubbed, but the singing was left in Japanese, so we've got Wendee Lee talking and Aya Hirano singing, and so on.)

Line 252:

** Probably talking about [[wikipedia:Kuso|kuso]]—literally "shit," but meant parody in East Asian Internet culture.

*** Episode 20 had a scene where Hiyori said "...but I got confused and I was stuck for 3 hours". Stuck where?

* [[Noodle Implements]] (In episode 5 Tsukasa is talking to Konata about something that "kinda looks like a frog." Depleted uranium is then mentioned. See [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick]] above.)

* [[Ocular Gushers]]: Universally applied.

* [[Odd Friendship]]: An unanimated strip in Volume 8 discussed why would Hiyori, "an [[Otaku]] in every sense of the word," be friends with "honour students" Minami and Yutaka.

* [[Oh Crap]]:

* ~~[[Oh Crap]]:~~ Izumi Wakase's reaction to Hiyori when she spots her at Comiket.

** Izumi Wakase's reaction to Hiyori when she spots her at Comiket.

** The reaction of the people surrounding Patricia Martin as she talks about anime and manga.

** When Soujirou walked out looking for toilet paper and gets spotted by Yutaka.

** "Tamura-san! What's [[yaoi]]?"

* [[Older Than They Look]]: [[Puni Plush]] made every teen and adult to fall in this except [[Lolicon|Soujiro]]. And the extreme cases of this fell on the women around Soujiro: his late wife Kanata was 1.43m, his daughter Konata is 1.42m, and his live-in niece Yutaka is 1.38m. Being [[Genre Savvy]], Konata wondered if Soujiro has a case of [[Lolicon]], and knew she and Yutaka would certainly be [[Fetish Fuel]] for other lolicon.

* [["On the Next Episode of..." Catchphrase]] ("Look forward to it!")

* [["On the Next Episode of..." Catchphrase]]: "Look forward to it!"

* [[Only Six Faces]] (One strip [[lampshade]]s this: Hiyori's uncle read the doujinshi she drew, and while he had no problem on the content, he complained about ''everyone looking the same''. Then Hiyori asked Kou: "Isn't [[Tsurime Eyes]] and [[Tareme Eyes]] different enough already!?")

* [[Ordinary High School Student]]

* [[Ordinary High School Student]]: All of the main cast.

* [[Orwellian Retcon]] (a minor example: Konata was originally portrayed as a cool [[Gamer Chick]], but was soon [[Characterization Marches On|changed]] into a down-to-earth, sort-of-[[Loveable Sex Maniac|pervy]] [[Otaku Surrogate]]. When the [[Yonkoma]] were collected into volumes, Yoshimizu changed Konata's lines to make her image consistent. Because he only changed a few strips very early in the series and [[Word of God|Yoshimizu discussed that]] in the [[Omake]], it is not as unpleasant.)

Because he only changed a few strips very early in the series and [[Word of God|Yoshimizu discussed that]] in the [[Omake]], it is not as unpleasant.

* [[Out of Focus]]: Miyuki slipped out throughout the anime's run (see the [[Character Sheet]]). In subsequent manga [[Idiosyncratic Episode Naming|episodes]] (the anime only got up to Volume 4), {{spoiler|the four main girls themselves have actually gone out, since they have graduated in 2008 and went to separate colleges, with only Konata and ''Misao'' going to the same school}}. The focus in 2010 has more been on a New Generation as well as health teacher Hikaru Sakuraba and [[Hospital Hottie|school nurse]] Fuyuki Amahara (Hikaru only made a cameo appearance in the last TV episode of the anime).

* [[Parental Hypocrisy]]: An example with a teacher rather than a parent. Kuroi Sensei plays the same online game as Konata, and has been into MMORPGs since before she was Konata's age, but she tells Konata off for doing that very thing, and uses in-game chat to remind her to do her homework.

* [[Personality Blood Types]] (Discussed. Doesn't seem to be accurate at all, seeing [[Sibling Yin-Yang|Kagami and Tsukasa]] are of the same blood type...)

* [[Personality Blood Types]]: Discussed. Doesn't seem to be accurate at all, seeing [[Sibling Yin-Yang|Kagami and Tsukasa]] are of the same blood type...

** (Didn't Kagami call back Konata and say something like "Twins can have different bloodtypes and Konata was right", at least in anime version?)

* [[Pervert Dad]] (Though he tends to at least attempt to keep focus on Konata's classmates instead of his own daughter. He does like taking pictures though...)

Line 301:

Line 302:

** The "Doesn't it stink?" conversations.

*** {{spoiler|1="[[Intoxication Ensues|I want to gattai with]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0z4wko76giY#t=3m56s&fmt=20 Konata!"]}}

*** It's not clear what she says—she could have been saying "cos-play" instead, which while not as funny, fits the context better.

Line 309:

Line 310:

*** Also, she does not mention Konata's name (though the Japanese language tend to leave pronouns and nouns out if they are made obvious in the context). She basically says "I want to co*beep*" or "I want to gat*beep*" (its hard to make out exactly what the beeped word is). Tsukasa's reaction and Kagami's excuses would actually make more sense if she did say "I want to cos-play." "I want to gattai/combine/become one" makes little sense without knowing who its being addressed to so Tsukasa would have little idea of what Kagami is talking about (though saying "gattai" by itself could be considered a sexual innuendo).

* [[Schoolgirl Series]]

* [[Seinfeldian Conversation]]: Fully half the dialogue of the series; the other half is [[Shout-Out~~|Shout Outs~~]]. In fact, the trope was formerly named [[Chocolate Cornet]].

* [[Sensei-chan]]: Kuroi-sensei.

* [[Ship Tease]] {{spoiler|Kagami's dream sequence}} in the OVA.

* [[Shout-Out]]: Too many to count. One particularly notable one is Konata's gift to Kagami in the fourth episode of the anime: a red armband that reads Brigade Chief. Kagami is confused when she receives it, and says that it would look better on Konata instead; considering Konata's voice actress is none other than Aya Hirano, the same seiyuu who played Haruhi, this little exchange becomes both brilliant and hilarious.

** ...And guess what Konata's costume is at her cosplay cafe? {{spoiler|Haruhi, which again is hilarious since Aya changes her voice to be perfect for the role.}}

* [[Show Within a Show]] (Lucky Channel)

* [[Show Within a Show]]: ''Lucky Channel''

* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]] (Konata [[lampshade]]d two pairs: [[Tsundere|Kagami]] / [[The Ditz|Tsukasa]] and [[Genki Girl|Yui]] / [[Ill Girl|Yutaka]] in front of Yutaka, saying one sibling "absorbs" attributes from the other. When Yutaka mentioned that to Minami, Minami wondered if Miyuki absorbed ''something else'' from her, since the two were pretty close and often acted like siblings...)

* [[Sitcom Character Archetypes]]:

** Konata is the Wisecracker

Line 322:

Line 323:

** Tsukasa is the Goofball

** Miyuki is the Precocious

* [[Slice of Life]] - Parodied. Conversations tend to be about ridiculous (yet somehow hilarious) topics such as the proper way to eat a chocolate cornet.

* [[Slice of Life]]: Parodied. Conversations tend to be about ridiculous (yet somehow hilarious) topics such as the proper way to eat a chocolate cornet.

* [[Squeaky Eyes]]
