So where the flip is it already?

August 4th


Ah thanks!

Wow this could possibly be the shortest thread ever on this forum!

[Shiraishi-kun]

I'm only getting the DVD for the subs though, no offense.

The dub just don't FEEL RIGHT. Of course, that's something for my other topic... which I explained...

[Dally]

Lol, too bad there's still no plans for another LS episode :(

But I can't wait for the Dubbed OVA. :D

We can still dream... *at camera* over at the Lucky Star Second Season Ideas Thread! Only on Lucky Star Shrines! Visit now!

[Lucky Flame]

Oh I can't wait to hear Miyuki again in the forest scene.

[Misao]

Oh I can't wait to hear Miyuki again in the forest scene.


I forgot what she does there. I'm waiting to hear Misao in both sequences she's in. I am NOT looking forward to Patty's lines in the first one, though. But... she's being mean to Cherry... soooooooo I guess it'll serve her right. :)

I was thinking, maybe they should turn pocket travellers into an anime, it would be so awsome, or maybe ryouou gakuen outousai.....even more awsome!!!!

[Shiraishi-kun]

^ Pocket Travellers should be a series of OVAs, and Ryouou Gakuen Otosai should be a second series running in tandem with the second season of the main series.

[patchis-forest]

will they ever put lucky star on tv in other countries besides japan?

[Lucky Flame]

I sort of doubt that.

[Shiraishi-kun]

I had an idea that it could be shown on SyFy, since it no longer strictly specializes in science fiction. And maybe it could run simultaneously with Haruhi Suzumiya airing on Adult Swim.

[Kona]

Yeah but for some reason, Adult Swim doesnt play anime anymore. Last time i watched Adult Swim was when they were airing Death Note.

But yeah, SciFi has that anime monday thing going on, and they aired Gurren Lagann a while back. Right now Anime Network with FOD is airing Azumanga Daioh and Clannad. I think Anime Network would have the greatest chances of airing Haruhi or Lucky Star.

[Shiraishi-kun]

I don't have Anime Network... D:

Adult Swim still plays at least 7 titles! The catch- they're all shown only on Saturdays. :(

SyFy still sticks to science-fiction stories- I doubt they'd aquire Lucky Star.

Never had Anime Network. I DO have FUNimation, which can be very satisfying to watch until you begin to recognize all the voice actors in every single show, and that channel is very slow in adding new shows.

[Shiraishi-kun]

They added Ouran, didn't they?

[Kona]

Hmm well im usually out saturday nights. I should go check which shows are airing. If i see naruto, no thanks lol.

Never heard of FUNimation having their own network.

Anime Network is only on the Free On Demand from Time Warner Digital Cable, at first Anime Network was only being aired in Hawaii (ithink) but it should be airing in other places. I looked at Anime Networks wiki and it says that its either free on demand or subscription on demand, but it seems most cable providers have it available.

[Shiraishi-kun]

Naruto's not on TV anymore, don't worry.

Thyey show Code Geass, Bleach, Death Note, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Cowboy Bebop, InuYasha, The Big O, and Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit.

[Misao]

Naruto's not on TV anymore, don't worry.

Yeah they axed televisionized Naturo and One Piece. :(

FUNimation's had a network for a long time, but people have somehow forgotten it. You can see some FULL EPISODES ONLINE on their own website! Their titles are vast in subject matter and genre too, including xxxHolic, Ouran High School Host Club, Mushishi, Peach Girl, Solty Rei, Tsubasa, Suzuka, Hunter X Hunter, Buso Renkin, Moonphase and BECK. They used to show Hare and Guu, but they pulled it off the air before I could get FUNImation. :(

Back on topic, ....Lucky Star dub is good.

And RIGHT WHEN Funimation got it and they were starting to get to the good part in the Skypiea arc, too!

(I'm intentionally avoiding talking about the L*S dub... for good reason: I hate it. Look at my dub vs. sub topic, first post)

[Misao]

Yeah I don't wanna talk about One Piece. That move just made me madder than I've ever been at a tv screen.

[Kona]

I want to preorder it already lol. But on Amazon it says japanese audio :/ so im a bit confuzzeled there.

[Shiraishi-kun]

They might be pulling what they did with Gurren Lagann, and releasing a bare-bones subs-only version, followingupwith a full-featured dub releasea at a later date?

[Kona]

lets just see what happens comes august 4th lol. im pretty sure they stated the ova would be dubbed though.

[Shiraishi-kun]

Well, whatever works. As long as subs are on the DVD, I'll buy it.

[Kona]

So im looking at various websites, and it all says japanese audio :[

Pooper-doodle.

I really hope it has dubs and it's just never mentioned.

[Lucky Flame]

I actually don't mind either way, I just wanna get it, even though I don't have any other Lucky Star DVDs....


"Three forthcoming DVD releases were announced next. The first was the Lucky Star OAV, which will be released with subtitles only in the first week of August with a suggested retail price of $14.95." (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/convention/2009/anime-expo/bandai-entertainment)

[Shiraishi-kun]

^ I knew it. I'm buyin'.

Now only if I had the money... :(

[Lucky Flame]

I'm still getting it, along with all the other things on my long list of DVDs to get.

[Shiraishi-kun]

I'm getting it for three reasons.

1. It's subbed, and I think the subs kick the sh*t outta the dub any day of the week.
2. I'm a Lucky Star fan and Lucky Star is my favorite anime. I'll get anything Lucky Star related, no matter the price.
3. I wanna show it to everyone at the anime club when school starts up.

[Dally]

Let's hope the LS Dub of the OVA is at least Decent.

[Shiraishi-kun]

^ Don't push your luck... this is BANDAI after all...

[Kona]

I have seen MUCH worse.

[Shiraishi-kun]

^ *cough4Kidscough*

BTW, Kona: Misao in your avatar somehow reminds me of Ed from Cowboy Bebop.

[Misao]

^ *cough4Kidscough*

Ed loved joining Faye-Faye on the ship! :) THx!

And yes, BANDAI is not the worst out there. New York City's ADR actors... now THEY'RE the worst.

[Shiraishi-kun]

Yeah... Did you mean ADV?

[Misao]

Yeah... Did you mean ADV?


No. ADR. That's a name for voice-over work to a piece of video that's already been recorded, and actors rerecord over that. It's a term used in the industry, and you see it used in the end credits of anime.

[Shiraishi-kun]

Oh yeah...

4Kids is based in NY, so they qualify.

[VK-Skelton]

So im looking at various websites, and it all says japanese audio :[


How ironic the topic name now seems.

[Shiraishi-kun]

XD VK, I just now realized that. (Wow, am I dumb...)

[Whitenblade]

I wish the days would go by quicker, to the day when it is released...

[Shiraishi-kun]

Two weeks, then we get that. A few weeks later, we get Lucky Star manga vol. 2.

[Kona]

time to place an order on amazon lol!

[Misao]

I wish the days would go by quicker, to the day when it is released...

Volume 2 already?! All right! The anime pretty much covered Volume 1, so I didn't know if it was worth buying.

[Angelic]

I already seen the Subbed OVA. All 46 Minutes of it and boy, it was funny!

I will watch the Dubbed when it comes out.

Kagami is Miku Hatsune..

Oh, yeah!! Amazon's already placing preorders for volumes 2 and 3, which will be released on a monthly basis. And the anime is actually covered all the way up to middle of volume 3 or something like that, so by the ime you hit #3, you'll be getting some new material.

I'll just get Volume One and won't worry about it then.

[Whitenblade]

I'm really looking forward to the OVA. Problem is, will it hit the U.K. the same day as the U.S.?

[Whitenblade]

Should have stopped to think... Of course it will never... It makes "pigs growing wings and flying" look more probable.

[Kona]

Well i preordered it. Should ship out tomorrow from Amazon =][hr]
Oh what the heck, it shipped out today! Est. delivery of 8/11.

Lucky... I gotta wait 'till Christmas, when my mom'll (hopefully) get it for me.

[Misao]

I got the two first volumes in my cart, but I'll try to find the OVA too. I suppose it isn't dubbed after all. Snakes on a plane. <<<exclamation

[Kona]

Oh the joys of having your own debit card and *some* disposable income. I didnt pre-order vol 2 yet. Ill just wait til its close to being released, and order that along with either the Higurashi Complete Boxset, or Welcome to the NHK Complete Boxset. Or more Hayate manga lol.

What about the Haruhi Suzumiya complete set?

[Kona]

Ive actually been looking at that. But Amazon doesnt have them in stock atm. Bandai should release a complete season boxset for LS.

[Kagamin~Is love]

I'll be getting the OVA sooner or later. But I'm disappointed by the lack of a dub.

[Whitenblade]

It's only a matter of time for the OVA... And I wish that darned time would hurry up! I'm an impatient lad and I don't like being kept waiting for inconsiderably long lengths of time!

[leniman]

I think i'll just wait until some nice guy will get it and upload it to youtube, can anyone here who gets it upload it to youtube? I will subscribe you!

That's exactly what I was going to be hoping for to happen, for some good ole' anime-fan to upload it... That's how I watched Lucky Star... (Not wanting to sound like a dafty having little choice, what, in it's entirety, does the Subscribe button do?)

well it makes you subscribe to the user's videos, u can get knew updates anytime he uploads new videos and stuff, people on youtube REALLY wants subscribers and you can see them begging for you to subscribe them on their videos, I don't know what is this all about..... I have 1 subscriber that was really thankfull cuz I gave him an mp3 he was really looking for.

[Lucky Flame]

Maybe Vannygg will upload it.

[Kagamin~Is love]

Vannygg will probably upload it. He's uploaded every Lucky Star Episode.

We're not advocating YouTube uploads (it actually hurts the anime industry in the States), but I know that's where I was introduced to the show! And yes, it was Vannygg. :D I did buy the last DVD.

THe OVA is already ON YouTube somewhere, but it's not BANDAI's copy.

[Negemite]

I ordered the DVD off from Amazon and it should be here before school starts. Yay I cannot wait until it comes in from the mail! Lucky Star FTW!

[Dally]

Lol, I hope someone puts the Lucky Star OVA dubbed version on the INTERNET soon.

..Or did their budget fall down and can only translate them?

Get money and buy the DVD. Shows your appreciation for the show with money, sice if you don't buy it,you're ripping the company out of what's rightfully theirs.

I'm gonna buy the two first volumes of the manga. I'm still deciding on the OVA. If it's not dubbed, I may not. Also, if it's not dubbed, I would like to know what the voice actors feel about it!

[Droote]

I think it would be wierd if they didn't dub it when released on DVD.

[Misao]

I think it would be wierd if they didn't dub it when released on DVD.


Hey, that's the rumor. That they didn't dub it! Over at YouTube, BANDAI uploaded a teaser from the OVA and they only have it subtitled!!! For an American audience! That's stupid.

[Shiraishi-kun]

Hmm... the subs are a little too big for my tastes. Let's hope it gets fixed on the DVD release, like using the subtitle font and format used in previous TV episode sets.

[Kona]

Holy crap. I got my DVD in today! And yeah, theres no dubbing, says right on teh case. Shall i watch it hmm...

I wonder what they put for Kagami's dream?

So i opened it. Indeed no dubbing.

[Shiraishi-kun]

Hey, I'm fine with no dub. I don't even like the dub, as stated before.

But, aneehoo *goes back to re-watching Clannad episode 5*

[Dally]

Lol, wouldn't it be funny if there's a bonus feature with the interviews of the english VAs about how they feel about the OVA and how they didn't use their voices? (stealing Misao's joke) :D

Well, lookit me sig. :(

It's also pretty stupid, considering they already had the full English cast when they produced the actual series!

[Kona]

I think its even more stupid that it took them this long to release the ova... without a dub.

When Bandai announced they were licensing Kannagi, the next day they released the subs only release. And that was last month.

The setup only lets you put the subtitles on or off, and i didnt check the extras yet.

btw Amazon is the shit lol.

BANDAI has a reputation for delaying releases, and I know not everything licensed here gets a dub. But... it took them THIS long, and they ALREADY had the cast together...... ug.

It's like I posted in my comment on the clip trailer: release a sub/dub joint DVD soon, because even though I don't like the dub, I know plenty of people who do and are waiting patiently for it. (Okay, maybe I didn't say it in those words, but...)

[Misao]

I'm sure BANDAI has their reasons, but not dubbing the OVA just makes me speculate that fans can do a better job at it than they can! This is probably the 50th time I'm linking to these videos!

I really do like the dub voice actors though.

I like some of the fans voices more than others, obviously. However, since BANDAI hires professionals, they usually impress me.

But the girl playing Konata in THIS one has a very unique voice that oddly suits her as well! :O You be the judge.

For some reason, the YouTube code doesn't work.

[Tsukasa's_Lover]

What did you guys pay for your OVA's at your stores?

Pacific DVD.com - $9.53 for me. NO SHIPPING FEE (Just ordered it yesturday so it will take a few days to be delivered)

[Shiraishi-kun]

Amazon lists it as eleven bucks or something like that.

[Lucky Flame]

I'ma add it to mah birthday list, since I've got no money.

[Misao]

I'ma add it to mah birthday list, since I've got no money.


But 11 bucks is VERY good for a DVD release! I might just go with what Tsukasa_Lover did.

[Lucky Flame]

Yea, but literally, I have no money. :p

[Kona]

Got mine from amazon. best shipping price to hawaii ive ever seen, and it comes in super fast. cant wait for the higurashi complete boxset to get released. gonna get it from amazon too.

finally checked the extras. nothing special. has textless ending, trailers for The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, Haruhi Suzumiya, Kurakami, and The Third: The Girl With The Blue Eyes.

Now that I know it isn't dubbed, I wasn't expecting much else.

[Kona]

Yup. And yeah, for kagami's dream its what everyone didnt want it to be lol. i kinda expected it to be that though.

I wanna Cos----

Ive been wanting to watch The Girl Who Leapt Through Time for a while, but the trailer just cemented the idea. I heard it was really good and im trying hard not to place an order.

I didn't say I WASN'T going to get it! :)

[Kona]

Yeah they should really put trailers for the newer releases instead of stuff thats been released for a while. Like Kannagi, or something.

[Negemite]

I just bought a copy of Lucky Star OVA and it's coming over here soon, maybe tomorrow infact. Next I'm going to try to get the rest of Pani Poni Dash DVDs.

[Kona]

^^ Thats also on my list of dvds to get.

I think rightstuf has them for super cheap. 7 bucks i think.

[Negemite]

Well I got my Lucky Star OVA: Original Video Animation and it's pretty good. But it preplexs me that they didn't include the English Dub and a decent amount of special features. It took them about five months to release the Lucky Star OVA: Original Video Animation and they didn't include the English Dub and any of decent special features. Well at least it's cheaper than the other Lucky Star DVDs and more expensive than the Lucky Star Manga.

They should've added the a English Dub right from the start. Also they should include some more interviews with the English Voice Actors of Lucky Star like Miyuki's Voice Actor and such. Also I think Bandai Entertainment where too busy making the front cover, back cover, and the disc design all nice. Also no Liner Notes like the previous Lucky Star DVDs. Which it's disappointing, but I get there's a Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei reference and a Sgt. Frog reference as well.

[Kirino]

OMFG IT CAME IN!!

Huh. So THAT'S how it looks!

Oh, I'm talking about you. :) The cover, too, though. I like how they always make the effort to make original cover drawings.

I lent my brother the DVD and my brother thought Misao was a guy (Well, since she was called "Prince" Misao so it makes sense, that's what confused me when I first saw it XD)

I lent my brother the DVD and my brother thought Misao was a guy (Well, since she was called "Prince" Misao so it makes sense, that's what confused me when I first saw it XD)


Misao is mai husbando.

Pfft. If Kagami doesn't want be her/his wife, I would.

Kagami belongs to Konata. Misao is up for grabs unless something is going on between her and Ayano.

Yep, Misao's available! ;) Ayano's taken already, as you remember.

Most LS fanfics I've read are like this

or dad is exchanged with Kagami.

Seriously people, are subtitles really that big of a deal for you? >.<

I'd pick the dub over the subs any day.

The voices are so much better in the sub

No what? They are not a big deal, and I can read and watch them at the same time (especially for those shows that were NOT dubbed). But seriously, guys, it's ENGLISH. I connect more if I can understand what a character is saying.

But isn't it more fun to get the feeling that you watch something in a more cultural way?
Besides, the characters in LS are Japanese, and their true personality are shown better when they speak their native language.

True but hey, people have different opinions of Anime.
I first saw FullMetal Alchemist on Adult Swim and i NEVER saw the Japanese dub of it. Same with Inuyasha and Case Closed. I never saw the Japanese dubs of those Anime but the English VA's for those Anime fit the characters well so i cant really say the Japanese dub is better. :p

Well, I had something similar. I actually saw the dub of an anime called Ouran High School Host Club first. Normally, when I see a dub and then a sub, it takes me only a few minutes to mentally adjust myself to the Japanese cast. However, with Ouran, I couldn't STAND the Japanese voices (all except for Hunny-sempai) and I never got used to them. (Tamaki stood out: Vic just comes off as such a superior character). It was rare and weird.

[Kirino]

Kinda like Cowboy Bebop, I couldn't stand the japanese dub but the English dub is amazing

[Shiraishi-kun]

^ That's another one. Steve Blum's Spike voice in incredible.

[Misao]

Maybe another theory- the dubs are bad because they simply include bad actors, or they have GOOD actors who have trouble trying to match with the timing on-screen. Vic is one of the few who can do both very well!

One thing I hate about fandubbers though. They don't put enough power in their voice when the character is supposed to be yelling something. They try to emulate the yelling sound while being quiet by having a low-sounding breathy voice. It just sounds like a kindergartner doing an impersonation of a man falling from a cliff.

Thats from Kannagi. I think its like episode 7 or something. Its a really funny series, id recommend it. There are a few 'mature' scenes though, but nothing big.

[Malek]

I've never realy liked the Dubs to much,just doesnt feel right.
But for what its worth i hope they do a good job for those who do enjoy it.

[Whitenblade]

Dubs are always fine with me (unless the voices are unbearable). Subtitles are a last resort because (not because I'm lazy) they distract me by having to look at the bottom of the screen most of the time instead of fully enjoying the anime.

[Malek]

I read quickly so i never had that problem. But i see how that could be bad as not everyone can read quickly. I tried the dubs before,never liked them but i got the subs so it doesnt matter.

http://a6.vox.com/6a00d4143c4850685e0109d0f4dbee000f-500pi

That's basically my pholosophy, but I watch a dub if it's up to a certain standard.

[Droote]

To people who doesn't like subs:
In animes like Lucky Star, Clannad and TMoHS (slice of life-animes), there is not much action, often a still picture with only one mouth moving. You've got plenty of time to read the subtitles without missing anything.

[kirant]

I'm not a major defender of dubs (I'll bounce back and force depending on the show), but some subbed shows have lines that are too long. Especially because of the difference in language. For example, translating the phrase "Fly over the impossible" is a much longer phrase in Japanese IIRC than it is in English. Often, this goes the opposite direction. One paticular memory that comes to mind for me is the Adventure of Mikuru (TMoHS). It was near impossible to keep up with all the reading.

Alternatively, subs are really bad if there are lots of characters talking at once.

I'm not suprised the OVA wasn't dubbed. The last part (With LIVE people) would be near impossible to dub.

They could've subbed it like with the endings in the show and The Adventures of Minoru Shiraishi extras.

Even in the series, they NEVER dubbed the live-action Shiraishi songs- that wouldn't even counter into the reasoning.

That's different. That's an ending. Plus, they didn't dub (much) of the endings for the first half. You could have easily dubbed that with the english versions.

Cash cow. Nothing else.

[Droote]

But the DVD volumes were dubbed. It makes no sense!

[kirant]

That's because that was money-worthy.

I'm sure the company believed bringing over big name VAs like Wendee Lee, Kari Wahlgren, and Michelle Ruff out, and paying them (fairly) big bucks to act one (fine, the legnth of 2) eisode wasn't worth it. The extra money they predicted they gained wouldn't make up the cost of hauling them all over. Alternatively, they turned the company down.

[Droote]

About the dub of LS in general: I find it strange to hear them saying Onee-chan and other common Japanese words. Also, many of the voices are over-done, especially Kagami's voice.
I'm glad Konata manages to say "manga" and not the american "mænga" though.

Well, other dubs use Japanese honorifics too (even studios as high as Disney use them in their dubs), so I'd either get used to it, or drop it.

Why can't they just say "(big) sister" or "cousin" in the dub?

Because since the characters are Japanese and live in Japan-----


..... hmmm, actually that does make sense. Why WOULDN'T they use our own honorifics?!

[Droote]

Because since the characters are Japanese and live in Japan-----


--- and should therefore speak Japanese. But when they are to speak English, they should keep it all English, not only most of the words.

They keep the honorifics because if they were to take it out it would lose some of its context and meaning.

Take for example when Misao addresses Kagami by Hiiragi, but Konata addresses her by Kagami. This shows that Konata has a closer relationship to Kagami than Misao.

And I think the point of the dub is so that it could be understood in english, not really make everything english and use english pop culture references.

But I admit, the first time I ever heard honorifics in a dub I was confused (FLCL), but after learning more about Japanese culture it all fell together.

That's not really honorifics, that's just different people using different name, which you could get anywhere.

[Kona]

Yeah but in Japanese culture its considered very rude to address someone by their first name if you dont know them very well.

[Droote]

But still, "onee-chan" doesn't fit in the English language. Just use "(big) sister".

[Whitenblade]

Wouldn't adding -san (-sama for very formal) to the end of a person's surname (generally) denote formality instead?

[Droote]

all the prefixes and suffixes just don't fit in the English version
akira-sama can be miss akira.

[Shiraishi-kun]

I prefer keeping the honorifics, as long as their pronounced right.

It's "chan" with a slightly soft "a", not "Chauwn"
"San" with a slightly soft "a" and not "Sawn" (makes it sound like a slasher show)
You get the idea...

The voice actors (in LS anyways) are saying the Japanese words unamerican, and that's good, but I think when they speak English, don't drag in foreign words out of nowhere, especially when there are English words for those foreign words.
