TVTropes.org (http://tvtropes.org) is basically Wikipedia without the rudeness from the administrative staff who only think about "notability". It should be known by anyone who's knowledgable about television and movies... and particularly anime fans. For some reason, the site is very anime-centric, for covering every narrative outlet. That place can get very addicting too. You should time yourself when editting.

Of course, Lucky Star has its own page.

Lucky Star images proudly serve as trope examples like on its own user review, Hot-Blooded, Puni Plush, Dojikko, Actor Allusion, Instant Cosplay Surprise, You Gotta Have Blue Hair, Joshikousei, Luminescent Blush, Ocular Gushers, and Kyoto Animation. It sure gets around. Tell me if I missed one.

What do you like about the site, or don't like? Care to improve the L*S page?

Guys, stop messing around with what they clearly state. It states that they have a character sheet and that all character-related tropes should be placed there.

Thusly, Luminescent Blush wasn't ignored, but was placed under Kagami's section of the Character page as she is the only character to use it.

Just sayin'.

YES! It worked perfectly. Honestly, I just saw the part which said Lucky Star and the tropes. My brain attempted to fill in the rest.

Lucky Star seems to have generated several tropes. In paticular, the Anime Eye ones (Tsurime) seem to specfically talk about L*S for the most part.

Well, you can edit right there on the site that Lucky Star originated those tropes. Although, for the life of me, I wouldn't be able to keep track.

I agree wholly with that pic. I googled "Hot Shounen Mom" on TV Tropes while taking a break in between episodes of Clannad, and I ended up wasting a good hour that I could've used to watch more Clannad.

Did that once before when watching One Piece, too.

I've edited the following pages

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (added on the Jump the Shark section)
Suzumiya Haruhi (added Jump the Shark to the List)
Tear Jerker - Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (contributed to the first section)
One Piece (edited Large Ham section to include Franky)

'Jump The Shark' isn't really a TVTropes idiom, but there is a trope for it. I'm talking about phrases and saying that originate there. Lampshade hanging is probably one of those as well.

"Lucky Star uses a humorous scene of its main characters singing other Anime Theme Songs at a karaoke center as its ending theme. The second half of the series uses live-action footage of one of the series' voice actors singing other shows' theme songs at the seaside.
The show's opening theme, "Motteke! Sailor Fuku", is an insanely catchy, tongue-in-cheek tribute to the fetish appeal of anime characters in "sailor suit" school uniforms. It also contains Gratuitous Japanese, to match with the Gratuitous English most other songs spout.
Though it can be debated that the song truly fits in the context of the actual show, as various attempts at translations show that the lyrics do in fact mention specific things that do happen in Lucky Star; along with the aside fact of randomness in the song that parallels the layout of the show itself."

So true. The OP song's lyrics are making no sense.[hr]
