So, I'm raising a dog in-game.
It's just so cute that I can't help but talk to it!
I see...
You know, for some reason, when you speak to animals,
you end up using a really coquettish voice... even though it's a game.
Oh, I know what you mean by that.
Gyopi-chan!
When I talk to my goldfish, I end up with a really sweet voice.
I can understand doing it for dogs and cats,
but talking to fish makes it sound like you're a really lonely person.
What was that?! That's prejudice, damn you!
What's with that look of pity in your eyes?!
That reminds me of a question I've had for a while.
Among all the obedience commands, or rather tricks,
you can teach a dog, what does "chin-chin" mean?
Well... if I go into the details, it will get rather long,
so I'll abbreviate and just say that it's for certain
that the origins of the term can be traced back to China.
Now, all of you that had naughty thoughts, raise your hands.
There is Substance in 2-D
Study About Gun__m
Come to think of it, Gun___m is still really popular.
Yeah! Your dad here loves it too!
There's various varieties of it, too.
Like V and W and X.
Yeah, I've seen every series in real time.
Call it fan spirit, or a sense of duty.
Then...
If something like "G ndam Serial Murders" _
or "Detective Gunda_" started, you'd still watch?
If you love Gun_am... You have a duty to watch it!
Duty?
But if you can't refer to it with a letter, I'm sure it doesn't count.
While on the subject of _____dam, I just had a thought.
I sure don't look it, but I'm already two years older than _muro now.
That really was sudden.
And in two more years, I'll be the same age as Mr. Bri___t.
I can't even imagine it!
Well, you know, Mr. Br ht is rather extreme... ___
Even for Gun am. _
Ha_an's the same way.
Or rather, since you look more childish than your actual age, Konata,
I have second thoughts about using you as the basis to judge from.
Shock!
At least you could say that I look younger than my actual age...
No, but you're cute!
I got something valuable from our neighbors.
Apparently, it's a vacation souvenir.
What? A vase?
You have grown into a good girl, just my type!
You're such a cute girl!
Dad, it's hot.
Or rather, that line sounds rather dangerous.
It's morning...
I drank way too much last night,
so I thought I'd totally pass out until afternoon...
I guess I'm still young?
And now, the morning news for Monday, July 2.
Sometime early this morning, a man who had been eating in a restaurant
What? What happened to Sunday? Where did my holiday go?!
in the metro area suddenly started to scream, "This ramen tastes awful!" What? What happened to Sunday? Where did my holiday go?!
I always think about doing my best to study for exams until evening.
But I can't help but get sleepy.
I asked Sis about it, and she said...
You're scared of horror flicks, right?
If you watch one, maybe you won't be able to sleep at night.
The other day, you crawled into my futon after a show like that.
So I watched something scary, and since then I haven't fallen asleep.
Nothing like your sister, so to say.
But ever since, at night I get worried about what's going on behind me,
CLANG
and about every faint sound I hear...
It's even harder to concentrate on studying than it was before!
And because of that, I've been losing sleep,
making me really sleepy during class...
But despite you saying that you are scared of such shows,
you tend to watch those kinds of things pretty often, don't you?
It's not that I want to watch them.
My mother is like that as well...
Hey, Miyuki, I rented this. Would you like to watch with me?
I'm scared to watch it alone.
Those scared of things like that tend to watch many shows of that type.
They want to see something they're afraid of.
That's not it, Yuki-chan! In my case, I really hate stuff like that!
Iwasaki-san, do you understand this problem?
I was just thinking that one over myself.
If a little more thought doesn't do it,
I was going to ask Miyuki-san.
I see. We're lucky that we both have reliable upperclassmen so close to us!
...was what Iwasaki-san and I were talking about at school today.
What? She's relying on me that much?!
She's going to personally experience the harshness of reality later on!
Hey, Sis.
Sis, did you ever study for exams together with Bro Ki?
I didn't...
It's a popular situation in games and stuff,
but when a boy and a girl who get along well are together,
there's no way they'd be able to concentrate, right?
When you're not concentrating, you start fantasizing about what you like.
I'm seeing withdrawal symptoms.
Sis, there's something that I want you to teach me...
I'm kinda cornered with my own studying now, so can you ask Sis Yui?
Study, gotta study.
What a dirty trick!
I went to a different school... I didn't learn this at my school!
I see...
Yeah, right!
I'm stuck myself.
Sis, do you understand this?
Of course you wouldn't...
Don't ask if you're not relying on me for an answer.
Weren't you here for the conversation I had earlier?
Oh, I wonder if I should just call Miyuki-san and ask...
Though I'm sure it would bother her.
Yeah, well, I think she'd be bothered.
I mean, it's late.
Why are parents written out of the game from the start at times like this?
I'd like her to rely on me every so often...
I'll correct that!
Izumi! Don't go falling asleep!
In this day and age where corporal punishment is banned,
you really punch people on a regular basis.
Not that it bothers me.
True. But it's not just anyone.
I do choose who I hit, in a lot of ways.
It gets to be a pain later on, you know.
Wow, she clearly admitted it... That's another amazing part about her.
In the first place, the banning of corporal punishment is absurd!
Well, that's the end of class.
Miyuki-san, I'm sorry, I don't understand the era titles and stuff.
Yuki-chan, teach me this problem!
All of you with "Takara, Takara!"
Why don't you come ask your teacher about things you don't understand?!
Miss Kuroi!
Oh, Izumi, what is it?
Well, there was something that I wanted to ask you.
What is it? You can ask me anything, go ahead, ask, it's okay!
It's about a rare item in the game that I'm playing right now.
Hey, wait... Ma'am?
That's not it! That's not what I want to hear!
It's really hot after a typhoon's passed.
We had a lot of typhoons this year, so of course they're past.
That was a good one.
Wait, what was good?
I'll ask just to be on the safe side... You were making a joke earlier, right?
Um, there's something I want to ask you, Sis...
What is it? You're being so formal.
About this morning... Did Kona-chan say something strange?
I didn't see anything wrong about what she said, either...
She watches the news with me, but why is she at Konata's level?
Missed Delivery Attempt
Why does their timing always make me think they're aiming for this?!
The pitcher is looking out for the runner on second base...
What's going on with the baseball broadcast today?
Oh, at this rate, it looks like it'll run long.
Again? Geez!
I have to reprogram the timer recording.
Oh, brother...
Why can't they just reserve a longer slot for the game to begin with?
In the first place,
professional baseball is really slow with each and every movement.
If the players did all their movements in a lively manner,
couldn't they shorten the game time?
Well, those who like it like everything about it, including things like that...
Maybe they're concentrating mentally or something, too.
How is it? Are you used to school life now?
Yes, but there's lots of homework and stuff, so it's very hard.
I see.
Seniors concentrate mainly on entrance exam preparation,
so there's not much homework, right?
Konata... you...
Oh, I don't know what you're talking about.
Whew, it's so hot out.
Konata! What are you thinking, walking around like that!
What are you going to do if Yu-chan mimics you?!
But it's been hot out lately.
You know, it's that thing they do at the Diet, too.
"Cool Biz"?
- Yeah, that.
- No, that's a bit different. - Yeah, that.
- No, that's a bit different.
What have you been doing?
I was wondering when I'd receive a reply to a text message I sent...
Doesn't it bother you?
I was reading a book, and missed my station...
As always, Miyuki-san, your nonchalant clumsiness is so cute!
You think so? I think it would just be a pain.
You don't get it.
The shameful look in trying to patch things up is where you find moe.
It's cuter to have a couple flaws!
What? So, when you're at work, you're like...
I'm sorry, I spilled that. I'm terribly sorry about it, sir.
...or something?
Kagami... You look a bit stupid, you know? What are you doing?
It was a conversation topic you brought up!
Though I was the one that did that.
And so? Do you do clumsy things as well, to gain that kind of points?
No, I don't do stuff like that.
There might be some prejudice about it, but the manager would scold me.
Really? Knowing you, I thought
you'd do it and say "That stuff is so moe," or something like that.
You don't get it, Kagami.
It's true that clumsy girls are cute, and there is moe there,
but if it does damage in real life, it's rather irritating, you know?
Even if it's something that you laugh at and let go in games.
Otaku are really harsh about things like that.
Once again, if we have a contestant with a perfect score today,
courtesy of Look JTB,
we'll give away a one month tundra- tour package to a lucky viewer.
Variety shows and quiz shows like this often have prizes, and cash too.
Maybe it's because you get more contestants when you do.
And if a popular celebrity comes for it, they can get better ratings!
That's true, though I don't know the details.
But, you know...
If they made the viewers able to join the quiz,
and tilt the prize money towards the viewer entries,
don't you think the ratings would go up even more?
I kinda think that way, but you have a very straightforward appeal there.
Morning!
S'up?
I was thinking while playing a game yesterday,
but who is the school idol at our school?
What? A school idol? You mean something like "Miss Ryouou"?
Yeah, something like that. Normally, you'd see something of that sort.
Normally, in games, you'd have something like groupies and stuff.
I'm tired again today!
So refreshing!
Oh, I have the early shift tomorrow.
I guess I won't connect to the 'net tonight, and just go to sleep.
It's bad if I'm late.
Securing hours of sleep first is a sign that I'm aging...
When I was still in school, I'd shave off hours of sleep for my hobbies...
Lucky Star!
Tamura-san, what's wrong?
You've been doing all sorts of things for a while now...
Oh, when you draw, you know how you end up with
the same facial expression as the character you're drawing?
I see... So you were drawing?
I didn't know that you drew manga, Tamura-san.
Though it's mainly doujin.
What kind of manga do you draw?
Well, normal four-panel comic strips...
Or romance manga between my favorite game characters...
This is so hard to answer!
The lottery ticket that I bought the other day on a trial basis
was a winner for 3,000 yen.
So I thought that I was in luck from early in the morning.
Wow, amazing!
But on my way here, my bicycle got a flat tire and it costs money to repair it,
and I had to buy a lunch at the store to replace the one I dropped...
Just like it was planned to be, the 3,000 yen cleanly left my hands.
Truth is stranger than fiction, they say.
But, you know,
It's probably good fodder for manga, so I'm thinking that it's all right.
So tough...
Roar
Thud
To an artist, her writing hand is like her life...
This is one thing that I need to risk my life to save...
So tough...
Wow, just as I thought, you're really good, Tamura-san!
No, I've been in a slump lately... That's a failure.
Oh, but of what I've recently done, I think this one went pretty well.
That's right. Often, the person looking at art doesn't
understand where the artist is being picky, or the subtleties in the art.
I knew that, I knew that.
Oh, drat!
What's wrong, Tamura-san?
My favorite mechanical pencil!
I was drawing yesterday, and left it on top of my desk back home!
Shall I lend you one?
No, it has to be that one, or rather, how it draws is totally different...
You're right, mechanical pencils are all the same.
Yeah, I know that. I knew you'd react that way.
And so, I got lost, and couldn't get out for three hours...
What's wrong, Tamura-san?
So embarrassing!
What are they thinking, to dress like that on the streets?
Coats?
Wow! Aren't they hot, dressing like that in the summer?
So this pain is only for those in the know?
Hold on a sec, I'm going to text a friend!
Welcome!
Wow, it's crowded.
I'm going to put our names down on the sheet.
And I ended up playing games with Sis until really late again last night.
Miss Suzaku? Miss Suzaku, party of three? And I ended up playing games with Sis until really late again last night.
They're calling us.
But Tamura-san, that was a different name...
Sometimes, I feel like writing down the name of my favorite character.
You just want to feel the character close to you or something...
Haruhi / Kyon / Yuki / Mikuru / Itsuki Current turn: Haruhi
There really are people like me around everywhere I go...
Letter from the Nurse's Office
Thank you.
I wish I could be slender and tall like you, Iwasaki-san.
Fantasy
Minami-chan, I guess you can say that you're someone I admire... so...
Yutaka...
Reality
Kobayakawa-san, I'm sure you'll still grow.
Perhaps you'll end up taller than me.
More than you, Iwasaki-san?
Fantasy
Minami-chan... Minami-chan...
Minami-chan.
No! That is the law of the land, so no!
Or rather, the last one is obviously different!
Calm down, me!
Tamura-san, are you all right? You seem a bit pale...
Actually, the submission deadline for the upcoming event was today...
I sent out the manuscript I worked on all night via courier this morning.
Oh, but when I'm working so desperately for something,
I feel like I'm shining from within...
So tough!
Tamura-san!
What is yaoi?
Which meaning are you asking about?
Lucky Star!
Lucky Channel!
Morning luckies!
Time passes by quickly, this is already the 19th episode of Lucky Channel!
It's starting to feel like we're finally nearing the climax!
I'm Akira Kogami, your navigator!
And I'm Minoru Shiraishi, her assistant. My best regards.
Helper helper submarine, something good's gonna happen!
In any case, Akira-sama, you seem to be in a fine mood.
Helper helper submarine, something good's gonna happen! Did something wonderful happen to you?
Do you think something has?
Well...
Never mind.
Oh, being on TV really wears on one's nerves.
Fatigue builds up after 19 episodes.
I feel like I want to take it slow and unwind,
soaking in a hot spring or something.
I wonder if I can't get something like that vacation prize,
like the quiz show in the main show.
Then you have to start by becoming a contestant on that quiz show.
Oh, but vacations are so nice! I'd like to go myself.
When you travel through lands you don't know, it clears the soul!
There's nothing better!
You like to travel?
Of course, of course! I love it!
I've actually gone to all sorts of places, you know.
I climbed up Mt. Takao, and I had that trip to Jougashima.
I'm an outdoor kind of guy!
So you like to travel.
Lately, I think strolls in the woods calm your nerves,
with Mother Nature all around you.
Oh, that's wonderful. Mother Nature, a stroll in the woods.
It calms your nerves down.
Doesn't it just?
Far from the noise of the city, leaving your body to quiet nature!
It soothes both the body and the mind!
It's good. Isn't Mother Nature wonderful?
Don't you think Mother Nature is wonderful?
You want to go for a stroll in the woods?
Are you serious? Can I?
Oh no, if I can, I'll go!
Yeah, then, it's been decided... Minoru's Mother Nature Tour.
- So huge!
- Take it. - So huge!
- Take it.
And they have what you wish they had.
Um, this...
Where am I going?
Mt. Fuji.
Well, but I've already been up a mountain once...
Yeah. Not the mountain itself, but the big forest at its base.
I want you to go into Fuji Forest.
Oh, I see, the forest...
Who? Oh, me?
Yup.
Um, so after getting there, what should I do?
Go scoop up some water.
Water?
I want to drink the famous Fuji water, so get some from the forest.
You're kidding! You can just buy it in convenience stores and stuff!
I want it fresh!
I won't be alone, right? Alone? ALONE?!
Someone is going to come with me, right?
It's all right, you'll be fine.
The director and producer will sacrifice themselves to go with you.
Aren't you glad?
I see...
Now, don't you just waste time there! I see...
Now, don't you just waste time there!
Don't cross the line between life and death!
Please, let go of me! Don't cross the line between life and death!
Please, let go of me! Oh, it's already this late?
That's it... I'm gonna do it! I'll do it! I'll do it! Oh, it's already this late?
That's it... I'm gonna do it! I'll do it! I'll do it! Everyone, we'll have a lovely guest for the next episode of Lucky Channel!
Look forward to it! Bye-nee!
Ouch, ouch, ouch! Look forward to it! Bye-nee!
You didn't have to have an excuse to drive him out, did you?
Just hurry up and ch...
A portion of my body is hot! hot!
This episode, please enjoy the grandiose scenery of nature, and two lovely lades that play with floating bubbles.
Hello there! This is Minoru Shiraishi.
Now, I'd like you to listen: Otokono Ikizama (The Life of a Man)!
Hah, I want to be just like that guy
Now, if you'd like, you can turn the sound off.

Now, what's with the next episode of Lucky Star?
Nanako here.
Yui-chan here!
I always think that before summer starts,
you have all sorts of expectations and it gets you really excited and stuff,
but before you know it it's over without you doing anything.
Well, it's true that there's not many special things going on.
In the first place, I can't think that a relationship with someone
you met in such an irresponsible time period would last long at all.
I don't know about that.
Well, both of us still have time, so we should each do our best!
Er, yes?
Oh, that one is hard to reply to...
