A sketch of the Lucky Star character Kagami Hiiragi by Naru Nanao has been sold for 1,311,000 Yen, equivalent to 14,000 US Dollars.

The Sketch by Naru Nanao

Da Capo and ef – a fairytale of the two, as well as the sola multimedia project, originally drew the picture at the end of the Lucky Star anime series, at the end of 2007.

Lucky Star OVA to be Released in North America on August 4th

VK-Skelton — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 00:34:49 +0000

After announcing they’d aquired the license for the Lucky Star OVA earlier the year in Wondercon, Bandai confirmed the release date for the English dub as the 4th of August.

Lucky Star OVA

The OVA, featuring six seperate stories during it’s three-quarters of an hour running time, is a slight departure from the slice-of-life of the series, and focuses on more absurdist situations, some bordering on the surreal, including a dream sequence, the characters playing a MMPORPG, a scene from a dog’s point of view, and frogs. It culminates in a live-action version of the Lucky Channel segment which rounded off each episode of the series.
