Lucky Star will be on Animax (Starhub TV Ch532) starting 8th of June, Mondays to Fridays at 7.30pm.
Synopsis
Based on the very real setting of Kasukabe city in Saitama Prefecture, Lucky Star follows the amusing antics and lively activities of four Japanese high school girls through their seemingly ordinary day-to-day lives in and out of school.
Meet Konata, an athletic and intelligent girl too dedicated to her favourite anime shows to excel in anything but being an anime otaku. There is Miyuki, the bespectacled living example of moe who has an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of all subjects.
Also, Kagami is a ‘bitter-sweet’ character who is tough but shy to Konata's teases and pranks; and her younger fraternal twin sister, Tsukasa, a kind but air-headed simpleton.
Laughs abound through Lucky Star as the motley crew of teen girls find themselves in silly situations and hilarious misadventures more often than not. Anime fans will especially enjoy the series which is peppered with humorous references to the prevailing anime, manga and Japanese pop culture.
The popularity of the Lucky Star has brought more than 470,000 fans from across Japan over the 2011 New Year holidays to pay ‘pilgrimage’ to the Washinomiya Shrine. As Tokyo area's oldest shrine and real-life backdrop of the anime series, the shrine is where Kagami and Tsukasa work as miko (shrine maidens). The influx of anime fans over the years has brought more than 1 billion yen to the town of Washimiya town where the shrine is situated.
