Minoru Shiraishi here! The season of summer starts for the girls of Lucky Star and with it comes those staple images of vacation like gold fish scooping at outdoor festivals while wearing a yukata, Smashing watermelons on the beach in swim suits, and that homework due when vacations over that I completely forgot about! Ms. Kuroi s going to kill me if I don t get that done! Knowing Konata she has probably spent the whole vacation playing online games and won t get her work done till she s copied it from Kagami. I wonder if she d let me copy too, probably not since I don t know her that well. I really need to make some smarter friends,What? I m getting off track? Sorry. Please watch us! Limited Edition includes Konata school Swimsuit T shirt, and lucky star Ending theme Collection CD.

THE Otaku ComedySep 03, 2008 The series continues to make me laugh on multiple levels and every time I rewatch it I find something new that I missed before. While someone can't stress enough how much of a niche title this is, you equally cannot stress enough that this is comic gold. The jokes are well paced, the characters are all appealing in their various roles and dialogue really keeps your attention. If you call yourself otaku, then it's hard to see how you could pass this one up.

Either you get it or notAug 09, 2008 Lucky Star is an excellent show. Illustrating the life of Konata, and her friends. Mainly because original manga was 4 panels kind, it still makes sense even if you don't watch the whole thing in one sitting. Story other than main theme and scenes do not rely much on other part, making it relatively light one to watch. Characters are varied enough more likely you will find at least one character you'll like in the show.
Comes with quite a bit of bonus, which I think is on per with its price tag. If you just want DVD, you can get that way too. (CDs are nice, but I have hard time imagining myself wearing the T-shirt...)
Overall quality of dub is decent, but it is not certainly best one in my opinion. It is somewhat unfortunate as dubs for some characters are perfect. I'm not evaluating subtitles, as I watch Japanese track without one.
You might not get the full idea of humors in the show, if you don't know the original of those came from. Luckly, DVD insert includes information about background information about jokes and humors in the show.

Almost FantasticJul 17, 2008 So i just got this, and i am for the most part, very happy with it.
You can't go wrong with a swimsuit t-shirt (although nobody i know would be seen dead with me wearing it) and the CD is awesome. Unfortunately less free stuff than the first special edition but beggars cant be choosers and to be perfectly honest, a small quantity of bonus merchandise is better than none.
My only realy problem with this is unlike the first volume that came in an awesome sturdy thick-card box with a little door in it to get the stuff out, they kind of cheaped out on this one and put it all into a very flimsy cardboard box with less cool artwork on it.
But its still awesome and if you were wondering if you should buy this or the regular version, i would fully recommend spending the extra.

Awesome!!!!Jul 06, 2008 Lucky Star is an amazing 26 episodes-long anime that aired in Japan last year. Thank you Bandai for bringing it over with this overwhelming quality and great extras!

Splendid packageJul 05, 2008 This is my first review in Amazon, so I'm going to try to be as thorough and clear as possible. Instead of reviewing the show, I'm going to review the package, because let's face it, if you're thinking about buying this, you've already made your mind up about the show, and are just thinking if it's worth it to buy the Limited Edition.
Well, that's what I'm here for. I pre-ordered this item and I received it on July 1.
This, like the other collaborative releases by Bandai Entertainment and Kadokawa Pictures USA, is a superb package. These people really know their fan-base; what they desire. The set comes in a cardboard box, that temporarily holds the DVDs (and bonus items) for easy shipping. I use the term "temporarily" very loosely. Very likely, you won't get rid of that box, because of the art that adorns it.
The DVD case itself, like the Vol. 1 case, comes in a basic white color, made to look like notebook paper. This time with a very basic drawing of Tsukasa in a Shrine Maid outfit. This, like the volume before and the volumes to follow, is Konata's drawing, and it suits the case wonderfully. The contents of the DVD is the basic fare: Dolby Digital Audio in both Japanese and English; full subtitles and/or sign subtitles. The extras are a bit weak, however, with only the Key Scenes gallery, and a couple (I think three) episodes of "The Adventures of Minoru Shiraishi" (of which, by the way, I've never seen a single episode).
Of course, the above (except for the "temporary box") is included in the standard edition, so it's time to get into the bonus items not included anywhere else.
Sadly, there's one less extra here than in the Vol. 1 LE. If you remember, Vol. 1 had the Chocolate Coronet monitor wipe. It would have been nice if this included something similar. Breaking it down, we have:
Vol. 1:
1. Konata Character CD
2. Opening Music CD (doesn't count for the comparison)
3. Box for the entire set (doesn't count for the comparison)
4. Uniform-print shirt
5. Choco Coronet monitor wipe
Vol. 2:
1. Kagami Character CD
2. Bathing suit-print shirt
As you can see, Vol. 2 doesn't have an equivalent for the monitor wipe. Really. Not even a small plushie to hang on one's cellular phone.
However, what it does include is simply fantastic. The Kagami CD really brings a new light about Kagami that I hadn't completely realized until I heard it. It features five tracks. The first two are songs, as performed by Kagami; the last two are the instrumental versions of the songs; and the third track is Kagami... talking. Sadly, I don't understand Japanese, so I don't know what she's saying.
The shirt is also a very comfortable shirt. It's of good quality, or at least it certainly feels like it is. Some fans, especially the male ones, may feel a bit weird wearing it, though. I, on the other hand, quite enjoyed wearing the shirts (both this and the uniform-print one), they're simply too comfortable.
So my final word: Very highly recommended for anyone who wants to buy Vol. 2. For the price, it's a steal in and of itself. If you're a Lucky Star fan, don't get caught without this package!
