[Lucky Star] I still find it completely adorable now, but is it because I’m an around-thirty otaku from the Lucky Star generation…?

(=ω=.)

2: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:08Yeahx45

I really think it’s cute.

3: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:09Yeahx4

Since the late 90s, my eyes have been getting smaller and smaller.
The cute period of big eyes is coming again.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:10Yeahx1

>>3Recently, it’s not my eyes that are getting bigger, but my breasts…

4: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:09Yeahx5

There are two types of cute…

5: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:09Yeahx21

Trust your own instincts.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:10Yeahx2

Kona-chan!?

7: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:10Yeahx1

I wonder if kids these days would think it’s old…!?
I’m afraid of that.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:11

I still think Kona-chan is cute.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:12

I can totally handle those who were born before me.
I think Sally-chan and Knight of the Ribbon are really cute.
Disney Princesses can also easily fit in.

11: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:12Yeahx13

I think it’s cute, but the art style is a bit old.

12: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:13

I have seen girls who think Sailor Moon and Magic Knight Rayearth are cool.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:14

If things like Anpanman and Conan are still popular, then there must be some universal elements.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:16

I dislike Gen Z otaku who enjoy the slightly older art styles in a way that glorifies Heisei retro and treats it as kitsch, using it as a way to express their own sensitivity in a consumptive, sideways manner.
Take it straight on.

15: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:17

>>14Aren’t you trying to show off how sensitive and large your capacity is?
I’ve never seen that, so I don’t know.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:08Yeahx2

>>14If you genuinely embraced the robot and idol anime of the 1980s, then you can say that.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:17

I heard that Conan’s design has changed slightly over the years.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:17

Lucky Star hasn’t released a new volume in years, right?

22: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:18

>>18It feels like the last volume was released over 10 years ago.
The KanColle cosplay cover was an extra.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:19

Is it almost on indefinite hiatus in a sporadic serialization state?
I don’t buy magazines anymore.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:20

Tsukasa loves you.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:20

Delete the trolls.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:23Yeahx1

I felt a sense of the era with Akiko Ikeda or Haruhi.
I feel that K-On! also had Yukiko Horiguchi’s art going a bit too far.
“Even now, I am moved by the line of the cheeks in Lucky Star, and above all, the design looks great for figures, so even now, the figures are top-tier and do not feel inferior.”

29: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:23

I think Kunetun is cuter without blushing cheeks.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:23

I feel that “Lucky Star” is slightly too new to be considered Heisei retro.
It is said to be something from around before the 2000s.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:24Yeahx1

A few years ago, when I rewatched Lucky Star, I could predict that flip phones would appear.
I really felt the era with the CRT television and desktop.

32: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:26Yeahx1

It seems like using the old primary colors is tough, but this one is completely fine.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:26

Kunutyuu~n

34: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:29

Here we go!

35: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:29Yeahx1

When this moves in the anime, it’s ridiculously cute.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:32

I like it when Tsukasa is tapping on their phone while licking their tongue.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:32

I think the college section is unnecessary.
The series has ended.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:36Yeahx2

A work about a child who abandoned humanity to become a god.

40: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:40Yeahx1

I used to think it was cute, but now that I see it, I can’t really think of anything that isn’t cute.
Isn’t it still cute now?

41: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:43

Okonakona

42: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:45Yeahx1

To be honest, I can’t tell the difference, but this one feels completely outdated, and I think the original image has somehow turned out to look much less old-fashioned.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:50Yeahx6

>>42Everything is cute.

43: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:47

It feels like an old illustration, but it’s still cute.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:47Yeahx7

Old-fashioned and cute can coexist, after all…

45: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:48Yeahx1

Well, there’s no way to verify it on a bulletin board where only old people are present.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:49

It seems interesting to research the lines that feel old to an anonymous person.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:50

Just because it’s not trendy doesn’t mean it’s not cute.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:51

“Rakista in the Reiwa era?!”

56: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:59

>>49I was going to say “Don’t make the same mistake again,” but now that I think about it, there was a character named Rakista on the message board.

50: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:52

I heard a while ago that the series about thirty-something Kona-chan was starting, but what happened to it?

51: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:53Yeahx1

Whether or not you feel a sense of age in music is different from whether it’s a good song…

52: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:55Yeahx1

Maybe Tanaka Masayoshi and Matsuo Yusuke are no longer at the forefront.
I wonder who would be the representative anime or designer of the current trend.

53: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:55

The theme song was covered by JAM Project and uploaded on Nico Nico.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:58

The design trends haven’t changed much whether it’s now or in the past.
There was a time when cat ears were considered old-fashioned, but now it’s all about animal ears due to the influence of mobile games from the continent.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)10:59Yeahx2

Originally, deformed drawings tend to have big eyes.
There isn’t much difference between now and then.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:01

If it’s a theme song MAD, I liked “Take It! Edo’s Fang!” the most.

58: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:02

I love Kono-chan in this picture so much that I can’t help but smile broadly every time I see it.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:03

It was trendy to understand things like balance, shadows, and line processing back then, so that old-fashionedness comes from recognizing the current trends.

60: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:04

I think it’s simply because I’m so used to Haruhi that it feels old.
If you lower the saturation of the anime that’s currently airing and cut it to a 4:3 aspect ratio, it’ll feel just like those late-night shows from the 2000s…

61: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:04Yeahx7

The art style of the anime Haruhi feels a bit outdated.

146: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)12:12Yeahx4

>>61I thought that the art style of Haruhi in the anime felt a bit outdated even in real time.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:05

In the current work, the favorite characters have relatively large eyes.
Fryren and the others are smaller, but…

64: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:05Yeahx2

To put it extremely, even the girls drawn by Osamu Tezuka have very old-style illustrations, but they still look cute.
Saying that an old painting is cute is wrong! It’s being overly critical! I don’t quite understand those who make such accusations…

65: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:05Yeahx1

When I watch Haruhi and K-On now, I feel that the character designs are outdated.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:08Yeahx1

>>65It’s been 20 years, so it’s actually old.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:06

I have a memory that the jacket of some CD for Lucky Star had a good feel to it.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:06

Personally, there is a line of baptism by time that divides whether the Haruhi television series feels old or not between the series and The Disappearance.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:06

In another ten years, Naoyuki Asano may rearrange and reanimate it in a modern style.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:08

Tsukasa has a cuteness that will last for 1,000,000 years.

72: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:08

It’s tough because it’s choppy in the era of 720p anime.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:11Yeahx1

>>72In the 2000s, both the early and late periods had limited physical media that was upscaled to Blu-ray, and it’s tough that 480p has become the norm with subscriptions.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:09

I found out that the person I dislike is the director, and I was feeling down about it, but later I was told by someone anonymous that they were only involved a little at the beginning, and the curse was lifted safely.
Don’t call it a representative work just because I was a little involved, it’s misleading!!!

74: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:10Yeahx7

I thought Clannad was old-fashioned even back then.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:11Yeahx2

>>74Oops, it’s bad talk about Itaru.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:10

In the case of the thread image, I think the oldness is probably due to the color usage, not the drawing style.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:12

The anime version of Haruhi has always had a somewhat old impression to me.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:14

I’m surprised at how old-fashioned the drawings and colors are, like with Munto from Kyoto Animation; I can’t believe this is from the same period as K-On!

89: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:17Yeahx1

>>79I don’t think it’s good to compare 2003 and 2009…
Well, there have been significant turning points in anime and art styles during this time.

80: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:14

Yukiko Horiguchi’s character designs are great, aren’t they…?

87: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:16

>>80When I saw the name in the OP of Bozaro, I felt moved that the animator continued, and I thought the person they brought along was excellent…

81: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:15

If a cute young person who aims to enter the illustration industry had this art style, I would wonder why…

96: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:20Yeahx1

>>81Isn’t it dependent on where you want to excel?

82: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:15Yeahx1

It’s a strange thing, but even the art style from the early 2010s is starting to feel a bit outdated.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:15

The wonderful version of Di Gi Charat is old, but cute.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:22

>>84Cutness isn’t just about the drawing style, huh?

85: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:15

Clannad, or rather Leaf/Key, was considered outdated in terms of art even back then.
It’s often misunderstood, but Tokimeki Memorial too…

86: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:15

Ero H

88: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:16Yeahx1

The coloring looks cheap, or rather, the amount of information in today’s anime is amazing.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:20

>>88Around 2007, a technology that changed the paradigm came out a lot.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:17

Yukiko Horiguchi is really amazing at single illustrations, isn’t she?

91: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:18

The filming process has seriously become luxurious.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:19

>>91Even if the original drawing is terrible, it has become capable of at least ensuring a minimum level of appearance.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:18

Kyoto Animation is known for their crazy levels of detail in works like Violet Evergarden and the Euphonium series…

93: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:18Yeahx3

The reason why it doesn’t look older than K-On might be because the K-On art has been consumed too much.

98: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:21

>>93I’ve seen quite a few people influenced by K-On illustrations.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:24

>>98I was thinking that Ixy has an amazing portrait.

94: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:19

I’m doing it together with Leaf, but even if there are some shortcomings, the art style of Leaf was fashionable by the standards of that time, right?

99: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:21Yeahx1

When an old person paints, it becomes just an old-fashioned picture.
When a young person draws, it can look retro and stylish.

106: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:33

>>99Even if we call it retro style from the 〇〇s, if it’s made for today’s people, it’s not exactly the same and has been modernized.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:22

Kunutyun

102: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:22

The finish and colors can really change the impression a lot.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:23

The style is old-fashioned.

105: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:31

The “K-On” face represents the art style of the 2000s.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:33Yeahx1

Lucky Star is cute, but K-On just looks like a hamster, so it’s really low on the shikority scale.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:37

>>107Actually, I have the impression that there were few illustrations in the lewd category.
I feel like Azunyan and Mio were somewhat there.

113: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:39

>>109That said, if it becomes popular, the erotic content will increase.
About 10% of the total will generally be erotic.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:34

Isn’t it good to have the cute designs from the past in the cute style of today?

110: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:37Yeahx1

I think it’s amazing that Poyoyon Rock and Akio Watanabe have been at the forefront of the cute era all along.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:38

The big-eyed style that was often seen in eroge during the time of Lucky Star is still my trend.
I like the current art style too, but…

112: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:39

I feel like people said that Hayate’s art style was old even back then, but it’s cute, so who cares!!! That’s what I thought.

114: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:40Yeahx1

If it was drawn by Ishikei, it’s definitely certified as lewd.

115: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:41Yeahx2

I don’t think the style is old-fashioned since there are various designs these days.

119: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:44

>>115I think this actually exists.
There’s not much of the “let’s ride the trend” illustration style these days, is there?

125: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:47Yeahx1

>>115It feels outdated like mass-produced art from a decade ago.
As long as there is the author’s individuality, that’s all there is to it.

116: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:42

It seems that kids nowadays do not recognize pixel art as something old.

117: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:43

It’s pretty chill, you know.
If someone tells me this is old, I’ll probably make a pained face.

118: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:43

Otaku Review Image

120: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:46

Izumi Takemoto’s artwork is being accepted.

124: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:47

>>120I think it’s amazing how well they’ve adjusted it with the design.
It has a proper Takemoto style, yet it doesn’t feel old and is cute.

121: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:46Yeahx2

I feel like there is a culture regarding trendy styles, such as popular breast and thigh sizes.

122: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:46

I believe the update of the design basically finished around the year 2000.
Since then, I feel like it’s really just a difference in direction about what to reference afterwards.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:46

I mean, it’s only the old guys who care about being old-fashioned or trendy…

126: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:50

Even the hairstyle air intakes are showing signs of revival recently.

132: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:56

>>126You don’t often see those large air intakes from the past anymore.
You’ve started to see hairstyles that feel like the genes of air intake, haven’t you?

127: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:51

I sometimes get off to Di Gi Charat, so I understand how you feel.

128: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:53

There may not be a trendy style, but there are those stylish and somewhat edgy designs that are well-received on social media.

129: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:53

When I see someone certifying something old with a single element, I feel a bit frustrated.

130: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:55

Was Nagato always this well-endowed…?

133: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:56

>>130It’s emphasized by the pose.
Well, if it’s this kind of illustration, I might embellish it a little.

138: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)12:01

>>133I lightly Googled it, but it looks like the pin-up is indeed enhanced…
In the Endless Eight swimwear, it sadly appears as if there is no chest.

134: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:57

Nagato has an image that fits in the palm of your hand.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:58

What specific symbols can be called the art style of the past?

136: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)11:59

>>135Isn’t it the eyes and the painting that are easy to understand?
The way to draw eyes is clear and distinct.

137: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)12:00

I think it’s amazing that Takeuchi’s illustrations for Fate have been accepted for 20 years.
Even considering the improvement in the person’s drawing skills, the style itself hasn’t changed that much.

140: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)12:01

>>137If you continue, it will become the taste of a long-established shop…

139: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)12:01

Next season, there will be anime with this kind of art style, and there may also be a resurgence of 90s art styles to some extent.
Next season, there will be anime with this kind of art style, and there may also be a resurgence of ...

142: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)12:03

>>139Seriously, is it going to be next season’s work?
I thought so, but it does include details that wouldn’t have been depicted in the past…

141: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)12:02Yeahx1

Being cute has nothing to do with the era…

143: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)12:05Yeahx1

Instead of being outdated, it has become a style from the ’80s, and as a result, there isn’t really anything that stands out now. I feel like when I look back later, I might not be able to identify the colors of this era.

144: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)12:06

I jerked off to Tsukasa yesterday!

145: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)12:10

Now Tsukasa has become a god too…

147: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)12:14

The production company is still a bit inexperienced with digital work, so the coloring is a bit heavy.

148: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)12:15

Miyuki is always sexy.

149: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)12:17Yeahx1

Miyuki…?

150: Japan Otaku Reviews25/05/27(Tue)12:18

Misaki?
