Lucky Star: Drills Are The Aspiration of the Male Saga

[ChidoriPWN3R]

Obviously , some people haven't seen enough anime . So I won't be suprised they dont know about Getter Robo

[JasperCorp]

I used to think this was a reference to Gurren lagann

then i watched Armageddon.

and trust me, GRA was better than TTGL

[ihavesparta]

konata=the best

[dejikokijed]

I can't stop laughing every time I watch this. The sole image of the spaceship on the background makes the scene COMPLETE.

This scene is Legendary.

[EragonFiresword]

Well, you know what they say! When all you've got is a drill... al you can do is SCREW! Hohoho

[sasukexx]

CHAAAAAAAAAAANGE GETTAAAAA ONE!!!

[blacksage]

TTGL and Lucky Star both went from April to September of '07. Animation is not so easy to allow a reference in that time frame.

Instead both series are referencing the preexisting one.

[jeans01101]

What is this "getter" thing?

[tardigrade11]

@jeans01101 Tell me u r joking. Please. Getter Robo.  If u r familiar with TTGL then you should know that Getter Robo, especially New Getter Robo was an enormous influence on TTGL.

[jeans01101]

@tardigrade11 Nope. Sorry. It doesn't ring any bells.

[tardigrade11]

@jeans01101 Ok, but check it out when you get the chance.

[jeans01101]

@tardigrade11 OK

[berserkberserker]

Lol the random spaceship at the end.

[LucarioFan274]

@berserkberserker It's a reference to the OVA "Aim for the Top!! Gunbuster"

Take a peek at the OP and you'll see the likeness.

[domizzl]

1:42 is awesome

[Grandstra]

Dentist: "Don't worry, it won't hurt".

Yuki: "Oh... OK".

Dentist: "DRILL HURRICAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANE!"

Yuki: "KYAAAAGAGAGRRL!"

[ReiGun91]

Did they reference Gunbuster at the end?

[JustGuess500]

@ReiGun91 Yes

[geshupenst85]

@ReiGun91 it kinda looked like excelion to me.

[ShinigamiTrainXIII]

Imagine Shin Getter-2 As ur dentist.

Hayato: This won't hurt one bit

Patient: Ok...

Hayato: GETTER DRILL!

Patient: AAAAAAGGHHHDJKKHFJGH

[pingpongsamuraipanda]

i don't even watch lucky star but this was win, i love getter robo. Shin Getter 2 happens to be my favorite mech

i'd take drill missile and getter vision over giga drill breaker anyday

[AgitoTwinks]

It's funny cause Casualfags never heard of GETTA here in America.

[w4rr10r11]

CHANGE! GETTER!

[Megafukc]

KyoAni confirmed for bro.

[10MarioBrosmaster]

i always thought it was gurren lagann she was referencing

but now i know its obviously hayato's getter 2 she was talking about

[Sniperking278]

Gurren LAGGAN IS THE anime she is talking about

[miguelsalcedomero]

@Sniperking278

> Change getter

> Mentions about the dinosaur empire

yeahh....no

[10MarioBrosmaster]

@Sniperking278 AHAHAHAH

go watch getter robo before saying stuff like that

[Fieryone233]

@Sniperking278 No, it's not the FUCKING ANIME SHE IS TALKING ABOUT, SHE EVEN SAYS THE ONE THE IMAGE REFERENCES YOU DENSE MOTHER FUCKER, GOD DAMN. IT'S GOD DAMN GETTER-2 OF GETTER ROBO. HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU BE SO FUCKING STUPID?!

[ZeonGundam]

Getter lol

[thegambitking]

@Lazyboy0337 According to myanimelist . net, Gurren Lagaan started airing April 1, and Lucky Star didn't start airing until 8 days later, on April 9... but they were close! It's funny, because I'd always assumed that Gurren Lagaan was a lot older!

[Lazyboy0337]

It's funny. Lucky Star was made before TTGL, yet this fits TTGL perfectly.

[Fieryone233]

@Lazyboy0337 But it doesn't because it's not even FUCKING REFERENCING that show.

[tardigrade11]

@Lazyboy0337 Getter Robo

[irrespondible]

3 things to ask:

Where did Konata came from?

If she goes to a real dentist, would be disappointed?

Would she build a dentist robot to fight evil?

thumbs up if you think my brain's not working properly.

[pizzavortex3000]

The translation is aspiration of the male saga but konata says だってドリルは男のロマンって言うじゃ。 i.e. Drills are a man's romance. Isn't that a bit weird. I don't know...

[LionelMessi1337]

Lmao "Gurren Lagann reference"

TTGL fans are stupid beyond belief

[lov3tac0]

@LionelMessi1337 Its not TTGL fans that are stupid, its just people that haven't watched enough anime to realize TTGL isn't the only drill mecha.

[FlamingUnicornFtw]

@lov3tac0 Yeah but getter robo wasnt too popular from what i saw

[Getterzinger]

@FlamingUnicornFtw >wasn't too popular

then your precious ttgl wouldn't have been inspired by it if that was the case.

[FlamingUnicornFtw]

@Getterzinger im talking about right now

[Getterzinger]

@FlamingUnicornFtw But you said" wasn't popular", and not "isn't popular". The only reason Getter Robo declined in popularity is because of no new Getter Robo anime since the 2004 ova, and the creator (Ken Ishikawa) died in 2006 and leaving the getter robo arc he was working on unfinished.

[MisterHeroman]

How... how can anyone think this has anything to do with Gurren Lagann? It talks about the dinosaur empire and Getter 2 and "CHANGE!" right in the subtitles, and they don't look remotely like GL. The ending is based off of Gunbuster's opening too, hwo can someone think that it relates to GL ships?

I mean it's okay if someone hasn't seen them, but drills do not make a gurren lagann reference. Damn, yo.

[TheFlamingDoh2]

Konata's dad looks kinda like Kamina... I just noticed that.

[DiegoXLuigi]

Assistant:Anesthesia Time!

Patient:Well i just beat my fear against needles...

Assistant: 1:45

Patient:LET ME GET OUT OF HERE PLEASE

[spartan1010101]

lol she is totally thinking of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and their giant drills =w= ahhh it brings GAR to a whole new level

[FlamingUnicornFtw]

@spartan1010101 no shes referencing getter robo.

[spartan1010101]

@FlamingUnicornFtw idk what that is, but she SHOULD have been referencing to Tengen Toppa >:|

[FlamingUnicornFtw]

@spartan1010101 its a show from the 90's. I can tell because at 1:05, if you pause she says change getter, and at 1:14 she says dinosaur empire, which is the main enemy in the series

[spartan1010101]

@FlamingUnicornFtw she still should have been referencing Tengen Toppa...

[FlamingUnicornFtw]

@spartan1010101 i know right, plus they both aired in japan at the same time

[Van0079]

@spartan1010101 TTGL isn't even as great of a show everyone makes it out to be. It's a good show, no doubt, but it's not THE BEST. It's what I'd expect out of an over-the-top super robot show, and it pulls that off damn well. However, it's still not as great as everyone praises it to be.

[spartan1010101]

@Van0079 I think it's the best at making something unnecessarily awesome and epic and it's true to a lot of people. Garness ftw :P

[Fieryone233]

@spartan1010101 No, no she shouldn't have.

[10MarioBrosmaster]

@FlamingUnicornFtw its not from the 90's

74 brah

shin getter was in the 90's

[Fieryone233]

@FlamingUnicornFtw Getter Robo was made in the 70s, the 90's was Getter Robo Go and the Superior OVA Getter Robo Armageddon.

[gamester717]

I like the Gunbuster reference around 1:41 Well I'm sure that's a Gunbuster reference my heads all over the shop atm.

[Rodimus1138]

I want to kill everyone who thinks this is a TTGL reference. I mean IT FUCKING SAYS CHANGE GETTER

[LeoBlaze65]

1:47 give that girl long red hair and replace that needle with a rifle and you're ready to go!

[DaGavinX]

this exactly how my mind works. xD

[WorldWalker128]

cute assistant or not, you're not getting that over-sized syringe anywhere near me.

[vivhero]

XD Robo Getter! Nothing beats Drills!

[papasmerf122]

I wish I could strangle all of those uneducated peasants who think this is a TTGL reference.

[WorldWalker128]

@papasmerf122

well then, Mr. Noble, bring it on. This 'Peasant' will hit you with a Giga Drill Breaker!

[EpilepticDiarrheaV2]

@WorldWalker128 I want to take my foreskin, wrap it around your neck, and strangle you with it.

[Fieryone233]

@papasmerf122 Can I join you?

[ClangerSchmoo]

Everyone in this comment is faggots.

[MCSAbigail]

@ClangerSchmoo Seconding this.

[ItachimaruDestiny]

To everyone who said this is a reference to Gurren Lagann, You're mistaken. But its okay not everyone knows about Getter Robo except for mecha fans. Getter Robo is a 70s anime where it had 3 forms the 2nd form called Getter 2 would use Drills which is what Konata is referring to in this clip.

[SonicTrooper22]

@ItachimaruDestiny Your argument is better than other that I read before

[AndrewGurn]

Youtube

/m/ is disappoint

[skiboydoggy]

CHANGE GETTER 2

[MiloSocho]

Looking all those Gurren Lagann comments:

Newfags alert, a lot of them!

[silenthilllfan]

i should go to a dentist more often...............(Dentist)w­ho the hell do you think i am!

Cavity:a Dentist?

Dentist:yeah !!!!..................your the first one to answer that?

[silenthilllfan]

Gurren Lagann !

[RobloxMario]

They must have the manliest dentists ever: Getter Robo and Gurren Lagann.

[Nix91]

People, Getter-2 invented the robot-with-drill thing, ok? Gurren Lagann really cranked the thing (to an utterly awesome level) but they dint invent it.

[MaxonTreik]

Lucky Star aired in the same season as TTGL. IT IS NOT A TTGL REFERENCE.

[XPISigma]

@MaxonTreik Doesn't mean anything.

[MaxonTreik]

@XPISigma Yes it does.

[LEW2X]

Even though I can't stand Lucky Star, I CAN stand CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAANGE GETTER 2! GETTER DRILL!

[1ockedand1oaded]

as soon as the piano music starts you know it's going to be all ideal conversation.

but then 1:42 BAM! pure win hits you square in the face!

[1ockedand1oaded]

but then 1:42 BAM! pure win hits you square in the face!

[Usorth]

1:42 That's Gunbuster theme song!

[SonicTrooper22]

My drill is gonna pierce your teeth

[abridgeduploader]

Don't believe in yourself!

Believe in me! Believe in the dentist who believes in you!

[Getterzinger]

@abridgeduploader Dinosaurs Empire is from Getter Robo, not Gurren Lagann.

[redeyedtiger]

Dentist: MY DRILL IS THE DRILL THAT WILL PIERCE YOUR CAVITY!!!!!!!!!

Patient: WHAT THE FUCK!?

Dentist: GIIGGAAAAA DRRRIIILLLLL BREEEAAAKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!

Patient: !?!?!?!?!?!?

Universe: BOOOMMMM!!!

[Getterzinger]

@redeyedtiger goddamnit, gurren lagann fans are retarded. this is a getter robo reference you idiots.

[redeyedtiger]

@Getterzinger I already knew that. Sure that's what they're mainly referencing but they're also referencing a lot of other anime. Soooooo...............that was useless of you :)

[Getterzinger]

@redeyedtiger Gunbuster. no gurren lagann reference here.

[XPISigma]

@Getterzinger I thought it was from Getter?

[Getterzinger]

@XPISigma Both. One Getter Robo reference and towards the end, the music is a reference to Gunbuster. Just go listen to the opening.

[XPISigma]

@Getterzinger Fanboy alert. Who cares.

[Liquiden]

and dont forget big daddy from bioshock

[cheybirdie101]

I love Konata XD!

[DestinyHeroR]

GATTAI DA!!!!!

CHOU-TENGEN TOPPA DENTIST LAGANN!!!

[Rodimus1138]

@Getterzinger couldn't have said it better myself

[IshidaTheQuincy]

The warship at the end looks a hell lot like the Chouginga Dai-Gurren/Cathedral Terra.

[BLMNDEF]

Robot Equipped with Drills = Crash Man

[cogi276]

lol that was super galaxy gurren lagann in ship form lol love that. Kamina forever

[Glopnotishboober]

Change! Getter 1!

[destinyislandgirl]

in the english dub they make that sound so much dirtier, lol

"Dont you think a drill is like a guys... DINOSAUR EMPIRE" , lol

[OmegaChosen0]

GATTAI DA!

robot series that started the drill saga:

Mazinger Z(drill missile)

Getter robo

Steel jeeg

GaoGaiGar

and now

Gurren Lagnn

[MisterGamer43]

I have been outwitted! I was moved to laughter by Lucky Star! I fail at being GAR and rejecting Moe! -Seppuku-

[grwnnsexy08]

Gurren Lagann for the f*ckin' win

[DVAcme]

The two references: Getter Robo(what with the "Change Getter!" and "Dinasour Empire!" thing) and Gunbuster(the musical sting, the nurse does Noriko's pose from the end of Gunbuster's op, and the shot of her and the dentist in front of a ship is also part of the op's end). I laughed my balls off when I saw that, since Getter Robo and Gunbuster are actually my favorite anime :-)

[FFKonoko]

Its a Getter reference and I'm pretty sure even the TTGL fans know that. But TTGL is still drilltastic and thus perfect for quoting.

[Fluid4]

Excellent cover/parody of the Gunbuster theme at the end as well.

[LeonGundam]

i hate this show, it kills more brain cells than cigerets but it's twice as addicting. ;p

[newsearching]

You could also call Lucky Star a gateway anime to other "slice of life comedy" anime like this. You just can't get enough.

[pl0x321]

Lol who the hell they think dentist are?

[RastiMinato]

Row Row fight da powah!!!

[ZeroStormrageBX]

Simon... Don't believe in yourself. Believe in me! believe in the Kamina that believes in you! YOUR DRILL IS THE DRILL THAT WILL BREECH THE CAVITY WALLS! AND BEYOND!!

[DarkByukuganX]

"Digging a hole to pierce the heavens.

Even in a grave, I can still dig on. And if I can break through, it's my victory."

[StUpIdxSaDiStIc]

gurren lagann ftw

[Jharkendar]

eh this is so random

[boots1622fan]

lol that's like that video game i played a long time ago

[lifeofthe6]

0:32. ...Wait a second, where did she come from?

[sandydeath56]

She's obviously a ninja.

[PixelEater64]

It sure is quite appealing for guys.

[kaioraven]

CHANGE GETTER!

DINOSAUR EMPIRE!

And it fucking shows a dentist version of Getter 2.

TTGL fans are morons.

[CyborgSamurai]

Oh grandpa, go watch some Mazinger Z and take a nap, okay? People are enjoying themselves on the internet.

[kaioraven]

Go sit on a Giga Drill Breaker with your boring ass shit glassesfest.

[CyborgSamurai]

Instead of arguing, why don't we gang up on the idiot who made the Bioshock comment? And anyways, I prefer all super robot shows. TTGL is just so silly that everyone can enjoy it, for better or worse.

[xjcksn]

LOL

[TheTasuneImputator]

LAWL! i love Konata XD she's amazing~ :3

[iloverenee93]

lolz...drillz..bioshock...dela­ying bioshock...

I WANT MY BIG DADDY T^T

*cries in corner*

wahhhhh!!!

''''D'X

[yohannbiimu]

Yup, I was right.  Go to "Gunbuster Opening" on youtube, and forward towards the end of it, and you will basically see what I mean.

[yohannbiimu]

1:41 - This is basically ripped off of the opening for "Toppu wo Nerae! Gunbuster," an early Gainax OVA series from the 1980's. I think there's there's an example of it somewhere on youtube...

[rotomRASENGAN]

1:46 Jugs!

[loverinthesky]

That is GODLY. XD

[Battleoner]

Charge Getter!

[thickterranarmor]

what is this I don't even

[jpopprincess101]

Konata's otaku mind. xD

[magpiefabric]

proof that everything can be significantly improved with the addition of giga drill breaker.

[kamikazeslammer]

I've never seen getter robo but this also reminded me of Gunbuster. The ship looked like the excellion, the girl looked like Noriko and the music seemed to match. Then again, all 80s mecha animes could be similar, I just haven't seen many of them.

[scriblies]

last time i went to the dentist i was like, 5

[mechasaurus3333]

Cool, i like the getter robo and gunbuster reference :>

Though it has nothing to do with TTGL folks

[Niiko117]

Lol i like that one moment at 1:06, thats what i imagin a dentist dril to look like... im kinda scared now...

[zombieman000]

Thats a BIG NEDDLE and i mean BIG wonder if it hurts more?

[Luisiroth]

Row, Row, Fight the Lucky!!!! XD

[BingBangPoe]

Lucky Star is freaking awesome! XD

I love te Street Fighter parody, also... XP

[SkydanceShinigami]

Konota is so freaking adorable. :D

[takikinomi1995]

lol I've seen this ep

[michaelll161718]

sexy witches? dude u have no life its an animation why r those the 2 main things of anime? fighting and porn

[TOLLMASTER]

Where I come from (the streets), where the only difference between life and death is a bullet in the head, sexy witches means brotherhood.

[dannyrox]

Where I am from(the streets), where the only difference between life and death is sexy witches, a bullet in the head means brotherhood.

[killwize]

I want a big drill!

[MoritaMasami]

1:16 - 1:20 Konata's excited voice makes me want to play that part again and again and again...

[MoritaMasami]

I think I'll not be afraid of dentists from now on...

[darksword101]

Hayato will be your dentist from now on little girls

[AcolyteOfDeath]

You know, I might actually want to watch that drill dentist battleship magical girl dental hygienist show...

[ShadyKitsune19]

I'd want to see atleast a pilot episode of that show! XD

[maygirl]

I'll keep that quote in mind while on my visit to the dentist.

"Changeu getta..."

[Baphomet3010]

HAHAHA!

lol

[VNPFlyGirl]

L-O-L

[daphscat]

holy shit change getter thats awesome

[fearisgood1122]

lol hahaha she likes anime and she in one.

[MisticRelmStudios]

Hell yeah! I love the dentist!

[evagenesis]

it wouldnt be a gurren lagann parody.

gurren lagann wasent even created yet, so it can be a parody of it. If u stop the video, the mecha resembels Getter 2 from the original Getter robo series.

[admkanne]

now i might just be stupid but did'nt gurren lagann come out during or after lucky star?

[jackrom75]

Way after Lucky☆star.

[djalmabereta]

If yes, they see the future!

If no, they see the past!

ahhahahahaha

[AliveStorm93]

Irrelevant, that doesn't change what the joke actually was. It's a Getter reference and the TTGL fans are blind if they can't understand that.

Then again, it's understandable given how much their beloved series took from Getter Robo in the first place.

[ShiniYokai]

There's also a gunbuster reference at the end, which is indirectly connect to TTGL, seeing as it's the same studio.

[SSJ3raditz]

CHANGEU GETTA

[TheWanderingMind]

Gunbuster for the win.

[Fiddlesticks411]

In my country, we go about every 6 months. and I'm terrified of them -_-

[lilpuccafanatic]

lol....

i wonder...is this true?!

XD

ill ask a guy this someday...lol

i would send this vid as proof

[justavoid]

getter robo or gunbuster. :/

too bad it isn't a gurren lagann parody there. ahha
