Hey guys, it’s time for some hilarious screencaps from yet another quality production from our good friends at TMA! In case you haven’t heard of them before, TMA<\/a> is a company that likes to create live-action AV based on popular anime titles, such as Suzumiya “Hahiru”<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Kira<\/p>\n

Their latest work is Kira Star<\/strong>\u00e3\u20ac\u20ac\u00ef\u00bc\u02c6\u00e3\u0081\u008d\u00e3\u201a\u2030\u00e2\u02dc\u2020\u00e3\u0081\u2122\u00e3\u0081\u0178), an oh-so-clever word play on Lucky Star<\/a><\/strong> (\u00e3\u201a\u2030\u00e3\u0081\u008d\u00e2\u02dc\u2020\u00e3\u0081\u2122\u00e3\u0081\u0178). The fun thing about TMA releases is that they like to reenact scenes from the original, often inducing a great deal of unintended hilarity.<\/p>\n

Now obviously no self-respecting (lol, I kid) AV actress would star in such a production, so don’t expect too much. (Or rather, don’t expect anything at all. Please.)<\/p>\n

Obliterating your source of mo\u00c3\u00a9 in 3…2…1…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It begins.<\/p>\n

\"Kira
\nFUNGA~~!<\/p>\n

\"Kira
\nThe new Super Sentai<\/p>\n

\"Kira
\nKagamin?<\/p>\n

\"Kira
\nTsukasa?<\/p>\n

\"Kira
\nWho? \u00ef\u00bc\u00bf|\u00ef\u00bf\u00a3|O<\/p>\n

\"Kira
\nLucky<\/span> Kira Star!<\/p>\n

\"Kira
\nAwesome blue screen effects<\/p>\n

\"Kira
\nWhy can’t they just, you know, find a real shrine to film on-location?<\/p>\n

\"Kira
\nIt’s the 1990s all over again<\/p>\n

\"Kira
\nThe reflections are all wrong<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Kira
\n3-nen B-gumi? Kuroi-sensei!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Kira
\nWho killed Akira-sama and replaced her with this?<\/p>\n

\"Kira
\nThis shot takes on a whole new meaning…<\/p>\n

\"Kira
\nBTW chocolate coronets suck<\/p>\n

\"Kira
\nThis is what playing too much MMORPG does to you!<\/p>\n

\"Kira
\n“How did I end up in this sad mess?”<\/p>\n

\"Kira
\nDiscussion over the consumption of vaguely phallic object<\/p>\n

\"Kira
\nA seashell. Supposedly.<\/p>\n

\"Kira
\n…<\/p>\n

At this point, we are just 7 minutes into the video. I am bored. This sad excuse for a parody makes me want to claw my eyes out and stuff them into my ears.<\/p>\n

I glance at the timer on Media Player Classic and suddenly it hits me…<\/p>\n

\"Kira
\nWTF!?<\/p>\n

Three hours!?<\/strong> This is madness! (And not Sparta.) I promptly decide to finish up with the remaining screenshots by skipping through the video so that I may be spared from having to actually sit through the uninspired monotonous droning that will forever haunt my enjoyment of Lucky Star.<\/p>\n

\"Kira
\nShiraishi looks 100% like his animated self<\/p>\n

\"Kira
\nThere are no train stations near TMA’s studio either<\/p>\n

\"Kira
\nI’m pretty sure TMA made a Marimite<\/a> AV once…<\/p>\n

\"Kira
\nLady, you have a piece of paper stuck to your face<\/p>\n

\"Kira
\n“Thiiiiiiiis big”<\/p>\n

\"Kira
\nI’m hungry<\/p>\n

\"Kira
\nWhat’s in the bag? Hint: It ain’t candies!<\/p>\n

\"Kira
\n*shudders* kowai yo!<\/em> T_T<\/p>\n

\"Kira
\nWait I forgot. Is this supposed to be Konata?<\/p>\n

\"Kira
\nThis does not work on so many levels<\/p>\n

\"Kira
\nI wonder if the mole is real<\/p>\n

This is now about 1 hour into the video. The “parody” segment ends here. I leave it to you to imagine what the remaining 2 hours are about. There’s also some behind-the-scenes footage right at the end.<\/p>\n

\"Kira
\nOh hey, it’s Kyon-kun<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Final verdict<\/strong>: Suzumiya Hahiru<\/a> was about twenty times more entertaining and only half as wince-inducing. A much better deal I’d say. If you’re still interested in checking out Kira Star for yourself (and risk permanent psychological trauma), a 1.8 GB torrent<\/a> is available. You have been warned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
