I would so very much like to say that those are the most disturbing Lucky Star themed item I've seen, but unfortunately, thanks the horrors of internets, that would be a lie Anime dazed.

For guys who can't get it with a girl 2D or otherwise, they can now imagine it with these undergarments. Laughing

Yes these are exceptionally disturbing, but belive me, I've seen much worse. A couple of months ago, a Japanese company made a condom with a anime moe character. If that isn't creepy, I don't know what the hell is.

But seriously, I can only think of two groups that would actually buy this. The first one is obvious, but the second group is the group that thinks Konata is actually their wife.

I wish I were, but I am not joking. There is actually people who think Konata is their wife.

Well, that's not surprising, considering how in Kyoto you can get tokens or charms or fortunes or whatever they are that say "Konata is my wife."

I'd totally buy a pair just to say HAHA I BOUGHT THEM SEE, but I'd never wear 'em. Maybe frame 'em. Or just give them to an otaku buddy and try to forget them.

Yay! Running around the road wearing the boxer shorts only with Konata's face, screaming "Konata is my wife!"

If I'm to judge Japanese culture through anime, these things are going to sell like hotcakes, given white is just too common.
Razz

One of these days, I'll actually read up on this series. I see it everywhere.

Oh man, there are way too many jokes floating around in my head. I have an advertising slogan for them though, "Get lucky with a pair of Lucky Star underwear on." I know we are culturally different in America, but is wearing something like this really socially acceptable? Where does it end Eva tampons, FMA sanitized pads, gurren lagan condoms... Oh man I would totally buy those. THE DRILL THAT WILL PEIRCE THE HEAVENS!


I don't think too many girls would like to have giant robots stuck into their love tunnels...oh wait a minute...! Laughing

Creepiness is all relative.
For instance, they could have printed her face on the interior.

Paraphrasing Mio from another, more recent KyoAni series...

*curled up in a corner, hands over ears, shuddering*
"I'm not hearing this, I'm not hearing this, I'm not hearing this!"

I, for one, am more than a little creeped out. Now I'll never be able to see/hear the famous Lucky Star teaser trailer (where Aya Hirano purrs like a cat for 30 seconds straight, with the iconic Konata face...now prominently featured on those boxers!) the same way again!

Yeah, they'll sell great in Japan...but...still... Shocked

What? They don't have one with a cornet?

These must be going out to the same crowd that shelled out a little extra for a T shirt that had a dress on it.
