Final Fantasy VI x Lucky Star = WTF?

6:06 PM on 10.09.2007, Dale North 39 comments

     Final Fantasy

For those here not as hip as these kids, you'll just have to take our word that the anime Lucky Star is huge in Japan. The show about four high school girls that do nothing in particular is strangely addicting, and the show's opening theme song, "Motteke! Serafuku", topped the Japanese sales charts when it was finally released on CD. The animated dance featured in the show's opening is still being performed in the streets and at conventions, and fan videos continue to pour out of Japan.

The Japanese love to mash up popular things in their fan videos, but rarely do you see done as well (or strangely) as you do here. They've taken the worlds of Final Fantasy VI and Lucky Star and combined them in such a way that you'll be confused and impressed at the same time. Seriously, this video is jam-packed with Japanese WTF action.

For those not familiar with Lucky Star, hit the jump to see/hear the original song.

This is freakin' sweet. Especially since they actually mixed in musical motifs from FF VI. Also I have no idea what that show is, nor do I care. This is still cool.

How can people stand for this goddamed fucking bullshit!? It's insulting to the intelligence of any normal person... And to mix FFVI with it... Is just sickening.

Geez, this is nuts. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if they threw some stupid dance in Clannad that catches on.

Old shite is old. Just no one pays attention to me. I think I blogged this 2 months ago, but I can't seem to go back to them anymore.

Still WTF.

The original makes my ears bleed.

But the Final Fantasy mix is more tolerable, mainly due to the interesting chord progressions around the later part.

Annoying Japanese girls are annoying.

Erm, no offense Dale, but wouldn't it have been a good idea to point out that Lucky Star's main character is a huge video game geek? It would've made this seem more relevant. ;)

Brilliant edit, I have to admit. Final Fantasy gets a sugar rush.
