h2. About
Motteke! Sailor Fuku (もってけ！セーラーふく) is the opening of the TV anime <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucky_Star_%28manga%29">Lucky Star</a> (らき☆すた) which aired on April 2007. The show is a slice of life comedy based on a four panel comic series of the same name. It was produced by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyoto_Animation">Kyoto Animation</a> studio, the same company that produced <a href="http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/the-melancholy-of-haruhi-suzumiya">_The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya_</a>.
Lucky Star's rise to popularity is very similar to how its predecessor rose to fame. Both anime were done by the same studio, both anime produced popular dance fads, and the main characters of both series (Konata and Haruhi) shared the same voice actress, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aya_hirano">Aya Hirano</a>.
The story of Lucky Star is about a young high school girl named Konata who is an otaku. The show revolves around the daily life of Konata and her friends. It is also popular for giving insight into otaku culture along with giving numerous nods and references to other anime series like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initial_D">Initial D</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_Geass">Code Geass</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_Metal_Panic">Full Metal Panic</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keroro_Gunsou">Keroro Gunsou</a>, and of course _The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya_.
