Grumble Grumble Grumble

I just received my copy in the mail yesterday. And in the voice actresses of 'Lucky Star' interview, on page 142 there's a sentence that reads...
The show, now in its second season, is more popular then ever.
Can anyone confirm, Is there a second season of 'Lucky Star'!!!

A season in Japan is usually 13 weeks, so it's not entirely false to say Lucky Star ran two seasons.

Yesterday (Monday, Oct. 8) was a federal holiday (Columbus Day observed), so there should not have been any mail delivery except for express or other special delivery mail.

I am still sorting through the stuff I brought back from Japan, so I thought I'd add a few quick pics of NewType Japan's October Edition:

The cover is Ayanami Rei from Evangelion (which is also the lead article), to tie in with the latest movie stuff: http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/600/newtype200710coverrh7.jpg

The mag came with a bonus Eva bag packed in:

There were also some bonus Lucky Star stickers, and these things as the centrefold...

Reverse: http://img103.imageshack.us/img103/5420/newtype200710lsjpiq2.gif

They're kinda odd - like English language flashcards for Japanese otaku :sd: Maybe they could do the same for Moetan, except I don't think it's going to be as big as Lucky Star.

Some of that Engrish HAS to be deliberate. I mean, I know what they *meant* to say but...*shrieks with laughter*

KadoUSA has used some rather dodgy English in their promotional material before, so this probably comes from them.
