Looks like many of you have already seen this but will hijack it from gordon anyway. Check out the awesome fanmade (?) SOS dan doing the Lucky Star jiggle below.

Original text from Gordon below.

Few months ago in Feb, I posted a non-completed fan-made youtube video of the SOS-dan gang dancing to the OP of Lucky Star here. (Thanks again Danny for featuring it ^^;)

I'm happy to announce that today the animator has finally completed the full version which you may view it below. Awesome piece of work. Cookies for him. ^^;

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

    Thats ace! Its surprising how well made the characters are for a fan thing. For 3d models, they look a lot like the 2d ones. Its the slightly robotic animation in places that gives it away for me.

    Superb work anyway - celshaders for the win!

    Amazing great work! Especially the camera movement and transitions, and it is also creative in some ways(I like the ending part, the best!).

    Is the polygon design based on the Fantasy RPG Hare Hare Yukai that was released for the promotion of Suzumiya Haruhi no Tomadoi in PS2? (please correct some of my info if i'm wrong, thanks)
