Back in March Perezstart brought to you the amazing news of a Lucky Star card being available through Japanese credit card issuer Orient Corporation. Finally we have the first image available of the card and it is the star of the show, Konata! The card is registered with a “mobile phone wallet” for those otakus who may be too embarrassed to show it around town. How can that be embarrassing in the land where people dress up in Gothic Lolita on just any given Sunday?  Send it over to America, it will go just fine with my Hello Kitty and Precious Moments themed debit cards. Why would you want this card? Well the more you spend  with it, the more points you get that can be exchanged for special goods! Sugoi!

Japanese credit card issuer Orient Corporation, or Orico, has posted a web page that indicates that Lucky Star Credit cards are on their way very soon! They are said to be accepting applications from eager Lucky Star fans this coming May along with Astro Boy, Gundam and Macross. Astro boy really , how about an anime  that is not from the 60’s, something a little more popular like Death Note or The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya? Well, let’s hope and pray that America will be getting these cards soon, I mean I am already sporting my Bank Of America Hello Kitty and Precious Moments credit card. Perhaps the U.S. will wise up already and make us otakus happy, perhaps starting with actual anime channels, that play anime all day not like after 2 am! That would be nice!
