Unboxing [US]: Good Luck Girl! - Complete Series: Limited Edition USA (BD/DVD)

In this latest unboxing post, I take a look at a show so filled with parodies and references that makes me laugh each time.

Good Luck Girl! is the Funimation translation to Binbogami-Ga! a show where two girls battle each other in many crazy ways possible. This show may act like a simple 'for teen' comedy but there are a lot of strong mature humour and scenes but don't take it seriously, this series is random. The version that I have picked up is a Limited Edition artbox set with two slim Blu-ray cases. The standard and limited edition have the same on-disc content so whatever version you pick, it doesn't matter much unless you're a collector. The subtitles are locked however but the dub has sign translations & lyrics while the original language has all of them.

Plot:

Ichiko gets lucky a lot. She’s rich, beautiful, smart, stacked, and better than you at everything. There’s a reason life always goes her way. She unwittingly steals happiness energy from everyone else! Momiji—a poverty god with a freakishly huge syringe and a bunch of oddball charms—has to take Ichiko’s extra good fortune and return it to her various victims of circumstance. Like an Adderall-raddled cat-and-mouse chase in a funhouse full of pop culture references, the spirit of shortcomings and her self-absorbed subject stick each other with jabs, gags, bizarre bets, and dirty tricks aplenty. It’s a side-splitting ride, and everyone’s seatbelt is defective. But how many blows to the ego can Ichiko take before she grows a sympathy gland and stops hogging all the happiness?
