In my time watching anime, I have not watched any (so far) quite like Lucky Star. It's simple yet amusing approach to comedy is very addicting, and it covers a large range of topics. Basically it focuses on the life of average japanese high-school girls. After that, hilarity ensues.

From the beginning I wasn't too interested in it, I thought it was dull and boring. But I gave it a chance. And I'm pretty effing happy I gave it that chance, becase I found myself short of breath from laughing. There are so many referances to anime and manga, mostly, but it also parodies things that relate to everyone in everyday life.

As for the direction and art style, it fits perfectly with the storie's premise. Cute and sometimes wacky *I can't beleive I just said "wacky"* the expressions on the characters faces are priceless, and are sometimes better than the reason the made those expressions. Without giving too much away, I will say that when the art style gets "serious", it's often the funniest part of the show.

The music is slightly Animal Crossing-esq, with a casual yet appealing sound, that really sets the mood. The voices (In the japanese VO) are very well done, matching each character almost perfectly. As for the characters themselves, they are the best part of Lucky Star! Each character has their own personality, and each one is drawn out to a stereotypical point. For example: Kagami is one of the main characters, and is often ill-temperd and down to earth, so it shows on her very often, to the dismay of Konata especially.

I loved this anime, and the only thing that can match the overall enjoyment of this in my opinion is Cowboy Bebop. It's a very different anime from what I'm used to, i.e; Dragonball, Hunter X Hunter, ect., but it's different in an amazing way. read more
