Obviously, as a fan of the original series, i was looking forward to seeing our beloved characters in a feature length title. To an extent, this OVA delivered as well... The art, sound, and character interactions were on par with the main show. Particularly at the start, i was able to enjoy once again the comedic, casual, SoL genius that i remember a while back.
My favorite part has got to be the game visualizations, it really was an awesome idea to factor these in. The overall inclusion of gaming culture really blended in well with the characters, and in my mind exposed a common, yet often untold plight in real life about gamers.
So for the most part, i did enjoy the show, mostly this was limited to the immediate term though. As, unfortunately, there was no prominent main story here, and this is where the review starts to go downhill... Upon watching this, i couldn't shake the feeling that it all seemed quite chaotically put together, it seemed to be more of a montage of episode ideas that for some reason were never included, than a feature length production. On top of this, it was also quite disappointing that there were no additions, or alternate insights into the world of Lucky Star. Thus meaning that already, I've forgotten a lot of what happens.
Ultimately, i wouldn't recommend this as a film, because it lacks plot, and isn't particularly memorable. If however you go in, in preparation just to experience more of Lucky Star's charm, i'm sure you'll enjoy being reunited with the characters.
