Synopsis

Lucky☆Star follows the daily lives of four cute high school girls—Konata Izumi, the lazy otaku; the Hiiragi twins, Tsukasa and Kagami (sugar and spice, respectively); and the smart and well-mannered Miyuki Takara.

As they go about their lives at school and beyond, they develop their eccentric and lively friendship and making humorous observations about the world around them. Be it Japanese tradition, the intricacies of otaku culture, academics, or the correct way of preparing and eating various foods—no subject is safe from their musings.

Lucky Star is an art. And has a shit ton of japanese references that I found hilarious. I feel like if you're not into japanese culture as a whole, you'll miss a lot of the joy of watching. You choose to watch lucky star for enjoying one of the "truest forms" of slice of life and that's it. Nothing else. Will have to say, Pls watch Haruhi before this, the amount of references always has me dying.

Lucky star haters that I've been reading about seem watch this for the sake of watching, like trying to check off a watch list to say that's you've ...

Mixed Feelings
It’s a shame really because this had all the potential of a great anime and yet it stumbles out of the starting gate. There are some good gags and the characters are really likable. But this show’s undoing is the same as what undoes Nichijou 4 years later; it can’t be bothered to give us a proper introduction to the main cast of characters and then just throws random nonsense about (like the recurring Lucky Channel or ED bits) and expects them to be funny. Like with Nichijou, you could probably get at least 12 really good episodes out of this, provided some deft editing ...

Despite the moe character design, Lucky Star is very... bland. What K-ON! did for the moe genre was revolutionary and has an incredible story in its own right with a cast of lovable characters. Lucky Star essentially is just a show about a group of high school friends that make fun of anime tropes, high school and really specific Japanese foods, and Japanese things in a snarky way. Some of the jokes land and are pretty funny. Most of them don't and it makes the show seem more like a commentary about the anime industry as a whole as opposed to a show worth watching ...
