| Why didn't anyone tell me that this was the best anime of all time? Time to binge-watch all of it. |

| I have begun my pilgrimage through hell on Earth. Ever since that day in high school when I saw the weeaboos dressing up as their favorite Lucky Star characters and speaking broken Japanese, I knew this would be my greatest obstacle. One punch to the stomach down, 23 to go. Episode 1 - I desperately rummage through my belongings to find a scalpel to dig out my eyeballs in hopes of never reading another line about chocolate cornets ever again. Konata being a hyper otaku isn't really that funny yet, it might grow on me later but I can't imagine it keeping me for 24 episodes. At least Lucky Channel was a bit amusing. |

| What am I doing with my life when I am watching this anime :D |

| I don't mind long conversations but if you are gonna have on one your show it has to be something interesting about. The whole food discussion just wasn't. |
| First ep was aight. I kind of expected more, hearing so much hype over Lucky Star. I hope it gets funnier. The randomness doesn't bother me since it reminds me of Azumanga Daioh :) |
| I watched this on fanbsubs back in 2007, thought it was hilarious. Especially the opening food discussion scene is now a classic! Also Konata & sensei playing the same MMO is just beyond hilarious/ridiculous and cute! |
| Episode was a bit crazier than I had thought, but I guess that's just Japan for you. So far it's a nice SoL anime :3 |
| Whoa this show is kinda heavy dialogue, huh? And I wasnt expecting it or is it just like that in the first episode? Hehe. Love the humors, though. Will continue watching. Yas. |

| Well, I heard this series was quite funny but in fact it was exactly opposite, it was boring most of the time with one or two situations that very probably interesting but overall not a good start. Seems similiar to Nichijou in its boringness and nothing close to greatness of Azumanga so far. I'll give it few more episodes, really don't know where the worship of this series came from, it's one of the weaker titles of KyoAni if I have to judge after the first episode. |

I found it interesting you compared this show to Nichijou. I found Nichijou absolutely hilarious. This show on the other hand has some of the driest comedy I have ever heard. Nichijou at least had some scenes that blew up in production value that was mostly referencing the absurd reactions people give for the most mundane and unlikely of situations. Nichijou also relies very heavily on slapstick humor. Lucky Star's humor is completely different. Lucky Star leads to very dialogue heavy scenes where the characters just sit around and contemplate on the minutia of Japanese culture. This show is probably a lot more funny if you are actually Japanese. Being an American, most of the cultural references in this show I simply do not understand. |

I generally don't like the slapstick so that may be the reason. For me Nichijou was the best in its middle where the authors got really creative with character interactions, it was off for boring start to me, with several really good episodes here and there but overall not very memorable series to me. As for Lucky Star, I'll give the series yet another chance and watch more episodes as I do think I know a lot about japanese culture but for me the any dry comedy needs to have perfect jokes or on spot cultural references, else it's just hit or miss most of the time. |

I think the dumb conversations worked well at giving us a glimpse in how all the girls think on baseline level. I'm not sure if the show will have more varied conversation beyond this point, but this was a decent opener. |

The show does get better after director changes (after couple of episodes) To me the first couple of episodes felt really cringy but the show eventually ended up having place in my heart. |
| What a stupid show this is. Dropped. |
  |
| I went in almost blind so I did not know what to expect. I love it for some reason. |
 |
| Hearing the hype I decided to take a look. Not sure how to feel after laughing out loud, realizing they have been talking about the tiniest details about food for straight up 5 minutes. I expect to see more comedy in this or something more interesting to keep my attention up. Art style is cute tho, so that's a bonus. |
 |
| This was boring AF. How can anyone would love this? They were talking about food for like half of the time. I'm Sorry I'm not Japanese, I don't about Japanese food. |
| Damn that was a lot talk they did. |
| O_o What the hell... I was hoping something would happen eventually but all we got was a couple of girls talking about how they like to eat their food?! I mean seriously. I love SoL but this is too much SoL. Nothing happens. |
| I... I watched the first episode expecting an easy slice of life, without much expectations, something to relax to... but this... This is one of the most BORING thing I ever watched, oh my god. It made absolutely no-sense, but not in a good way. Nothing in 23 minutes made me think "I want to continue this". I'm gonna watch some other episodes because I want to see if it's just the first episode, but... if not for the graphics and the animation (which I found cute and pleasant), I would drop this instantly. |

| That wasn't so strong first episode. I didn't like that heavy dialogue which made me distracted couple of times and it was hard to pay any focus. The comedy wasn't for my taste either, so I'm a bit disappointment. I have seen so many CGDCT/SoL/comedy/school anime before this and I have heard this is one of the best there is, but.. Oh, well. I'm still going to watch rest of the episodes and then made my final judgement. 3/5 or 6/10 so far. |
 |
| soo... which end do you eat the coronet from? came back to this show after putting it on hold for over a year. I hope every episode is not too boring because there are many great parts |
 |
| I understand why a lot of people don't really like this episode; people want to watch an anime with a plot, not one where they just discuss different techniques of eating food. However, I sometimes like having an anime I can put on in the background and don't have to think about it too much. So far, this show just gives me the vibes of a random chatting podcast and not an actual anime (other than the animation) lol |
| Making a first episode like this - which seems to intentionally try and be as inane as tedious as humanely possible - is certainly a bold strategy, but I guess this show can get away with it thanks to gaining a cult following in the mid-2000s. The Lucky Channel bit was kind of funny, but otherwise this was a dismal first episode that felt like I was just watching any old bad slice-of-life anime. I swear, even the thoroughly-mediocre and often tedious Yuyushiki was more entertaining than this first episode. Choco coronets can fuck off. |
| wow, this episode was damn boring. That chocolate cornet talk killed me I was like "how long are you guys gonna keep talking about it", I had to fast forward that part out of frustration which I never do (even if it's boring I just like to let it playoff, but this one was just way too boring and dragged out) well, that was the negative part of the episode. I liked the lucky star channel, that girl switching from cutesy voice to adult serious voice was pretty funny. and the absolute best part of this episode was the Opening, one of the best, catchiest openings I've ever heard. |
| What on Earth have I got myself into? I've watched a fair share of SoL but this seems to be built different, to say the least. |
| OωO |
| Tell me OP is not eye-catching. No matter how many times I watch it I never get bored. |
