It's was slightly funny and cute (Especially at the end! That's how I sing :D), but the all of the characters look like they are in Elementry school. And they spend WAY too long talking about food. I'll keep watching it and see if it will get better.

((BTW. Is mayonnaise made differently in Japan? Though in America mayonnaise is made with eggs, I don't think it will taste good on eggs....?))

Hmmm.. yeah this series is pretty... different lol. I will say. the random jumping around with different subjects was just to fast paced for me and didn't seem like it was in any particular order. Anyways this series has very high reviews on here and personally i don't see why. I was expecting something more similar to like Clannad or Kannon. I will continue to watch it though and hope it gets better. I have to admit that long conversation involving food got me pretty hungry lol.

Hmm. I kind of like this episode. Not as much as I like Azumanga Daioh's first episode, I'll grant. I already knew the first episode was a lot of food talk, so I wasn't surprised when it happened.

I think I'm going to hold off on voting until I hear the original voices and see how they put things in the subtitles.

I laughed three times. I like shows that revolve around conversations between characters but for most of this episode I wasn't interested in what they were talking about. I assume it would be different if I was Japanese. Still, I haven't dropped an anime yet so I'll give it a chance.

Well, they talked about food for about half the main segment (that is, they talked about it for most of the first half, and then reprised it with Kagami in the second half). Other subjects: how much more important anime is to Konata than her athletic prowess; an effect of h-games on behavior toward young girls; as mentioned, the cold and flu thing; actions that evoke moe; friends... that sort of thing.

We're sort of establishing the characters that we'll be seeing for 23 more episodes... and the OVA, for that matter.

Woah so much hate. (this is coming from a Lucky Star hater) LOL

Anyways, the first episode wasn't THAT bad. It had some good moments, but it also had some dull moments I will agree. The food part at the beginning was pretty funny, wasn't a huge fan of the flu/cold part though. I liked how they randomly switched from the topics food, cold, and then back to food though. xD

Interesting...?
This was a very confusing, but fun first episode. It was like random stuff thrown together without any connection whatsoever. Yet I still found most of the dialogue pretty funny :) So I will surely not drop this series, though it will also need some kind of a little story that can hold together the little scenes.

Characters are likeable so far, and Konata is win. I really like her style, no wonder how many favorites she has.
The OP wasn't really new to me, I've heard it many times before, and I like it. It's that "weird and so bad its actually good" type of song :)

Looking forward for more Lucky Star!

If you're concerned about that, then I would recommend that you stay away from this series, because a lot of it is talk.

Well that was random... I don't think this show was meant to have a specific plot. I think it was meant to be funny... kinda like Crayon Shin Chan.

Just realized one of my favorite tracks from the J-core Masterz series uses Lucky Star's opening theme. This will take a moment to sink in.

Apart from that, the episode was kind of haphazard, but animation+characters+humor are all likeable, so I didn't mind they were introduced with foodtalk (Japanese generic topic 101).

This episode had WAY too much talking, even in the beginning I was getting sleepy. The part that saved it was Konata and the "Lucky Star Channel" where the girl quickly changes moods, hilarious! XD

Ill watch the rest of the episodes but no hurry...

My god, those girls would not shut-up! I mean, I don't think I've ever seen an anime where they talk for every single minute of the show, usually there's a few seconds of silence but no, not this time.

I'm watching the dub instead and I must say l'm perfectly fine with the voices, it certainly helps that I'm familiar with Tsukasa Hiiragi's english voice actor.

Overall I wouldn't say I found it boring, more like disbelief. Looking forward to this anime, especially since my friend told me the first ep is worst out of all of them.

This was one series I've kept hearing about & decided to give it a go.

Quite random but amusing in places, the food talk was probably the highlight.

It was just about the main 4 girls, with the twins Mum being the only other to to get much screentime. For some reason almost every anime I've watched has Kikuko Inoue supplying a voice, it's not like I go out of my way to watch things she's done.

I normally give 1st episodes some leeway to allow things to settle down.

I'm hoping things will pickup, some series need an episode or 2 to get into the swing of things.

The OP was good, & the ending was smart by not just singing but having some chat over the beginning.

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.

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.

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!
