So of course the first thing i saw was the shows opening theme. Full of choreographed dancing done by girls that looked like they were in middle school and full of energy it was quite a sight to behold. But then came the actual show. The first 10 minutes of the show was spent by a couple of girls talking about how to eat food. It was extraordinarily boring. Thats when i realized this show was actually about nothing very literally. So i finished the episode and began to forget about the show.
One day i start talking to my friend about anime and i bring up "Lucky Star." He then says how much he liked the show and how i should give it another chance . So I did and I watched all 24 episodes.
The main character is Konata. She is your classic modern tomboy type character. She was an obsession with manga , video games , and anime. She considers her self an otaku. She dislikes things like school work and normal books. She at first was somewhat interesting but she became repetitive and annoying. She like all the characters of this anime did not change at all throughout the entire show. Her sole purpose was to be relatable to all the male watchers and reference anime frequently.
Next we have the purple haired twins Kagami and Tsukasa. Tsukasa is an airhead and overall boring character. And Kagami is smart and reliable for example Konata and Tsukasa constantly copy homework from her.
The main problem with the characters are how static they are. They are always very predictable. Sometimes they were able to create good humor but often anything funny was repeated constantly till it became annoying.
The art style was not my taste at all. It was very colorful but it often lacked detail. This especially could be seen by the background characters who were often just black silhouettes.
One of the best things about this show was the quality of the English dub. All of the voices for the main characters sounded very fitting for each character. But most of the music was bland and forgettable. Some of the ending themes had songs from other anime which was alright.
One of the biggest problems was the shows attempt at comedy. I have seen a good amount of anime and played lots of video games so i get most of the references. But these little references did not add much comedy. The show just failed to make me laugh. I think I laughed about 5 times throughout the whole 24 episodes. For a comedy without a plot this is a huge problem since im not laughing nor enjoying a good story the show seemed very pointless.
The only people i can recommend this show to are the people who are addicted to shows full of moe and just want to watch a group of girls acting like girls.
