First of all I was very sceptic about this show, before I watched it.
I thought is was only a show for girls and crazy otakus,but I was wrong.

Experience:
Lucky Star is a slice of life and comedy anime ,which also contains japanese and otaku culture .

This show has much and fast Dialog’s
I can read fast but some scenes were evenn too fast for me ,so this show is nothing for Anime beginners who need subtitles.

I watched all episodes of Lucky Star in four days.
We follow the main character Konata and her three friends Kagami,Tsukasa and Miyuki in her daily life.
Most of the time we see them in school,or when they study at home.
The characters are acting realistic and the friendship beetween them is authentic.

The scenes in the breaks at school are a little bit boring sometimes.
The best scenes are these,when we see the girls in their freetime.
Konata’s shopping experiences are always funny.
We follow the girls to the beach,to some cultural festivals and to the comiket.

After the story part we see Lucky Channel with the Navigator Akari chan and her assistant Minoru Shiraishi.
In this part they should show us some infos about the show and the characters,but everytime Akari messed it up with her bad behavior.
She’s a mean and spoiled brat who tortures her assisant every time.
If assistant Minoru Shiraishi says the wrong things Akira gets angry at him.

The endings of the show are always different.
In the first half of this show,we see the door of an Karaoke room where the girls talking and singing popular Anime or japanese Songs.
The Best part for me was in epiode 5.
In the second half the voice actor of Akari-chan’s assistant sings the ending songs,more wrong than right, but its funny,best part of that was in episode 14, I laughed so hard.

Conclusion:
Well, in ths show it doesn’t happen a lot,we follow the girls through 2 years of their life.
They are talking much about these and that.
The Topics are mainly school, studying,anime, games,otaku and japanese culture.

The comedy plays big part in Lucky Star ,itcontains slapstic and sometimes even some kind of adult humor.

Lucky star uses much references to other anime shows.
You should at least have watched The Melancholy of Suzumia Haruhi and Full Metal Panic to get most of the jokes.

The opening theme is great, its fast and very energetic.

The animation is simple but nice to watch.
We have always the same perspectives ,so we dont see the legs of the girls very often.
When you see the girls without legs they seem very small in height.

Cons:
No character development
Nothing special happens
You need a lot of otaku knowledge to understand all the jokes

Pros:
Characters
Lucky Channel
Opening
Cute girls
Comedy
