Lucky Star at a glance is a typical SoL anime about a group of junior high-school girls that makes tons of references and jokes about other anime and manga such as Gundam, Pokemon, and Sgt. Frog. It has a very light-hearted but also comedic aspect behind it which I find people either loving it or hating it.

Story 3/10
Its not that the story was bad its the lack of one. SoL's are normally like this so I'm not real to fed up with this at all. Each episode entails of mostly random conversations between the main cast of characters and really minor sub-plots. The main focus is directed towards the comedy than anything else. It makes a fine work of making you laugh. I don't think there was an episode where I didn't laugh at some point.

Art 8/10
The art style was pretty solid overall. They made fine work of taking you across a few different titles art styles which I found pretty cool. Its not everyday you see a shift in style in an anime so it was pretty refreshing to see that. The character design was very well done. I enjoyed every character in terms of design very kawaii for the most part.

Sound 10/10
This is one of the best OST's I have ever heard. For starters, the OP was drop dead amazing and very catchy. Episode 1-14 always featured the cast of characters singing a random song at the end of each episode. I found that very cute as always. The rest had a live action ED which was so hilarious. I could not stop laughing at the end of each episode. Totally something I wish I had a CD for.

Character 9/10
The main four girls of the series can be related to if you watch a lot of anime or manga. The confection between audience and character was made to grab your attention from the start and thats something a lot of writers aren't good at but this series in particular has done a fine job with that. I felt right at home when watching the interactions between them. Though as with story, there was hardly any character development.

Overall 9/10
This was a very good series but this is not something you should try to marathon. While I am going against myself here this anime has a casual feel and is meant to be enjoyed when you need a fresh relief from reality and a good laugh now and then. It is also very much so good to watch with friends as I did. I highly recommend it to anyone willing to take a break from very action packed shounens and such anime.
