What does 240p resolution videos and a can of soda left open in the fridge overnight have in common? both were decent for their time but aged horribly and lost a lot of its enjoyableness. The "comedy" as some people like to describe this show is as flat as the girls are in this show. Lucky Star is and always will be known as that show from 2007, you either had to have had to enjoy it at the time much like a can of soda and your 240p videos or you missed out. I unfortunately missed out and was 15 years too late to the party. So for anyone considering watching let me tell you what you are in for.

Im not really going to spoil anything for anyone in this review because if Im quite honest there isnt anything to "spoil" for the most part. There is no character development to speak of or any real plot anyways.

Every episode is basically the same from episode 1 through 24. Konata talks about video games, anime, manga and cultural references and complains about not doing her homework, Kagami either puts on the tsundere act and scolds others usually Konata for being irresponsible and Tsukasa her younger sister. Speaking of Tsukasa she usually says something ditzy. This theme repeats in every episode and if its not the before mentioned most of each episode is just the girls talking about meaningless pointless things with the occasional cultural reference thrown in.

Its a real shame they have such cool unique characters and the writers decide to pretty much do nothing with them. Ironically enough the 2 minute or so segment with the Lucky Channel at the end of each episode is the only remotely interesting part to watch.

Still reading and I haven't convinced you on anything yet? Don't fall for the memes and expect anything extravagant or exciting to happen in this show because for the most part that wont happen. There is no slapstick there is no spontaneous humor to speak of either. If you've watched episode 1 you've pretty much watched all of the episodes, some more characters are introduced after episode 15 like Tamura who is obsessed with Yuri manga and Minami the quiet girl whose insecure about flat chested.

I dropped this show halfway through episode 1 a year ago and decided to power through it this year because I was hoping to like it after giving it a second chance, unfortunately it fell flat for me.
