Then a few years later when i got into watching anime i was looking through MAL and i came across Lucky Star and i instantly was reminded of that opening dance sequence that i would see in those forum user's signatures. So i was all like HEY I REMEMBER THIS! So i decided to give it a shot. But before i even began to start watching it, I would approach a friend of mine and seek his opinion on the anime. During that time i just started to watch anime so i was not sure what was good or not and my friend told me that it was really boring and he only watched a total of 5 minutes of it then he decided to drop it. So for a while i decided not to watch it. Later on after watching more anime so i start to get a sense of what i like, i decided to try this anime knowing that my friend hates it.
AND I AM REALLY FUCKING GLAD I DECIDED TO WATCH IT.
I've always assumed that i would like what ever my friend likes since that seemed to be the case when i started out watching anime. But i have gained my independence in this. Basically i watch what i want. lol.
ANYHOW enough back story. REVIEW TIME!
STORY: 9
Even though this anime supposedly has no freaking story, i find that to be the beauty of it. Just how the hell can an anime where there is no story be good? Well it is possible.
The so called "Story" revolves around these 4 girls that just live their lives in high school. At first you might say "What the hell? that sounds stupid" but it is actually really really interesting , to me at least. Lucky Star is one of those shows that you either don't like or you love it. And i for one, loved it.
Even though it's just about cute girls doing cute things living their lives, there are actually a few touching moments in this anime.
ART: 9
KYOTO ANIMATION 'NUFF SAID!!
Haha I am totally a fan boy of kyoani, but this type of animation is what kyoani is known for. The type of animation in Lucky Star is incredibly simple AND IT WORKS!
I totally love the moe moe ness in this anime. This is probably the biggest selling point of the anime. THE EFFING MOE! But there are a lot of other enjoyable things about this other than its moe tastic animation.
At episode 10 we are introduced to the Anime Tenchou, and holy crap they really put a lot of effort into the animation. Once you watch it you would understand what i mean.
SOUND: 9
The music in this anime is great. I am particularly quite fond of the track "FUN FUN FUN DAYO" which i plan to learn it on the piano so i can have my own FUN FUN FUN.
I also really liked the ending karaoke segment. It is very amusing to see the character's seiyuu's sing other songs. Konata's (Hirano Aya) version of Cha la head cha la is just freaking hilarious.
Character: 10
THIS IS WHAT I LIKE MOST ABOUT LUCKY STAR!!!!
Izumi Konata: This chick is f*cking funny. She is athletic yet hates it, she is really short and is an otaku. She lives with her dad which is okay with her playing Eroge's (PORN GAMES!) And to top it all she is so god damn moe.
Hiiragi Tsukasa: I have always compared these twins with the twins in Clannad. I mean seriously, they look the Effing same. EXCEPT i do not hate the short hair one this time around. God i really dislike Ryou Fujibayashi. ANYHOW...... Tsukasa is totally the cute but stupid kind of person. Kind of like Konata but she's more normal like.
Hiiragi Kagami: MAN OH MAN. SHe is an awesome f*cking character. She is just like her alter ego Fujibayashi Kyou from Clannad, which is also my favorite chick from Clannad. She is the typical tsundere girl that tsukkomi's every single chance she gets. She is aggressive one of the bunch and seeing her when she's not is just absolutely great.
(Just a random note, i really don't know why i prefer these typical tsundere girls in most of the animes with a lot to choose from, maybe i just like aggressive chicks with purple hair, cough* cough* Sasasegawa Sasami from Little Busters cough* cough*)
Takara Myuki: Although Mal states her as a main character i see her more as a support character. The amount of screen time that she gets compared to the other three is small. Probably like 50%. Her character is the that of a really intellectual high class like ojou sama that isn't a total bitch. She reminds me of Mugi-chan from K-On. same type of aura. It would be awesome if she got a lot more screen time.
Enjoyment and overall: 9
I really enjoyed this anime. It is something i can keep on rewatching as much I want and not get bored of it. It is not one of those anime's where it is the best watching it the first time around, no. It is one of those anime's that you just sit back and relax and just enjoy the awesome nothingness that brings you a smile to your face.
This is purely my perspective of this though. There is that phrase of "maybe this isn't your cup of tea" Well i don't really drink tea but i bet if this was turned into tea i would gladly say it is indeed my cup of tea.
So if you like a story revolved around nothing and just like seeing a bunch of cute girls and a bunch of parodies than i am sure you would enjoy this anime.
If not, well I can't do anything about it.
~Til Next time,
