Lucky star is a series you'll either hate or love. I for one like the series, but i'm not crazy about. The series grew on me, and i came to enjoy it. Slice of Life series are ones that take me away from the serious dramatic plots from other animes i watch.
I really agree with your review , I really don't find it that bad nor that good its ok at best but I still enjoyed it, I actually used to hate lucky star only from what I had heard and some clips I had seen but when I finally gave it a chance I enjoyed it but at the same time it didn't make me laugh as much as much as some other anime have its just ok.
I really like the show for its lighthearted and cute style. I like to watch/listen to it, while doing homework or surfing around the net. You don't have to give all your attention to it, and there is nothing to miss, as there is no main plot. Its a nice break from other more serious content.
This anime definitely took a while to get into, first ten minutes of ep 1 was spent discussing how to eat a chocolate cornet. I personally don't like the lucky channel bit at the end.
To be fair with the story, since it was originally a 4Koma (or so I've heard), I pretty much treated the show like reading a daily newspaper comic which made the story much more tolerable. Also, I'm a huge fan of Tomokazu Seki, so the anime store manager sequences were entertaining.
My verdict? As an Anti-Otaku, I find the cute factor gets creepy after the first five seconds. I also find the stories to be bland, the characters uninteresting, the references confusing, and the humour too bland to seriously like. It does have a "so bad it's good" value, as I found it's easy to make ironic jokes about it. Overall, 0/10. It's no Cowboy Bebop.
I didn't know lucky star has the same creators as Clannad...there two completely different anime! But the art style is similar but Clannad's is way more detailed because they actually look like high schoolers XD
Great review! I personally love the series, but I'm not gonna troll you for not thinking its "Godly". I am a fanboy of many things, but I'm not gonna tell somebody to die if they don't like something I love. I do agree with many of the things you pointed out and I respect your opinions.
While I do admit that the series itself has many, many flaws, for some reason I really like it. Though, maybe it's because I'm easily impressed...but I digress. Again, great review!
Lucky Star is a damn entertaining show. I'm not even highly into anime or anything and I still really enjoy it even when I don't get a LOT of the jokes. Despite that, Lucky star still makes me laugh a lot. And as for the animation, yannow, there are a lot of times where the animation is really great or changes styles to something much more richly detailed. What I care about are the characters, who aren't nearly as one-dimensional as you make them out to be. Even Tsukasa has depth to her.
quite honestly he is right, when you break it down, it is a very mediocre anime, but it's decent and perfect for a light chuckle or a gag/joke without real thinking... not for a 3 hour anime session like... gode geass or anything. one episode at a time
this is the first anime i have seen which i might make a video on why, anyway I have to agree this anime is kinda well crappy but it has its moments where it becomes watchable i was on skype with my friends when i watched the first few episodes and i was forever on ranting that it sucked giant monkey dick but for some reason i kept on watching and I have to say it is kinda memorable but again it also does suck just like fight ippatsu juuden chan it sucks but is good at the same time
I like this review, why? Because you REVIEWED IT! Unlike some reviewers, who hate on series they don't like and promate their own, you didn't do that. 1. You only toke the show in consideration when reviewing. 2. It felt like you tried to keep an open mind and aleast watched all or most of the series, before making a review. 3. I liked when you stated things that people might like about it. 4. You kept it in the third person, which I believe helped with the review. PS: I like Lucky Star.
after a few episodes i wanted to stop but something kept pushing me forward cause im a comedy addict. somehow i finished the series. now i really want those hours of my life back
Animeoverviewer I just saw you comment and good job with bich slapping that hater keep up the good work I would suggest a anime to review but I think u probably already did them
It's funny, the things you like the most I lked the least, akira and the shop keepers. And I think the characters look very pretty, and that's important to me. Anyway, I liked Kagami very much and the comedy of it sometimes. But shy girls just make me embarrased with them, it's a little painful to watch.
me and my friend couldn't make it through the first 10 minutes of this show with out wanting to punch the computer screen. i know alot of people say this is just as bad as the melencholy of haruhi suzimiya but to be honest i can actually sit through haruhi and tolerate it. sure it's not that good of an anime but i'll admit there were some moments in haruhi tha made laugh abit
@DrIvoRobotnick I don't consider myself an authority but I would like to say I know a great deal about anime.
I never said people shouldn't like it.
Besides, it's not just that I don't get the jokes, I just didn't find them funny. Besides, if I find I flaw, then I don't see why I shouldn't point it out. That's what a review is about: Picking out the good and the bad.
Not into 2D girls? And you call yourself an otaku? You poser. Quit reviewing anime because you SUCK. You're even studdering in your live action shots. I'm sick of listening to you fuck up your script.
@jddeitz2000 Don't like it, don't watch it. Simple as that. At least I've dated real women. And besides who are you to say what I should and should not review? So according to your logic I have to to be socially incompetent, live in my basement, mooch off my parents, and masturbate to ero games to be a true anime fan? Wow, I pity you. Since you're such an expert in everything anime, why don't you review? Because apparently you have enough time to act like a whiny bitch on the internet.
You know I actually considered watching this anime this summer, just to learn what's so good about this anime. BTW what's the name of the song at the beginning of the video? sounds catchy.
Yes lucky star is overated but I liked for the pure fact that I feel you have to get subtle jokes and I found it funny disagree with I don't care one of the best anime I've seen
I don't know why, but I can't bring myself to watch an even episode of Lucky Star so I can't say if it's overrated but from what I've heard it's quite so

There are two types of western male Otaku in the world.
Those who are annoyingly macho and fight over sleeping with Bulma or Misty.
And the others who are 20 and decide which Luckey Star/Haruhi gal to go on a date with.
I think you are the first.

What ever Its not like you are any kind of authority or expert on anime so there is really no point in discussing it with you.
But Really just you don't get the jokes doesn't mean you should Trash it.
No one says you have to like it so you shouldn't demand that people don't.
This isn't the dark knight. The fans may be animals but not ravenus.
Luckey Star fans are like sheep.
as compared to velosiraptors like DBZ fans.
