| I didn't realize how much I liked this show until this episode came along. They even teased us with 2 new characters, I need at least another season of this. Without the Lucky Channel segments, it may have been an 8/10. |
 |
| Well I think that lucky channel segments were more fun the show itself. We need a lucky channel anime asap! 8/10 |
 |
| The first few episodes were a bit meh but they improved later on. 8/10 |
| Okay ending. I'm gonna really miss these characters. :c |
| What a golden way to wrap up the show. The cheerleading routine was great but my favorite part had to be with Akira and Minoru. Akira's growl when she was told to go join the demon council was hilarious, her rage was unrivaled this episode. I thought they might have finished with their graduation but I'm content with this as well. It helps to reinforce the idea that the time they have left as high schoolers is limited and that they plan to make the most out of every bit of it. I am so glad I finally got to this. Ever since I was first exposed to it by the rabid weeaboos who worshiped otaku culture in high school, Lucky Star became a wall that I was destined to climb. I've literally been debating whether or not to watch this for a couple of years now because of that experience but now that I've finished it, all of those negative feelings I harbored towards it have been expelled. I have to laugh a bit when I compare my response to episode 1 to this one. A complete 180 and Lucky Star delivered. Overall it was able to deliver the standard fare of CGDCT as well as KyoAni's usual touch. It reminds me a great deal of A-Channel which no doubt was likely influenced by this. There were lots of comedy gold moments and even some surprisingly heartfelt scenes such as this final episode and the scene with Konata's mother. I wasn't as big a fan of the pop culture humor, although it didn't detract from the show either. The characters were all fun and Kagami is easily my favorite for being the pragmatic tsundere. 8/10 |
 |
| Well, that was boring. Didn't think it was worth watching, but I'm glad I finished watching it after three years. 1/10, not for being offensively bad, but just unentertaining. |

| First of all i have to say that i'm glad that i decided to give the show a chance. The beginning was bit rough and even though the jokes were never really clever nor the things that the show pointed about life but i still found myself saddened when it came to time to say goodbye to our cast. This the sort of show you either like or don't but i do feel that the visceral hate this show has gotten is more due to the popularity and fanbase of the show. So i do consider this a rare exception to the whole "people hate it because it's popular". To me the worst things were the girl with the pink hair and that awful speech on the first episode. I definitely wouldn't blame anyone for dropping the show after seeing it. |
| The last episode was a bit boring, they were just preparing their routine the whole time, which isn't the best way to write the final episode IMO. Plus, while we've seen their routine, we never saw the main thing because they ended the episode when the best part was about to start. Overall, not a bad show, but I expected more. Konata is still among my favorite characters, there were some good and funny moments, references I didn't catch, but I still prefer other slice of life anime. I don't regret watching it nonetheless. It was a nice experience. |
 I respect your opinion as long as you respect mine. |
| The Sailor Fukku dance was awesome, but why didn't they show it at the end with the reaction from the crowd and melancholic music like in any Anime instead of that shit ending ? |
 |
| I can't believe it's over. The finale was the best episode. The main problem for them was to find a song good enough to be in the same league as Hare Hare. Guess what! They made this song and it's the opening. The song is actually the counterpart of Hare Hare. I kinda feel melancholic like the characters. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| I feel compelled to comment on this, even though the show's really old. For anyone who didn't like the ending, consider the parallels with the way the Beatles chose to end their final album Abbey Road. After some very emotional lyrics about singing lullabies, the famous "You're Gonna Carry that Weight," and other moments, it wraps up with the lyrics "And in the end, the love you take... is equal to the love you make." Think about that, a great, optimistic message about peace for all people and how to live a fulfilling life. It ties together all the Beatles sang about love, loss, and so many other things... but it's not the ending. Slowly a guitar tune can be heard, and they start singing a little ditty about how "Her Majesty's a very nice girl..." Lucky Star's ending is like that. We get the rehearsal, the payoff for our expectations regarding the tie-in for the song. Yet, we see their classmates working tirelessly away at what is to be their final culture festival, a symbol that their high school lives are coming to an end. The girls discuss their nerves behind the curtain as their performance is about to start, unsure whether they can even go through with it... and then Shiraishi's cell phone rings. Melancholy, thick tension and anticipation, all broken by an anti-climax. In a way, it's what Lucky Star has always been: the silly, sometimes dull, moments of everyday life. Some good, some bad, but overall a sense of hope and friendship. Reflecting on the way that moment so well summarizes their lives together, the girls stand proudly in front of the audience, ready to give their performance. The huge flash of light and the rising curtain suggests to us that this is a new beginning, a brilliant shining future, and they're all going into it. Just a few thoughts on why I think the ending is actually really good. It played on my natural expectations and became something even better than I had thought it would be, making me look back on the whole series in a warm-hearted, nostalgic way. |
| I really have a serious problem with rating this series. I love cgdct anime, but... Humour was waaaaay too condensed. Fast cutting, every scene was basically comedy scene, I don't really like this formula and I tend to drop comedies like this. Buy in other hand I've got TONS of references to other anime (mainly for Haruhi, but I spotted many many other), Japanese culture and general daily situations of those days. So I really liked this part of Lucky Star. I think, people who are not interested in japanese culture will hate this series. Ah, pretty good visuals and great animation, but it's not a surprise, Kyoto Animation. I love OP song. Definitely not a show which I could marathon. One episode per day is the best choice for this show. 8/10 |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
| This show got me a smile every episode. One of the best. I'll never forget that dance. Go for your dreams, make awesome memories. Viva la vida. |
 |
| Good ending to a good show. Though not quite on par with stuff like Non Non Biyori or Nichijou, but still very enjoyable to watch. 7/10 :3 |
| I'm going to sooo miss this. Humor wasn't that great and I didn't get many references, but I really loved characters. |
| Rather unfortunate that the last episode is probably one of the weakest ones, but anyway Everyone should respect the legacy 8-9/10 |
| they could've showed more of the festival :/ |
 |
| Pretty nice way to end it. Feels fitting for Lucky Star. The cheer leading routine was great. I'm not sure if I would have preferred them show us the "real" performance over the rehearsal one. Still it was a great series overall. I think the only thing this series could have done to have substantial improvement would be adding enough extra episodes to see the girls gradation. |
| That was a nice cultural festival episode. I liked their cheerleading pre performance, especially since they performed it with the opening song. Thanks to Shiraishi, they managed to calm down on the day of the performance! Speaking of Shiraishi, he sure has enough balls now to stand against Akira, I guess that water incident made him really fed up with her lol! Even Gotouther couldn't make those two to make up, but it was nice to finally see Akira appear in the show though. Too bad the lucky channel didn't show up at the end, oh well! But nice episode nonetheless. This was a good fun, relaxed show that made me laugh. The characters were all gold in my view, I liked Konata and Kagami chemistry, those two make a good comedy duo. Too bad Yuki had less show in the series, but her constant visits to the dentist were always nice to watch. But I personally loved the Lucky channel, it was fresh and very witty, those two make a great team. I will dearly miss them! This was super enjoyable along with the gags and moe moments. The only thing I didn't enjoy were the live action gags at the end, why did they have to end the karaoke segment at the end! 8/10. |

How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb --- Dr Strangelove  |
| I FKN LOVE THIS ANIME !!! A bit sad we couldn’t see the final performance, but I guess they wanted to leave it to our imaginations. Also, FKN FINALLY my fav character Akira finally gets some screentime in the show! She did it boys! SASUGA idol Akira! LOL we all saw it coming that her performance would get interrupted again though. All in all, what a blast this was, didn’t expect that I would enjoy this anime so much. A refreshing seiyuu cast that brought life to the characters, a hilarious end segment with Akira and Shiraishi, and that damn catchy Opening! Well done Kyoto Animation and it’s staff. |
| This anime has been very good Great his final episode |

| Every time when i rewatch this serial the last episode make me broken and empty. Ova no make heal effect because i just know this anime expirience have no replacement, every time it's just like go to best moments of life and in the end just light behaind the curtain, this is goodbye to the next circle for me, like in buddhism. After 13 years i still obsessed by this group and now i know where they live, someday we'll see in this place i want to believe |
 |
| Overall this show was very boring for being so popular. I can't give tihs more than 5/10. |
 |
| oh hey akira finally got her cameo in the real show lmao and Shiraishi's phone going off with the song he sang is making me rofl 5/10 |
 |
| Quite a cute ending tying up the dance choreography from the opening and getting input from every character, including the one from Lucky channel. Also the fact that the last episode was called TBA may have hinted at a possible second season, but considering how many years it's been since, I highly doubt it will ever come to fruition. Gotta say, while this show was sold to me higher than it ended up being in my opinion, it was pretty good nonetheless. I laughed a couple of times and got the references that I probably wouldn't have at the time. For some reason it also felt like watching a podcast about general culture. Also the characters ended up winning me over. Well, most did (I'm not too much of a fan of Konata's dad yet). In the end, I wouldn't necessarily recommend this to everyone and it can be slow with not much happening on screen. But it definitely has an audience and delves into topics not many others did at the time. Props to that. |

| This anime was amazing, really enjoyed watching this after work, helped me relax and such. Can't believe it took me so long to give it a try, cause I heard about it a lot but it just didn't look interesting enough, well silly me. Of course, I give this 10/10 even though I do have some complaints like in this Ep instead of letting us see the actual, they only played the rehearsal and in general, there wasn't enough of Akira, she was one of my faves along with Konata, Tsukasa, and Kagami. I will never forget this anime, goodbye sausage lovers! |

| What an ending. Lucky Star is just perfect. |
 |
| What a perfect finale, wow, this series was really wonderful. One of the best endings I've seen in a while. I know I'll keep revisiting this, will definitely get the Blu-rays someday. The involvement of everything together was super cool. Emotional music also was very nice. Cheerleading segment was awesome. |

| Took me so long to finish this, the first time I watched episode 1 was back on March 31th of 2014, WTF... For a long time I always dropped interest whenever I saw parts of episode 1, many jokes were just not landing, overtime I managed to really enjoy Kagami's character, she is definitly my favorite, and Konata had her moments, the people from Lucky Channel were funny too, but the rest of the characters, BORING borderline annoying. Shame, if the jokes land and one likes the overall mood of this anime, it is bound to be a really good experience, as it stands it is just a mix of some extreme highs with so many mids and boring shit I couldnt care about. deViate said: I'm gonna miss this anime, too bad theres no more eps. Konata as a wizard was cute and funny. I subscribe that suit her soo damm well, somehow very fitting for her character. Specific parts of this series I will miss, but most I wont, part of the cast was just annoying some parts, the rest, boring. Definitly can see why it got such a reputation and status as a classic anime from the 2000s, and I had tons of fun for some episodes and scenes, OP was catchy, ending was cringe but funny. But that is where the praise ends, still I might try to rewatch it one day far in the future, see if I manage to like it overall more, and I m being harsh but this was still a rather positve and enjoyable experience. Shout out to episode 22, far above everything else this series did. 7.3/10 = 7 Wiziliz said: What a perfect finale, wow, this series was really wonderful.

Emotional music also was very nice. Cheerleading segment was awesome. Got a feeling the official translation would kill this anime, fansub all the way for this. IF you want to support the mangaka, definitly get some manga instead. |

| come on the dance is so iconic |
| Rough Draft Notes after 2010: |
| Till this day since 2010, Lucky Star remains one of my top favorite CGDCT gag anime. While every moment isn't consistently very entertaining, it's great. 8/10. The Japanese and English cast alike are both incredible. The cast of Lucky Star is very charming, with enjoyable casual discussions and hilarious comedy from awesome dynamic bonds. With a very colorful cast, each have their own unique charm and running jokes. Konata to laidback otaku, Kagami, the fiery tsundere, Tsukasa the cute airhead, Miyuki the smart klutz. To, Minami the female prince, Yutaka the loli, Kuroi-sensei, the strict gamer teacher, Hiyori the yuri fanatic artist, and Akira Kogami, the adorable yet tough actress, etc. From their simple conversations of daily choices, likes and dislikes, to their hangouts. The cast is adorable. My personal favorite characters are Akira and Kagami. Although, I love almost all of the cast for how entertaining they are (including Konata), with fun comedy. |
