| I've heard Lucky Star being described as the "Seinfield" of the anime world, and I would take that as an accurate description. It's a show about...nothing...and you're either going to really like it or not. Personally, I like Lucky Star because it doesn't require thinking. You just watch and let it happen. Unlike other anime where you have to keep an eye on every little detail and hang on every word of dialogue for fear of missing something. Besides, it's so relateable--I mean, who hasn't had the types of conversations that the girls have in the show? We've all asked our friends "Have you ever wondered..." "Have you ever noticed..." "You know when..." Lucky Star is a prime example of Slice-Of-Life. |

| There's a lot of arguments why watching this anime is entertaining for me, but most important are great main characters, sense of humour and opening which I have on my iPod. :) |
| the randomness is funny |
| Let's say that Lucky Star is EXTREMELY hit or miss. |
| I Love it, it's references to other Animes is just so great. It's pretty damn accurate to, Konata pretty much sums me up. It's accuracy on MMORPG Games & so on, I laughed out hard. It's so cute too, you can never get bored of watching Tsukasa in the Opening lol ~Abs |
| ugh.. Episode 1 made me completely lose it's interest.. They talk about how to eat food...... wow. I cannot watch this show. |
| I'm not sure when I ran into this series but I watched it right after I first saw Haruhi, the timing couldn't be better. Lazyfulness said: ugh.. Episode 1 made me completely lose it's interest..

| For me, some of the predicaments they get into are hilarious. I usually dislike anime with no storyline, and I tend to stay away, but I also heard that this was a very good show. The art direction was fresh to me and the characters were very cute. It didn't hurt to add a bunch of anime references in every other scene either; I love that stuff. |

| I'm not a huge fan of Lucky Star, but I plan to watch it all the way through. Sometimes it makes me laugh a little, and I really like Kagami and Lucky Channel amuses me (hell, I'd watch Lucky Channel if it was an anime on it's own...). I don't like the argument of 'it has no plot.' Really it's no different from a lot of situational comedies in America or other animated shows, like Family Guy or South Park. Just because it's anime doesn't mean it has to follow some sort of code. What I don't get is why so many people like it and laud it as the best anime out there, it's good enough and I can understand why some people would like it, but it's just not that good in my opinion. :3 |
| cus it awesome and cute ;3 |
 |
| The opening is awesome,its so fast and energetic,Itried to sing somelines but its too fast. Well I was always bored by the dialog during the school breaks. I d prefered the scenes were the girls visited each other,went to the city or went to other activities. Luck Channelu was always funny bad Akira > cute Akira XD In one of the endings I think it was where the guy performed Melancholy of SH ending I laughed so hard. Lucky Star combines realism with awesome funny Jokes therefore I like it. One of my favorite scenes was where Kagami locked at the SousukexGauron Manga,and than ran away in despair XD |

| Where's the guy who started this topic? Is he even reading these >_> Simply put, Konata and Kagami makes the series awesome tenfold Many real-life situations anyone can relate to A touching epic win ep 22 about her that bumped my score by 1 point (from 8 to 9) Great OP EPIC WIN ED 13, 17 and 22, I GUARANTEE IT! Otaku fandom References Cuteness Moe Self-references Intentional stereotypes (tsundere, otaku, little sisters, etc) Relaxing pace What's not to like (unless you're some die-hard action fan who can't take the crap slice of life gives you)? |
| It gets better as it goes along. KAGAMI YES |
ender650 said: I've only seen the first episode and didnt really like it, but because Ive heard so many good things I will watch some more episodes soon. yeah i agree - |
| i am on episode 3 - its kinda dull - i love the shout outs to other anime like the meancholy of haruhi suzumiya and shuffle , wich were my 2nd and 3rd animei ever watched , but its not grasping my attention - exept i love comedy - especially seinfeld!!! i am gonna force myself through it and see what happens............. |
| 2 words... moe... tsundere... |
| ... |
| I agree with you, I find no enjoyment in this anime. It was really boring, just stupid humor if you find humor in it sometimes... |

| Yeah some people have different tastes in humour. For example, I honestly don't think Toradora! is all that funny (my friends think it's really funny -_-) and neither do I think of Lucky Star being funny, I love Lucky Star for the great characters, although they can be loli, I'm not a loli. I never laughed out loud at all, probably a few chuckles here and there but I really enjoyed watching their everyday lives. I guess I'm just the kind of guy who loves slice-of-life. Honestly, I could relate to pretty much everything Konata went through although they never covered the sad parts, it's all about relating really and if you can't, it's boring. |
Inariko said: I thought it was pretty fun... seeing people talk about the same things you talk about and such. I also relate greatly to Konata- I'm a gamer/manga/anime/toy collector myself and she acts just like I do in many real life situations. I dunno, people who make posts about how they can't get into animes without plot, or animes that just talk about nothing for extended periods of time should get out of this genre. You don't go into romantic anime sections and post "oh god I don't get the point in watching two people awkwardly dodge the question of romance OVER AND OVER thing," do you? O_o It's just asking for trouble. Hi five man It's like complaining over and over again that this cat doesn't have a tail but normal cats have so it's a taboo thus that cat is pure crap. Many slice-of-lifes don't have plot either, better understand or GTFO. The whole slice-of-life genre is about relating to characters anyway. If you can't, GTFO. Konata, Kagami, etc were pretty much made easily-relatable characters in the sense that they talk bout everyday things and have everyday obsessions and stuff like that |
| i liked it for the situational and satirical humor though not everyone enjoys these kinds of humor |

| Lucky Star is funny because it parodies anime stereotypes. The first few episodes are sort of... pointless. But the later episodes, it gets much smarter. It also manages to parody anime without becoming over the top. Even though the characters have exaggerated poersonality traits they are still realistic. You could consider it an 'anime set in the real world'. Watch all the way through before deciding whether you like it or not. And if you didn't, are you sure you understood the parody? You could also go further and say it is a satire, criticising how the Otaku's lifestyle and obsession with anime isolates them from the real world. That might be a little far, but it's sort of true. |

| they talk a lot about nothing, but im actually into that kinda thing so i like series |

 I'm a big fan of Lucky Star, mainly attracted to it by it's moe, comedic references and such. I find that a large percent of this shows haters use the "All they do is talk about food" standpoint after watching only one episode. Clearly, they haven't actually taken the time to watch at least 3-5 episodes where they might have found something that could have sparked their interest. AirStyles said: Kagami, nuff said. Kagamin moe. <333 Inariko's second paragraph is also something too think about imo. |
 |
| The real problem with Lucky Star is that the first two episodes are the worst, and it doesn't really get good until the 5th episode. The first two episodes are about nothing at all, and serve only to introduce the characters. There is not really an overall plot to the show, but each episode past the first few actually have their own plots. For example, in one episode they go to a festival, in another an anime convention, in another one the beach ect. and it is not just trivial discussion about food. The jokes get much better (Kagami and Konata make a good double act). I suggested my anime society should watch it, but found out they already had and hated it. But after checking a few MAL profiles, it seems they only saw the first handfull of episodes. You shouldn't really judge a series until your at least half way in my opinion (and certainly not after two episodes). |

| I just don't get it. (shrugs) I just don't get it. What exactly r people rating this for anyway? I don't get it - It puzzles me even more knowing that people are liking it without being even able to tell u why (shrugs)-... |
 |
| I think people like the anime because of the characters. Think on that, any character in Lucky Star is actually a perspective of all the people in the world who can choose with who they identify, like for example, the otakus are identifying with Konata. Why? Because she expresses them: She reads Manga, watches animes and plays video games, such as them and because of that, they think she is their goddess. Did you understand? |
 And that's it. Na-no-ne/De-aru/Relo XD |
| i liked the humor between konata and kagami |
| This is terrible. Unless you're the kind of person who buys pocky on J-list I would avoid this anime. Just turn on your tv and watch Seinfeld re-runs instead. It's not funny and it's full of obscure japanese pop culture references that you will not get without looking on wikipedia (mandom etc) (and even if you catch them they are unfunny). I already downloaded the whole thing and watched 6 episodes, shit, i really don't wanna finish this crap but by now i kinda feel obliged. At least the Lucky Channel shorts are mildly amusing. |
 |
| I don't know. I asssume that people who liked this also liked Meet the Spartans/Disaster Movie/Epic Movie etc. Yes I compared Lucky Star to a Friedberg/Seltzer production. They're both unfunny and rely on cheap references. Seriously I can't believe no one came up with that comparison yet. |
| My vision is augmented. |
| i liked it cause it's so absurd:P they discuss about little stupid things for hours=D and Konata is really one of us! |
 |
| This show just feels like an otaku recorded his friends talking about anime and video games at lunchtime. I don't see the creativity, I might as well have made a series like that myself for the lulz. And for those who said that it's wrong not to like something you haven't finished (or along the lines of that), I don't see the point on finishing something that stopped interesting me the moment I started watching it. I gave the show 3 more episodes of my mercy. Also, some of us CAN be slice of life fans and still not like this show. Azumanga Daioh made me chuckle and like the characters. And before you call me a troll, I don't think I insulted anyone with this post. I guess some people do like it because they're into that kind of humor, they like little girls, or they just relate to that stuff. I don't. You may yell at me now. |
| Kagamin makes the show for me. I mostly watch it if I'm in an empty brained mood then I can get a few episodes done. I do watch the dub though just because I need to be able to do something else while watching and rewinding to see the subtitles makes my head explode. ._. But Azumanga Daioh>Lucky Star. |

| When watching lucky star, does anyone else get an Aria kind of vibe? |
| I thought it was funny, simple as that. |
| No matter how good you are at something, there's always about a million people better than you. |
| This anime gets off on its charm. If it doesn't pull you in with it you won't enjoy it. But otherwise it's really enjoyable. |
 |
| I love Lucky Star. I absolutely love it. Personally, I think it's completely love-it-or-hate-it. Maybe it's a cop-out, but I think you either "get it" or you don't "get it." And by "get it," I don't mean "Oh, you just don't 'get' Evangelion... You don't understand the symbolism..." Let's face it, Lucky Star is essentially just about four adorable girls, living their high school lives, from different economic/cultural backgrounds, their silly conversations, and their cute friends/funny families. That's it. That's all. And I love it. I love that Miyuki-chan can't use eye drops properly. I love that Konata drives the sales guy at the anime/manga store insane. I love that Tsukasa finds enjoyment in repeating "balsamic vinegar." I love that Kagamin has to watch her weight or else she gets chubby, just like "real" girls. That said, I would ask the question, "Why do people like Bleach/Naruto/Hunter x Hunter/any anime series where 100+ episodes focus on becoming stronger, powering up, accumulating more chakra, etc.?" I find the same old shounen plots recycled, the main characters dull, the women (usually) whiny and helpless... Who knows? It's just one type of anime. You either get it or you don't. |

I find the same old shounen plots recycled, the main characters dull, the women (usually) whiny and helpless... its a perfect point of view!! i dont hate shounen series but one's plot is absolutely close to others and same old power-up things.. i prefer watching 4 girls that are so ordinary but too cute funny^ |

| I enjoyed it. It was a laid back slice of life, relaxing, with a few laughs here and there |
