Anime: Lucky Star
Genre: Comedy, Slice of Life

Initial Thoughts:

So I picked this one up for viewing as just a trial show. The main incentive for me to even get the first episode was because it was being subbed by a familiar sub group. The show has one crazy opening sequence, but I didn’t really like it. It was different from the norm, so I’ll give them that. As for the story, there’s really no story. It truly is a show that is just about life. So we have this one girl named Konata Izumi who excels in sports and academics, but doesn’t want to do any more than she has to because she rather spends her time playing games and watching anime. For some reason, this strikes a chord with my life.

There are its funny moments, but a great disappointment occurred in the first episode when the show latched on to this one scene and it just went on forever. Also, I’m not a fan of chibi drawn characters, which this show is completely drawn as throughout.

So what do I think?

So far I watched two episodes. It’s not bad, but it’s not great. Probably something I’ll discontinue if the humor factor does not get any better or if I miss an episode. As for a recommendation, if you want to watch it, be my guest. It’s a very neutral and very niche show. A lot of people are turned off by it, while others love it. Basically, it will be a hit or miss.
