So I think I’ve watched enough to determine that I really like Lucky Star. Apparently, a lot of people hate it, but oh well.

Lucky Star is a lot like Azumanga Daioh; it follows four high school girls through school. They talk about random crap. No, really, there is a ten minute scene of them just talking about food. The thing that makes this series entirely different is Konata.

Konata is a crazy otaku/hardcore gamer. She spends ridiculous money on manga and anime, tanks into late hours in her MMO, and rofflepwns everyone at games. She’s lazy and pulls all nighters and does decently. And so, Lucky Star is awesome for its gaming and anime jokes.

I think the thing that I’ve learned from Lucky Star is that while gaming and anime are much more normal in Japan than they are here, crazy otaku and hardcore gamers are still weird people. What that means is, for all of you who’s dream is to go to Japan and live among your own kind, you’ll still be weird.

Also, Aya Hirano voices Konata. And she also sings in the OP. And the OP is awesome. I would describe it as Hare Hare Yukai on crack.

Overall, Lucky Star is KAWAII!!!! ^_^ and funny. Even if it’s not the best thing evar, it’s still good.
