The Seinfeld of Slice of Life Animes

This is one of the few anime in the Slice of Life genre that I would genuinely consider a classic due to the easy going atmosphere carried by the entire cast. The voice acting is intelligent and very good at the back and forth commentary making at some hilarious situations. I personally consider it to be a spiritual successor to Azumanga Daioh but with slightly faster pace and a bit more tongue in cheek for the humor.

Shows like Nichijou were built from a fanbase that developed through these earlier shows. Showing that sometimes it isn't about the ending but about enjoying the journey.

I hope you enjoy this show as much as I did during the initial run!

A classic slice-of-life / comedy that's worth a watch

By dutchgun on Oct 29, 2017 - See all reviews by dutchgun

Lucky Star is a slice-of-life classic. Don't expect any zany hi-jinks, surreal interludes, or mysterious talking cats. It's four girls (with a few additions later) talking about ordinary topics. It's a bit hard to explain the appeal of the show when it sounds just so... ordinary? Dull, even? Honestly, the girls' characters really aren't even all that deep.

Maybe it's the sheer charm that ...

Lucky Star is a slice-of-life classic. Don't expect any zany hi-jinks, surreal interludes, or mysterious talking cats. It's four girls (with a few additions later) talking about ordinary topics. It's a bit hard to explain the appeal of the show when it sounds just so... ordinary? Dull, even? Honestly, the girls' characters really aren't even all that deep.

Maybe it's the sheer charm that shows through in the end. Maybe it's the fantastic opening song and dance number which is hilarious all by itself. Maybe it's just how the show revels in the ordinary, and shows off how even the ordinary can be a lot of fun with the right perspective.

One caveat though... I never understood the appeal of the Lucky Channel schtick at the end of each episode. Who are those two, and why should I care? I typically just skip past it at the end, as it's literally the same gag every time.

Whatever the magic, however it works, if you're a fan of the slice-of-life genre, this definitely has to go on your must-watch list.

#146. Small talk for dummies.

By Phrecklez on Oct 5, 2018 - See all reviews by Phrecklez

A simple yet fun slice of life comedy about four girls, well, just talking. The girls talk about trends, typical daily tasks, odd situations, school life, essentially a lot of small talk that can go on for a good while. Also there is a lot of Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya references, like, a lot. If you don't like characters just having conversations/small talk with friends and family, then ...

Also there is a lot of Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya references, like, a lot. If you don't like characters just having conversations/small talk with friends and family, then this isn't for you. If you're like me and slice of life is your jam, then you may find some entertainment here in Lucky☆Star.

Stop missing the point

By margaretgertrude on Jan 20, 2018 - See all reviews by margaretgertrude

This is a great show to watch while eating, playing phone games, or when you are sleepy and trying to relax. The overly serious "reviews" people have given this laid back Slice of Life show are missing the entire purpose of shows like this.

This show is The Great British Bake Off. This show is The Joy of Painting. This show is just something you watch because it's there, and thats why it's ...

This show is The Great British Bake Off. This show is The Joy of Painting. This show is just something you watch because it's there, and thats why it's there. It isn't there to give you plot, it isn't there for (large) amount of character developments, and sometimes it isn't even there for gags.

It's a cute, light palette cleanser. The humor isn't sexual. Cute Girls Doing Cute Things 100% and nothing else.

Liked it a lot more than I thought

By asdfguy86 on Jul 11, 2018 - See all reviews by asdfguy86

I'll be honest here, at first I wasn't really into Lucky Star from watching the first 2 or so episodes, so I gave up on it for a while. I started getting a decent amount of recommendations to finish the series as it would apparently get a lot better after episode 5 and on, and I am glad I took that advice. This show is jam-packed with references to stuff, most of which I caught on to, giving me ...

I'll be honest here, at first I wasn't really into Lucky Star from watching the first 2 or so episodes, so I gave up on it for a while. I started getting a decent amount of recommendations to finish the series as it would apparently get a lot better after episode 5 and on, and I am glad I took that advice. This show is jam-packed with references to stuff, most of which I caught on to, giving me some laugh out loud moments.

TL;DR I'm glad I decided to finish this series

I hate writing titles for these reviews. I'm not some literary genius who can come up with some clever Lucky Star-related quip before writing a review.

By notyurinotinterested on Apr 22, 2018 - See all reviews by notyurinotinterested

Real talk, this show is actually good. It's impressive to me that something like this, where literally nothing happens (that's not an exaggeration, nothing happens) can be this entertaining. This is the only slice of life show that accurately portrays daily life, and it's honestly impressive. It had to have taken some serious guts to release something like this.

The best classic slice of life anime

By ItzYaPancake on Apr 9, 2018 - See all reviews by ItzYaPancake

Lucky Star is a classic i would say. It heavily references The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya so if your about to watch Lucky Star watch Haruhi first (you'll understand the references a lot more.). Konata is voiced by Aya Hirano who also voiced Haruhi. but anyway it is a typical slice of life comedy depicting the funny and bizarre adventures the four girls go on. All the girls have a great ...

Konata is voiced by Aya Hirano who also voiced Haruhi. but anyway it is a typical slice of life comedy depicting the funny and bizarre adventures the four girls go on. All the girls have a great personality and all work together well to make it in my eyes the best classic slice of life anime.

The best story without a true plot

By itco on Oct 30, 2017 - See all reviews by itco

Lucky Star is by far the best show I've seen that doesn't have a real conflict but at the same time just kinda captivates the small joys in everyday life. It's a good show to bring you back to life after watching shows that have a deeper and heavier story, or a great show to watch in between other shows because honestly not much happens. I never get tired of the characters shenanigans as well as ...

I never get tired of the characters shenanigans as well as the overall, in your face slice of life feel.

By Rocket_Otaku on Jan 12, 2019 - See all reviews by Rocket_Otaku

even thought funmations has this anime, lucky star is one of the greatest anime to ever have been released! The only problem is that there is not another season to watch. This got me into anime and will always be the best anime ever. Konata is best girl ever

However....
fucking Sony is a bitch. They bought funimation and ended the deal with crunchyroll. Because Lucky star is owned by funimation, you can no longer watch it on crunchyroll. so basically thanks for shoving cacti up our asses and saying, oh you want to see these anime?!?!?!? well you have to come and pay money to the big corporate dirt bags, ha ha, fuck you!
but this is a great anime. if anyone ever reads this, find anyway to watch it, it is amassing. (just dont pirate please because that's illegal and we need to show support towards the creators. Even though its not half as bad as what Sony did, still dont do it.)
