Lucky Star is over
Lucky Star, one of the most CONTROVERSIAL SERIES EVER MADE (for some reason) comes to a close. While I feel it is an uneven work, I never hated it. It had its fair share of great, good and ok episodes. One problem with the show is probaby how it got too caught up in its own phenomenon. I’m talking about all the otaku in-jokes and the like. While I enjoyed a lot of that humour, looking back on it, these things probably weighed the show down. Instead it could have stood to have more warm, sentimental moments, such as those near the end. In general I find that since there was a lack of many real sentimental moments, I found it hard to really attach myself to the show emotionally and have it resonate in my memory. Of course, I’ll never forget Konata, simply because I’m so much like her. But that’s about the only bit of emotional attachment I have for this show. It works as a decent assortment of jokes, character centric or non, but there’s not much past that. Another problem is how dated it’ll feel in like a week.
Despite this very large barbed compliment, it’s a neat piece. I say watch it before it gets too dated, as most of it will fall flat in coming months. I don’t know, maybe I’ll look back on this show fondly in 20 years as a reminder of this period in otaku history, much like otaku from the ’80s look back on Otaku no Video…
Anyway, that’s a wrap for Lucky Star. It’s been fun, but now it’s done. Oh, and just for the record, the Haruhi pimping didn’t bother me one bit.

Werd.
I apparently have no standards and loved it to death from episode 3 or so onward. As I said about Sky Girls, throw enough cute girls in there and I become very forgiving.
I want a 1 Liter SOS-dan soda.
i didnt like what i saw of this.
and i cant watch skygirls anymore.
but charge otokojuku and gurren laggann keep me occupied.
I find all the criticism of the Haruhi moments just ridiculous. If you didn’t get a kick out of Konata cosplaying as Yuki in the last ep, for example, or Patty and Kona-chan’s cafe scene then why the hell were you even watching this show.
I think you’re right. The show did get caught up in itself, and there was certainly a obvious effort to pull away from that in the final third. It was probably too little too late for most people. Overall though, it’s been another great KyoAni experience, and that really is what these guys are giving us, not just another anime.
> I apparently have no standard
congrats you’re qualified to run an anime blog
> but charge otokojuku
whoops
whoops indeed
>Of course, I’ll never forget Konata, simply because I’m so much like her.
I like how a lot of people can say that.
This CONTROVERSIAL series pushed the limits of murder dramas! I am sad to see it go.
“I find all the criticism of the Haruhi moments just ridiculous. ”
I guess they’re mad at the fact that Lucky Star wasn’t the second coming of Haruhi. :P
People will forever remember the dance. I still remember how impressed I was the first time I saw the intro… heck I started watching it just because of that. After that the addiction started. When I thought I had enough, they introduced loli yuris, which made it worse than coccaine ^^;;
>Oh, and just for the record, the Haruhi pimping didn’t bother me one bit.
Thank god there’s people out there who aren’t complaining about the Haruhi pimping. I just can’t see why a lot of people thought it was shameless or whatever.
I’ve fallen behind in Lucky Star. I need to catch up and finish it.
But I get the feeling that when I do finish it, I’ll miss it.
