so basically lucky star is the 2000s otaku version of those videos of slime with family guy playing in the background while a text to speech voice reads a reddit post
Yes, it is.
Except a lot more enjoyable
But actually entertaining.
@ idk personally i like to think that ipad kids who watch those videos feel the same joy that i felt when i watched lucky star for the first time
Lucky Star was the first real anime I watched after Pokemon and it was when I saw a family friend of mine draw some characters (idk who it was) in 2015. Considering my favourite genre of anime has consitently been slice-of-life, I'd say it has left a lasting impression on me and my taste. I think I've rewatched it like 5 times over the year and I would consider it my comfort show.
wait, if you talked about it in 2014 and spread it around the anime community... and i found out about it through a person in the anime community in 2015... has my anime journey come full circle?
@@allelon8284Not sure. But Lucky Star is the anime that you don't talk about to weebs out there. When they ask, you just say it's a good show and don't elaborate. If they think the anime is boring, then hit them with the "you expected a harem and not an anime where girls are actual girls, doofus". Because these weebs just think that anime should always have one male lead meeting a group of girls that should fall in love with that male lead and for "their" "best girl" to win. Talking about lame.
Lucky Star showed me that i enjoy talking about the mundane, and it doesn't matter who is doing the talking. A small part of myself felt ashamed when I was younger for enjoying this show, but looking back, I had little to worry about.
I know that this is a pretty generic comment but I just wanna say that I appreciate the contents you make a lot
AAAA! thank you for making another lucky star video, I’ve waited 4 this day for many moons.
I wrote a really long comment about my love for the show and then deleted it because it was too much of a mess but lucky star kicks so much ass for having the characters talk about such a brevity of subjects and make them feel like real teen girls being stressed out over things like periods at the beach, their weight gain and loss and actually talking about and attempting to date boys
been hoping for more lucky star RUclips content from you for a long time. super fun getting to relive my love for the show with you!
Glad you enjoy it!
@@Trixiethegoldenwitch have you seen the new lucky star stuff?
@@Trixiethegoldenwitchdid you see the video by Doktor Skipper why Godzilla doesn't work in America to see how god awful this video is due to bad pacing and zero research?
@@TrixiethegoldenwitchI'll give you time no need to rush you
Anime with good jokes = comedy anime.
Anime with bad jokes = slice-of-life anime.
That's the foremost legacy of Lucky Star.
This reminds me why I had such a huge hyperfixiation on this show. I’m not too big on moe anymore but I still have a HUGE soft spot for this show. The opening, the style, the character designs and colors of the show are still so charming to me today.
I haven't even watched the show outside of clips here and there, but that's one thing I've always liked. The art style adds so much to the show for me and is perfect for its genre.
@@urphakeandgey6308is the Lucky Star art style better than most modern triple A game photo realistic graphics?
Man, this show takes me back. I graduated back in 2010 and even then, the Lucky Star dance and the Suzumiya ending theme dances were crazy popular among members of my school's anime club. They even convinced most of the club to learn the Lucky Star dance, though I'm not sure how successful they were at pulling off a full performance lol
I’ve watched Lucky Star across many times in my anime watching years. And I only enjoy it more and more as time goes on because of how much I understand or even relate to it even as an adult. When I watched it in my early teens, I didn’t get most the references nor even so much of the anime references but now in my late twenties. I find a different comfort in watching it just as a casual watch.
I agree it’s no masterpiece or classic that everyone needs to watch but I do love it and have immense care of it because of how it’s evolved over my life time.
Also just a brief note that I also love that the dub cast really worked hard to keep a lot of the jokes via Haruhi and Konata dub voices the same as well as other parallels they did with the seiyuu to the voice cast. Dubs are always hit or miss but I’ve always felt like this one had a ton of passion behind the choices.
Appreciate the comparison to other shows; there are so many I haven't seen yet... I just started watching Pani Poni and I think it's absolutely hysterical
Lucky Star brings back quite alot of nostalgic memories. The first time I encountered Lucky Star was through sheer luck of exploring the Japanese youtube trending tab and watching full raw episodes. I didn't really know what was going on but enjoyed the cute hand gesturing enough to search for subbed episodes through anidb/uTorrent if there weren't any episodes on youtube.
I don't really have much to say about Lucky Star as to me it was a introduction to moe/slice of life anime. This video does a great job contextualizes alot of stuff I missed such as: the shift in directors, change in voice cast drama, obscure references, etc.
On a separate topic, I had a friend who was into the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya. He recommended it to me but I never did watch it for whatever reason. I am not sure if I recommended Lucky Star to him but I do remember corrupting him into the furry fandom when I discovered that he was interested in anime solely for catgirls. As a half joke, I recommended him Tom Fischbach's twokinds webcomic. My friend ended up loving the webcomic and plunged straight into the furry fandom which gave me just enough of a nudge me from being a closeted furry into becoming a active member.
Probably shaped my future into plunging into mlp:FiM and then back to the furry fandom while tuning into the occasional anime.
While Lucky Star didn't invent the cute girls doing cute things show, I do think it may have mainstreamed it. I actually decided to skip the show after watching the first fansubbed episode when it was first released and largely decided to give it another chance a few years later due to liking shows that it pretty obviously inspired and I'm glad I did. As I'm currently enjoying RPG Real Estate, I'm glad that this sort of show never really went away even fifteen years later.
I disagree that Lucky Star "mainstreamed" it, although it probably helped popularize it more. I think the show that truly "mainstreamed" the moe style was Azumanga Daioh. It had a huge impact on both Japanese memes and international memes. Osaka having a southern accent in the dub also helped cement it as a meme.
While I was watching Free! Eternal Summer, I was pleased to find that they inserted a skit where the characters recreate the meaningless Choco Cornet conversation while introducing the next episode! That made me so happy, because Lucky Star was my favorite anime as a kid and Free! became my favorite as an adult
I would look forward to an outfit review video. I'm find myself pretty happy with being male and the social roles that go along with it, but there are certainly aspects of culture that I just wasn't "allowed" to experience. Fashion is one of them, and I find myself pretty jealous that women get so many options (not that I want to wear women's clothes, but rather I wish men had a similar variety), and wish I had developed a fashion sense in my earlier years to better appreciate it. Any show that has the characters change outfits regularly (gochiusa, lucky star, monogatari) is a huge plus and your analysis on the matter would definitely add to my experience.
this is why i love bad bunny, he's a cishet man who regularly wears all kinds of clothes including skirts and dresses for no other reason than because he wants to. (basically, he is succeeding at what harry styles is trying to do, god bless his heart)
When it comes to fashion I remember my friend's younger brother. He wore all kinda men's fashion switching it up so many styles I never knew what he was gonna do next. Just part of growing up I guess and trying to find the clothes that make the man. His big bro seemed set to always have a vest. Trying to hide that gut I guess.
I loved my gut as it balanced me out from hulking too much but I still went sleeveless for movement and cuz it's so hot. Anyway, no matter what I did couldn't stop people from coming by to flex on me. They're trying to compete when I didn't just skip leg day I skipped every day. Just born this way with my uncles saying, "Look at all those muscles he got from lifting blankets and pillows." as I slept all day. lol
I never noticed Konata as a self insert till now. I'm no runner but yeah thinking about it I had what other people were working to get.
Outfit changes were something I noticed immediately from Mabel's character in gravity falls. It was such a simple detail, but it was fun and I loved it. Plus, it means the animators had to put in extra work.
What's funny is I always wear plain clothes, but I enjoy details like this in shows.
This video inspired me to watch this show and it became one of my favorites of all-time.
You're not projecting Konata and Kagami are my OTP for life
Can’t wait, you were the one who got me to watch Lucky Star years ago and I loved it
As someone who saw this as a kid and still loves Lucky Star as a 24 year old man I appreciate knowing I'm not the only one who was obsessed with this😅
While love hina was my first anime that I went out of my way to consume, rather than just watching whatever aired on sattelite, lucky star was basically my 2nd or 3rd japanese audio series. I have soft spots for a lot of 2000's anime. probably not the ones other people have, for instance, I didn't really watch full metal alchemist or escaflowne, but I did watch lucky star, which should surprize other people, imagine never hearing about japan, never learning about anime, and only passively consuming tv shows airing in my country, not even realizing they were japanese, and ending up watching all of love hina, haruhi suzumiya and lucky star.
for me, I feel like Lucky Star ends up being more of a meditative experience. I think there are certain pieces of media that I'll watch which kind of model simplicity, and I particularly need that when there's a source of mental stress that's been hard on me in my real life. maybe I'm starting to feel either too overwhelmed by my life's myopic little complexities, or too upset by things that are out of my control. maybe things are difficult at work and it's too easy to imagine that nobody cares about me unless there's a reason to get mad at me, or maybe something tense is going on in my family, or something sad or stressful is going on with someone's health... it's easy to let these things weigh on your mind at like, _all_ hours of the day.
but these pieces of media imagine a world that is _selectively_ realistic. the dialogue is realistic in terms of the topics of conversation, or people repeating things for the benefit of a late arrival to the scene, and the setting is pretty realistic... they aren't in a fantasy world, they're just going to school. it's important for the show to be convincing on this level, because you need to let yourself settle into its vibes... to the point where you don't notice, or don't mind, that it nudges things ever so slightly away from the realm of real stressors. the girls have some small annoyances to recreationally complain about, sure, but you never feel like something's really gonna hurt you. and it's not as though these things just don't exist in the Lucky Star universe or whatever... they may be there, but that's not what the show is about. the show sets its sights selectively on calm, and only calm. it sets a boundary that maybe you just can't set for yourself in real life.
as unrealistic as that selectivity may seem, the show keeps your immersion because it sets itself in high school, with kids who lead fairly uncomplicated lives. it lets you believe that their lives actually are that simple and easy, because that expectation isn't outside the realm of possibility for children. the fact that they are too young to have a lot of heavier responsibilities yet, and their families are still sheltering them from a lot of the harsher parts of life, lets you believe that inside the bounds of this show, you'll be in a safe zone away from psychic damage, or having too many buzzing thoughts at once. I meant it when I said it was meditative. you can focus on just one simple topic in "the present" and ground yourself on just that in-the-moment interaction, without puzzling over what groceries you'll have the energy to actually cook for yourself, _while_ thinking about how you have to get gas in the car, _and_ remembering to pay your electric bill, _and_ trying to smooth over a fight your aunt wants you to side with her on against your cousin, _and_ also worrying about how you're gonna fit a mandatory work meeting into your schedule, all at the same time. plus, the fact that all these girls are nerdy in varying degrees, and can talk about their nerd interests with each other, is just the icing on the cake. you may not even know what they're talking about, but they very accurately convey the feeling of sharing your own niche interests with someone who knows them too, and wants to talk about them as well.
and like... I don't always respond to every slice of life or iyashikei story like this... some feel too saccharine, or like they're trying too hard, or some might actually have a little too much going on... but when one hits right, I think that "boundary setting for the sake of calm" is the effect I'm looking for. I get that from old episodes of pokemon too, or like, from certain ghibli movies.
Shout-out to the forgotten gem of the public library because that's how I watched Eva, InuYasha, Lucky Star, Paniponi Dash!, Azumanga Daioh, and others, starting almost two decades ago lol
Not to mention where I read the entirety of Death Note for the first time 🙌🏾
@@OhMaiGuyyou watch Godzilla movies and play Nintendo games?
Man...Whenever I remember Lucky Star, I remember that was back when anime was at the beginning of being mainstream. I missed high school when it was first aired.
I remember those peaceful days. Watching anime on a site with no comments. Not even knowing there was a community out there. Anime just to enjoy all by yourself.
If haruhi is as close as I've seen to a true post modern anime, lucky star is the closest to a post modern comedy moe anime. The first episode with that long drawn out convo about food is a very very self aware poignant commentary on how actual conversation flows amongst actual people vs conversation that's catered towards a structured narrative.
Otaku people are so quick to idolize and project themselves onto these characters when in reality they exist in a vacuum of writing teams and story boards. It's genius, it's on the level of big brain of a show like serial experiments lain and the show doesn't care to hold your hand at all. It's pure brilliance and it's the same kind of big brain fourth wall commentary on our perception of media that makes haruhi so good. Or you can just see it as a cute moe show with funny lewd comedy. It works on so many levels
Haha i think ive seen u on reddit
@@Kidaneh lmao 👋👋👋 I def have
idk why but when u said u had no friends i just started laughing cuz its like the opposite of the "you have no friend insult".
I personally love Lucky Star. It's in unique genre of moe I'll to call "Cute girls doing trivial things", so shows like Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka?, A-Channel, etc. Got to thank Lucky Star for popularizing it I guess lol.
Edit: also kind of hope you cover Nichijou. Show was phenomenally funny.
At home my konata figma points at my sae figma while striking a pose just to keep her and all the wide bros humble.
One of my favorite shows of all time glad you picked it as L. May be representative of the letter L but this is a massive W.
This was fascinating, I'm going to go watch the first 4 episodes.
This is the show that made me decide to try anime again.
lucky star was my very first anime when i was like 8, it totally formed my taste in anime
Ngl I could watch any anime as long as it's enjoyable
When people say "Seinfeld is my favourite anime" this is what they're talking about.
Wow, the first few episodes make so much more sense now!
On the opening of Lucky Star... I literally have a 15 minute remix of it that is the best, high energy, do anything song that I have gladly listened to since 2007. Never watched the show.... but have listened to the main theme more than any other I think. So catchy.

@@magganon its linked above in my reply; or if you don't trust links in comment sections like a normal person, just type in lucky star opening remix.
I think ive just been rejected enough times socially that I'm just completely scared off of any expression beyond just saying what other people want to hear. It hurts.
for me, lucky star is the first anime I genuinely enjoyed. lucky star is peak 🗣🗣🗣
Loved you singing the opening 😂
I got into Lucky Star right as my yuri shipping brain started to truly flourish before I came out to myself as a lesbian so it's somewhat special to me in that more specific regard. The Konami ship is by far one of my earliest anime queer ships that felt somewhere between fanon and canon.
I know I already watched this video, but I just have to watch it again
Welcome back. :)
I love pani poni dash it's one of my top anime and it's the first complete anime series i ever bought
Yes I'm probably one of the only fans here
seinfeld my favorite show, lucky star is a great anime, no complaints on my behalf.
I should rewatch Lucky Star now that I'm a veteran weeb. Back when I first watched it, I'm sure more than half the references in the show flew over my head - hell, I didn't even know it was made by the same studio as Haruhi, nor did I have any idea who Aya Hirano was and her dislike of bass players
It when so boring for 5 episodes, then I suddenly found their charm with the characters tropes. I mean there wasn’t that much progress with them just graduating. But I think it’s just the relatability I get from daily life.
You're definitely right about Pani Poni Dash being unhinged. It's like if you got the abstract gags from Azumanga and turned them up to 11 and then mixed it with moe from Lucky Star. It's also much more fanservicey
I love Lucky Star and I watch it with Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends, Avatar The Last Airbender and The Boondocks.
3:38
Such talent!
Indeed.
This was the first Anime I ever watched, outside of the Toonami animes like DBZ.
12:15 I just can't stop staring at Bonta-kun.
3:39 that sounded arabic lmaooo
I am ashamed to say i knew it by Ytpmv and konata's H-game
Since then i searched with only that
"Ah ta ta ta, ah ta ta, ah ta ta ra ra ra ta ta" part from a certain archaic ytpmv i loved in my mind
Guess i stayed bcs of the ost and the punch in my gut some topics leave you to click after catching up
Kanata's song has strong vibes from the age it aired from, and leaves me crying every time
Maybe it reminds of my past friends and my depression kick in, but then her part of *don't be sad, I'll be quietly coming to greet you* comes and i cry from happiness looking how far i got, glad and thankful for it
There's some stuff that hits me deep sometimes, but i guess i bonded with them over time, like kemono friends
The energy between the staff and characters of both is what got me hooked?
Hm, guess my solitude makes me more observant, or it's just my envy of konata's friendships being so pure.... maybe we are kanata all along, by the way we interact and look out over konata when her dad is not there?
Heh, maybe i am getting old after all...
Or just almost getting ready to be sent to a dimension like this
Still looking for that atata thing till this day
Anyone has a clue?
I always said Lucky star was Seinfeld but with Japanese school girls
I swear people who say this haven't actually seen Seinfeld.
I get that it's a joke and I love both shows, but saying this really discounts the genius of Seinfeld's comedy writing.
While there's no overarching plot, each episode has multiple plot lines that all converge into a stupid beautiful mess at the end of each episode
dammit why didn't this get more views
I think I remember seeing something about the seiyuu for the main character of the spinoff not getting any more roles because people really didn't like her voice acting in it? Will you be mentioning that if you cover the spinoff in another video? I always thought it was sad since I liked her performance, personally.
Oh god, megatokyo, that's a throwback.
i find myself watching miyakawa-ke no kuufuku a lot more than lucky star cuz of the shorter format, love them both tho
I love lucky star it’s in my top 5
thank you

8:57 wtf you just narrated my life
Lucky Star is recorded in front of live audience
3:37 shit made me laugh out loud 🤣
My favourite Lucky ☆ characters are actually Tsukasa and Miyuki.
It's interesting to hear you talk about lucky star's lackluster initial reception. Becoming an anime fan in the very late 00s and early 10s, I almost couldn't escape lucky star. It makes me wonder how much of an influence memes and turn of the decade Internet culture had on my perception of it's popularity.
The internet is really good at isolating you into a group of people that all think the same. I'm forever astounded at the popularity of "trash" and the complete ignorance of "classics" but the reality is I'm probably a part of a small subgroup that doesn't actually have a lot of influence and is wildly outnumbered by other subgroups, insulated from really talking to each other.
God i love lucky star

great video that makes me reflect a lot on my taste on anime comedies that still baffles even myself to this day because I for the most part don't like this show but I would never call it bad I can see why it resonates with certain people just not with me I prefer shows like genshiken more but at the same time I love fmp fomofu it is one of my favorite anime comedies but I hate azumanga diao and excel sage it was a slog to me to get through both but I love pani pony dash to this day I can't make sense of that also I can't really pass to much judgement on anyone who likes any of these shows I don't like cause I love hayate the combat butler to this day but upon rewatch I can admit I think it is funny cause I get most of what is it referencing as opposed to most who don't and in reality you can't unless you were big on anime at the time when it first came out which can be said for lucky star as well and all those other shows I don't care for so at the end of the day judging anybody for their taste in comedy is a fruitless endeavor since comedy is way too subjective for anyone to make sense of anyway great video it definitely helped me appreciated this anime more and anime comedies in general
Ever since I ran into this show in 2011, when I was 13 at the time, I held the BIGGEST grudge against this anime. Even after I watched ALL 24 episodes in the sad hopes that it'd have SOME substance. It wasn't until about a year ago that I finally decided to let my hatred for "Lucky Star" go. Realizing that this grudge is unhealthy. Nowadays I'm simply indifferent to "Lucky Star".
I love the show. The characters are dear to me because I have never had and currently have no friends
@@sebp9882 That's nice.
Shoutout to Puni Puni Poemi for also being a zany madcap early 2000s anime comedy that deserves a lil bit more recognition. It is "What if Excel Saga but even more and also magical girl and 2 episodes long." Was it 2 episodes, actually? I don't remember. It was just one very very pink DVD back in the day.
It was indeed a 2-ep OVA, I believe it was technically an Excel Saga spinoff, but I remember enjoying it a lot more. Due for a rewatch probably.

Lucky Star is better in the manga since there are no advertisement scenes. There is a chance that the anime will have to be cut short for re-releases to never require repaid licensing to companies who own the series being used. The manga also introduced other girls never being introduced in the anime. Kyoto Animation is a sell-out anime studio.
I think Lucky Star's manga is pretty bad but you're right about KyoAni. They fucked Haruhi S2 up (and by extension the whole franchise) and then every single show after that was an attempt to recapture the magic (K-On, Hyouka, Chuunibyou) and when that failed they just cut all ties with Kadokawa and just made 'safe' and boring anime while the entire world moved on. Meanwhile fans are still waiting for proper closure with shows like Haruhi or FMP. We never got that.
@@Mahoromatic K-ON!, Chuunibyou Season 1 and the movie, Hyouka, and Hibike are still great, but I am fine with other anime studios like ufotable remaking Lucky Star to be like the manga similar to Toei Animation remaking Sailor Moon for Sailor Moon Crystal. Satelight did a great job with the Yuki Nagato OVA by making the Endless Eight a single episode.
Kyoto Animation is never a fan service studio as we thought, especially when there is stuff left out (Koe no Katachi, and even K-ON!), and letting Sony/Funimation change the Maid Dragon dialogue against the literal translation that even anime fans who hate the anime hated the version too.
@@LuigiTheMetal64 Lucky Star is the kind of show that would never get remade. Especially not by Ufotable whose profit solely derives from type/moon works.
The best you can hope is Haruhi gets a reboot (which I doubt is up to KyoAni, else they'd have done it 10 years ago).
"And most likely used to ship them"
... I mean... I AM a shipper.
the first 4 episodes of Lucky Star are, to me, the absolute best the show has to offer. They do things that moe SoL anime beyond Lucky Star have never reproduced (probably in part because they weren't financially successful) and stand as, in a way, a genre of their own. I really do love them, and they'll hold a special place in my heart for the rest of my life.
Great video! Good to see you cover this series.
Glad you enjoy it!

When I watched LS for the first time I made a terrible choice. I liked the main character and could relate to her to a point, and decided to have her as role model
That didn't go well, at all and though a funny story it really did impact my life in a bad way and my dumbass self could only see that years after watching it
You should check out 300 Slime anime.
My personal conspiracy theory about the firing of Yamakan has to do more with the realities of production than the reputation he has acquired via Twitter years later.
The first episode of Lucky Star had 16 Key Animators if I remember correctly. 16. That might not seem so weird to those who have seen any non-KyoAni shows with a ton of Key Animators and multiple Animation Directors per episode, but in the case of Lucky Star and KyoAni this is not normal.
There is nothing warranting that many Key Animators in the first episode of Lucky Star. KyoAni has produced way more complex and action packed episodes with less animators before and after Lucky Star. An average amount of animators per episode at KyoAni is about 6-8. Lucky Star EP 19 having only 2 (Tomoe Aratani-san and Yukiko Horiguchi-san.)
So, why the episode about how to eat chocolate cornets requires double of their usual staff?
Easiest conclusion would be that Yamakan fell WAY behind schedule with the show.
It seems likely that he took way more time with the production than scheduled and the producers panicked facing the very real prospect that the show would not make its’s air date.
The fact that they had to scramble together all available Key Animators, both from KyoAni and Animation Do in Osaka tells me that they were struggling to get the show done in time.
And Yamakan is not a stranger to missing deadlines, as he lampooned himself doing just that in Senyuu’s EP 9.
Also, in an interview with Eisaku Kawanami-san and Takuya Yamamura-san, they especially mentioned the production of Lucky Star being quite a busy period of time.
Almost crashing a production would in my mind be a reason enough to change directors mid-show.
And it would explain KyoAni’s statement that “Yamakan has not reach the level of director yet” of “Yamakan doesn’t have the skills to be director yet” (I’ve seen it translated both ways.)
The other popular theory is that he got kicked out for harassment. And Yamakan has made some concerning tweets that don’t really help his case. The only thing I’m a bit sceptical about is that if Yamakan had indeed done something illegal, I do think KyoAni would have gotten the police involved. Had he harassed their employees I doubt they would have “just” fired him.
But on the other hand, his disturbing statements speak for themselves.
That's really interesting, and I didn't know any of that. Thanks for the info.
Very good theory!
@@Trixiethegoldenwitch Thank you! 😊
It's interesting that you chose Lucky Star and have such a positive relationship to it. Back when I was getting into anime I remember it as the show to watch if you were a 'real otaku', and previously as a heavy shonen watcher it was so unappealing to me just cause only 3 eps were out and I found them all so boring. To me it used to be such a beacon of 'annoying elitist taste'.
I definitely appreciate what Lucky Star has to offer alot more now though so I'll give it a revisit ^^ thanks for talking about it :3

@@TrixiethegoldenwitchI'll give you time to answer my question
Sorry, I thought I had answered the question by implication of the fact that I like Lucky Star and didn't care for The Force Awakens. If you need a direct answer: yes, Lucky Star is infinitely better, more culturally relevant and important and likable than the Star Wars sequels.
Howtf is it infamous
You'll have to watch the video and find out!
Personally, I thought the Lucky Star OVA was pretty weak. I'd go so far to say that, were it a regular episode of the show, it'd be the most boring one in the series.
I need those outfit review videos, but completely disagree with you on how practical they are to wear. Everything is practical if you want to look cute and share it with everyone!

She haven’t finished monster. Mob and mia are probably too new to be considered classics. Mononoke is probably front runner with monogatari being second( because of it’s influence on light novels and anime culture)
Okay, cool and all, but what the fuck is 9:00 and 10:00. Like dude, you need a therapist.
Lmfao, seriously.
I had a therapist.

Probably true; mine died in a plane he crashed. He was very conservative so he probably would never have thought to tell me to transition, which actually helped me mentally.
as someone that loves kyoani to hell i think lucky star was pretty mediocre and i didn't laugh a single time to one of the jokes
My least favorite part was konata's dad and his very questionable behavior
Hi! Great video. Please never sing again.
Great video! Lucky Star happened to be one of the first anime I watched (I got into anime in 2008 so it was really popular at the time) and it’s references were almost a road map into more anime for me. I wonder what would be equivalent for people getting into anime now.
I love that stupid show
Oh the letter l
I’m so glad it’s this one.
The second anime that you cover since the beginning of the series that is on my 3x3 ( the other one is cardcaptor)
G-witch, i think you might be out of touch.
I don’t love lucky star, but I love lucky star existing. I’m one of the people that was introduced to pointless meandering anime by this show. While I can never get through this show, it’s another example of what makes anime such a fun medium to explore. It gave us a show more slow and pointless then Seinfeld!!!
PS to give lucky star a break I also don’t like Seinfeld
I'm looking forward to the outfit ranking!
Me too!
