In the first episode, two cute girls sit down to lunch and begin discussing a chocolate cornet. A third girl joins them and their conversation becomes a heated discussion about various types of food. As Konata, the blue-topped otaku, explains the awkward moments of staring at the last piece of steak on a serving plate, we smile and stop to think: "Hey, that happened to me!"
Much of the show's humor is derived from real experiences and throwing in a myriad of colorful characters. Every time I could relate to these girls, I smiled to myself. The four main characters all have their own opinions, dreams, and behavior, taking conversations into all sorts of directions.
Shout-outs bring in more fans, but they flow TERRIBLY with the show. The shout-outs are nothing more than "Hey, there's Haruhi on TV. How silly." Most shout-outs appear to be blatant product-placement for other Kyoto Animation shows.
As the show goes on, Seinfeld-esque conversations lessen as the characters begin to DO more and talk less, creating more genuinely funny moments, but it still keeps the same Slice-of-Life charm. More characters introduced later react and contribute to each event in their own special way reflective of their mannerisms.
Seinfeld-like discussions are often a hit-or-miss. There are times when you will laugh and reminisce along with the characters, and there are the times when you will be screaming at your screen in frustration, waiting for their boring dialogue to be over.
The three-minute ending segment, called "Lucky Channel", appears to be a polar opposite of Lucky Star. Its fast-paced humor, Straight Man and Funny Guy routine, progressive storyline, and tasteful satire of live-action ending segments of TV shows makes it worth waiting for.
These characters each take matters in their own special ways, but each character is no different from other anime stereotypes that you encounter time and time again. As for the art, the style is very distinctive, although some designs are a bit generic.
Lucky Star's cute characters will draw you in immediately, while the distinctive humor will take patience to get used to, but it is a show worth watching.
Take the bad, take the good, take a deep breath, and take a dive into Moe Moe Seinfeld.
