[font=Arial, sans-serif]Lucky Star[/font]
[font=Arial, sans-serif]Lucky Star is a show made in 2007 by famous Kyoto Animation studio, and it is telling a story about four friends, high school girls that are going through their three last years of school. The anime is filled with scenes from their everyday lives, from school festivals to summer vocations, from New Year activities to copying homework, buying food at cafeteria and having part-time jobs.
So as you can see, for my first review on NBF I decided to pick on of the least controversial series out of what I have watched. Well, what I mean is, this anime doesn't contain gore, violence or adult material. There is no shooting, no fighting, no cursing. People don't go around doing crazy thing, they don't get mistreated or hurt. And you would think there is no way a show like that can make anyone mad or unhappy. But alas, it does, and in fact people are arguing about this show ever since it has been aired.
And why is it causing all those arguments you may ask? well, I've listed the reasons above. Think about it, the show have nothing that people usually find entertaining. There is nothing but mundane things that you experience everyday, so why would you watch it? Many people got bored with this show and dropped it after the first episode. But again you may ask, what is there to argue about? If the show is boring, why people even bother to talk about it?
And the answer is simple. Because there are thousands of people who love this show. Lucky Star is one of the most famous anime of the last decade. What people like about this show? I would say - characters. And I here have to tell you a little about them. First and the most memorable one is Konata, a girls with very long blue hair, obsessed with games and anime. Being smart and good at sports she never employs her talents and study only when she absolutely have too. Her good friend is Kagami, a hardworking and ambitious student with good manners yet quick temper. Kagami's younger sister is Tsukasa. Tsukasa can sleep for 14 hours a day and do nothing while she is awake, she can be easily distracted and you can guess she is not doing well at school. On the other hand she is a really kind and caring person. And the last one is Miyuki, who is, to put it frankly, is more or less a side character. And the fun part of the show is seeing them slowly developing and revealing their personalities, seeing how they deal with the same situations you are used to deal with all the time (or have been used to deal with, if you've finished high school).
So I have been talking for a long time, and it is time for me to say whether or not I recommend you this anime. And I don't know what to say =) If you like Slice of life genre then definitely yes, watch it. If you hate the genre - then don't. But if you are neutral, then you will have to watch the first episode and see. If you like any of the characters, then chances are you'll like the series. If you don't, then feel free to drop it.
