Lucky Star

Leave it to Mac to nominate one of the few series that I've actually seen in full and rated favorably... and also I watched it so long ago that I barely remember anything about it. Okay. I'll do my best.

Is this series funny? That's a difficult question to answer. There were certainly parts that made me laugh. There were also entire episodes where I didn't laugh at anything that happened in the entire episode until the end segment which was basically almost its own entirely separate show. I think if I tried to watch this show again now I would have a verrrryyyyy difficult time getting through it.

Is it engaging? Probably not particularly. When I watched this show the first time I didn't have much going on in my life. I was often looking for ways to kill time and a series like this would have filled that niche. I think it's just entertaining enough that you can put it on and enjoy it. If there are certain aspects about Lucky Star that appeal especially to you then it might be even easier to get sucked in.

I remember thinking that Kagami acting tsundere toward Konata was really cute and this is likely one of those 'aspects' that would have kept me watching the show just to see what happened next. In truth, a lot has changed in the last decade. Yeah, it's been almost ten years since I've seen this show. Okay, so, first of all, there are a lot more series which have light shipping moments between cute female characters. In fact I would say almost every comedy series that comes out lately includes this aspect to some degree. I've honestly become so desensitized to it that I likely would never again consider it a point in favor of a show or against a show. It's just something that happens in every anime now.

With that in mind you have to ask the question of whether their specific relationship dynamic was very compelling or unique. Does it stand the test of time? For me... no. This series sits at an 8/10 which is the top barrier for most comedy anime as far as I'm concerned. Yet I know in my heart that if I tried to watch it again now that score would plummet. Best to just leave classics like this buried so that I don't have to face what it really was; a mediocre with some good qualities. Something I could never sit through 24 episodes of today.
