Lucky Star - Review

Lucky Star was the first real slice of life/comedy hybrid anime I watched. The anime follows the daily life of the four girls above and any other peers they interact with. While it isn't jumping with action or utterly dramatic, the anime has several funny moments. The storyline (if there really is one) is quite vague in the sense that one episode may have no real lead into the next and so on and so forth. As such, the episodes often are just a daily look at the lives of four high school girl characters, what they go through, what they laugh about, what they talk about in general, and how they get along all around.

Overall I feel that Lucky Star is the anime that really set my sights in the slice of life genre. Amusement is plentiful in Lucky Star as well as a couple other slice of life animes I've watched since then. The art is far from being sub par as well, and the comedy, well... that's essentially the purpose of Lucky Star: to make viewers laugh. Despite most of the jokes being fairly immature or average, I got a good chuckle out of most, if not all of them, even when it may not have been purposely exaggerated as a joke.
