Review of Lucky Star

Lucky Star (2007–2008)
9/10
This one deserves more love
29 February 2020
I suppose a 10-star rating is excessive, but I really like this anime. It's very funny, very self-aware, and I love the references to other anime and anime cliches (the one they reference the most? Haruhi Suzimiya obviously....XD). The characters are quite likable too, at least to me.

In the midst of all the funny, there is one episode (Ep. 22) that is more heartfelt and brought tears to my eyes. And I always give bonus points to shows that can make me laugh and cry at the same time, so I really appreciate that about this anime!

All things considered, this anime is approaching 13 years old now which is unbelievable. The sad moments in all of Kyoto Animations work are all the more sad since July 18 2019, when the arson attack happened. The final death toll was 36, and I'm still very upset by it even after 7 months. If there's any silver lining, it's caused me to appreciate this anime studio's work more and more lately, so hence why I began watching more of KyoAni's works. I will continue to support them until the day I die!!!

Definitely give Lucky Star a watch if you like the moe/slice-of-life genre!
