    I originally watched lucky star on UA-cam back in 2007. I initially watched it because I was completely obsessed with the opening theme lol. I was fourteen and just falling headfirst into both the internet and anime.( when I actually knew what anime was). I thought pokemon was just a really cool cartoon as a little kid, same with cardcaptors, yugioh, sailor noon, and digimon. I later got super invested in manga and now my collection for both is just a bit overwhelming. Now I have to rewatch my Lucky Star blu ray again. Great video. P.S. The linkin park amvs were watched religously by me as well. They were freaking everywhere.

    Definitely one of my favorite anime, after i first watched it more than a decade ago i decided to watch most of the anime it made reference to and then rewatched it a decade later, loved it like it was the first time again. Can't wait to watch it again after a few more years when another decade finishes.

    I somehow missed this entire era of anime, as it came at a major turning point for my life in 2008. (I got married that year) But years later, I was looking for a very specific kind of anime, I wanted something that was similar to Azumanga Daioh, one of my favorites, and Lucky Star kept coming up. So I decided to check it out and ended up loving it. I'd say that I even ended up liking Lucky Star more than Azumanga Daioh. It's a very interesting, silly, and unique kind of anime and I really enjoyed the main cast and their interactions. Konata is kind of shameless anime fan pandering but it still worked on me anyway.

  • @whome9842
    @whome9842 Рік тому +15

    One thing that many people don't stop to think is that the characters are actually subversion of the labels Konata apply to them, she only call them that because she is an Otaku. Kagami is actually a caring sister and her slightly harsh side towards Konata are not a silly attempt to hide her feelings but a direct response to Konata's teasing. When Konata is not messing with her they hold a normal friendship, play games together and share stuff they like. Miyuki sure is cutesy clumsy but also is knowledgeable and diligent, the person they rely on when they need someone more knowledgeable. Konata is neither childish acting like a toddler nor is the flat short angry girl jealous of the better endowed girls, she is a total geek who works part time besides going to school, is confident and proud of her own body and likes to mess with her friends. And finally Akira who is an actual kid who acts all cutesy but that is just a facade, she is actually an angry delinquent-like, foul mouthed and abusive.This show is actually a deconstruction of the moe genre where characters are labeled in show and yet don't really fit on the labels applied to them.

    So I went from watching shows like Bratz, to Winx Club, to MyScene, to Lucky Star, Azumanga Daioh, K-ON then uh My Little Pony. I'm a girl that loved watching shows about girl groups of friends because I aspired to have a girl group but honestly they're kind of hard to come by x.x Anyhow I think the adult male writer of Lucky Star actually captured how real girls acted pretty well as a contrast to K-ON which I felt like was this weird idealization of how girls are apparently just cute 24/7. The characters in LS were framed by archetypes, but had more complexity and nuance beyond those archetypes just as well. I loved how several girls that were all kind of different (a nerd, basic girl, bookworm, and well idk exactly what you'd call Kagami) but still hung out and either found common ground or entertained conversations about the kind of stuff they were into. Miyuki was a ditz, but actually really smart and Konata was like something that society would want one to be ashamed of, yet she was proud of. Meanwhile Kagami to me was pretty relatable not for her personality, but because she was into nerdy things, but also very much a regular girl at the same time. Tsukasa too..she was like a side character almost that was self aware that she was a side character.
    Idk why but it bothers me when shows that show just how multi-faceted people are like Haruhi and Lucky Star are grouped into like 'moe trash for dudes to get off to' cause to me idk, it's the shows that kind of copied or were inspired by those shows that were more like that.

    I don't think that Aya Hirano would pose a barrier to a second season. All of the drama that stemmed from her trying to position herself as an idol died down a long time ago and she's continued to get work in the anime industry. It was an unfortunate time for her career to lose momentum considering how much of an it-girl she was then, but you can't really say that somebody whose still able to play roles like Lucy from Fairy Tail to this day is blacklisted or even doing badly.

    Lucky Star was such a Legendary God-Send. Though to be frank, a season 2 produced this far in this day n age would have me worried, cos replicating talents one to one is a causality-breaking feat along with possibilities of a retcon.

    Bro! You must checkout general Warhammer 40k lore. I watched 1 hour intro video and was blown away!!!! I never played or seen anything about it before.

    Patricia had the worst voice actress in the Lucky Star English dub, by far.

    Reminds me of when Randomdce did a "handy dandy guide" on how to make Lucky Star "watchable, enjoyable, and complaint free"

    Most of my Japan cultural knowledge come from this show. I gain a lot from the reference and ending songs. Sadly this is not my favorite show now since I haven’t watch it for some year. I don’t want to trap from it and keep rewatching.
    Also great artist for kagami fan-art: ichimirenge
