You cant complain about 13 reasons why when you got shows like Death Note, Another, Higurashi, etc. Just takes some creativity taking the prominent arrogance of Americans, especially New York Arrogance, in consideration as opposed to the prominent Japanese social awkwardness.

@@gardenagnostic Perhaps in art style, true, but characters in Lucky Star(both Manga and Anime) referenced and discussed real life quirks of living in Japan at the time, and reacted to and commented on events as they happened in real life during both their runs. The end result is that both Class of 09 and Lucky Star end up being really good period pieces - ironically with the C09 being the more artificial one as it was made to intentionally emulate a past time period, while LS simply tried to capture the spirit of its time and did it so fervently, it ended up dating itself without meaning to.

Co09 is goofy fun, but it wouldn't work if you would switch people in and out because the comedy is personality based and the personalities are over the top to make the comedy work in the first place. Change something and you ruin it. I would say that Co09 becomes way more dated than Lucky Star because in the latter it's just people interacting. I would say that Lucky Star is timeless, even.
