@@REO_Speedweed i do think its sad that most western anime fans arent hardcore otaku like they were im the 2Ks, but i think gatekeeping is a corny mentality , and we should push and encourage these normies to devote their souls to animanga and become that guy with multi-hundreds of anime completed

I don't care if this is a April Fool's joke. Aisde from K-ON, for me, this *_is the greatest anime ever made_* .

[@not-so-great-oldone9780]

I’m with you, K-On is really good but Lucky Star is special. Have you ever watched Angels 3 Piece? Loli music comedy.

[@yuuichi4356]

I've heard a lot about this anime, but haven't watched it yet. But I am shocked that this is your best anime, Lunar. I didn't expect this thing at all, but now I'm sure you're the type of person who likes lolli girls anime. No matter how strange your taste is, my friend. I respect it and you will always be a amazing KZbinr in my opinion.

[@yunogasai1338]

I originally watched lucky star on KZbin 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.

[@pinkocean310]

Each generation has their nostalgia era and I would fight anyone to go back to mid-2000s to early-2010s times. Anime was at a transition time between the old anime stigma and mainstream media, it was just great to be a fan.

[@GabrielF430]

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.

[@necro3183]

Damn I remember when I was new into anime and I stumbled across a funny moments compilation of lucky star. I got hooked immedietly and started watching it. It's kinda weird that this is my third anime.

[@luvelyalice]

I watched it WAYY later than the original release but god I remember begging my friends to learn the opening dance with me, convinced none of em they all were into kpop at the time(me too lol)

[@whome9842]

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.

[@SwordsmanOrion]

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.

[@BlackfangDragon]

Gotta say the Geass bit got me, especially as I was hoping for some shitposting that Lelouch now has clone kids in the Sunrise co-produced Gacha Game with his most popular ships (Nunally, Kallen, Suzaku, C.C.)

[@BrandonRTalks]

Aight time to bingewatch Haruhi and then Lucky Star right after

[@GodwynDi]

This is the way

[@Moddeang123]

It's a time capsule of ages past. It contains the culture and subculture of that era. One of an anime that I hope will be localized and aired again and again from time to time...

[@MichaeLPPL]

Glad people still make videos bout this anime, since most videos I find bout Lucky Star are 15 year old remixes or clips lol I only started watching Lucky Star about 8 months ago but it instantly became my favorite anime, probably because it was the first anime I fully watched Great vid man👍

I can't believe you bated me with code geass, well done

I literally just finished Lucky Star like a few days ago. Odd because I should've finished this show 8 years ago.

[@doomexe]

"what the hell is a Gunbuster" I am now offended.

[@pokemontojo8704]

Even though I was only a 2nd grader when Lucky Star released and I wasn't watching anime at the time but I did discover this anime during Lucky Stars 10 year anniversary. This where my weeb journey started with Lucky Star

[@gib6683]

Eureka 7 and Gurren lagann were the first anime I watched and I couldn't have asked for a better start :)

I agreed with absolutely everything you said until you mentioned that you thought rent a girlfriend was 10/10 then I remembered you made this on April Fools 💀 also when it comes to old 2000s comedy animes I think azumanga diaoh 100% takes the bag

[@ninetenduh]

Honestly, Lucky star was amazing. The Opening was also an absolute banger, completely fooling you into it being a completely different show just to dial down the speed to 0.1 once it finishes.

[@Crybyte]

I remember stumbling across 0092h's NND re-upload of "こなた達でアッーウッウッイネイネ【らき☆すたMIX】", now my love feels all wrong. Still haven't recovered. So yeah, I watched Lucky Star and then Haruhi. Before that I was watching whatever was on toonami. Now i'm a fansub addict.

Hey, Nurse Witch Komugi was awesome! That Alstofo or whatever the hell his name is owes his entire design to Komugi. He's basically just cosplaying her.

[@shami5enwow]

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.

[@savictor]

Lucky star IS a holy grail of anime, and you can't change my mind

[@mymumeatsdogs9066]

Hey lunar you should watch this oldish anime called heavens lost properties. Its main character made simply the best song ever in one of the ep in s1

this with the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya define the 2000s anime era

Great taste man It's kinda hard to catch the joke at some poin, because their joke heavly influence by a common things in japan culture, but a weebs will not find any trouble with this. Even so, this anime is timeless, wich mean youncan keep rewatching whenever you like and the joke will stil hit, one time i got so bored, so i decide to rewatch this anime in random order, and that's totally fine, because every episode have different topic

[@MrMohaakon]

At this point in time being an anime fan felt special and meeting another anime fan was awesome these shows stuck with you for life cuz it's was the beginning for a lot of people into the anime world

[@sagemaster1357]

I was born in 2002 so I wouldn't know that feeling. I watched it properly around 2019.

hopefully this will spawn love for the show again. good review, couldnt have done it better myself.

My first anime before even pokemon and a great show. Didn’t get any of the references first time round but I still really enjoyed the atmosphere as a kid. I watched it again with my boyfriend recently and it’s still great. Probably watched it 10 times through and even made choco cornets to test the various techniques. It probably wasn’t appropriate for me as a 9 year old though.

I always saw Lucky Star as the "Seinfield" of anime... they pick a random topic and explore all the funny and nonsense about it... literally a "show about nothing"...

When I tell I genuinely cried when I finished that last episode man.... This anime was the second one i ever watched the first being "shinryaku ika musume" or "Squid Girl", but this anime was the best one I ever watched. Edit: I caanot express how much I ADORE Kyoto Animation. Their work is phenomenal.

[@demekagamine]

Lucky star was my first anime actually and as much as i prefer subs to dubs, when it comes to anime i watched as a kid i have to listen to them in dub. Those are just the voices ingrained in my mind so hearing anything else is weird

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.

[@otakubullfrog1665]

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.
