Lucky☆Star!!

Let us start things off right with an anime review!! Luck☆Star is one of my favourite animes; i actually spent 30 minutes debating about whether to buy the DVDs at BestBuy. Sadly, being broke, it was really a waste of 30 minutes. Anyways, the story follows the lives of 4 high school girls.





Tsucasa, Konata, Kagami, & Miyuki, as seen to the right, are the lucky stars of Lucky☆Star [shut up, it punny]. They go through high school, & eventually meet up with a few other girls. The main reason to watch this anime, besides the exceedingly cute graphics, is the humor. Tsucasa & Kagami are sisters, but polar opposites. Tsucasa is an air head who's highest grade on a test is a C but an excellent cook, while Kagami is a serious A-/B+ student that cannot cook to save her life. Miyuki is a brillant student, easily the top ranked student all throughout high school, but is even more of an air head than Tsucasa, often missing bus stops cause her nose was too deep in a book. Konata, the luckiest as she is the main, main character [if that makes sense], is an otaku, lover of manga & anime, who plays adult pornographic games that her fathers buys her. It is less creepy that it sounds [but not by much].

The anime was actually based off a manga, shocking i know; especially when you consider nearly every single anime is based off a manga. Anyways, Lucky☆Star started off a 4 panel comic strip in Comptiq magazine in Japan. It then got put in manga form, which made its way to anime. If you look at some of the gags in the anime, you will notice it takes on a sort of 4 frame thing. One scene is when all 4 girls on a trip & are talking about they have trouble sleeping away from home. Tsucasa says she cannot sleep without her alarm clock so she brought it along with her [which makes no sense cause she is always sleeping in late, so either she does not hear it or it is the world's worst alarm clock]. Miyuki admits that she cannot sleep without her favourite pillow, which she brought. Konata reveals that she cannot past a day without playing on her DS, which she brought.

The best & most shocking thing about this whole anime is that it has the best offical dubbing i have ever heard for anime. The characters sound exactly like they should; it is shocking. I found myself watching the English version more than the subbed Japanese version. This is a rare case, as most people who watch anime know. Another impressive thing is that it was just dubbed, none of the Japanese related content was removed or covered to make it more acceptable to Americans. It was refreshing to see.

So, over all i whole hearted give this anime 5 lucky stars out of five:
☆☆☆☆☆

That concludes this report!!
