This is the best anime I have ever seen and read. Right behind Naruto.
Although I wouldn’t reccomend the English Dub because it kind of ruins the whole movie. Go with Japanese versions with English Subs.
But then again, this is just one person’s opinion…

Beware this review is for the people that don’t know what LUCKY STAR is, not for its fanatics, remember it’s your money.
Lucky Star is another parody show that combines the comedy of Azumanga Daioh, Cromartie High School & Excel Saga . The story ( if there is one ) is about four friends in school living their normal lifes. Yep, it sounds stupid but that is all.
The English version has a good cast of voice overs Wendee Lee ( AKA Haruhi ) as Konata, Karen Strassman (AKA Ren from Dears) as Miyuki, Michelle Ruff ( AKA Miharu fom Girls Bravo ) and Kari Wahlgren ( AKA Haruhara from FLCL) as Kagami, but some actors need more passion for their characters , I though kagami was going to sound like Haruko Haruhara from FLCL or like Jeane from No More Heroes but nooo, the Japanese track is as always perfect.
Pros:
+ Fluent animation.
+ The English version of Stukasa and Miyuki are surprisingly similar to the original seiyu.
+ Character design.
+ large amounts of otaku humor.
+ Lucky Channel
+ There is always the Japanese track.
Cons:
- Dialog.
- The show became famous because the use of many anime references, not for originality.
- The English version of Konata, Kagami and Akira don’t sound like the Japanese seiyu
- The characters look like 10 years-old but they are actually 16 to 18.
- There is no ending theme, at the end of each episode a song from other anime or show is preformed by one of the characters in karaoke style, some people might find this funny but it becomes annoying after a while.
- Some jokes are not that funny.
I’m a big fan of Kyoto Animation, shows like Air, Haruhi Suzumiya and Kanon are top-notch but this show is just over-rated, I recommend better comedies like Ninja Nonsense, Pani Poni Dash, Cromartie High School, School Rumble, Strawberry Marshmallow, Ah My Goddess, or read a book better yet a manga but Lucky Star is just a very MEHHH series and believe me I’m an otaku, 3 out 5.

Lucky Star(RakiSuta) is most hit anime in 2007.
There’s no serious story but there’s heart warmed essence.
English radio actress are so match with Japanese version (ex.Tsukasa, Miyuki).

Lucky Star is easily the best anime of 2007, the extra’s that come with the box are kinda meh, but if you liked the extras that came with the SE Haruhi Suzumiya dvd’s then you’ll probably like these as well seeing as how they’re pretty much the same. All in all, it is a hilarious show and worth picking up.
