Or at least “Final Thoughts” before I watch the series again so that I can post my full and official review of the series at some later date.
Lucky Star was a series which I think started off with great promise, but was just never able to fully get off the ground. It was kind of hailed as the second coming of Azumanga Daioh, but it just wasn’t able to keep up the humor level enough to be as successful as that series.
Given the fact that there is exactly zero story behind this show, it needed to be maintained using the characters and humor. While Lucky Star does have a set of interesting characters which help carry the show and while individual episodes had a lot of good humor, a lot of the same jokes were used over and over, and it just got old. Also, only having 4 primary characters with a small cast of (not very) re-occurring characters made the episode-to-episodes story old, and now not only do you have the same jokes, but there being told to and by the same people.
That’s not to say that Lucky Star was a bad series. It did have it’s moments of brilliance and some memorable episodes, but it just wasn’t enough to me to make this a great series.
