About Lucky☆Star

Here is what Lucky☆Star (らき☆すた) is about, retold in plain terms: a comedy and slice of life anime by Kyoto Animation (2007). The premise: What’s the best way to eat dessert? Do twins really have a psychic connection?

Beyond that: What kind of guys are into moe girls? These are the kinds of questions that float through the inquisitive mind of anime super-fan Konata Izumi. When she’s not lost in her favorite manga or logging hours in one of her online games, she’s debating the mysteries of the universe with the best companions a girl could ask for.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Haruhi Suzumiya (Aya Hirano) and Konata Izumi (Aya Hirano) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list. At 24 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
