Lucky Star Review

My next review is for Lucky Star.

Lucky Star is about a group of girls talking to each other.............That's it.
Oh and the universe might be a TV show, much like Pani Poni Dash.
I'm sorry for the lack of plot but you really can't give such an in-depth description for this series, it really is just about a group of girls talking which can be the show's strength and weakness at the same time.
In one sense the fact that Konata Izumi is an otaku is meant to represent us as the viewer in what is literally our vision of how we think and act in real life at school which on the other hand is lost on not just Western and non otaku viewers but males in general as you can count all the male characters on one hand and none of them really interact with the main characters except Minoru Shiraishi who is the worst anime character of all time, is he supposed to be funny? I don't get him?
To elaborate, the only audience this series is going to be understood by, are the Otaku and Japanese girls; that's not to say the series is bad, it's genuinely funny, works well as a dub and very few people would argue that Konata Izumi makes a better mascot for anime than Hatsune Miku does.
There's too much comedy for it to be a true Slice of Life which has a radically different structure and relies heavily on the audience being mature. Lucky Star also relies far too much on the audience being otaku and ready to understand anime references and Haruhi Suzumiya and doesn't really open itself up to newbies or rookie otaku.
Final Verdict: Lucky Star is either a love or hate series depending on your views on certain genres and how much anime you watch. I enjoyed it but there's a lot of people I know who don't.
