Lucky Star: You either love it like it’s the best thing since anime, or hate it for being totally clueless.

I was going to say something thoughtful and appreciative in lieu of this comment being belated, but then I saw that immensely gay wedding clock (protip: take your meds) and now all I can offer is scorn.

Lucky Star really is wonderful stuff. It’s been interesting re-watching the earlier episodes now that the US DVDs are starting to come out; there are nuances I didn’t catch the first time around because, as you say, it takes time to get to know the characters. As much as I love the anime, though, there’s no way in hell I’m wearing that T-shirt…

I’ve read a bit of Lucky Star before it was out.

Personally, it didn’t really hold me for very long. there’s so much 4koma one can absorb, and the otaku pandering really ticked me off at times.

I’ll admit that it is a nice read and probably a fair watch.

Still, Konata comparing Getter Robo to a drill scares me T_T

I don’t want to blame anyone for not liking Lucky Star — sense of humor is very personal — but I would blame them for saying categorically that it isn’t funny. I found it much funnier than AzuDai, but in a different way, as you say. LS wasn’t the kind of humor that made me laugh out loud every so often, but the kind that made me laugh quietly deep in my bones for the whole 22 minutes. So yes, people, please give it a chance.
