Katanagatari is another i've been waiting to finish before i start watching, Shame i already have 35+ series ready to watch on my lappy atm.

Question, do you guys find Lucky ☆ Star funny? I personally really do, it's no SZS but it's certanly one of my favourite in it's genre.

I don't think you're taste is that odd really. I don't like to judge but the only really weird tastes are of those who enjoy sadistic rapey stuff. It's not really that odd to like magical girls and cuteness.

Well, it's more of what I don't watch that's a bit out of the ordinary... like many of the really popular action/shonen series. I do tend toward the less popular titles. Some of them are hidden gems while with others even I can tell why they're less popular xD
 
I don't really think about the popularity of a series, i even try to avoid looking at it's rating it's been given and choose to watch based on it's synopsis or someone's personal rec.

Looking at your list I haven't even heard of a lot of the titles, we only share 10 (soon to be 12 Amagami and Aoi Hana) but we've rated those 10 pretty similarly, well apart from Myself ; Yourself... I think you're one of the very few people in the world to rate that so highly. :o
 
Yes, I find...
*Prepares shotgun*

RAKI SUTA

*Shoots self, and returns as ghost*

...to be fairly amusing. The manga is much more amusing, as it gets even deeper into the culture, but has more "D'aww...." moments.
 
Unless you're skipping straight to Lucky Channel and the ending, no.

It's not bad as a parody show, but if you're looking for those, there's much better out there. Same goes for the "cute girls doing cute things" shows at that.
 
Lucky Star was... well, I found it interesting in some of the "awwww Tsukasaaaa" moments.
I think my mom likes it more than I do though, for the fact that they sang songs from her childhood in the ending karaoke scenes.

Currently watching:
Tantei Opera Milky Holmes
PSG
Star Driver

So much I've stopped watching this season, biggest being Ika Musume.

Ooh, harsh, harsh...

I enjoyed the manga more, TBH.

But the last episode of LS was sufficiently awesome.

Sufficiently. It lacked the "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" aspect of Azumanga.

I... cried when Azumanga ended.
 
I'm not sure what I like better, Azumanga or Lucky Star. This might sound weird but i find Lucky Star more funny overall but if I was to pick individual scenes i'm sure Azumanga would have more in the top 10. Also Azumanga had a few of my favourite characters ever, Osaka, Sakaki, Chiyo and Yukari-Sensei. Meh, I think they're both going to be 8/10 anime.
 
no offense, saw the dance sequence coming from a mile away

The main problem with Lucky Star for me (from what i recall, haven't rewatched in forever) was that it was just...bland...and it tended to drag it out too. Main thing that comes to mind is that cornet conversation that lasted pretty much all first ep. Not saying there wasn't anything good, there are some nice moments, but half the stuff is "I was thinking, why does _______ happen?" or something other topic that's common, but really bland, kind of like I've heard it how many times already.
 
I like the pacing in Lucky Star, there are a lot of scenes like the cornet scene that i think get funnier the longer they go on. I wonder if that's what they were going for.

Thinking about slice of life comedy i'm surprised Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei hasn't been brought up, that and Welcome To The NHK! would are both funnier than AD and LS.

I like Lucky Star and all, but... Err...

Get out.

Azumanga Daioh is pure nostalgia for me. I watched that series a while back, as my introduction to real anime. I laughed, cried, and d'awww'd along with the characters.

...I brought the omnibus. Both translations. I burned the series to discs, just to rewatch them.

I love Azumanga. Insult it, and I will send Yukari after you, so that she may rip out your throat, and alter your Border of Life and Death, trapping you in a permanent Hell, where Yuka shall torture you mercilessly. And when your mind is at its breaking point, Yukari will crush your Border of Sanity, forcing you to consciously and sanely suffer a horrible, horrible torture until Armageddon. calmly accept your dissenting opinion.
 
Ohhhh i sensed e-bloodlust before i even clicked on this page. :o :L I guess we all defend our favourites, i honestly didn't say anything bad about it though unless rating it the same as Lucky Star that bad? :o.

...it's not that I don't like Lucky Star, and it's funny, but...

Would you rate The Simpsons on the same level as Heroes?
 
^ The Simpsons sucks. Heroes sucks more.

Lucky Star > Azumanga. Although, it's still really good.
 
I think the comparison you're looking for is Simpsons and Looney Toons
 
That'd work I think nostalgia and cartoons, i immediately go back to looney toons, forgot how old simpsons was XD

Looks like some Haruhi movie raws are out now. oh those koreans

Also, I totally want that Kara no Kyoukai Blu-Ray box set, but...dat moneys...

Heroes and the Simpsons are completely different though, you can't directly compare them.

No, actually this was my point.

Both are good, but LS is nowhere near AD's level. One's a cheap comedy, the other one's...

Well, they're both comedy. But one's parody-centric, and the other has a heavy, adorable Slice of Life flavoring. No, LS isn't Slice of Life, though it tries to be.
 
Ya, not the best comparison there ^^;;

I think a lot is that AD did a much better job at 4koma to anime than Lucky star did.
