Yes. Also, that's one of the segments in AMV Hell 4. |

For me it brought to mind Isaac Asimov writing as Paul French.

They were also in Karin and I Me Strawberry Eggs as well. Though I am sure few people have heard of those series, due to the fact they were never popular. |

I think people are wrong to say the only humour in lucky star is the anime references and so on. I don't get most of them, and even when I do it's not what makes the anime. I like watching it for the characters and the character interactions, it's all so easy to relate too and very funny. Maybe girls will get it more than boys, I don't know. I'd agree that the episodes on the first DVD are, however, a little boring. the show deffinately picks up afterwards though.

Well I bought the Lucky Star dvd, not the deluxe dvd, and I am likely to continue to purchase this series. Grated the opening theme is still horriable, but everything else isn't. The dub was fantastic, that is my second reason of continuing this series as welll. The characters did have have their own traits as well. Izumi Konata was a intelligent, sporty otaku, Kagami is a low level tsudere, her sister Tsukasa is odd, but interesting female cast member, Miyuki defines "moe" and show potray's what a female otaku life in highschool. Lucky Channel is nice, but my friend told me Akira will be like a psychopath later on, so I will keep an eye on this. Overall, I did the right move and bought the dvd based on the review of two people. |

I simply MUST protest against all this lazy comparisons to "Seinfeld" that "Lucky Star" keeps on getting.
"Lucky Star" is a mischievous, whimsical yet fundamentally warm hearted series where although friends may tease each other, but are never truly spiteful and will never stab each other in the back, and there's a feeling they generally love and care for each other. "Seinfeld" on the other hand, is set in a bleak, cold and heartless universe where supposed "Friends" stab each other in the back to get higher in life, and don't really even love each other, but are simply too jaded-blase-and-cynical to want to move one, having NO faith in humanity whatsoever. It is a completely underserved comparision, nay, INSULT to Lucky Star to compare it to that cesspool of hate and cynicism. Lucky CHANNEL, on the other hand, I will gladly compare to Seinfeld. Though it is because of its spiteful-and-cynical-viciousness that it is jarrying and out of place when put next to the cheeky but bright universe of the main show. |

Ugh, i was hoping this wouldnt be dubbed >.< personally i think theyre gonna make a really big mess of this anime. its one of my fave series and should stay japanese... i think dubbing it is a terrible idea, theyre just gonna mess it up with the english/american voice actors and probably will miss out of the funniest bits of it.
One of the best anime series ever - not looking forward to it being released dubbed though. |

I hear there are magical "Audio Select" and "Subtitle" buttons on your DVD player's remote that will let you watch the series subbed if you so choose. They may be just an urban legend, though. |

... Which is why Seinfield is better? (Mind, I'm not even a Seinfield fan.) I dunno; I'll take spiteful cynicism and somewhat believable characters over otaku-humor.
Here's a suggestion for you: just listen to the Japanese dub. I know, it's a horrible thing for companies wanting a potentially profitable series to become actually profitable by giving them that horrid English dubbing, but they're not editing, cutting or removing the Japanese dub from the DVD.

Oh, come off it. I wasn't comparing the tone of the two series and you should know that. Seinfeld IS a show about nothing (heck, it even explicitly states that it is), and so is Lucky Star - or can you actually support a claim that there is any kind of plot or substance to it? (And I don't consider "random inane scenes of the experiences of four girls in high school" to be a plot.) Granted, a show like this one doesn't need substance or plot to be entertaining, but trying to deny that there aren't parallels between the two series is silly. |

I was not protesting for substance (Lucky Star is a fun show with little to no plot, I agree), nor against you personally.
Merely stating that one show is about having a good time with friends that you are fond of (which real people ALSO do, NOT just Otaku, Mr Hellkorn) and another is about being cold, selfish cruel and backstabbing towards people you pretend to be friends with out of apathy and convenience. |
