This will probably be the shortest review I will ever write.
As I said in my review for the Lucky Star series, KyoAni constantly references and criticizes the anime genre as a whole. Significantly, it also references and criticizes consumers of anime, including those watching the series. This OVA goes exactly one step further, exploring what would happen if the viewers’ volition filters back into the anime. What would happen if the fandom – and its associated theories, frustrations, and obsessions – become part of the show itself? Well, you get this OVA, which in Lucky Star fashion follows the same plotless, trope-filled, single-sided characterization that the main series is known for.
For better or worse, you absolutely do need to have seen the main series before seeing this, as this OV…

The OVA set is a 45-minute segment of short stories that attribute themselves to the characters. They follow the same premise of fun that the main series follows. I will not ruin this segment by explaining the short stories.
Art is the same as before which is perfect.
Sound is also the same as before but at the end uses live-action which has been seen already but the Lucky Channel live-action in this format has not.
Characters don't develop anymore as this is not what the segment is about.
Enjoyment is as before which is perfect to which it is a hilarious set. Make sure to google the meaning of the censored phrase that Kagami says.
Overall it is definitely worth a watch and lifted my spirits having just completed the main series.

Warning: this review was made for people that already watched the Lucky Star anime ill probably do a review of that too
Its safe to say that Lucky Star is now considered an anime classic of the late 2000s, along side series like Gurren Laggan, Death Note, Haruhi, Higurashi, Black Lagoon, Code Geass ect... but I don't hear that much people talking about its OVA special, realeased a year after the show concluded (on a very high note in my honest opinion).
Its now commonplace for an anime to have an OVA special episode, either as a Blu-Ray exclusive or as a bundle with one of the volumes of the show's manga, but this a much different beast, as this was, again, made a year after the end of the show and was realeased on its own; also, this OVA does something…

Unfortunately, This extended OVA didn't really bring about anything new, the whole production felt a bit chaotic, i feel.
Obviously, as a fan of the original series, i was looking forward to seeing our beloved characters in a feature length title. To an extent, this OVA delivered as well... The art, sound, and character interactions were on par with the main show. Particularly at the start, i was able to enjoy once again the comedic, casual, SoL genius that i remember a while back.
My favorite part has got to be the game visualizations, it really was an awesome idea to factor these in. The overall inclusion of gaming culture really blended in well with the characters, and in my mind exposed a common, yet often untold plight in real life about gamers.
So for the most part, i did enjoy th…

Lucky Star OVA
The Story was a 5. There was no main story really. Again on my lucky star TV review the story had no specialty. But I kinda enjoyed it but to be honest I had seen better.
The Art was a 7. I quite enjoyed the character design. To be honest the background art was poor. There was nothing great about it. It just let me down really.
The Sound was a 3. The same OST plays over and over and over again. It gets really annoying. The Voice Acting was fair but not the best.
The Character's was a 6. I liked Konata's personality. She reminded me of myself always doing homework reading manga and watching anime!
Enjoyment was a 4. I do not regret watching this OVA but on some levels I was hoping it would be better than the TV series. But They were about the same.
Overall it was a 4. I don…

Story: It was basically just abunch of short Lucky Star stories. Not great, not bad.
Art: I like the art style.
Sound: I guess it was okay.
Characters: The same characters from the main Lucky Star series. Good, but not amazingly amazing.
Enjoyment and overall: I guess it was okay. Watch it if your a Lucky Star fan or if your bored, but it's not like an amazing OVA.
Thanks for reading this short review.

For an OVA that is suppose to be for Lucky Star... it wasn't very good.
The ova consists of a couple of mini-episodes that were suppose to be for the amusement of fans. Where was that amusement, might I ask.
The first story that began had more to do with the dog than with the characters themselves. Basically, it was more of the dog sleeping, with a few glimpses and actions from the characters. Not the best to start out with. Shortly after, we have an RPG game.. and though it is nice to see some 3-D type action.. it was rather annoying that all they did was talk, and repeat in battle sequences. 'sighs' Really I was starting to loose my interest.
Finally, we get something entertaining in the 3rd mini-episode. The Cinderella type story, with Konata as the fairy god mother, or should I say…

Lucky Star was a very good series, and this OVA just continues the madness. It's not very funny to start with, with only one or two jokes, but as it moves on to the random story lines, it gets funnier. I think that this is a must watch for any enthusiasts of the Lucky Star anime. It continued the 'Legendary Girl A' gag and helped develop things between Kagami and her sister. The only thing I found disappointing was the lack of Haruhi references, but that is trivial compared to Konata's 'Heaven has abandoned us' scene. All in all, Lucky Star OVA is a anime I highly recommend!

Ahh the Lucky Star OVA. While it didn't fully capture the spirit of the anime series, it's still great that we are fortunate to even see the clan again after the anime was finish, so I can't really complain too much. The only saving grace *for me at lease* was that Konata was funnier and otaku as ever and I liked Tsukasa more in the movie then in the anime series because she was "cuter" I didn't like that the Lucky Channal was live action it was not funny almost unwatchable and it was much shorter then I expected to be only around 43 minutes long

The Lucky Star OVA was very well done. It brings fans back to the series of lucky star and includes all the characters that you have gotten to know and love... excluding a few characters... Lucky Star generally never has a real story to it but the small episodes in it seemed to flow very nicely. Since there really is no true story, I had to rate the story as a 7/10. To people who are unfamiliar with Lucky Star, watching the OVA might make you confused because you don't know what is going on. However, if you watched the series then the OVA should make perfect sense to you. All the stories were fairly good but near the end, with the pet store, it was funny but it could have been better. Personally it was not my cup of tea but it still had its moments.
The art is very well done as usual. The…

Well the thing about this review is it's directly compared to the other series, favorably or unfavorably. And after just writing a Lucky Star review, I thought it was only right that I write a Lucky Star OVA review. In fact, I only got up the energy to write a Lucky Star review to the community.
So, now that I've filled out the preface, it's time to get to the individual qualities of the short movie. Or actually, just medium as an OVA.
1. Story
Well how does one comment on one story, that's slice of life episodic comedy?
Well, you rate it on being an episodic, slice of life comedy.
This one doesn't quite pace as the other one did. And has quite a bit of cool down and then short spurts of comedy. It's not so chatty and eventful as the main series.
In this way it does make it feel a bit m…

As a fan of the Lucky Star series, the oav was a dissapointment.
i was hoping for a progression after the graduation, either the summer before university/ great konata- adventure of somesort or even the advent of a boyfriend for Kagamin :p [ooooooh]
All the oav seemed like xtra less-funny-crap-scenes they couldnt fit into
the series anywhere...so lets make an oav to waste the fans time X__x
There are a few funny moments and classic lucky star humor; im sure everyone is curious as to why Kagamin is "cosplaying"as Hatsune Miku. Its sad, but the oav was pretty short
and lacked the charm of the series. You bored on a Sat afternoon? Nothing
on? No worth while anime to watch or stuff to do? Go to a streaming site see it and be one iota less bored than u were 45min ago.
In the end, makers of…

The “Lucky Star” OVA is made up of several short stories or chapters. A coherent plot or over spanning arc is hence not present, but this is not uncommon for “Lucky Star” and the different short stories ensure the OVA will have something enjoyable for everyone. From a slice of life story, to a full blown comedy or parody story to a heart warming tale, the OVA touches upon all of the types that were featured in the series.
Being all about Konata, Kagami, Tsukasa and Miyuki, it's a bit of a shame the other characters were featured less. Yutaka, Minami, Patricia and Tamura only appear in the first story, Misao, Ayano and Nanako sensei appear briefly in the other tales. But this is normal given the time restraints.
Typical for “Lucky Star” are the many re…
