| Lucky Star (Manga) | comment |
Imagine Azumanga Daioh meets Seinfeld, on even more barbiturates with a fair helping of Otaku bait.Lucky Star is a Slice of Life manga by Kagami Yoshimizu, mainly focusing on four high school girls: Konata Izumi, an Otaku Surrogate whose knowledge of Japanese pop culture is truly staggering; her sarcastic and down-to-earth best friend Kagami Hiiragi; Kagami's meeker and more Book Dumb twin sister Tsukasa Hiiragi; and the wealthy and intelligent Miyuki Takara. Lucky Star is more or less a series about nothing in particular, focusing more on the characters' everyday lives and the ordinary conversations they have than any overarching plot, though the anime also utilizes a lot of Shout Outs and references to Otaku culture. Notable for being the largest example of the Puni Plush style and its rather eccentric fanbase.The manga began serialization in Comptiq in 2003, and went on hiatus in 2014 until it came back to serialization in 2022, moving to the magazine Mitaina!. Kyoto Animation used the manga as the basis for a highly successful anime series in 2007, which got acquired for American distribution by Bandai Entertainment, and dubbed by Bang Zoom! Entertainment with around the same casting as Haruhi Suzumiya... or some of the in-jokes would not be translatable at all. Most of the Otaku references were in fact KyoAni's own additions (the original manga was mainly a by-the-book Slice of Life), in order to cash in on the merchandising of anime in general, mainly from Haruhi. It worked; Lucky Star was one of the studio's most marketable shows, with many CDs and video games being made even 3 years after the anime ended. A stage musical adaptation was green-lit in 2011.There have been several spin-off manga series: Lucky Star Pocket Travelers was later created and features the four main characters for no discernible reason whatsoever shrunk down to a few inches tall. Cue hilarity. Boo Boo Kagaboo is a parody made by the creator of Nyoron Churuya-san in which Kagami is a Super-Deformed pig. It was licensed by BANDAI, but they later cancelled its release. Miyakawa-ke no Kuufuku ("The Miyakawa Family's Hunger") was created in 2008, written and illustrated by Kagami Yoshimizu himself. The series stars Hikage and Hinata Miyakawa, two minor characters from the manga (who also briefly show up in the anime) who have money troubles and thus have trouble keeping food in the house. Hinata, however, is an avid otaku, and her impulse-buying tendencies only worsen their money troubles, much to Hikage's chagrin. An ONA adaptation was produced by Ordet in 2013 for the Spring season. Lucky Star: Konata's Thirties began serialization in 2023 and follows the four main characters in their adulthood.The anime was originally available on Crunchyroll, until the licence expired in August 2014 and it was removed along with Nichijou. As of 2023, it's become available again.Not to be confused with the 1929 film Lucky Star, the 1950s series The Complete Adventures of Lucky Starr, a 1983 song by Madonna, a Paper Mario item, one of the "Chinatown bus" lines operating between Boston and New York City, or anything else named as such. | |

| Lucky Star (Manga) / int_120d0e3f | comment |
Adam Westing: Daisuke Ono and Yūko Gotō both voice parodies of themselves in the Lucky Channel segments (Ono is portrayed as a super-suave Bishōnen who looks down on Shiraishi for not being as successful in voice acting, while Goto is portrayed as a hardcore delinquent biker). Unfortunately, the show only plays with this using famous Japanese actors, so the English dub invariably loses a lot in translation (even though Bandai tries to maintain a pairing of their original Japanese voice actors with dubbers). | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Lucky Star (Manga) / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Go on. Read and analyze the lyrics to "Motteke Sailor Fuku." You will never be able to look at the series in the same way ever again. In one episode: Konata's attempts to eat her chocolate cornet in the first episode, with it spurting chocolate and her licking the end repeatedly... Konata's demonstration of the tongue "push and shove" method of getting soft-serve ice cream to go into the cone. Konata lying on her back and pretend-choking on falling Cherry Blossoms. The episode later included a parody on Da Capo. While the characters are discussing fraternal and identical twins, Konata says "I guess all this talk about eggs and sausages and stuff got me hungry." | |

Inexplicably Identical Individuals | |
| Lucky Star (Manga) / int_15f76026 | comment |
Inexplicably Identical Individuals: Voice of the cake restaurant waitress/Comiket vendor/Kyoto tour guide/etc. Sounds odd and a bit unnerving that all these people would have the same husky middle-aged woman's voice. You might recognize that voice as Orochimaru's seiyuu, Kujira. The dub does one better by having most of them be voiced by a male, though it isn't Steve Blum... but Derek Stephen Prince, who does Shino. And even better: at one point, you see six of the very same middle-aged woman at once! | |

Evil Sounds Deep | |
| Lucky Star (Manga) / int_16364a29 | comment |
Evil Sounds Deep: While calling a character in this series "evil" may be pushing it, the trope is still in effect with Akira; she pretends to be a cute, cheerful girl with a high-pitched voice for the camera, but as soon as something angers or annoys her, she reverts to her borderline psychotic, abusive real self with a husky contralto. | |

Four-Philosophy Ensemble: Konata: the Apathetic. The otaku who lives in her own world, with a very questionable grasp on reality. Kagami: the Cynic. The most serious and Brutally Honest among the girls, who prefers a logical approach. Tsukasa: the Optimist. The adorable ditz who always has an optimistic outlook on life. Miyuki: the Realist. Sweet and innocent as Tsukasa, but more grounded and sometimes overthinking about things. | |

Phenotype Stereotype: Patricia Martin, who has the orange (presumably intended to be reddish-blonde) hair and blue eyes compared to the rainbow spectrum that is the rest of the cast. She's also one of the taller cast members, as well as one of the bustiest. Curiously enough, Kagami's classmate Ayano has hair a slighty darker shade of orange, and Kuroi-sensei is actually blonde and green-eyed. | |

Comedic Work, Serious Scene | |
| Lucky Star (Manga) / int_1849f58e | comment |
Comedic Work, Serious Scene: While a comedic series, it does have a few moments of seriousness (though many of them are exclusive to the anime). The group attends an Aya Hirano concert, but Konata can't see anything due to her already short stature plus the tall man in front of her blocking her view. Kagami switches places with Konata to let her see the stage, and Konata is in awe of Hirano's performance. Walking home, Konata is uncharacteristically quiet, which Kagami is quick to notice. The scene ends with Konata asking herself what the feeling she's having is. During a class trip to Kyoto, Kagami gets a note from a boy in her class. She goes down to speak to him, thinking that he's going to confess his love to her, and is unsure how she'll respond. It turns out he just wants a keychain she bought, as he was too embarrassed to buy it himself in front of his friends. Kagami hands it over, but it's clear that she's upset by the whole thing. Kagami and Tsukasa return home to find that they'd missed a message from their sister, Matsuri, asking them to buy ingredients so she could make paella. Eldest sister Inori tries to play reasonable peacemaker, suggesting they could make the dish the next night. Matsuri complains that she wanted to make the dish tonight and chastises Kagami and Tsukasa for forgetting, making Kagami storm out in a huff while declaring that she'll buy the ingredients. Inori chastises Matsuri, saying she could have handled it better. Matsuri quietly agrees. | |

Comic-Book Time: Konata's circle were first-years when the manga started in February 2004, and were promoted to the second year in May 2004 and the third in May 2005, fitting a real-time timeline— then they remained third-years until finally graduating in September 2008. And even after that there were still the odd strips where they're back in their high school uniforms for some reason. Averted in the anime, where they are second-years for the first half and third-years for the second half. | |

Adaptation Expansion: Although Conversational Troping is the main feature of this series, Shout Outs are very rare in the manga — twice with Mari Mite, once with Azumanga Daioh, and once with Gundam — and the latter was published in a Gundam magazine. The anime adds many more Shout Outs in comparison. There are also quite a few segments that are anime-only, such as the Class Trip to Kyoto in episode 21, Konata's deceased mother Kanata remembering her life alongside Soujiro while visiting her family as a ghost in episode 22, and pretty much the entirety of episode 24. | |

Animated Actors: The cast of Lucky Channel, one is an aspiring anime actor, the other is a fading starlet whose upbeat persona conceals a moody, selfish, cynical side when she stops remembering/caring that she's meant to be acting.

| Lucky Star (Manga) / int_260926c3 | comment |
Nearly all of Anime Tenchou's appearances focus on his attempts to get Konata, whom he reveres as "Legendary Girl A", to buy something from his store. Despite his and his coworkers' efforts, this will always fail. | |

Later, we see them walking together and talking about it being the chocolate-hander's first time. | |

Unspoken Retort: Konata and Kagami are discussing the rigorous academic requirements needed to get into their school. Konata expresses amazement that Kagami's sister, Tsukasa managed to get in, which Kagami can't refute. All poor Tsukasa can do upon overhearing this exchange is to angrily think to herself, "Damn you, Kona-chan." | |

Conversational Troping: All the time, normally when Konata compares real life to anime. Smashing Watermelons, not so popular in real life. Blind Without 'Em, sadly not giving Miyuki weird-looking eyes. Cute Clumsy Girl, cute character trait in fiction, but would get really annoying really quickly in reality. | |

Bust-Contrast Duo: Played for Laughs: Huge Schoolgirl Minami is flat as a frying pan and has a bad case of A-Cup Angst. Her best friend Yutaka is tiny and also flat-chested. However, Yutaka still has good chances of filling out a bit, which causes Minami no end of (well-hidden) pain. Yutaka, in turn, admires tall girls like Minami, hitting her pet peeve for all it's worth. | |

Apathetic Clerk: Upon hearing that Konata has gotten a part-time job just so she can buy more Quo cards, Kagami and Tsukasa discuss what kind of job would even suit her. They imagine her as a bookstore cashier, where she ignores customers in favor of her manga and gets prizes from the merchandise, a convenience store cashier, where she speaks quickly and slurs her words to get things over with, and then a fast food cashier and family restaurant waitress, where her deadpan expression would cause problems. When Konata tells them she's a waitress at a Cosplay Café, they agree it suits her perfectly. | |

Gratuitous English | |
| Lucky Star (Manga) / int_2e6a41e0 | comment |
Gratuitous English: It's used straight sometimes, but more notable is the opening theme, which tends to keep a Gratuitous English-like tone and contents even when, as for most of the lines, it's in Japanese. A minor example was that the manga author thought Patricia's name should be spelt "Patoricia." "Don't mind..." "Don't touch me." "No!" "Yes". YES!!!. "STRONGER!" L! O! VWEE! E! LOV-UH-LEE! TSUKASA!

She's also red with fury and waving her fists in the air as she goes on about it. | |

Beergasm: Nanako does this in episode 6 of the anime, imitating Misato Katsuragi's famous beergasm almost frame-for-frame. Akira does this offscreen in the Lucky Channel segment of episode 16. It's not entirely clear whether she drank anything alcoholic or not, given that she's only 14 years old, but she seems slightly drunk afterwards. | |

Out of Focus: Miyuki slipped out throughout the anime's run (see the Character Sheet). In subsequent manga episodes (the anime only got up to Volume 4), the four main girls themselves have actually gone out, since they have graduated in 2008 and went to separate colleges, with only Konata and Misao going to the same school. The focus in 2010 has more been on a New Generation as well as health teacher Hikaru Sakuraba and school nurse Fuyuki Amahara (Hikaru only made a cameo appearance in the last TV episode of the anime). | |

Gift-Giving Gaffe: For Kagami and Tsukasa's birthday, Konata gives them gifts related to cosplay with the intention of forcing them into it, with Kagami receiving Haruhi Suzumiya's Red Armband of Leadership and Tsukasa receiving Akari Kamigishi's uniform, much to her embarrassment and the anger of Kagami. This is put in contrast with Miyuki, who gives the twins a pair of matching earrings, a much more thoughtful gift that both of them enjoy. This runs in the Izumi family, as a flashback shows Soujiro giving his now-deceased wife Kanata a Gundam model for her birthday, much to her embarassment. | |

Actor Allusion | |
| Lucky Star (Manga) / int_392372f9 | comment |
Actor Allusion: In the anime, Konata is a huge fan of Haruhi Suzumiya, owning tons of merchandise and later even cosplaying as Haruhi for her job at a Cosplay Café. Both characters are voiced by Aya Hirano in Japanese and Wendee Lee in the English dub. In Episode 24, Konata is even bribed by Patty with a ticket for a handshake with the voice actress for Haruhi, thus resulting in Aya Hirano as Konata enthusing about meeting Aya Hirano "in person" for her work on The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. In Episode 23, Konata buys a character Image Song for Galaxy Angel Rune's Kahlua, who is voiced by Aya Hirano, due to feeling "somehow connected" to it. She then convinces Kagami to buy a Powerpuff Girls Z album, where Kagami's voice actress Emiri Katou voices Hyper Blossom. In episode 8, Konata jokingly tells Kagami that "a girl should be elegant"; this is the catchphrase of Lumiere from Kiddy Grade, Aya Hirano's first major role. Konata's musings about "that show where a guy's pets come back to life as girls" are a reference to Angel Tales, where Hirano played one of her earliest roles as Momo The Monkey. In Episode 12, at Comiket, characters played by Tomokazu "Kyon" Sugita and Tomokazu "Sousuke" Seki manage to fight a Mundane Made Awesome battle to sell a customer unsold merchandise... of their own respective characters. Daisuke Ono As Himself and Akira Kogami in Episode 20 lampshade their previous roles in the KyoAni adaptation of AIR: Ono Daisuke as Yukito Kunisaki/the crow Sora and Hiromi Konno as Potato, Kano Kirishima's dog. Minami behaves a lot like Yuki Nagato from Haruhi. Both characters are voiced by Minori Chihara in Japanese and Michelle Ruff in English. Anytime any guest VAs turn up in Lucky Star, it's almost certain that the next episode preview will be voice-overed by whatever character they're famous for. Example: Kyon and Yuki previewing Episode 17, or the cast of Sgt. Frog previewing Episode 13, after their VAs turned up in the anime, In the English dub of that same episode, Vic Mignogna apparently reprised his role as Keroro (and is the only ADV cast member from the show to do so; he couldn't keep his role in the Funimation dub). | |

Vocal Dissonance | |
| Lucky Star (Manga) / int_3a88a563 | comment |
Vocal Dissonance: Played for Laughs as far as minor extras and background characters go, as they are given much deeper and raspier voices than you'd expect from their looks (provided by Fumihiko Tachiki and Kujira in Japanese, in case you're curious). This leads to teenage girls and young women sounding like men, and teenage boys and young men sounding around forty-something. | |

Mistaken for Flirting: During a field trip to Kyoto, Kagami gets a note from a boy in her class, asking her to meet her outside their hotel at night. She assumes it's for a love confession and isn't certain what she'll do. It turns out, however, that he just wanted to ask if he could have the keychain she bought at the gift shop because he was too embarrassed to be seen buying it in front of their classmates. Kagami quietly hands it over, but it is clear that she was a little upset about the situation. | |

Sound-Effect Bleep: Most names of anime, video games, or other media that isn't one of Kyoto Animation's own works (or, strangely enough, Sgt. Frog) are censored out with a comedic sound effect like a cowbell or tuba, due to copyright. Played for laughs by Konata and her dad during their conversation about Gundam; the word "Gundam" itself is always bleeped out, along with the names of all the characters, but completely random words that aren't related to Gundam are also bleeped out, leading to some funny word parfait. | |

The series theme song is also hummed by Tsukasa during the Beach Episode, and the final scene of the anime is the girls performing the same cheerleader routine they did in the opening, to the theme song. | |

The "Mom" Voice | |
| Lucky Star (Manga) / int_46b99973 | comment |
The "Mom" Voice: When Matsuri, Kagami and Tsukasa's older sister, unfairly tears into the twins for not picking up some ingredients she wanted for dinner, Kagami storms out of the house to grab the stuff. The eldest sister, Inori, looks at Matsuri and pulls a "Mom" voice, scolding the middle child by saying, "Well, you could have handled that better!" Matsuri can only shamefully agree. | |

No Hugging, No Kissing | |
| Lucky Star (Manga) / int_482c31d4 | comment |
No Hugging, No Kissing (This is the best way to describe the romance in this show, as confirmed by Word of God. The Les Yay are very subtle at best and any more than that is in the heads of the fanboys (or fangirls). The closest thing to hints of romance is the Lap Pillow scene between Yutaka and Minami. There's the tease confession scene between Kagami and a nameless boy, but considering Kagami's change in behavior after receiving the supposed "love letter" is safe to assume she was hesitant if accept the boy or reject him for Konata. One of the more subtle examples is Kagami worrying that it would be problematic if her pet goldfish came back in human form as a wife beater, a reference to the anime Angel Tales. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Lucky Star (Manga) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: While it took more than half of the anime for everyone else to crop up, the nigh-exclusive focus on the original four is this trope for the manga, which had already covered all of the same events in just three of its since ten volumes before the anime would begin. The very first episode of the anime has a scene with Kagami yelling at Miyuki. This never happens again, especially since Miyuki is someone Kagami respects a lot more than Tsukasa or Konata. | |

Deadpan Door Shut: Inverted. As Kagami puts on her summer uniform, she remarks that someone always forgets the changeover from the winter uniforms. Then her twin sister Tsukasa, who's still wearing the winter uniform, opens the door to her room. Realizing that Kagami had changed to the summer uniform, she quietly backs out and closes the door behind her, while Kagami laments that the one who forgot is her own sister. | |

Sudden Video-Game Moment | |
| Lucky Star (Manga) / int_5050789d | comment |
Sudden Video-Game Moment: Quite a few in the anime: When Konata tells Kagami about how she rescued Tsukasa from a foreigner, she is depicted as a character in Street Fighter II, defeating an opponent who looks like Guile on Ryu's stage. When Tsukasa asks Konata how she's so good at running, Konata says it's all about visualization. This cuts to Konata running in the style of the NES game Track & Field, and a closeup of a hand on the controller performing the famous coin and ruler tricks to win the game. Another episode features Konata and Nanako having an argument that soon cuts to a Super Robot Wars-style battle, with them piloting the Arbalest and Codarl respectively and arguing in the dialog boxes. | |

Jokers Love Junk Food: Inverted; despite being the sarcastic Straight Man most of the time, Kagami is the source of her own Weight Woe and suffers frequent jabs for it, as while she frequently chides Konata for her childish behavior involving games, anime, or her lackadaisical study habits, Kagami is almost always seen snacking on something when she has free time (usually Pocky). On one occasion, Konata offers her a bunch of chocolate wafer snacks she had, because she'd bought them to get the toy prize inside while caring nothing for the snack. Kagami chides her on that, saying "Leave it to you to pass up a perfectly good snack for a cheap toy." | |

Four-Temperament Ensemble: Konata: the Sanguine. Extroverted, eccentric and mischievous, and a huge cloudcuckoolander. Kagami: the Choleric. Being a tsundere, she's brash and a bit egotistical, but ultimately good-natured. Tsukasa; the Phlegmatic. Sweet, nonconfrontational, friendly and a bit shy. Miyuki: the Melancholic. Kind, intelligent, polite and studious, and while she's sure not sad, she kinda tends to brood about things. | |

Doujinshi | |

Doujinshi: Konata doesn't draw doujinshi herself (since she's not a very good artist to begin with), but she regularly buys them and she recruits the Hiiragi twins to come with her to Comiket during one episode. At one point, Kagami spots a yaoi doujin of Gauron and Sousuke from Full Metal Panic!, and while curiosity gets the best of her, she decides that it's still "too intense" for her. Hiyori is a doujinshi artist whose interests in both yuri and BL practically cause shipping goggles to be glued to her eyes, even when it comes to her own friends. And yes, she does sell her works at Comiket. | |

N-Word Privileges: The word otaku is considered degrading in Japan, so in Japanese manga or anime, that word is avoided unless if it's an otaku (Konata, Hiyori etc.) who said it. However, the word is no longer considered degrading outside of Japan, and the Kadokawa-Bandai dub uses the word as much as needed. | |

Celebrity Paradox | |
| Lucky Star (Manga) / int_7b8b3def | comment |
Celebrity Paradox: In the anime, not only is Konata a huge fan of Haruhi Suzumiya (which was also adapted to anime by Kyoto Animation), but she's also a fan of Aya Hirano...who not only voices Haruhi, but Konata herself as well. In one segment of Lucky Channel, Anime Tenchou mentions the names of several characters from various anime and games and asks Akira how she feels about them; all of them are voiced by Akira's voice actress, Hiromi Konno. Akira just responds with confusion over who those characters are. | |

Giving Up the Ghost | |
| Lucky Star (Manga) / int_7c2ab26c | comment |
Giving Up the Ghost: Konata gives hers up after gaming for 3 days straight in episode 15. In the next scene, Miss Kuroi gives hers up after rushing to class so she wasn't late, then hurriedly telling the class to shift gears out of summer vacation and back to focusing on the start of the school year. She wasn't prepared herself. Hiyori Tamura does this after pulling off an all-nighter to meet her manga submission deadline. | |

Slice of Life: The series focuses on the daily lives of four high school girls, their friends, and their families...and that's about it. Conversations tend to be very Seinfeldian, with the girls discussing such things as the proper way to eat a chocolate cornet or what kind of animals they'd be. The anime also adds a lot of Shout Outs, which are largely thanks to Otaku Surrogate Konata. | |

During a class trip to Kyoto, Kagami gets a note from a boy in her class. She goes down to speak to him, thinking that he's going to confess his love to her, and is unsure how she'll respond. It turns out he just wants a keychain she bought, as he was too embarrassed to buy it himself in front of his friends. Kagami hands it over, but it's clear that she's upset by the whole thing. | |

Cute Clumsy Girl: Miyuki spends so much time thinking about various subjects that she tends to space out, leading to clumsy moments. Konata mentions that Miyuki's clumsiness and air-headedness get her "Moe points". The trope is discussed when Kagami asks Konata if she acts like one at her job at a Cosplay Café, like dropping her drinks (complete with demonstration), but Konata dismisses it as something cute in fiction but just annoying in real life. | |

When Yutaka mentions that to Minami, Minami wonders if Miyuki absorbed something else from her, since the two were pretty close when growing up and often acted like siblings... | |

Art Shift | |
| Lucky Star (Manga) / int_912b24c4 | comment |
Art Shift: While the anime normally has a bright color palette and fairly simple shading, the occasional serious moments (such as Kagami's fight with Matsuri and Kanata visiting her family as a ghost) will be accompanied by darker colors and more realistic shading that's typical of Kyoto Animation's other works. The Initial D parody in Episode 6 renders the cars in obvious 3D, as well as showing two nameless male characters in Initial D's art style. Anime Tenchou and his coworkers at the Animate store are all drawn very differently from the rest of the cast in a sketchy art style reminiscent of mecha anime and manga from the 90s, as Anime Tenchou himself was created several years before Lucky Star began and was designed by Kazuhiko Shimamoto. An extreme example of this is when Hiyori falls, and, in an attempt to protect her hand, does a dramatic action roll, changing her appearance to that of a rather manly-looking, highly shaded character, invoking the art style of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. The anime will randomly show transition artwork of highly-detailed characters, completely different from those of the regular show. This is pretty funny when they actually are sitting next to the Puni Plush characters themselves. In Episode 21, Konata yells at Shiraishi (who didn't make it onto the tour bus and is frantically running after it) to say "Maetel" in reference to Galaxy Express 999, and immediately afterward her face changes to the series' creator Leiji Matsumoto's distinctive art style. The Mobile Newtype strips of the manga manage to make the characters even more Puni Plush. The Manga's chapter eye-catches are the characters with the Puni Plush toned down considerably, with more detailed characters to the point of Fanservice. | |

World of Technicolor Hair | |
| Lucky Star (Manga) / int_9dbf9610 | comment |
World of Technicolor Hair: Almost nobody has a normal hair color. It's lampshaded when Miyuki (who has pink hair) explains to Konata (blue), Tsukasa, and Kagami (both purple) why exposure to sunlight and seawater changes hair color. Most, if not all, characters with funky hair colors also have that as their eye color. As such, one may pretend that their hair is perceived in their world as being black/dark brown. This is completely ignored and lampshaded further in the dub, where Konata comments that Miyuki is like her mother "down to the last pink hair." Also in the dub, Misao (who actually has brown hair) calls Konata "Shorty McBlueHair" at one point when she asks if that's who wants to borrow the game Kagami is asking her to return. | |

Random Events Plot: Being a Slice of Life series, there's no ongoing plot in the manga or the anime.

Kagami and Tsukasa return home to find that they'd missed a message from their sister, Matsuri, asking them to buy ingredients so she could make paella. Eldest sister Inori tries to play reasonable peacemaker, suggesting they could make the dish the next night. Matsuri complains that she wanted to make the dish tonight and chastises Kagami and Tsukasa for forgetting, making Kagami storm out in a huff while declaring that she'll buy the ingredients. Inori chastises Matsuri, saying she could have handled it better. Matsuri quietly agrees. | |

As Himself: In addition to Minoru Shiraishi, all five of the Haruhi Suzumiya stars make cameos as themselves in the anime: Daisuke Ono and Yūko Gotō on Lucky Channel (albeit rather exaggerated versions of themselves), Minori Chihara and Tomokazu Sugita at Comiket, and Aya Hirano at the concert. | |

Surreal Theme Tune | |
| Lucky Star (Manga) / int_a71980f8 | comment |
Surreal Theme Tune: The anime's opening theme, "Motteke! Sailor Fuku", is extremely upbeat and catchy, but the lyrics make almost no sense at all; there's plenty of Gratuitous English and some of the lyrics talk about uniforms, but aside from that the subject matter is very random and has little to do with the show itself. It's a prime example of a denpa song, which is fitting for the series' focus on Otaku culture. | |

Dramatic Irony: Played for Laughs during a flashback to when Konata was just born, with Kanata hoping that her daughter won't inherit her short height or her husband Soujirou's Otaku personality. Unfortunately for Kanata, it's already been established that Konata ended up inheriting both of those traits. | |

Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: The Hiiragi sisters Inori, Matsuri, Kagami and Tsukasa all have Shinto-related names, meaning "prayer," "festival," "mirror" and "priest" respectively. (The mirror's religious significance in Shinto is adequately explained by Kagami herself.) Justified, since their father is a Shinto priest. | |

Heroism Incentive: Konata's father offered her video game systems depending on the rank of school she got into. Patricia pulls this tactic out when dealing with Konata as well. Konata had heard about Patricia's request to join her for the cheerleading routine in advance, and was going to politely turn her down. But before Konata can do so, Patricia informs her that she has a rare ticket to see Aya Hirano perform, and what was it that Konata was going to say? | |

Artistic Age: The main characters are teenagers in high school, but you'd be forgiven for thinking they're supposed to be in elementary school due to the Puni Plush art style making them look younger than they are. In-Universe, Konata and Yutaka in particular are often mistaken for elementary schoolers due to being so short. | |

Anime Accent Absence: Although Patricia is stated to be an exchange student rather than someone who has lived in the country for several years, she speaks Japanese just as well as the other girls and with just a slight trace of a foreign accent. Lampshaded in the last non-omake episode, when she claims to 'not know those hard Nippon words.' And is subsequently told that she has 'been speaking fluently until now'. In the manga, the author mentions that Patricia is only fluent on Japanese relevant to her hobbies. The writers for the English dub realized that the joke wouldn't work in English, since Patricia and Kagami are both fluent, so they replaced it with Patricia saying, "I can't hear you! La la la la~" | |

Could apply to the entire case since Kagami and Tsukasa are described as being "plain." Also, most would agree Ms. Kuroi seems to be much more attractive than Narumi, who has a husband, but have trouble finding a husband. This could be explain by 4 things: 1) Her standards are too high, 2) Her personality, 3) The fact that she spends most of her free time playing MMO RPG games, or 4) Her looks are due to Generic Cuteness. | |

Orwellian Retcon: A minor example: Konata was originally portrayed as a cool Gamer Chick, but was soon changed into a down-to-earth, sort-of-pervy Otaku Surrogate. When the yonkoma were collected into volumes, Yoshimizu changed Konata's lines to make her image consistent. Because he only changed a few strips very early in the series and Yoshimizu discussed that in the omake, it is not as unpleasant. | |

Give Him a Normal Life: Of course Soujiro and Kanata were not superheroes, but Kanata said exactly that after she gave birth to Konata. She didn't want Konata to inherit her body and his personality— but, well, we know it turned out to be the opposite of what she wanted... | |

Indecisive Parody | |
| Lucky Star (Manga) / int_d7a92919 | comment |
invoked Indecisive Parody: It's sometimes hard to tell whether the series is a straight example or a parody of Moe in media aimed at Otaku; the mostly-female cast is often played up to be as appealing as possible to the otaku audience, but the concept of moe is also frequently lampshaded and the characters sometimes discuss how certain moe traits are cute in fiction but wouldn't be as appealing in real life. | |

Fan Convention: The first half of Episode 12 focuses on Konata, Kagami and Tsukasa going to Comiket. Konata takes it very seriously (which Kagami lampshades), having mapped out the best routes to navigate through the event and indicating which lines are crucial to get into before their copies of doujinshi sell out. Poor Tsukasa can't get any of the doujins Konata asked her to pick up since she gets hopelessly lost, and Kagami stumbles on an explicit Gauron/Sousuke doujin that's "too intense" for her. | |

Animal Motifs: Discussed when Konata wonders what kind of animals the characters would be, and she, Kagami, Tsukasa and Yutaka give their thoughts on the subject based on everyone's personalities. The designations are as follows: Konata is a fox, Tsukasa is a dog, Kagami is a rabbit, Miyuki is a sheep (though Konata thinks a cow would be more fitting because of her assets), Yui is a leopard, Yutaka is a squirrel, and Minami is a hawk. The manga goes on to designate more: Hiyori is a tanuki, Kuroi is a cat, Misao is a monkey, Ayano is a ferret, and Yukari is a bear. | |

Sci-Fi Ghetto: A variation is discussed in the second episode, when Konata brings up a poll to determine how many books the average Japanese citizen reads in a year - the poll specifically excludes manga, though no such restriction is placed on the comparable media of light novels and children's picture books. She goes on to wonder how people can say that illiteracy is increasingly common among young people, pointing out that blogs and web pages in general take up a major part of the average teen's free time, and they are as wordy, if not more.invoked | |

This is even further lampshaded in Ep. 16 when, stopping by a bookstore in Akihabara to buy some manga for Konata, several otaku start taking pictures of her, forcing her to say, "I'm not Kamigishi." One even asks her to say "Hiroyuki-chan" to further fuel the whole thing. | |

Flanderization | |
| Lucky Star (Manga) / int_e5e6640b | comment |
Flanderization: The omake in the third volume played with this, trying to flanderize the characters, so Delicate and Sickly Yutaka would spit up blood as she speaks, The Quiet One Minami would only express herself by a piano, Tsundere Kagami would be more aggressive as she one-ups Konata, baseball fan Ms Kuroi would wear baseball suits to school and hits Book Dumb Konata with a baseball bat, The Ditz Tsukasa would have an over-the-top reaction to food, Yui who Drives Like Crazy would always come with a crashed car, and Miyuki would become Ms. Fanservice. They didn't do this to Konata since they thought she was already flanderized enough! Also a bit of a minor case in the anime, as Kagami sounds angrier in the English dub. | |

Terrible Artist | |
| Lucky Star (Manga) / int_f63e468f | comment |
Konata doesn't draw doujinshi herself (since she's not a very good artist to begin with), but she regularly buys them and she recruits the Hiiragi twins to come with her to Comiket during one episode. At one point, Kagami spots a yaoi doujin of Gauron and Sousuke from Full Metal Panic!, and while curiosity gets the best of her, she decides that it's still "too intense" for her. | |

Entertainment Above Their Age | |
| Lucky Star (Manga) / int_f76eaaff | comment |
Entertainment Above Their Age: Downplayed; 17-year-old Otaku Konata is shown to enjoy H-Games, which are meant for mature audiences of 18 and older. It's frequently lampshaded by other characters how she's not quite old enough to be playing those games, and once Konata turns 18 she expresses excitement over being able to buy them herself (as opposed to just borrowing them from her dad, who's quite the otaku himself). | |

Also Yui's driving and Hiyori's epic Slo Mo midair turnaround so her drawing hand doesn't sustain injury during a fall. Now with appropriate BGM. | |

Running Gag | |
| Lucky Star (Manga) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Whenever Tsukasa gets to do an episode preview, she doesn't get to finish. She also has a tendency to lose her cellphone, as well as having a fixation on the word "balsamic vinegar" (which she seems to consider an Inherently Funny Word). The "Doesn't it stink?" conversations. Minami's concern over her lack of...um, growth. The extra and background characters all being voiced by the same people (In Japanese, Kujira voices the female extras, and Fumihiko Tachiki voices the male extras; in the English dub, they're all voiced by Derek Stephen Prince), who use the same voice for all of them regardless of how old they're supposed to be. Nearly all of Anime Tenchou's appearances focus on his attempts to get Konata, whom he reveres as "Legendary Girl A", to buy something from his store. Despite his and his coworkers' efforts, this will always fail. | |

Konata lying on her back and pretend-choking on falling Cherry Blossoms. The episode later included a parody on Da Capo. | |

Brick Joke | |
| Lucky Star (Manga) / int_fe0330fb | comment |
Brick Joke: In the 143rd chapter of the manga, Konata comes to a conclusion to which end of a chocolate cornet is the head, referring to the discussion she had with Tsukasa in the very first episode. Tsukasa points out that it was two years ago. There's another one in manga volumes 6 & 7. In one strip in vol. 6, Konata's graduation prank of putting a love letter in Kagami's desk fails due to Kagami not going anywhere near her desk after the graduation ceremony. In vol. 7, Kou finds it in what is now her desk, and Love Letter Lunacy ensues until Konata happens to mention her graduation prank to Kagami. Early in the anime, Konata decides to give Kagami the nickname Kyou-channote The reasoning being that both mean "mirror" in Japanese, and Kagami decides that her nickname should be Kagami-sama (Kagami the Great), until Konata abuses it and she asks to just be addressed normally. In Episode 23, Konata uses that nickname again, well after the episode that joke was made in. | |
