Lucky Star has lots of game/anime/manga/japanese culture references and sometimes it's funny.
But should you watch the show because of that? Not really.

The main goal of Lucky Star is to make you say "Bro, I feel that". The characters' dialogues are so realistically casual that you get the feeling you've been in those situations before, even if you never have. The characters, timeless art style, goofy background music and the overall feeling of coziness do magic and make it one of the most unique slice of life anime shows. And should I even mention that Konata is the most accurate representation of gamers and anime fans ... out there?

I first watched it in 2008. 10 years later I decided to revisit it with a more critical mind. I thought maybe it wouldn't be as good as I remembered it to be. Boy was I wrong. It delivers every time.

I think some people didn't like the show because they had wrong expectations. If you want to recommend it to somebody, tell them to not expect anything at all. That's the only way of going into it. Relax and catch the vibe.

It's a simple one minute animation, but it's also a story of true love.

It's funny, cute, romantic and wholesome at the same time.
The clay animation is of great quality and really shows how much time, love and soul the author has put into it.
The ending was quite unpredictable and caught me off guard in a good way.
And the most important thing is the meaning behind the final scene: it's a blessing to find a person who will understand, support and accept you for who you are.

To sum it up, the short is great and deserves more praise and critical acclaim.
When I first found it, I ... rewatched it 5 times in a row and recommended it to my friends.
Just go watch it.
