Lucky Star
A cheerful, deliberately lightweight slice-of-life comedy about high school friendships built on shared interests in anime and everyday pleasures, with minimal plot and maximum affection for its characters.
Having fun in school, doing homework together, cooking and eating, playing video games, watching anime. All those little things make up the daily life of the anime-and chocolate-loving-Izumi Konata and her friends.
