Lucky Star OVA Review
The Lucky Star OVA is just what I was hoping it would be--more of the Lucky Star series without any character derailment. The OVA covers 5 or so different "stories", ranging from getting lost on a camping trip to playing Konata's MMO to a very surreal visit to a pet shop.
The DVD itself is very bare-bones. The audio is only in Japanese 2.0, and the English subtitles may be turned on or off. The only other options on the DVD are scene selection, and a textless ending. For Lucky Star fans who prefer subtitling (myself included), this DVD is exactly what you are looking for. For those who prefer the dub, this is not a 5-star purchase.
The ending itself is a "special" live-action episode of Lucky Channel, starring Shiraishi Minoru (himself) and Kogami Akira (Konno Hiromi), which is a treat to anyone who enjoyed The Adventures of Shiraishi Minoru episodes from the Extras of the other Lucky Star DVDs.

Short and a bit erratic, but fun. - Pipe_Nerd -
In my book, more Luck Star is always a good thing, and the OVA is a fun addition to the series. It IS unfortunately on the short side, and, since it tries to give some of its limited screen time to as many of the characters as it can (sometimes in amusingly surreal situations), it can feel rather haphazard. My only real complaint, though, is the live-action Lucky Channel -- it's aimless, and too long in proportion to the actual OVA.
These quibbles aside, however, I think any fan of the series will enjoy the OVA. Konata and Co. are always a lot of laugh-out-loud fun, and they don't disappoint here.

I am coming out in support of the voice actors and actresses and i think this was an incredibly dumb move though smart in terms of the economy i suppose.
Lucky Star OVA - Brent -
I really enjoyed the series of Lucky Star and highly recommend it. I was hoping that this would bring back the fun of the series, however the OVA had only the Japanese voice track and although it is a good cast I prefer my anime in English. I felt that the OVA was really well done but wish that the American voice cast was used instead of just using the subtitles. It does not reduce the overall quality of the OVA just made it slightly less enjoyable.
