Then again, their treatment of Lucky☆Star feels very similar to how they treated Haruhi Suzumiya last spring. Back then there was absolutely no fan hype for Haruhi before it came out anyway, yet they never even bothered with a promo. Personally, it seems to me that Kyoto Animation would do this regardless of fan hype or fan devotion to their studio, as circumstances were different back with Haruhi. I wouldn't say this is a new tactic for Kyoto Animation to not worry about industry hype, as they've done this before. While nearly every other series out there has a full minute and a half trailer, Lucky☆Star gets just a few seconds of "uuuuuuuu". Unique.
Kanon (and Clannad) are totally different though, seeing as these shows are meant to appeal to a very specific group of fans, whose expectations would be very different, so it's necessary to give them something earlier. As stated by Orion, there are many devoted fans already to this franchise that wish to scrutinize their work.
