If the Op is a pretty hardcore otaku, they'll probably enjoy it, but otherwise, even if they do enjoy it the reasons are superficial.
And really, it's not as great a show as it's cracked up to be... still can't believe ADV had the gall to liscence it...

I really don't think you need to be that "hardcore" to enjoy Lucky Star - most of its comedy is based on the character interactions, everyday situations, and fairly generic otaku behavior (Konota's collecting quirks, playing video games all night, dying to go to a "special event" voice actor's concert, etc). I don't recall anything that made me go "geez, glad I watched <insert show here> or else that whole episode wouldn't have made sense." I suppose that puts me in the 3rd portion of it's fanbase; the ones didn't watch it because of Haruhi, and who probably didn't "get" all of it, but still enjoyed it.
