Lucky Star as an anime will probably fall flat in America, given how many uh...shall we say...mainstream people tolerated the first few episodes at the onset. The downside to Lucky Star is that while it's intensely funny to people who get the references, it's pretty bland to those who don't.
It's probably just the composition of people in my high school's anime club, but the show was not well-appreciated in there. In fact, a third of the people simply turned away to play Magic. I wanted to smack them.
