I fully expect no R1 release for Lucky Star.

If it weren't for the Kadokawa/Kyoto Animation combination and the prior history of releasing a number of "very Japanese" shows into this market, I might agree with you. As it stands, it wouldn't surprise me at all to see Kadokawa sell it here (since they own it anyway, there's no licensing cost). There are a number of shows even
more "niche"/limited-in-appeal than this one already being released. Of course, time will tell, though... There's really no way to know, of course.
