Hmm...I doubt it, seeing as this series promises to be even more otaku-ish. As Kaioshin-dono stated earlier, the humor of the series relies on how well you can get all the references to games and anime and stuff. Most casual fans will likely be out of the loop, and miss many of these jokes. I don't even expect myself to get it all.
Then again, what'd I expect from a series where the promotion art features Wii controllers? I'm still interested in watching, though, simply because I absolutely love such trivia. |

Having read the manga I can say Lucky Star is not really that otaku-centric. It's just got some reference of general otaku and fandom culture (for example, like getting addicted to net games) that really anyone who is not a complete anime n00b will get. A fairly general level of geeky-ness is completely sufficient to enjoy Lucky Star, which I think anyone who visits this board - those of you who actively seek out anime directly from the source - are already qualified. The level of otaku joke in Lucky Star is only really at the Haruhi level at best, hell the Gyakuden Saiban/Phoneix Wright joke in Haruhi anime is more hardcore than anything I've read in Lucky Star. Things like Nadesico and Gunbuster which pokes fun at specific anime series are more otaku-centric than Lucky Star.

As Animaniacs proved over and over and over again --- you can positively be reeking of cultural references, inside jokes, and trivia, have less than a quarter of the audience catch those and still be amazingly funny.
What I've seen of the manga humor so far says they can be pretty funny without worrying about "Penny Arcade transience".

I still find him moe. Heck, I find it relaxing reading his posts after a long, stressful day at work, and I'm developing warm, brotherly feelings towards him. In many ways, he reminds me of Petoko from Petopeto-san.

Not into the whole moe craze as most people are but looking at the scans gives me that good old Ichigo Mashimaro vibe along with the Azumanga Daioh vibe that everyone already mentioned.
Ichigo Mashimaro is an exception... it's an interesting moe...... /ashamed

From Kurogane's blog.
Haruhi 2 instead of Lucky Star? April Fool's Joke? Of course...no source provided. lol

It's obvious it's an April Fool's Joke. Kyoto Animation planned Lucky Star to air that time. Haruhi 2 won't be until somewhere in 2008. That's obvious. Besides, I don't celebrate April Fool's Day anyway anymore (that was loooooooooong ago when I stopped celebrating due to mutantous prank my sister pulled on me).

It's an interesting series, but I'm just afraid too many people will be disappointed by hype for no reason. KyoAni is certainly on the high mark in many people's eyes at the moment, but one must still keep their expectations in check.
Regardless, 5 more days~
