Does "Lucky Star" get better over time?

Well yeah, I'm totally with you on the translating part (and I know many others are too, even though there are a lot that bashes dubs because everyone else do). Proverbs are often better translated/localized, just like a common "drinking tea" means "going to café", "to play" is usually "to hang out" unless it is small kids (and lots of other things that I can't think of now). The big problem is puns and other kind of wordplay, like saying one thing actually hints two things (both the word itself meaning two things, or the intonation), one more apparent and one more subtle. These can be hard nuts to crack and some of the nuances in the language are lost.

But professional dubs are often better than fansubs for those ignorant about Japanese and its culture, but people bash them because you translate it "soft" rather than "hard" or "literal".

As for English anime dubs I don't know, I have hardly seen anything except small bits, and since I'm comfortable enough with Japanese it will stay that way. Being knowledgable about South-East Asian culture and languages enough, I prefer more literal subs since it's easier to read what you hear, and you learn a bit on the way.

Can't believe I didn't think of it earlier.

Ghost in the Shell: SAC.

Both seasons are awesome, and while it can get a little philosophical at times, I think that your parents would be able to handle it. IIRC, both seasons are pretty serious through and through, neither containing any filler eps or anything like that.

Neco:
Yeah I liked it too,  although I think it may be a little too  tech-y  for her taste.   She's not a real big Sci-Fi fan on the whole.   But she'll sit there and watch LOTR or something,  so I was thinking if I could find  Romeo x Juliet, or  something along the lines  (I heard Magic Knight Rayearth was remastered?)  she might go for that a little more too.

Loddoss War was kind of slow going for me, so I don't think she'd sit for that either.

I've watched Serial Experiments Lain and Boogiepop Phantom with my dad.  My mom liked Inuyasha, lol.
