Endless Eight Volume 1 Sales Announced

Hetalia's been selling consistently well i hear (Studio DEEN's best-selling series in recent memory, it's even outselling Higurashi!). at 7 episodes per DVD with bonus content included, it's not hard to see why. Vol. 4 is the end of the Season 1 episodes, but i'm sure the Season 2 DVDs will continue this trend.

PASTAAAAAAAAAAA!

Considering the lack of testosterone in "normal" Japanese males it isn't surprising that the Japanese Otaku's have gladly bended over for Kadokawa and KyoAni.

Otaku Personal Motto:
Endless buttrape is Endlessly good.

Japanese fans are like sheep.

What's that Tenipuri supposed to be? I thought they were already done with the nationals?

And Haruhi sold way too much, but it was to be expected. Anyone thinking it would have sold less, was clearly underestimating the fanboys base. Those guys will buy horse crap in a box, as long as it's got the logo of their favorite show.

...yeah, makes me wonder why Kadokawa didn't just release horse crap in a box instead. Would have saved them a lot of trouble, and the result would have been pretty much the same.

14,000 is still too much. I read somewhere that the break-even point for anime regarding DVD sales is somewhere around 5,000 (give or take a few hundred), so KyoAni's still probably making money off this.

I can somewhat understand decent sales for the first volume at least. EE 1 was different from all the other EE episodes, and EE 2 of course comes with it. The last volume with EE 7 and EE 8 might not do too badly either. I would think (and hope) the two middle volumes would fall badly in sales, but never underestimate the collector's mentality of Japanese otaku.

those dvd's should be free and used for promotional purposes...
...forget i said that if they were used that way the series would definetely die. geez is sad, i finally saw the show just to see what all the fuzz was about and i feel sad because it's a rather good show.

The Japanese seriously piss me off sometimes.

Kyon-kun demwa~!

>It does however sadly demonstrate that there are those otaku willing to buy anything, with even the most outrageous antics from production staff still forgiven if marketed with a sufficient enough dose of moe…
>a sufficient enough dose of moe…
>dose of moe
>moe

Now you realize Haruhi is actually a shitty attempt at comedy, however since its character designs are moe otakus and retarded fangirls just love it.

Tenipuri is an awful sports anime which catters to fangirls and faggots.

Queen’s Blade is shit, but its still better than most hentai OVAs due the lack of huge mosaic censorship and the inclusión of some sort of half-baked elaborated background, instead of the "DURRRR man meets girl at *insert random location*, sex ensues along with cheesy dialogue lines out of fucking nowhere during it, climax. Same man goes and sex other chick, repeat, climax -usually orgy-, then Credits with subpar jpop theme" hentai anime plots on almost all cases.

Tales of the Abyss and Hetalia are fine. But thats it.

Tales of Abyss loosing to EE's DVD sales by 10,341 is surely a blasphemy..

BUUUUUUUUUU...!!!

Je suis une fougère :3

Hell yeah, Hetalia! >w<b
I knew it would go far...

YEAH HETALIA!! (loving russia and china's marukaite chikyuu versions)

I expect the other sales will do worse because some fans probably wanted a disk with at least the first endless eight episode, and they'll have no need for the other ones. Don't give up hope yet, Artefact. There's still a chance for abysmal sales.

Of the first two episodes inside the first DvD, I think the first episode is worth the purchase. It's a tight and well written tale involving time traveling and a nice tie into older episodes.

The next few releases will show us all the true stupidity or well discerning tastes of the Japanese otaku. kyotard is so fucking random in what they release with a entertaining romp of 'K-On' into the fuck feast with a barbed wire dildo of '~haruhi'.

I'm silenced by the hollow headed otakus...

ani-trolls sited. begin extermination sequence.

Romans 7:25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! ,

ITT: People becoming annoyed because people like something that they don't.

14,104 DICK slaps for all those RETARDS !

Holy SHIT, 14,104 RETARDS on 1st week?! o.O

14,104 dumbs haruhi .

Poor Tales of the Abyss... ._.

Well yes, the first episode of Endless Eight WAS actually marginally different to all the others (except the last one), so you'd expect it to sell at least reasonably better. Wait until the next 2, which contain NO content of any value whatsoever come out if you want to see KyoAni and Kadokawa metaphorically bent over a rail and raped.

14,104 Haruhi

You sure that wasn't 14.104?

SON, I AM DISAPPOINT

I don't think many of the fans understand the symbolism behind endless eight... They just get pissed off because their pea-sized brains can't appreciate each episode for it's individual differences. Eight in numerology equals infinity, but I think a lot of people just ignore the mystical/metaphysical elements in most anime, including TMoHS. Moe.

yes, Kyoany punish!! punish!!

DVD endless eight not much sales

moe rhymes with shit

oh wait,

sorry

moe is shit

I guess most people would buy the earlier episodes of the arc. The interesting sales will be the DVD containing Episode 3-7.

This is DVD only.. right? how about BD? I mean not only for this show but for other show as well. I really want to see BD - DVD sales comparison.

I hated Queen's Blade with a passion, and I'm genuinely disappointed that this outsold the latest DVD by such a huge margin.

This is the first e8 dvd. I'm sure the 2nd-4th will sell ~half of it

Time to place another order for Hetalia.

WTF!!??? Now I want to question the morality but seeing that the figures are above the average this seems pretty ingenius as a marketting ploy

I find it amazing that people buy DVDs at all these days. Downloading it, I can understand, but it's all about Blu-ray now.

Is Hetalia really that good? I personally have not try it

Grew bored of anime because its all moe crap now.

anime has lost it way, it once used to be cool, now its for nerds

fucking otaku are killing the industry, they'll buy any old shit as long as its got schoolgirls in it.

Moe is dead

okay assuming die hard Haruhi fans buy 100 dvd for each episode... thats mean there still 1000 Haruhi maniac that will buy anything, even dog shit with S.O.S logo on it.

I really pity them....
