The long awaited (at least by the jeering masses) Endless Eight DVD release has occurred, and a variety of visitors to the Akihabara shops at the forefront of marketing such DVDs gloat over sales described as “mortal.”
The displays can be seen to be attracting a lot of interest.
“Experts enjoy Endless Eight by watching the swimsuit scenes in each!” Even store displays couldn’t resist taking jabs at the DVD: “The summer that won’t end! orz”
The previous Haruhi DVD did neither spectacularly well nor spectacularly badly, but certainly demonstrated poor sales for a supposed queen of anime.
Store staff asked about how the Endless Eight DVD is selling called sales “mortal,” hardly a reassuring sign. Kadokawa themselves expect as much.
However, Oricon’s own daily anime DVD sales rankings currently show the DVD to be at number one, albeit with little serious competition; just what level of sales this will amount to will be known soon enough…
Mortal? More liek immortal m i rite
my,my oh my
It was the trolling of the century, what did they expect?
the problem is that sales with be lets say between 10k to 30k copies. there already peopels not from japan I know is going to buy it.
Lets say to going trol us again the sale will be still great. I only don’t understand the suport of it.
they should have tried using chapters in DVD. Different chapters for the different scenes, maybe as special feature?
Oh yeah i forgot. this is KyoAni we’re talking about.
