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…

You mean people don't want to buy eight different versions of the same episode?
This is blasphemy. This is madness!
This is SPARTAAAAAA!
the lazers are firin' and the trolls are trollin'
But still THIS IS SPARTA!!! SHUT UP F*CKING PERSIAN!!
THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!!!1111
THIS IS PATRICK!
Dick Slap
THIS IS JHONNY!!!
THIS IS WHOVILLE!
HA-OOH! HA-OOH! HA-OOH!
Well, it appeared to work for the CDs. But yeah, they should have realised that even though the series could have pulled almost every stunt in the book without losing a single fan, boredom is a very powerful motivator and simply repeating the same episode over and over was clearly a bridge too far.
THIS IS A WASTE OF DESKTOP SPAAAAAACEEEE!!!!
Srsly though, can anyone tell me if you only need to buy 1 DVD and if it has anything else but the Eight?
Shit, never mind. Thar's some sort of "Search Bar" near the top of this page...
One more thing. Bandai better not pull the same shit for the R1 release. Hopefully, they can figure a way to encode it so that only the different parts of the episode take up disc space.
Yeah! Rot in the shelves! Hahahah! ^_^
You'r Tongue Will ROT!
haruhi fag
Your face will die !
Ganon ftw !
As expected
It couldn't be helped.
^Best excuse when shits happens.
Yeah, bite me.
don't you mean "it followed the original way"
Awesome, so will we have a season 3 now?
you mean season 2?
I see what you did there.
This is not technically a second season, it is "new material" or some such.
Artefact tells the truth. Especially considering they aired the first season along side the material. I think they wanted to plug the gaps ready for the real season 2 which is coming...........in my dreams (mmm Nagato).
In other news, I want more Haruhi-chan.
endless 8 never happened. NEVER!!
Don't worry, denial is part of the grieving process.
If we wish hard enough maybe it'll become true...
If only we had Sasaki's power at disposal (instead of that bitch Haruhi's) this could happen.
OWNED
i wonder if it sold over 9000 copies?
It's OVER NINE THOUSAAAAAAAAAAND!
it's UNDER 9000!
It doesn't make a bit of difference guys!
/facepalm
The sales are inert.
even your mother sold over 9000
im confused... o_o

Only the ones who don't know how to use Bittorrent.
Only the ones who don't know how to torrent.
A little while back, I heard about KyoAni trolling K-ON fans with the promise of panstu....which were not actually on moe girls. I joked, "If someone doesn't stop KyoAni's trolling, soon they're gonna start shitting in boxes with cute girls printed on them and sell them for 6330 yen."
Sadly....I was right.
