Haruhi Fans Prize Fools After All?

chibi-nagato-yuki-otaku-bait

The sales figures for the third DVD of Endless Eight have been released, and they serve either as a damning indictment of Haruhi fandom or rather strong praise for Kadokawa’s marketing ability…

In its first week, the first volume of Endless Eight sold 14,104 copies, and the second volume 12,708, whilst the recently released third or 5.428571th volume managed 12,278 – DVD buying Haruhi fans are evidently 95% willing to spend $35 an episode on eight all but identical episodes of glib moe marketing.

By comparison, the pre-Endless Eight volume managed 21,812.

With fans so willing to reward such behaviour with their patronage it seems no wonder the industry is in the state it is
