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…
I don’t know about the DVDs, but the Endless Eight TV episodes were too much. I think that 3 loop episodes (start loop, loop, end loop) would have been enough.
I wish people would stop complaining about endless eight. We got our second season. So be happy that you got anything, also, Endless 8 was probably made to test out the Haruhi fanbase AND so that we feel Yuki’s pain… We COMPLAIN so much and alot of previous fans hate Haruhi now because of it. Yuki went through it how many THOUSAND times?? How would you like to be Yuki? So DON’T complain.
The dvds are selling pretty well, nothing compared to the first season but still more then many others. The disappearance movie will be worth the wait and disappointment so I wish people would stop hating on Haruhi… You all know your gonna watch the movie in cinemas, or get it online or buy it once its out on dvd.

Haruhi is an amazing anime and light novel series and I hope Kyoani does a big hit with the adaption of the beat Haruhi book so far, and return Haruhi to her fame and glory.
Which is better the Haruhi series or the Twilight series?
HELLO SEASON THREE!
