The flat lighting style is interesting. Not a big fan of the character designs themselves, though. I hope this turns out well.

I never realized how crazy japan's anime prices are..
I am really enjoying Fate/Zero season 1... but then I looked up the price for the bluray boxed set.... and I was sad. They can't be selling many copies at that price..

It might be doing well relative to other anime, but the raw numbers are still pathetic.
It did over 10k (I think) for a boxset
Crunchyroll sure are taking their time with Omega 
Hunter x Hunter 25
Wow, looks like next weeks episode's gonna be yet another recap, and just before the Heaven's Arena arc starts too. Gee, you've done a great fucking job adapting this series haven't you Deadhouse!!!

Yeah, it did. That's really good for a boxset -- it's not common for them to go over 10k.

I mean in America.. since it was released here too by Aniplex USA..
It looks to be in line with Japan's prices on other anime series.. but far out of alignment with series prices over here..

f/z still sold better than nichijou.
fuuuu i 'm still mad. why why hwy
Well, I wouldn't compare the two, but Nichibomba stings my heart everyday, man.
Everyday.
Assuming the price of a simultaneous release is price parity to prevent reverse importation.

Hot property with strong otaku appeal sells better than unknown property with barely any otaku appeal. News at 11.
but there's nothing wrong with better shows selling more! (as unusual as it may sound)f/z still sold better than nichijou.

I'm hoping it'll have an amazing OP like the first season, excited for this.

nonono, you guys got me wrong, i love f'z but nichijou deserves better. this world has o justice ssometimes

True. that does make sense..
If it was significantly cheaper here, they wouldn't sell any in japan..
guess I'll just play the waiting game and see what the price does over time..
I don't need it to be in a pretty box.. but based on what I've watched so far, I do want to own it on bluray disc.

[in before "no, it doesn't"]
Yeah, I'm just hoping that MadMan Australia announcement (or one from Funimation rescue by some negative semblance of a chance) on release comes this year.
well, it did deserve to do better than something like anohana but the world can be rather unkind

This is correct. Pricing for simultaneous releases can't be reasonable for Americans because both Japan and North America are in Blu-Ray Region A, which allows for easy reverse-importation.
Still, F/Z deserved every one of those 43k sales. Someone needs to get the goddamn F/SN remake project rolling STAT!
Err....well aside from me, there are about 5 or 6 other gaffers who bought the set too.
im sure it sold decently.

Lowest price I'm seeing is Rightstuf around $370.. that's a big pill to swallow for a 13 episode series, regardless of awesomeness.
seems to be about as good as one can expect so soon after release.. and they've only got it that cheap under the stipulation that they won't ship it to Japan.
madman amight pick it up? YES PLEASE! I don't import stuff but if i can get it locally, I can show my Nichijou supportT!!!!!!

Natsuiro Kiseki 1:
Wow, that was really bland. What an awkward way to set up the characters and create a conflict... all to set up an ending that was more "huh?" than "wow!". It's funny how anti-pilot this is too - after watching this episode, I have absolutely no clue what this show is supposed to be about.
They even tried for their own
moment but... man, unless you get
, don't even try.
Space Brothers 1:
That was a cool set up I suppose. Random sports references tie into the characters' lives! Direction that directly connects the brothers via a neat transition! Good times!
And at the very least, it has to be better than Moonlight Mile!

Oreimo season 2 announced the weekend of April 1st.
Not sure what to think personally, but twitter is exploding.

That was by far the least exciting reaction to a 'miracle' that I've ever seen. It was kind of impressive in that regard - the entire scene misfired on every possible level.

The Blu-ray box also adds a number of scenes that were cut for running time, and uncensors quite a bit of material. However, they weren't willing to go to the effort of subtitling the extra material (Einzbern Consultation Room or whatever).
i would give you nichijou manhug but i'm really really drunk now and i wouldntw want to attack a bro yeah?
and guily crown is so much better. tsugmi <# why didn't i think oft his earlier

They don't even really do anything.
It is crazy and some of us are insane.
What do you expect from a Sphere anime?

Folktales From Japan 1: This was what I thought it would be. Japanese versions of the Aesop's Fables segments from the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon of yesteryear, but played a bit more straight. This is perfectly generic kids fair that's suitable for the level 5 weaboo who actually cares about a Japanese culture that exists beyond body pillows and NES games.
Thoughtful of him to order it for you.
Well right, I meant in the sense that Tamayura is the show that it seems to mostly copying. Not that I watched anything other than the ending anyway.
Good, another person for the Kirino DF.

I dunno, there didn't seem to be anything resembling Tamayura outside of the
