Damn, it was only a matter of time before this started happening.

It's a real shame because this series would be the perfect anime. It's just so fucking funny so it's just sad to see it getting cut down to be something like a 12 episode series.

Oh well, better than nothing i guess.

So technically, this show could go on... forever?

well seriously i'll buy it...ASAP if there are FREAKING imports in our country zzzz

If I could import DVDs from Japan I would do it but I can't sadly. Darn.

no 2 episodes in any show live action/anime/or whatever, no matter how good the episodes are would get me to spend an equivalent of close to 70 dollars, i could buy a game for that and get hours of play time.

i hope the series goes at least past kusunoki's arc so i can see hakua

I wish there was a way besides international imports in order to directly support the studio and/or staff working on KamiNomi's anime adaptation. The series just gets so good later on (bar some filler captures), especially when and show up.

So sad.. But I still hope it will cover up till the end of goddesses arc XD

Old news is old. The second season was confirmed before the first had even started.

:| You know, I just think they have such great potential to be a great business but they just have shitty business ideas.

For Example: Selling two episodes for $50 is wayyyyy too high. They won't be able to even compete with the other market because no one will have the incentive to buy two episodes for $50. If you can buy a series of an anime show in America for what, $10 - $50, who the hell in their right mind would buy a whole whopping two episodes for $50. :| If they want customers, they better go down on their prices, otherwise, they'll end up losing to their competition. $5 - $10 for two episodes sounds much more reasonable than $50. Of course, if some of us are filthy rich (Which I highly doubt :| ) then what's going to happen is that everyone is going to see this series fall short.

Also, I'd advise these anime industries to get either new marketers or business managers :\

I'd be fascinated to know what your business credentials are. What is your experience in selling home media of niche animated TV shows? How much do you know about average sales and the history of the industry? Production costs? The differences between Japanese and American markets? Anything?


I do it all the time. No, I'm not filthy rich, I just have a decent full-time job, and I value anime highly enough to pay a lot.


Define the competition. And no, foreign releases (which are generally of lower quality and take longer to come out) really do not count. If foreign releases haven't already driven down prices inside Japan after all this time, it's not going to happen in the future either.


$5 for two episodes? Where will the literally ten times as many customers needed to bring in the same sales as $50/2-ep will come from. People who say "lower prices and you'll sell more!" never consider just how much more you'd need to sell. If you cut prices to 1/10th or 1/5th but only sell 2x more, you screwed yourself horribly and are going to go out of business.


They will undoubtedly be beating down your door with job offers.
