According to Weekly Shounen Magazine vol.31, Koudansha announced the original anime DVD (OAD) of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei "Goku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei". These OADs are coming with the limited edition of volume 15 and 16 of the original manga to be released on Oct 17 2008 and Feb 17 2009, respectively.
DVD will be produced just as many as the number of the pre-orders.

Why don't you aquire the casting vote for the realization of the third season?

The DVD sales of the Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is around 5200-5500 copies. This number is not failure but not successful enough to move on to the third season confidently.
References
Gundam 00 22000-35000
ARIA Origination 10000-11000
Spice and Wolf 6800-7000
xxxHOLiC 4800-5000
PERSONA 3600-3800
Druaga 2700-3000

So they are planning to assess the popularity of SZS from the number of OAD sales. That's what they meant by "casting vote".
an impressively solid business...

So... while what seemed like a crappy show to me, Druaga, has less DVD sales than SZS, gets a second season even though their company is having financial issues, Shaft is holding back on another SZS? </3

I will honestly cry if they don't make a third season. But an OVA is better than nothing.

Druaga was 26 episode series from the first but they split it into two to ease the production schedule. This irregurlar series organization is getting popular. You see it in Code Geass (26 x 2 seasons) and Gundam 00 (26 x 2).
Or that may be the reason why GDH is finacially in trouble...

More miserable titles
true tears 2100
Gunslinger Girl 2 1900
Mnemosyne 1500

Sales of 5000 copies is so so, I would say.

Did we not notice DEEN doing this to all of their series last season>

Sales of 5000 copies is so so, I would say.

5000 copies is actually pretty good. Rosario + Vampire is the only Gonzo series to break 5000 DVD copies sold in four years or something.

Turns out I was correct about True Tears being more popular outside Japan than within, though.

Not to mention it's like watching a bad porno with some action.

The sales of the first season was 6300-6800. So I think Shaft had expected 6000 or more for the second season. In the web radio program "Sayonara Zetsubou Housou", Kamiya Hiroshi said "DVD wa Amari Uretenai (The ZSZS DVDs are not sold well.)"

Actually anonymous and then later on some group calling themselves Volans have finished the series. Subs for episode 5 to 7 are barebones but 8 to 13 are just like a.f.k.

You can find them on http://www.tokyotosho.com/

Limited edition! That means you have to pre-order it or you won't get a copy unless someone else sells it to you USED?

I AM IN DESPAIR!!

I am living in a world without a 3rd season of SZS!

Unfortunately Koudansha accepts pre-orders only from Japan. If you really want the raw DVD with region code 2, I can intermediate the shipping.
