As Hpulley explained, some of these female fans are still clinging onto DVDs since many anime still offer both BD and DVD formats. Anime such as Love Live have completely omitted DVDs, which has forced its female fanbase (they make up 43.4% of the Love Live fanbase as of early 2015) to upgrade to the superior BD format just to be able to enjoy the series.
The music concert discs, which are distributed by Lantis, still offers BDs and DVDs, but now we see an overwhelming BD bias, since females fans have already upgraded to BD players. So the BD = male fans and DVD = female fans does hold for the majority, but there are always exceptions nowadays.[/quote]
so basically the BD is more expensive than the DVD? Like 2 to 3 times? If that is the case.. then even if Osomatsu came close to LL in terms of total number of copies sold.. the gross amount is still far from µ's?

I just realized it now that the DVD sales of Osomatsu is higher than the BD sales. Is that usual? I am just curious.. Love Live's record of 80+K BD is far from the 35K of Osomatsu but they managed to even the odds with their DVD sales

...Whoa, chill bruh
it's just a joke lmaoooo
I do understand what you are saying about hard BL. Not to my tastes while actual romance in soft BL I can take.
Feb 8, 2016 4:54 AM by hpulley
He did, and he still hates it because he has shit taste.
Let's just say, it isn't Utapri-level in terms of visuals. It's above average but the visuals are the least important in the series.
It doesn't have to be "shit taste" either to people here or in Japan. It is just different taste.
I dropped Osomatsu-san in the second episode as well. It just isn't for me. But I would never say "Japan has shit taste" because many people there bought a show which isn't my favorite. Just different taste!
I know it is disappointing when you see shows you dislike selling well as you might think that means less chance of shows you like being made but they make so many shows these days, there has to be something you like!
Really wish anime forums could get over the difference here.
Watch what you like, buy what you love. Don't worry so much about everyone else's tastes and purchases.
it's just a joke lmaoooo

Instead of complaining why dont you try... you know.... actually watching it? Instead of assuming it's shit just because the art doesn't look like what the standard anime art looks like?
i dunno tbh, I never watched it so I have no idea about the animation quality. I am just curious, that's all.

I don't see the appeal for this Osomatsu crap. And of course Prison School isn't selling that well.
God dammit Japan, get your priorities in order, this is ridiculous.

I'll list it in case someone wants to skip it:
Manservice in general:
Episode 1
Episode 11 (First half)
Episode 16 (First half)
BL service:
Episode 16 (Second half)
Episode 17 (First half, one skit)
I listed episode 14 because of the french kiss which led to the increase of OsoIchiOso fanart... lol
cuz i didn't catch it until people started making fanart of it

You don't have to worry, majority of the fujoshi fanservice is in the later episodes so you're safe until probably ep 14 or something.

Wait, if there are only that few, it's not really fujoshi's show. I don't care too much about voice actor except for my bae favorite.

lol, okay
By handful, I mean compared to 100+ skits, there's only less than 10 I would consider pandering to girls.

I did not watch Osomatsu-san, but I like to judge anime from its cover. It looks like sh*t
I will try to watch 1st episode to see what is good about it, but that ugly character in cover does not give me any motive to watch.
You dare say my Dayon is ugly? Don't make me come over there and kick you in the face bruh.

Just a correction in the title: "Soukyuu no Fafner: Dead Aggressor - Exodus Vol.8"
Fixed, thank you.

Osomatsu san will get a second season. 100% sure about it.
