Wow, a $340 DVD with 90 minutes of show on it.

Nice...

Oh, but if 90,000 people buy it than it'll only be $64! What a bargain!

The 52 people who have purchased it already (of which, 51 of them are on the Japanese side), all basically want to attend this private party they are throwing and could care less about the DVD.

Well, it might be a nice way to sell tickets to a private party (which is in Japan, of course), but it sure isn't going to sell any DVDs.

Not to mention the preview is scary as heck.

Humbug to celebrities. First they waste precious ink in our newspapers with their shenanigans, now two of them are working alongside I.G.

The DVD might have been worth having as camp (not of course for $300), but per the preview it's just scary, as are they Smile

Good thing seiyuu and master animators are never celebrities. Laughing

It seems like there is one guy named "Bob" who would.

Other than that guy, no, noone outside of Japan.

Update! It seems like there have only been 54 orders for about 3-4 days now.


So I guess that's how many they will sell! You can't even order only 54 DVDs to be pressed, let alone the other various crap that it came with... At 30,000 yen each, that's about $16,200

oops.

I hope they have investment insurance.

There's no talkback thread connected to the video on ANN, so this was the closest thread I could find. I like fanservice, but even I have my limits. Watch this 3D CGI POS, then I dare you to rip on Witchblade's fanservice! It was more action/drama than comedy like Abunai Sisters, but it had infinitely better & more believable storytelling & less fanservice per minute than this animated crap! Big deal... spoiler[They Shoot Guns! Just another way to get their boobs to jiggle...]

There is a thread, I remember reaching it from a link on the front page although I can't see it there now.
Anyway, the thread itself is still in plain sight:
