Sorry for the broken English there, hehe, I just woke up when I wrote this. Anyway, I was fully aware of Sentai's original press release, but at that point it was still mere speculations. I mean, if the show bombed (both here and in Japan), I doubt they would still release BDs just because they already said so in a previous PR. So my point was simply that this news might be the confirmation that thiswas the right call to make. Again, sorry if I didn't make clear the first time around (as you might have guessed, English isn't my mother tongue  ).

I actually thought you were commenting on the underwhelming sales figures... Glad to see BSP selling well, and Hyouka, though I wish Vol. 1 would get past 10,000... Not that there is much of a chance of a 2nd season of Hyouka... I think they are going to complete the novels by the end of the season, with only a couple of side stories left for OADs and BD extras... Just like Toradora! |

A hint...English subtitles ;p |

I'm pleased to see Bodacious Space Pirates selling well (relatively well?). I can't help but wonder if a significant share of those sales are motivated by the schoolgirl hijinks parts that nearly drove me away from the series rather than the cool parts and its other noteworthy qualities, but I suppose I shouldn't complain since those parts are inseparable and one must reward another. I also like seeing The Girl Who Leapt Through Time selling relatively well. I haven't seen it yet, but from what I can tell, it's the sort of thing that I might like and would want to succeed. (And the schoolgirl stuff never turned into anything awful or unpleasant... I'm just not into it)
The Toy Story trilogy set has sold well. Not as well as Nisemonogatari III and the juggernaut that is Mobile Suit Gundam UC, of course, but well. (I do wonder if the gap might be closed some by the DVD sales figures)
Have you had a change of opinion on the series? I remember that you were bored by it. |

It is still incredibly boring, but at least it shows that the BD buying crowd has taste. |

Well, the BD cover isn't exactly the most tasteful thing ever...

These are the kinda posters that were being released in magazines to promote the series to otaku...   
So I think its safe to say that at least a portion of its fanbase liked it for the cute girls. |

"Taste" is subjective. I try my hardest to avoid that word when discussing the medium. I enjoyed DOG DAYS and Fate/Zero. Both weren't on the same end of the sales spectrum, but entertaining enough for me to buy. |

That's not what I meant by, "schoolgirl hijinks!" This is why I drink. Please let me have my delusions! At least for a little while!
I'm sorry to hear that. Have you considered treatment? |

It's funny how online communities work. You give a guy a little heads up on how to avoid conflict, and a completely uninvolved someone takes it as I'm provoking them

Well, she was responding to a question that I had posed. Besides, I didn't see you as giving advice for avoiding conflict, but as advice for avoiding being interesting. |

All it takes is one hot-headed fan to pop in here and start firing off labels like "elitist" and "snob". Beware of those ones when using "taste". |

Portion of it yes,but majority no.This series has a light novel and this is last BD released so we can safely assume that people do know that this is false advertising.Besides the same who buy this will also buy something like Gundam Unicorn who just likes kicking ass on sales. |
