NEWS: Haruhi Suzumiya: Over One Million CDs Served

Instead of "Super Driver", it should have been a variation on that of the previous series: "Broken the-show the-show".

Damn you Japanese and your weird romanisation choices, who the heck would use something like de-show instead of a real word like desho and still write it in hiragana.

This news had me laughing out loud spontaniously in a Lelouch manner, thinking of the irony of Endless Eight's quality verses success of Super Driver. It's like a evil plan that work's out, no matter what crazy experiments they're doing with the series, merchandise and the likes still sell.

I'll be literally rofl'ing if the DVDs even end up selling well

If “Endless Eight” is, as I suspect, an elaborate joke simultaneously with and at the expense of otaku, I think we’ll see that especially borne out by the current series’ eventual Japanese home video release. It may seem unfathomable to Americans to eagerly purchase multiple nearly identical episodes on DVD, especially at Japanese DVD prices, which are double or more the price of American anime DVDs. But I can already envision fanatic Japanese otaku eagerly measuring and proclaiming their otaku status by having the willingness and determination to buy all of the “Endless Eight” episodes on DVD. That’s a distinct opposition between Japanese and American otaku. Japanese fans take pride and enjoyment in spending exorbitantly on anime goods.

Thanks for the links to Bouken Des... Des... CD photos. I never get tired of seeing Aya Hirano's beautiful legs.

September 9 (9-9-9) comes on sale Aya Hirano PVs DVD (already ordered my copy @ cdjapan, of course). Hope there is a romanisation of Bouken Des... Des..., bringing the discussion to an end.
