The Namori image is the only one worthwhile

Unless someone has that oversized Sonico statue, it might be useful. But that's a wacky bonus.

So they're shipping bikini along with DVD/blu-ray. Wow, never thought I would see this. One question: When you order the DVD and you get the bikini, does the company what size does you want the bikini like Medium, Large, etc... In case well you want to buy it for your girlfriend.

Super Sonico was one of the shows I considered following that season, but I ultimately turned it down (the poisonous preliminary reviews didn't help either). Reception appears to be mixed, but largely negative, so I don't think I feel too bad. As for the bathing suit thing, clearly the producers are trying to buy in to the stereotypical perversity of otaku. I don't know how much truth there is to the old panty obsession stereotype, but based on the sales data I've seen for this series so far, it's not cutting the mustard. Guess this is just another example of how all the T&A in the world can't get people to watch a show of perceived low quality.

Well, the article states it's a replica of Sonico's bikini, so it should fit the customer's wife perfectly...

I wonder how high this would rank on a list of weirdest bonuses to be packaged with an anime.

So it's one size fits all perhaps, and I take that as a yes, it can fit a male customer's girlfriend.

That's a pretty boring bikini they're offering.

I think he was meaning it could fit every customer's wife since Sonico is their waifu. Or something.

Imagine if people wouldn't make sweeping assumptions about shows they didn't watch or bother to find out anything about

Bandai did make those crappy sailor uniform shirts for the Lucky Star DVD's. A valuable use of financial resources indeed.

Well, not all girls can have bodies like Sonico. Also I will agree the bikini they offered is boring, completely boring and bland.

Funimation's Shuffle vol. 6 limited Edition Ender Box came with a pair of Sia panties.

No, but all Sonicos have the body of Sonico. The guys who get this aren't going to give it to a real girl now are they?

It needs frills and whatnot. The picture of Sonico in the article shows her wearing a very fancy and colourful bikini that is totally different from the clothing that is on the mannequin.
