This fact makes those AKB48 CD piles even more maddening.

This episode hit me hard because I've had these same feelings about work/study before.
Also makes me feel bad about all the shit I've said about boyfriend-kun before, but that doesn't mean he isn't faultless:
The season of lewd continues, even in the backlog season.

You weren't alone, I liked it too at the time and it wasn't my first Ali Project song!
I'm in the same boat fwiw.

True...
I suppose that isn't too bad even if singles are about a fiver here.
20,000 yen? WHAAAAAAAAAAT
Sorry, meant to say BD box sets, typed the wrong thing. 13 episodes per box. Apologies for the confusion. I'm tired right now.

Both boxes hyperbombed in sales, btw: 1,411 so far for box one, 932 for box two.

Didn't know that they bombed, but I think it makes sense. Even more so if the live action movie didn't do all that well either.
Space Brothers is also kind of aimed at kids too (it airs Sunday mornings) so looking at BD sales is not seeing the whole picture I would think.

Yeah, I was thinking that it's both a kids show and heavily serialized, which contributes to the set only appealing to super nerds.

Interactions among the crew and fanarts make it hard to rank them...At this early morning hour Id have
Natsuki + Yuki > Yamada > Haru
Akira Agarkar Yamada is probably the best old character Ive encountered in the genre.
Sure, but then who are they even trying to sell the BD boxes to? Or do you think they only made a few thousand copies and figured "well, if anyone buys these that would be nice".

The fuck does fan art have to do with anything?

Oh my god, I'm just over one year away from having to move into a retirement home.

Christmas Cake Culture
Yeah, I think this is it. Alot of normal non-anime shows sell DVDs of their episodes too so I don't think this show is anything different.
It also even has sponsors and everything (JAXA has some kind of connection to the show) so its not your typical anime production.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
It grossed nearly US$20mil at the box office, which isn't a lot internationally but isn't too awful in Japan (one of the top 40 grossing films of the year). Anyone got access to the Oricon charts from December when the film was released on disc? I'm not saying it was a smash hit because it really wasn't - it's no Umizaru or Thermae Romae - but I don't think it was a megabomb. I guess it depends on the film's budget.
I actually looked this up when firehawk talked about it before. The movie was not a bomb but it was a disappointment. Considering the promotion, the actors and the budget it probably didn't make enough to justify it being made.

Can't find sales figures though.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-12-25/japan-animation-dvd-ranking-december-17-23
"The standard edition of the live-action film adaptation of Space Brothers manga sold 4,798 copies to land at #21."
All I could find for numbers.

At the point I'm at, it doesn't seem like a western friendly show.

Too good for the west!
Hataraki Man 4
You guys are right. This was depressing. Not in a maudlin way, but most of the episode is spent watching Shinji have a generally terrible day.
His relationship with Matsukata really sucks. When they're together, they barely seem interested in each other. But perhaps even evaluating that relationship would take energy both of them would rather spend on work.
I can definitely empathize with his insecurities. It's especially rough because you can see just how isolated he is at his job. And just as Matsukata won't burden him with her troubles, he can't seem to open up to her either.
I guess it just shows you why so much stuff is set outside of the workplace.
Speaking of renting music, today's episode is brought to you by Japanese media rental chain Tsutaya! Their name appears in the background on three separate occasions in this episode.

There were a lot of shots like this in the episode. It really wears you down.

With that kind of attitude, the waiter could have been the protagonist of a harem anime.

because the dubbers are fucking dumb, racist and stupid...

Do you wake up lamenting the status of anime licensors in the West every day?
You don't?

He wakes up, makes coffee, throws a few darts on a picture of a sellected 4kids executive then continues his productive day by reading GAF. After preparing the day's Saban effigy to be burned he posts on animeGAF about how anime in the west is dead.
