How do I keep letting myself get a week behind on this? Bah. Anyway, yeah...I still barely understand what's going on, but
I guess Asuka's gonna fuck shit up now with that giant mecha, huh
?

Final episode in a few hours, so I guess we'll see what happens then!

Only 10 episodes for this? Oh Diomedia.

At least it may confirm a second season.
 
Mark your calendars , everyone ... pirates will be back in february 2014 to steal my heart the show !

Aren't you bodacious enough to want more of Marika, Chiaki, and Gruier ?

Mystery at the Sherlock Holmes museum! I'd watch that!

You know they'd spend the whole episode wondering why the Circle line is red on the Tube map, or where one of the weird stickers on the escalators came from, instead of anything remotely connected to Conan Doyle :p

But K-ON! is the ever-sustaining merchandising juggernaut! I think that affords them a certain autonomy when picking their projects.

It does. K-On is a very useful bargaining chip.

What.. clever plot in this show? what is this? although the writer got the dialogue swapped in the end lawl.

Great episode, very enjoyable till the end.
 
Yeah though that does also mean it's sold in twice the amount of volumes too.

But I'm just talking about how much it cost initially, not how much it made in the end.

But you have to wonder how much of a cut KyoAni gets from all that and what goes to the creator, the merch manufacturer, and the various sponsors.

Well since we're talking about what they can or can't do, I'm sure they got a ton of cred for turning K-On from the crappy manga into the juggernaut that it is.

K-On also makes an insane amount of money so even if KyoAni's cut is small, its still a pretty large number in real terms (unless they had some kind of stupid contract that paid them a flat fee which I doubt).

Enough.

Perhaps someone is able to shed more light on this, but I've always had the assumption that KyoAni are generally astute with how they operate.
 
Why should an anime studio get something of non-anime related sales?
I think I'm missing some points.

Though the K-On! movie was very succesful last year, so they should have enough money (for an anime studio).

+ all the Chuu2 LN sales.

Why wouldn't they? It depends on whatever contracts they entered. You have to imagine though that it wasn't the publisher of K-On who approached KyoAni to do the series but it was most likely KyoAni looking for something they wanted to do and settled on K-On.

In the first case, the contract could be onerous against them but in the latter case, KyoAni would have some say regarding royalties and stuff.

Looks like MVM of all companies have picked up the UK local license for both Bake and Nisemonogatari for both DVD and BD. Will be interesting to see how pricing works out on those.

Yeah, they seem to have a lot to do with K-ON! beyond just the show it's self, so they probably get more than enough from it.
I suppose so. Just throwing that thought out there.

Well there is the KyoAni store that sells some merch from K-ON! and other shows they've worked on, some of it you can only find on there. Not sure how that is all handled, but there's that.

A beautifull tale of frienship comes to a halt. Also censorship.

I can't help but think that the 2 characters had their roles reversed in the final scene ... because it should have been the other way around.

Overall nice episode with some nice girl talk.

But this main character has the biggest heart around. A total competition for the dokidoki main heroine.

There's hope yet for the subbed commentary tracks!

I doubt there will be for Nisemonogatari since they are being produced for other territories, though I'd hope Bakemono will.

Not that I don't have the US Bake set already, but it'd be nice to have Nise on disk for a price I can personally justify.
 
Why are so many people buying K-ON! merchandise if the show is over? Is there still a manga going or something?
Because people like the characters and the show. It's not like the fans just up and disappear after a popular show or manga is over.
Also wasn't there a manga sequel featuring azunyan ?

There was, but it ended last year. There was the other girls in college as well, but they ended that as well last year.

I remember the Aus DVD release of Nise listing the commentaries as an extra so maybe it's just some dumb region A thing.

Oh, if the Aus disks have them, then we'll almost certainly get them here - I'd be astonished if the UK disks aren't just represses of the Aussie ones.

Yeah, and I guess new fans come along after the show is done as well. Pretty dumb question.

How much new merchandise have they made of K-ON! since it ended?

Well that's a hard question to answer. Does the point when the movie came out in home video count as it being over? But if you want something really recent, there was a 1/8 scale Nodoka figure made by Alter that was released just a little over 2 weeks ago.
Oh and there's a complete music collection being released pretty soon, as well as new record set
As in actual records you play on a record player
, if those haven't been released yet.
 
Robotic Notes 21

Going to be high on my soundtrack of the year list. Otherwise just normal episode of Robotic Notes. Not bad or good just completely average.
 
Sgt Keroro Episode 218 or "Keroro Platoon 0080: War In The Mouth"

Part B of this episode was definately the best part for me this time. A great sequel to the events of Episode 10 and the 'Gundam' battle in Keroro's mouth was better excecuted than quite a few Gundam battles I've seen recently*.

Part A has full CGI which is not to everyone's taste. The story was really sweet though .

*I haven't seen Gundam Unicorn Episode 6 yet and the last Gundam series I watched was Gundam AGE so...

The Gargantia site blog has a low-res version of a new key visual, along with an announcement that they'll be giving away 8,000 copies of a free blu-ray containing the first two episodes of the show at Anime Contents Expo at the end of this month. Bandai must love flushing money down the toilet.

Let's consider the world we live in:

Anime Mirai 2013 Blu-ray on sale at ACE 2013 at 3800yen each: 1,000 copies made

Gargantia Blu-ray with ep1-2 given away for free at ACE 2013: 8,000 copies made

Lol.
