Seems like it's not just two cour, but also a 26 episode series at least. As opposed to only being 24 episodes.

Still I'm sure I can hear someone thinking 'Why can't this be nine instead of thirteen?"

(If this thread already exists lock this one. I searched, but found nothing)

Kadokawa, that's why. Makes me grateful they rarely put out anything I'm interested in anymore.

[MelancholicMariya]

Can anyone tell if that's 7,180 yen with discount or if that's the actual price?

Though seeing as hissatsu just mentioned Kadokawa.. uhh.

13 x 2ep @ > JPY7000 each for a comedy with relatively low production values? That's brutal. Good luck with your price trolling, Chairman Kadokawa...

I assume you missed the first two episodes? I mean.. the production values were amazing, I can't say anything for episode 3 as I have not seen it.

That little sausage was intense. These aren't low production values. Also 7,000 for Kadokawa, which I believe they often price up at the 9,000 range, is rather great. Doesn't seem to be any "trolling" going on here.

I saw Episode 0, and I wasn't all that impressed visually. Also, is there anything Kadokawa does that you wouldn't approve of? As I recall, you were also in favor of how Kadokawa made a train wreck of Haruhi season 2...

13 volumes, fuck you so hard Kadokawa. But it's amazing, so I have to buy it.

Why the hell does this company always charge so much more, on average, than any of the other major distributors? I wish companies would be more like Aniplex.

That's the list price. (Edit: No, that's with the discount, 7980 list. Now that's more reasonable.)

Still, Japanese fans are pleased with these prices. For example, from that page:

日常たけえ！！(Nichijou is so cheap!!)*
角川ってバカなの？(Can Kadokawa really be this reasonable?)*

*Translation quality may vary



Edit: There are of course those that have noticed it's even cheaper than GOSICK.

[muhootsaver]

Non-discounted price is 7980yen.

Amazon listing for the BDs

So many volumes... but I must buy them! And what's up with Amazon and not getting Vol. 1 in the lists? they did the same thing with Sengoku Otome at first. It can be found standalone here for now though.
