This is awesome. It was sure I was getting this even before we had this info. Lots of great extra here. The box will probably be gorgeous!

Sure hope so. Three episode discs will probably be ¥8000+. Nice extras though and yay artbox.

Better than 13 volumes, but not by much.

Not happening for me. 11 months is a long time to invest in a series, especially with a very good one being released at the same time and another promising one next season. Maybe if it was Haruhi. Damn you Kadokawa.

Never got an import with that many volumes. There is a first for everything.

I actually wonder if this will affect sales similarly to Nichijou. Everyone kinda loved Nichijou but wouldn't buy it due to its ridiculous length. I mean, it's still going.

I'd say this has better chances of selling than Nichijou, despite the length. There's a lot of focus on the main four characters as opposed to the random cuts to minor characters in Nichijou. People can get attached to Eru and Mayaka better than Yukko or Mio.
