Oooh... BD-only, or is there a DVD version too (didn't find anything when searching under DVD)? For it to be both box-only *and* BD-only would add another in both very small but growing trends.

As for the price, ¥2,180 an ep. Definitely on the lower side, which is nice. I don't think I'll end up importing this one, but this certainly doesn't hurt its chances and at least keeps it on my radar.
