The blu-ray disks.
They were like twice the price of comparable series and since it wasn't that popular or special in the first place nobody wanted to pay that much.

No they weren't, it's a flimsy excuse made up by desperate Kyoanifags to explain why the show "flopped" and nobody who knows anything about anime pricing believes it. It cost as much as any other comparable show.

How Cartoons work in America:
Network needs a show so sponsors pay network money
Network commissions a series, thereby owning the rights to it
Sponsors pay network. Network has already paid animators
Animators work as long as there are more commissions (more seasons, or new shows)

How Cartoons work in Japan:
Animators need a TV slot so they can show what they've made
Animators purchase broadcast time from a TV network to show their cartoon, animators keep the rights
Sponsors pay network. Animators make their money back on merchandise and DVD/BD sales
Animators work regardless of success

Holy crap. How many BDs are there? I'm trying to wrap my head around this.

If things could be different and still sell well we would have an actually variety. The "cute girls doing cute things" has been around for a long time and usually sells well to very well. Even a small change to "somewhat cute girls with flaws doing hilarious things in a skit show" has the potential to sell like shit. It's a pessimistic way to look at things but I'm glad it got animated at all and at least had a chance.
>>
it sold poorly because it was a shitty unfunny unoriginal pile of horseshit that only autistic babbies can enjoy

Found a few sources saying the RRP was 7980yen for a Nichijou BD volume, there were 13 volumes in all so 103740yen for all of them.
From google 103740 JPY = 1130.68 USD

>>79337918

Had some good jokes but it didn't have 1% of the charm Nichijou did.

So, assuming it gets licensed in the west, how much do you think they would actually price it?
>>
>>79337828
Probably a typo, it would make more sense for each volume to be 798 yen, the whole series then costs just over 100 USD which is more in line with current pricing models.

>>79336634
Nice retort, as expected from a Nichijou fan! Epic!

Because it was unfunny and was only liked by a small niche of very vocal and butthurt fans.

That's for DVD. We're talking BDs. Those are way more expensive in Japan. It's not a typo. It really was over $1000 for the whole thing.

Japanese people are really so idiotic that they's pay ten times more for Bluray than regular DVD's?

Not sure anon, I'm usually the one shafted by region lock bullshit but for once living in Australia pays off.

I read somewhere that the animated series boosted the sales of the manga, I can't find a source on it though so it was probably here on /a/.
>>
>>79338348
As Nichijou shows...no. But they will pay 7-8 times because MUH SUPERIOR FORMAT.
>>
>>79338450
Out of curiosity, did the "MUH X" shit start up because of the guy in The Walking Dead game? Or was it something /sp/ made again?

I think it's an old thing but only recently saw more usage.

No idea who popularized it. Probably /pol/ with MUH HERITAGE.
