False. Very false. There has never been any BL genre anime/OVA that was put in BluRay, EVER. It is still rare (if not at all) to see female oriented anime, for God's sake, to have Blu-Ray release.
Is it so hard to accept that fujoshis do have a hand in getting the sales up? Perhaps the half was a bit too much of a hyperbole, but considering a lot of the fujoshi fandom is diehard for T&B, is it so hard that, yes, they do pull out cash for getting a lot of T&B goods, even the Blu-Ray since they get the option to buy it.
Oh and comparing this to any other Sunrise cash cow is weird: T&B was a big anomaly in that it does not have much expectation to sell or noticed beforehand in general Japanese fandom, unlike long-running Gundam series or Code Geass that has... Uhhh... 'Fantastic' (UBER YMMV) CLAMP design at first. T&B is also not exactly mecha-tastic, our two titulary mains suits do not bolster anything from mecha fans like Macross' or Gundam's
Dropping the issue, though, since it is almost impossible to find exactly concrete statistic that RRR want, even though getting the contradicting evidence is a no-no too.
