Like I said before.... the studio marketeers are probably firmly holding the nearest pillar and bashing their heads on it for not being better prepared. It is somehow comforting to know that executives are often the same in any culture - unable to tell compost from gold before it hits them.

Well... they can look at it in several ways.
In the short-term, they will probably want to bang their heads against a pillar for not being able to FULLY exploit the current craze. In the long-term however, they are pretty much sitting on a pot of gold when it comes to the second season. It is pretty much guaranteed that they will milk the market for the second season. Also, now that KyoAni is aware of the popularity of SHaruhi, they can afford to negotiate for more sponsorship for the second season, which means more money, which means better production values. Heck, since KyoAni has pretty much the Midas touch at the moment, this is good news for fans of their other shows, like 'Full Metal Panic!' since they will be able to command a higher budget than usual. Chidori and Tessa in HD? Say yes! The thing is, most non-novel readers never even registered SHaruhi on their minds when it first appeared in the Spring season. It was a phenomenon in a manner of speaking. Whether they will be able to pull it off again for the second season, only time will tell... and it will be some time too, since KyoAni is not in the habit of making more than one show at a time. This is not necessarily a bad thing however, since if you flood the market with too much of the same thing, saturation will occur, and interest will widdle down. Not to mention that the merchandise will end up competing with each other. Cheers.

In terms of figurines it'll take time, of course. But it's not as if the milking hasn't occured with the exclusive DVDs, etc etc etc. It's also not clear that "official" merchandise will have top notch quality that can compare with that of Bubba's.. And I don't think the supply and demand thing really works the way it conventionally does here.. It's more complicated but I'm going to shy away from that. edit: to save my blundering english.. |

Its just too bad that war is so different from SRW.
And to stay on topic: My bro just recieved all the music singles today, 6 cds including the drama cd I think. Too bad I myself don't have much cash, but my bro is different, he is young enough to ask for credit cards from my mum lol

Seriously... I'm a little leery of First-To-Market quality .... and a little leery of AtSai's quality (sometimes great, sometimes meh). Actually what I'd rather have is a small 4 or 6 inch set of the whole SOS gang ... kind of like that Utawarerumono set that is coming out this month.
