Gah, this episode was once again lacking. Every other group feels insignificant compared to the Kuroh/Shiro duo, and they're not exactly pinnacles of excitement themselves. Hoping next week will be better in terms of...everything.

Interesting bit at the end of ep 7:
Vater unser im Himmelreich = Our Father, Thou in Heaven Alone from Martin Luther German: http://www.musicanet.org/robokopp/Lieder/vateruns.html English: http://www.musicanet.org/robokopp/hymn/ourfathr.html

But..I'm asking too much. Spoiler:
I can see why though people prefer the Blue Group and HOMRA more over Shiro. Honestly, if it weren't for my love for Kuroh, I'd be all Team HOMRA too. Namikawa(?) and Ono must make some serious, serious cash for voicing characters that are in essence, fujioshi bait (Black/White Team in K, Ulquiorra, Sebastian Michaelis, Italia) |

Volume 2: 3,679 It's not a flop but these figures are hardly what the producers would be aiming for, especially for the budget they likely poured into the anime. Not to mention that big drop from Vol.1 to 2 is not a good sign at all. |

To pretty much echo the two posters above, aside for the superb animation quality the show isn't really doing much to appeal to a broader base. Usually when an anime does well among its audience, the demand for the source material goes up dramatically. Those figures for the novel distribution seems to suggest the anime hasn't boosted the sale by much. That's a bad news for the anime-fans if they are hoping to see another season of K. Heck, before your post on the brief history of those various characters, I had no idea what the story was about or where it was going. While the animation production is ridiculously good, the storytelling is very disjointed.

Those number are the DVD sale, not the novel sales. As far as I know, the novels are getting sold out really quick. Side: RED even sold out just by pre-order on Amazon, which I took as an indication that the series as a whole is doing well.
The first disc sold really well because it is cheap. So the sales number for the second disc is what we should be considered normal. Though, looking at the sales pattern so far, I have to agree the audience of the series is limited. From the way it looks, it seems to suggest that Fujoushi are the only audience. Though, it is possible that the series run into the same situation as Kagerou Project. The novel for that series is reaching 500K sales, yet the actual CDs are barely breaking 50K.
