OK, Bandai has been in tough shape financially for quite awhile now. It is no secret that the K-ON! franchise is their last gasp and hope for survival. K-ON! has become a huge hit, both in Japan and in the US…and Bandai has “bet the farm” on it. If K-ON! doesn’t sell extremely well, Bandai is most likely toast.
So, do you think that Bandai seriously gouging on the new DVDs for Season 1 will pay off, or do you think it is a bad marketing idea that will alienate K-ON! fans. (For those who do not know, Bandai is charging a small fortune for 4-episode packs and they are stretching out release dates on K-ON!)

Posted on April 24, 2011.
I think you just mean bandai entertainment? Not the wholle bandai company as a whole, as there still making a fair amount on ben 10 toys, and power ranger toys, as well as video games and trading cards. Grranted that part of the company could be gotten rid of if its not performing financially.
