EXPLAIN THIS

...

anime is extremely overpriced because obssesive fanbase will pay as much as you ask

pedos are a more lucrative market. Just think of all the extra cash Kevin Spacey has, versus your average Joe Trucker.

why do you think the market is flooded with waifu magical power kids

Because gooks and weebs will pay anything for their favorite series.

Economics of scale you dirty unwashed plebes.

t. weeb/gook

You also have to factor in price of living in Japan compared to salary. People have already grown up to accept a game is aus is over a hundred dollars.

The obsessive fan market will gladly pay that price. Otakus and NEETs are easily exploited.

Some animu publisher should really experiment with normally-priced BDs to see if quantity of sales will offset the lower price. I'm not sure any of them have even tried.

quality stuff costs more

The left probably has importing costs out and rarer where as one on the left is a popular franchise that probably has multiple releases

Left is asking a lot of money from a little bit of people while right is asking a moderate amount from a large base of buyers

Feels like the one on the left is the price they'd give in some place like Australia. But as it is, LotR has a much bigger fanbase/viewership than probably any anime does in the west, so of course they can afford to hock it for cheaper than some niche anime.

That's how much they cost in Japan(and they go up to $70 actually). In fact anime is usually cheaper in the west than in Japan

Still a vastly smaller market show by show than for juggernauts like LotR.

anime fans are tard, especially ones who want loli vampires

quality > quantity

Reminder that TSF Monogatari is the best monogatari

one is for adults one is for kids
stuff for adults always cost more

And LotR is better than weebshit, so what's your point?

In Japan most original DVD/BD runs for anime series are more like $400+ for a season. Instead of trying to sell as many as possible they take the number of obsessed neckbeard fans they know they have and price the DVDs to make the budget back just on those people.

>trying to explain how wannabe-intellectual weebs spend outrageous amounts of money on their pretentious animu
It's easier to just say they're just fucking morons, OP.

>imported vs internal products

i thought truckers made a lot of money?

anime outside of the kiddie stuff is generally extremely niche, so if the companies making anime hope to make a profit, they would likely need to charge at a higher price, which is what they do.

>bakemonogatori
>dialogue supposed be main selling point
>it's completly shit

do weebs actually consider this good dialogue. even capeshit has better dialogue than this horseshit.
