ANN has a press release from Bandai USA stating that promotional Myspace pages are now online for Code Geass and Lucky Star, two of their biggest upcoming releases. The pages as labeled as belonging to Code Geass’s Lelouch Lampourage, the main character, and Lucky Star’s Minoru Shiraishi.
I’m not exactly a Myspace addict, but I’m thrilled that Bandai USA decided to take this potentially disastrous promotional… leap. ^_^;; I mean, no offense to Bandai, but Myspace isn’t the most secure of systems; any error on the marketing department’s part could lead to the page being hacked and completely ruined ie pr0ned over and killed.
However, Bandai surely knows what they’re doing, and it’s worth whatever minor risks there are. I have a Myspace, and being able to fangirl over Lelouch’s page is completely awesome. It’s fun reading the other fans’ comments too, especially on Minoru’s page. :D The pages are very well designed, and they take advantage of every feature Myspace has to offer, including photo albums. This promotional thing may or may not lead to increased sales or whatever, but it sure as heck makes the fans happy.
Oh, and my little sister is a total Myspace nut; maybe I’ll go hack her account and add Lelouch and Minoru to her friends list, just to see her reaction… ^_____^

If Bandai Visual knew what it was doing, then they wouldn’t charge $39.99 for 1-episode DVDs.
…?
The first volume will have 4 episodes. Of course, limited edition is best. There’s a sale going on for Bandai stuff, too, so you’ll be able to take 40% off that retail price to $38.99
Not too bad, but I need to save money. ^^;; I’ll buy it from Amazon later.
I’m referring to true tears and the other series they released for $39.99.

@Icystorm: Bandai Visual is different from Bandai USA. Bandai USA got Eureka Seven, for example; Visual I believe got Gunbuster series and such. I mentioned the difference in an article here:

Why must Namco Bandai have so many subsidiaries that only serve to confuse me -_- One’s private, one’s a corporation; ugh.
My thoughts exactly. ;)
