While the DV/BD sales of it were really low (Using the "Anime DVD/BD Sales in Japan" site's "TV Series Data – Quick View" page that was last updated on Monday), those streaming numbers are great. It'd be ideal if Studio Trigger earns more money from what they get on Niconico's streaming but I can only speculate as those are private business matters.

It's worth a watch or stream, but not worth the purchase at Japanese prices.

I can see why some Japanese might want to reverse import the Funi releases next year.

It will most likely be condensed (read: conjoined) to make a 25-minutes, 13-episode run, a la Psycho-Pass and its re-airing.

It's worth noting that the first episode had huge streaming numbers but a staggering 47-50% of those streamers gave it the lowest score possible.

In the dub of episode 21 (around 11:00), Ninja Slayer says lyrics from that famous Rick Astley song.

I'm waiting for ANN to finally give this the full review they said they would when they stopped reviewing it after episode 12. I stopped watching around episode 8 I think. It's not that I didn't like it, it's just that the show's quality was so inconsistent between each episode that ultimately I just decided to put it on hold and wait to see if it ever truly came into its own. Hopefully it did! Because right now, One Punch Man seems to be doing everything Ninja Slayer was trying to do, only with a lot more success so far.
