And Kuroko continues to dominate. Funny that it has relations to the ones out of the rankings. One is a fellow Jump manga and the other is from I.G. too. Both sold measly I see, even less than Zetman. Just lol.
AW didnt break to 10k huh. It might I guess come the full list on Thursday.
And didnt Shirokuma Cafe sold 1k last week? It should be there too.

whoah Kuroko no Basuke....16k? Are you serious? I suppose it would average ~8k-~10k then considering the rankings....

but wow...fujoshi strong.Especially for first volumes.

Now if they just include an 6 part event ticket or something like that for the rest of the kuroko DVD/BDs, they'd get super galactic sales...

whoah 16k....

jmal, how much do you think the second volume will sell?

EDIT: what's the K thing in the Bluray list?

Here's the pre-order ranking of volume 2 and 3 of Kuroko no Basuke.

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/anime/dvd/j_index.html

I guess it will sell higher than the 1st volume. (^O^)

W-What?! Medaka Boobs sold only this much? Was it that bad show, Japan? Oh wait, it's probably because the first season covered the "one of the most boring arcs". Okay.
And Kuroko continues to be at the top. Not a surprise, though. It seems that Spring season doesn't really sell, aside from K-ON! Movie and KuroBasket + Hyouka.

CDJapan isn't really all that major a retailer. Better to use Amazon rankings.

Kuroko was out of stock at Amazon (and therefore probably there places0 a few days during release week I believe, which explains the really large second week. Unless subsequent volumes drop sharply (no sign of that yet) I would not be too surprised if Vol. 2 has a better first week than Vol. 1, but lower sales total. That's not a terribly rare pattern if the first volume has a huge second week like this.


Does amazon do ranking? I never visited that site so I don't know.

Anyway, in all dvd store near my place pre-order of KuroBasu is really high so might be that vol. 2 will sell well than vol. 1.

But of course gonna wait for it to be release first before we know the exact sales. XD

Yeah, it's the biggest online retailer for anime, and probably the biggest anime retailer period. http://www27392u.sakura.ne.jp/index_news.cgi - this site calculates sales estimates based on Amazon rankings. It's the main source we use for guesstimating how things will sell. (You just have to know how to use it.) It's not always completely accurate but provides good ballpark estimates.


Jmal, other than SAO, how well do you think the other summer shows will do?
(reimeiroku is still a mystery to me, its not doing great in amazon but the 6th OVA didn't do well either on amazon but sold 10-11k....)

also again, does anyone know what that 'K is at the top? I thought the anime starts in Ocotber? O.o '

Pre-airing fandisc sorta thing. Character introductions, interviews, booklet, and a CD with two songs by Angela. (I assume that means Angela is doing the OP/ED? Fuck yeah.)


Oh cool....:O is that good sales for a fandisk or...?

Nice, Kuroko.

The sales for Hyouka, Accel World, and the others haven't changed since the last news. Why is that?

Wow, I completely forgot about the K BD. Guess it hasn't done badly for all the mystery still surrounding the anime.

It has yet to be restocked on Amazon too. I've seen them restock like 25 DVDs at some point in the past week, which obviously vanished in no time. Now there's no estimate as to when they'll get more, whereas more BDs are coming in two days, which makes me wonder whether we should expect a solid third week as well. Either way, the series seems to keep surprising me all the way to the end.

LOL, you sound like you work in Amazon. XD

Anyway, thanks. I only checked the ranking online cuz the DVD is like a unicorn in stores here. I went to 3 stores last week and all stores don't have stock. (=_=)

Great to see Persona 4 Animation selling well. At the end of August they will release the last blu-ray set with the 'true end' episode that wasn't on television.
I'm sad for Medaka Box, I think it was a good anime and season 2 is already announced at the end of the first. I don't think they will stop the production.

Yay for Kuroko hope it gets another season. I don't like sports anime, but the characters here are interesting and I like the whole generation of miracles thing. The comedy is placed at the right moments too. Great action on the court it keeps me entertained and its not boring.

Comes out in BD boxsets (and DVD singles but nobody cares about that), starting 9/26. First box is the first cour. Nothing is solicited beyond that quite yet. I still don't know how many episodes this show is supposed to be, but hopefully more than two cour.


I heard it was slated for 48 episodes.

Recently, or just from those initial reports back when it was first announced? I've been hoping the four cour rumor was true but haven't seen it confirmed. TV stations aren't listing past episode 25 yet, but that doesn't mean much. I suppose it could also have a break in the middle, skipping a season or two before coming back for another two cour.


When it was first announced I saw it on a CR thread it said it would have 48 episodes.

It came out last week. DVDs did not rank, and BDs sold 2,037. The full list for last week is available here.

thanks jmal for always doing this every week. Greatly appreciated.

If you mean answering questions, no problem. If you mean posting these threads on MAL, dtshyk gets credit for that.


Oh, I must have over glanced it last week or something. Shame that it sold so low when I thought it was one of the most solid shows I've seen in a while.

And thanks to dtshyk for posting these threads every week, and for also doing the temporal anime sales rankings for each season.

Thursday additions: here
Full weekly list: here

Accel World Vol. 1 is 9,891.
Hyouka Vol. 2 is 9,178. Might pass Vol. 1's 3 week total next week.
Nyaruko Vol. 2 is 7,516.
Saki Achiga-hen Vol. 2 is 5,372.

Vol. 2 for Natsu-iro and AKB0048 and the other Spring shows did not rank a second week.
Great to see Hyouka's V2 didn't drop off. Pretty impressive I must say.
