otakuthon49 said: ref. the Blu-ray + DVD sales of the first volume Hidan no Aria: 6,356 copies (one episode, 4,200 yen) Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko: 6,628 copies (two episodes, 7,350 yen) So... to buy one episode of Hidan no Aria was $52 and to buy two episodes of Denpa Onna is $90. Aria is being too expensive with each episode. Hidan no Aria was a mediocre anime at best, but I'm definitely not surprised there are not enough sales for Aria to make a second season. EDIT: ItsSoPringles said: outlawauron said: not true, highschool of the dead is god awful and it sold like hotcakesAnime that are just good products are starting to sell more and more. Putting out mediocre shows will almost always give you the same in return. I can actually agree with you and I think the only reason why it was sold very quickly was, I guess the ecchi factor in it. One word: Overrated. Again, I don't understand where this is coming from. It didn't sell well at all. It did good enough to be profitable (of course), but certainly wasn't a hit in terms of sale numbers. |
| Maybe JCStaff will learn a lesson from this. I can dream, right? |
 |
| good news ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ because hidan was crap |

If I did say that was one of the factors, then my bad. |
     |
| Seriously though, why do they expect higher episodes when you pay $45 for 20 minutes of a show?? |
| Nooo ;A; I want a 2nd season T_____________T |
My Signature :3 |
| oh great,why not give every shiti anime sequel |
 |
| welll duh... the show sucked... it only decent eps where the very first one... |

| Oh noez! We won't find out the end of the story? I wonder why sales were so poor.. Oh that's right, coz shit sux |
| That's fine. It doesn't need a second season anyway |
 |
| I dropped it after a few minutes, but - oh well, that's how I react to every anime in which I hear Kugimiya as a tsundere loli. Quite glad to hear that sales proved to be low, it only means that JC Staff should rethink their policy of slaughtering good light novels/mangas. |
     |
| Who cares. Both series were only meh :/ |
| thank god. jc staff needs to learn that putting out fucking terrible anime is not a good idea. |

| It seems like J.C Staff has recently been producing more and more bad to mediocre (at best) anime. I haven't seen any quality in them since the first season of Index or Shakugan no Shana. |
| HAHAHAHA, YES. This pleases me. Aria should never get a second season. The show was absolutely terrible. |
 |
| That's a noob move. |
STM said: HAHAHAHA, YES. This pleases me. Aria should never get a second season. The show was absolutely terrible. Exactly, No doubt this show was a complete disappointment. I would watch Denpa Onna rather than Aria. I mean Denpa Onna was disappointing too, but Aria is just annoying as hell. I rather enjoyed the antics of Denpa Onna. |

| It really is a shame J.C Staff are slipping with all these recent animes hidan no aria really is better as a light novel. Hidan no aria was simply average better maybe if you dont compare it to the novel like me But do not forget they gave us great adaptations of To aru majutsu no index, Shana, Toradora and they fixed Hayate no gotoku after that some what iffy first season from another studio and gave us a great 2nd season. Btw Denpa Onna was a great anime funny with great characters, art and dialogue, and a 2nd season of it will be welcomed |

This !!! seriously , denpa onna has one of the best character design but that's it !!!!!! just showing off how cute is ario or whatever !! on the other hand aria is more enjoyable & actually has a story !!!!!!! wish for a sequel for aria :3 No, Denpa has Meme-san. Meme-san is enough reason for a second season, who cares about Erio. Hidan no Aria does not have Meme-san, it has Riko, but she just isn't Meme-san. don't care 'bout both of 'em ! |

| this news pleases me aria is kinda lammeee even tho rie~chan is so cute i dont like such mainstream over used situations also the sherlock holmes,jean de arc,and so on im just not buying into it they should do SnS 3 now that will get me hard as instead of when i see aria i get soft |

jmal said: I never got past episode one of Aria however, so I'm not overly invested in it either negatively or positively. Unfortunate for the fans of it though. You are not really missing much though. The original novels however, are very good and that was the reason why this series was so anticipated in Japan but the anime was so badly adapted that it's no surprising that it's selling so poorly. jmal said: Denpa on the other and is an utterly amazing show (definitely watching the last two episodes tonight), and I will be extremely happy if it gets a second season. Shaft loves doing sequels anyway, so with better than expected sales (rankings indicated it would be more like 4-5k) it seems to have quite good chances. Certainly I'm doing my part, and already have the first BD in hand with more preordered. Yep, Denpa is amazing. Definitively one of the best shows of the season. I really hope that it gets another season. Mogami-kun said: And Denpa turned out to be mediocre after a good start. I completely and utterly disagree. But since you didn't even bother in giving reasons as to why you think that way, then I feel free to disregard your opinion, until you give a proper and logical explanation as to why you feel that way, at least. |

I wouldn't say that. The thing that made Hidan no Aria so bad was the story. Considering what I have seen this story is impossible to take seriously. It is that insanely stupid. It broke my sense of belief and that's saying something. Hell I am willing to accept anything as long as it sounds remotely feasible. Unless the novel is a completely different story altogether this writer is terrible. |

AidanAK47 said: Light novels have different ways of showing you the story. Stories like this ussually have detailed descriptions that help extraodinary events make more sense. The adaptation merely threw random superhuman characters at you and expected you to connect the dots.NeoFireHawk said: jmal said: I never got past episode one of Aria however, so I'm not overly invested in it either negatively or positively.

They have Shana and Index/Railgun still on their rotation. That said, they merely said they expected more out of it, it's possible they can go back to it should it keep a steady amount of sales. |

| Look at me I don't like aria lolol I'm an attention whore, I have to rant about how I dislike it. Sigh. Second season of Denpa sounds nice. Although I'd be happy with Anything made by shaft. I'm not all that sad about Aria, I'll watch it if we do get a second one, if we don't, well, I'll watch something else. |
 |
| Shaft does whatever the fuck they want anyways, so it's not really up to sales. |
| if they come with a second season for Hidan no Aria, Good for them. If you watch it good for you. If you don't I really don't care. if they come with a second season for Denpa. Good for them. If you watch it, good for you, if you don't like I said I honestly don't care. that's all I can say xD (and I guess thats what some people want to say too..) as for me, I might not watch Hidan no Aria second season, unless they add more Riko then Aria.. :I as for Denpa, I WANT LESS SPARKLING!!!! //flip desk and More Meme please~ is it too much to ask? :/ |
 |
| And if anyone is looking for their Denpa fix while they hope for a second season, just look into Boku wa Tomodachi. It's got Buriki art, but we'll see whether they transfer the art to anime well. |
| Rubbish shows shouldn't sell BDs and DVDs. Serves them right. Great to know Denpa Onna might be getting an S2. The humor is sublime. And all the references of some of my favourite anime movies made me love the show even more! |

| I would like to see another HnA season since I'm probably one of the few who enjoyed it. But I'll like another Denpa Onna season as well. |
 |
| Well, I rly think Hidan no Aria should have a season 2, the Light Novels have still got so much to give. For example, we haven't seen Sherlock in the anime; we havent seen any other E.U. conflict, we haven´t seen Kana... Could go on and on, this show still has a lot to give! I don't understand what's this hatred all about! Hidan no Aria is probably the second best anime in this season, only beaten by Gosick IMO. (im not saying Denpa Onno was bad, since many consider it the best) Now the big problem around here is this one. HnA is targeted to the Shonnen audience, Denpa Onno and Gosick may also be so, but they seem a bit more mature. So HnA audience tends to be more composed by teenagers than the other two. The problem? Most teenagers don't buy anime! Almost all the buyers are collectors and people over than 16 y/o not to mention the collectors are many of them over than 16 y/o. So, while Denpa Onno has an unique art on it and Gosick is more mature, HnA is just a good Shonnen anime (just, hum? i rly said that?). So HnA might even be better but most collectors just think that the "best shonnen of the season" is a common pick and end up skiping it. Thats a teory, btw, I didnt mention Ao no Exorcist since I havent watched it, but I think that, from what I've heard, watching it will scramble my ratings for this season a bit. Conclusion: If u want a second season of HnA like me, buy the damn DVD! (it actually rimmed in my head XD) |
 |
| Havent watched HnA so i cant comment on that but Denpa Onna was kinda interesting with the first couple of episodes but turned into one big pile of well animated trash. In the end both shows are terrible if ppl think that Denpa Onna was good and HnA sucked lol. |
 |
| I've seen both series and they're okay. Even if one of them gets a second season, I don't mind watching it. |
| JC Staff should go back to stuff like Nodame or H&C. Easily their best shows. Next season's Kami-sama no Memo-chou also looks interesting, but I'm wary about it just because it's JC Staff. HnA didn't sell too badly though. These days 6,000 is quite a lot. Not to mention, 13 one-episode Blu-Rays at 4,200 yen is ridiculous even for Japan. |

| WHY GOD????????? D: Hidan no Aria is so cool! >w< I'm sad. >: And... I don't like Denpa Onna at all.... |
