Not trying to show off at all there, really! Sorry it comes across that way. I was trying to show that I'm not really importing what is popular is all... but I am also trying to show that it is not just Japanese consumers.

Ah well, I should really be reading instead of posting here anyways. Will see if I can control myself... see you around or maybe not... oh who am I kidding? Will try to ease off though. Sorry again.


Nah, sorry, do tell what you import by all means, what I meant is remember not everyone has the same possibilities you have when you directly question people if they import, importing is really out of the possibility of most worldwide fans.

Just wish a few more people wishing their favorite anime had more sales... had contributed to those sales, that's all. My dream is if more of us bought then ... they would make more anime like that. Might be impossible when we are not even 1%, except sadly for Sukitte Ii Na Yo where for all I know we are most of the buys... as I know of another 2-3 importers buying that one.

I agree, but the issue is importing is the most expensive and least friendly option to support anime (games/manga,etc), not mentioning not many know enough japanese since its only a handful of japanese releases that include at least subtitles,

If you speak to non Canada-USA people you will see it goes even more expensive, ask latin american fans, huge anime lovers, and you will see that to import one or two titles (or 1 or 3 vols., series in japan usually go 6-9) at most its the equivalent to one month salary! Even people in first world countries like USA often speak of how expensive it is to import, now imagine the situation of many other fans outside NA or non-first world countries...

My ideal would be that fans worldwide had the means to contribute directly with direct and easy access to purchase media, sadly its an innovation that the industry does not want to take as it would be go digital (as physically it would be almost impossible) and even prices, but we all know the industry does not want to liberate their basically hostage Japanese consumers used to pay high prices.

Imports are not the solution for non-japanese fans to contribute, you are almost pulling an Marie-Antoinette´s, if they cannot afford bread let them have cake...

Also it is the industry that needs to appeal to the fans and make them want to purchase AND with ease not the the fan reach to the industry. I fail to understand how many of you feel like the industry is doing you(us) as favor when its the other way around. So its the industry that needs to make available their stuff to fans to purchase, if they do little to reach to everyone or care only for some countries you can hardly blame those that dont contribute as they need first to be able to do so in the first place, only then they can be blamed. Even the second most "important" maket for anime (the US) gets a tiny selection of anime.


Out of topic so I will stop here.

Common sense. Anyone can tell that the budget for Sakurasou is far higher.
In what way? Many said the awesome animation in Nobuna must mean it uses a very big budget, but it turned out that in number of cuts and more expensive key animation drawings, it uses fewer number than even Saki Achiga-hen. So unless you provide some good evidence why Sakurasou has "far higher" budget than Little Busters, just saying it is common sense just does not cut it, I am afraid. And bear in mind that animation quality difference does not always translate proportionally to budget difference. (then there is the question of whether Little Busters really has "some of the worst" animation among all >30 series running in this season, which is of course debatable)


Anyone that isn't blind in both eyes could see that Sakurasou has a way higher budget than Little Busters! If you're unable to see that I feel sorry for you.

Just by looking @ Both shows I can see that sakurasou as better Background animation quality, better character drawing qualities and doesn't stand around in a frame for over 6 seconds every 10+ each episode for something pointless. Little Busters! has had many screw ups, and if you watched the show you would notice.

And if it doesn't have a higher budget than the animators need to go back to school. http://myanimelist.net/people/10678/Iizuka_Haruko pretty sure she could of done better, judging by some of her past work.

I'm watching over 30 current shows, so I'm pretty confident in saying it has some of the worst animation of any of those shows. (Well, of any that actually try so I'm not counting flash stuff like Osaka Mama)
Well from over 30 current shows I am watching I do not see how Little Busters have really "some of the worst" animation. Perhaps it is not moving as much as, say, Vividred but it is not worse than GJ-bu or Shinsekai Yori for example. And do we see any out-of-character bad animation like in Total Eclipse? No, but then Total Eclipse did not do very badly, did it?

RyanSaotome said:
And you can try to defend it all you want, but the animation quality is probably the biggest issue with Little Busters...
It seems it is only your own speculation. From what I read in Japanese forums, the animation is far from a major issue for fans. Story, adaptation choices, and series composition got far more complaints.

RyanSaotome said:
if it had more budget, it could have truly been something special. Theres more than enough examples of crappy budget like the 2 frames of animation when Rin was playing with cats early on, to quite a few times when characters don't even blink for long periods of time while talking. But just half assing it since they knew it would sell regardless is what happened.
Tyrel said:

Well, my point, again, is Perceived Animation Quality difference does not necessarily translate into Budget difference. You two commit the common mistake of confusing perceived animation density with budget. But as my example of Nobuna vs Saki Achiga-hen shows, better perceived animation quality does not mean more money being spent. The truth is we don't know the inner workings of an anime production enough or details of anime production process to judge how much budget an anime has based purely on how well we perceive the animation quality. You can argue that a certain anime has better perceived animation quality all you like (as it is your perception), but this is no basis for you to jump to conclusion that the budget is thus necessarily bigger for the anime project (and the budget has to go to pay for a lot of things other than animators' bill anyway). As much as I agree the animation in Sakuraso looks fresher and more pleasing, I would not jump to conclusion that it means Sakurao has a bigger budget, much less "a much bigger" budget as you are claiming.

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Smybv, if all you want is for us to give you documentation of how much each company budgeted for their anime, we obviously won't be doing that. Making educated guesses is the best we can do, and my educated guess is that Little Busters was done on a shoestring budget since Warner Brothers thought its name recognition was enough to sell it. Hell, they were upset it wasn't selling more even with the little budget it had, so I think they were just thinking that Key fans were diehards who'd buy anything regardless of how much money they spent on it.

As I said in my post, animation issue is not what fans in Japan worry most. And in this case, your educated guess that "the animation quality is probably the biggest issue with Little Busters" does not ring quite true. And that would mean that Warner Brothers may not have made such a bad decision by adopting the animation with the quality that we are seeing. But on the other hand, they obviously failed in some other aspects to appeal to fans, either fans of the original VN or anime fans who have not played the VN, but I don't see how perceived animation quality as the biggest issue with LB!

And you were complaining "they were upset it wasn't selling more even with the little budget it had", but as I said, who knows how much budget it really had? If you choose to stick with your theory that it must have very low budget purely because of a very low perceived animation quality (which I have to say, is debatable in comparison of other series in this season), then of course you find it hard to understand. But perhaps the budget is not really that low (I am not talking about bottomless budget but a reasonably good amount) and so it is valid for the production to be disappointed? All I suggest is not to stick to misconceived idea and try to take a more comprehensive view.

I wonder if GuP Vol 2 is going to outrun its logistics train have supply issues like the last one. It'll do well in the long run, though. Episode 3 is when the series truly starts to rock.
GirlPan vol.2 does not have any supply issue as far as I see. I guess the sales of vol.1 has given Bandai pretty good idea of how many copies to print and distribute. At the moment, it seems the sales can come very close to what has been achieved by vol.1

Bam. Even though it's quality of animation is crap, I'll be buying it once Sentai Filmworks releases it, along with its second Season. Might as well as buy it to make my collection Complete of Key DVD/BD's

No date has been announced yet. It will be shown in some theaters first before the BD is released, and even for that the schedule is not fixed. The best that we know is simply that the theater release date is sometime this summer.

Daily Sales Ranking from Oricon so far.

Note: if there is a popular title and you do not see it here (e.g. Girls und Panzer v2) it is because the release date is today (though some shops started to sell them yesterday). I will update this list when sales information for this later batch is made available later.

Daily Oricon rankings for the Feb 18~24 week.

Of course, not everything here will end up ranking even on the full list considering how high the DVD/BD thresholds are likely to be. Nothing else new in terms of anime is going to be released on Feb 23 or 24.

GaruPan v2 BD and DVD are now back in stock. Most likely the orders taken after they went out of stock before has been shipped today. That means those units should count for the daily ranking on the 24th, which is good.

Updated for today.

One should bear in mind that the sales for each day do not hold the same weight. The actual sales in the release date (here it is Feb 20 or Feb 22) would definitely be much bigger compared to other days. The day before the release date (Feb 19 and Feb 21) is the second most important day to watch, as many retailers (particularly online ones) ship new titles one day earlier.

Key observations:

- Ookami Kodomo is very strong. And particularly on a weekend day like Feb 23. This is because for a title with mainstream appeal, weekend sales usually jumps.

- Yamato 2199 is another title doing very well in both DVD and BD side. As is T&B movie to a lesser extent. KuroBas is very strong on DVD but still doing not bad on BD front.

- GirlPan v2 is showing up on DVD list. Two days in a row. How many is it going to add to final sales? 1k? Current guesses by fans in Japan put the first week sales of GirlPan from 22k to 25k.

- JoJo v2 seems to be doing just a bit above Hyouka and Psycho-Pass level. Is it going to sell near vol.1 level or it will drop quite a bit?

I originally thought GaruPan v2 could do 1~1.5k but now based on more ranking data, i'd estimate it to be around 1~1.2k 1st week, since it's just above Hyouka and much under Psycho-Pass (typically does ~1.5k on DVD).

For GaruPan v2's 1st week, i've been estimating it to be in the vicinity of 23~25k... but I would love to be underestimating, lol.

I'd expect Jojo v2 on DVD to take a hit because v1 was very very cheap at ¥1927 for 3 eps compared to v2 at ¥2952 for 3 eps.

It has also consistently ranked above Psycho-Pass but below New Prince of Tennis. I'd estimate around 1.5~2.5k 1st week, considering New Prince of Tennis has been steadily dropping in DVD sales as seen below...

Remember when people were trying to argue that Little Busters didn't have the worst budget of the season?

Yeah, your example could not prove anything. And how about Psycho-Pass, does it have the WORST budget? How about Shinsekai Yori? At a late stage of a season it is not uncommon to see sakuga quality drop. Why so certain that LB! has the WORST budget out of all in this season? Besides, Bad animation is not always caused by a low budget -- this is my whole point. Throwing occasional pics of bad art or animation do not prove much for the budget. To say that it necessarily mean a low budget is very much jumping to conclusion.

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.
