I expected Kill la Kill to get a 10k+ first week, I suppose I was wrong.

Putting that aside, I put up the new v2 drops for Spring 2014. Love Live! had a huge boost, its now estimated at 76k+ on stalker, if this goes on, it has a chance at becoming the best selling volume of the 21st century.

Wixoss is also still doing rather strong, I'd say it has a chance at reaching 10k. Those custom decks sure are powerful extras.

Both versions(amazon and non-amazon) of JoJo are up on amazon now, and as expected, its performing rather good. If this doesn't reach 10k, i'll eat my non-existent hat.

Gochuisa and Haikyuu!! also had some improvements in their rankings, both went up by roughly 15-20%.

This week looks to be moderately busy, The Persona 3 movie will come out and its estimated around 30k, But aside from that movie and Hoozuki v3, we won't have anything reach 10k+ next week. Mikakunin de Shinkoukei v3 will probably get a 5k+ first week, the GJ-BU@ OVA will also come out on BD, and it might reach 5k. As for the other series released this week, aside from Yowamushi Pedal v6, they will probably all sell less than 4k.

Logged in to tell you that I seriously approve of your decision to now post your estimates in text form again, instead of a link to your site only. Cool move, red.
Speaking of which; wasn't Madoka's first volume the best selling one? Hard to believe that the idols can beat that.

Bakemonogatari vol 4 has the record for bestselling TV anime volume of the century so far with 83967 to Madoka vol 1's 80089

SnK is a close 2nd, I believe(83.7k).


But depending on how well Love Love keeps ranking, it might just do that. But I wouldn't bet on it. I'm just saying that its possible. But if keeps rankings like it did last week, and stalker is accurate, it'll have a 76.9k first week. Which will be more than enough to push it over 84k(bakamono v4) with it following weeks.

But the chances of that are rather low, but unlike the huge majority of anime, it does have a chance. However small it may be.

Even if Love Live S2 V1 sells >80K it's not that huge of an achievement since V2 onwards will be selling a lot less, so Love Live has zero chances of hitting Bakemonogatari/Madoka numbers for all volumes. Kind of sad for V1 to sell this well anyway since ep 1 is blatantly the weakest episode of the season and I don't understand why otakus aren't snapping up the later volumes instead.

Welp there goes Love Live s2 V1's chances of being the best selling vol ever, apparently they are closing preorders on 14th May as they can't meet demand.

Not into idol shows, thought i did watched and like AKB0048, is there anything special with the first volume to sell that much like event tickets, etc..? Or im missing the biggest thing in anime this year?

rederoin said:

Like has been mentioned already in this thread, it has an even ticket.

RyanSaotome said:


Pretty much everything has an event ticket these days, so is that even worth mentioning anymore?

Is it really that hard to understand why people will buy something you dont like? No that is wrong, WHO are you to even think that what you like should be what others should like to?

What the hell is "DIRTY OLD MEN"??? ahahaha.

iLostReason said:
Great to see Kill la Kill and Noragami selling decently.Hopefully we will get to see second season of latter one in near future =)

IMO it's a really good band.Recently they did OP and ED(/w AUTRIBE) for Yowamushi Pedal.

Are rankings more important or actual sales? Noragami's 2.7k isn't really that great..... but it ranked in top 10.....

They can just open it again if they have resources ready again. It might surpass Nise or SEED average if they can keep the v1 preorders open.

All this talk about Love Live being a real Bakemonogatari Killer have got me excited. Yay, an anime I like can potentially be the best-selling (or at least top 5?) series of the 21st century!

They would be incredibly stupid to actually not have enough stock to meet 70k orders, considering the OVA sold over 54k and the CD sales after the anime were consistently hanging around 25k. Sky's the limit!
