I'm quite surprised it even managed to get that numbers despite how awful the adaptation was. Well, I hope this will convince them that TG is a real money-grabber and doing a great re-make of it will assure them great profits.
Wait, am I missing something here? How can it reach that numbers? The DVD sales for it is 1,784, meaning that the BD sales should be 2,000+ yet how come it didn't rank at all?

On a side note, nice to see Gekkan and Barakamon sales up there. Definitely deserve a 2nd season for both of them. :)

Big wk2 for locodol and Hanayamata, the gods have blessed us.




-Gundam G
It'll between this series and F/SN as to which is going to take the top spot, I expect 20k at minimum for both of them, but they could up god knows how high(not too high, 50k+ is a bit over-optimistic.)

-Amagi park
The art box that is included in the amazon version will mean that this series will be overestimated, I just don't know by much. It seems be competing for 3rd place going by what series are up at the moment.

-Cross ange
2-cour, so we'll need to a long while to know what it sales numbers will end up like. I expect it to be competing with Amagi park for 3rd place. For now...

It really is way to early to tell, so I need to remind everybody that this is just based on how the series ranked today, and nothing else. This is barely above placing bets.


-Madan no Ou to Vanadis & Sora no Method
Both of those have semi-decent ranks, but they really need to start going up to get any good sales. Sora no Method is an orginal anime so we'll need to see how the other episodes affect the ranking(just look at what happend to GuP, but that was a rare case).


-Log horizon S2
NKH-E show, who cares about sales? It'll probably end having a standard sequal drop from S1.

Ranked between 500# and 1000#,
-Chaika S2
-7 deadly sins

Really need to start improving, but we already know chaika S2 will sell badly.


Ranked below 1000#
-Gugure! Kokkuri-san(sales split between BD and DVD)
-Denki-gai no Honya-san
-Ookami shoujo
-Ushinawareta Mirai wo Motomete

Very high chance of selling badly.

It should rank in the All Genre BD 100 list on Thursday, but its DVD rank was pretty terrible. It did not even rank in the All-Genre Top 300 DVDs, where it is known rank 295 sold 145 DVDs. It could be close to 145 DVDs or very far from it, who knows.

Did you buy it in Japan or through a proxy in Japan? If not then, no you aren't one of the 915 though in that sense you could say it was at least 916. Oricon only counts domestic Japanese sales, not sales shipped outside of Japan so at least for me, I cannot say any of my sales were counted. Would be nice if they were but alas... they are not.

Amagi Brilliant Park is overhyped, the anime is watchable and isn't terrible unlike other overhyped anime like SAO but not that great at all. Cross Ange is a bit generic, but it will become pretty good very fast, however it may also be overhyped as well. Kokkuri-san needs a lot more preorders. I really want to see the preorder rankings for Girlfriend (Kari) since it aims to please everyone.

Why buy something you'll never watch again? just watch it on TV and be done with it.

No where to be seen apparently, guessing it was as "well" received in Japan as it was over here. I never did manage to finish it but from what I saw it exactly didn't come across like a sure fire big seller.

I'm glad Barakamon's up there though, can't say I know a load about sales etc. but it seems to have done well for the type of show that it is.

The filler arc was well received I guess.

Let us hope that there is sequel for Mahouka and NGNL. The sales don't look bad

I wonder if P.A. Works will start having financial trouble. Uchōten Kazoku and Glasslip have both bombed, and Nagi no Asukara only sold modestly, they haven't had a hit in a long time.

Unless they are funding those shows, they will not have any problems.

Did you buy it in Japan or through a proxy in Japan? If not then, no you aren't one of the 915 though in that sense you could say it was at least 916. Oricon only counts domestic Japanese sales, not sales shipped outside of Japan so at least for me, I cannot say any of my sales were counted. Would be nice if they were but alas... they are not.


lol yeah I bought it at an Aeon last week (in Chiba).
Then as long as the store you bought it from reports to Oricon then yes, you have been counted! Thanks for your support... and very cool to have been in Chiba.

I know they at least funded Glasslip, but it wouldn't matter if they never spent any money on production themselves, because outside sources will be reluctant to use a particular studio if nearly everything produced by them fails.

Its not possible to know whether a show achieved its intended goal/profits, for us. Some studios are still doing fine after getting god knows how many badly selling show(i.e manglobe & Deen)

If you're concerned about financial trouble, I think it does matter if they spent money on production themselves. If you invested more money, you probably make more money in profit off of it (or lose more money if it fails). I don't know how much it matters, but to suggest that it wouldn't matter seems incorrect.

As for "outside sources", you are referring to production committees right? Do you have any evidence that P.A. Works is falling out of favor? I'm not sure any of us really knows for sure how production committees think...

As I mentioned before, I'm not sure any of us really knows for sure how the committees think. At some point it's probably just better to admit that we honestly don't know things for sure. We can speculate, but yeah, unless one of us is on a production committee...
