Still unclear if Printemps can reach the 97,780 Oricon sales after 28 weeks of charting, but Eien Friends does have a limited edition SR bundled on it.

| The producer behind ’Love, Live’ must have a pretty fat wallet by this point. That franchise keeps on being a top seller no matter what they release. And AKG, well it’s no surprise that they went with an anime original ending. There’s no way they get a second season with those sales figures. |

| akame ga kill is selling so bad. It has been proven times and times again that Japanese buyers aren't really interested in things with high death rate and serious fighting, especially without excessive moe or prevailing factors that appeal to them. At least the manga sale for the next volume should increase quite a bit. |

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| Sad see to see a shit like Free is selling that high. trabeus1 said: akame ga kill deserves better than a 1.5k..... It deserve way better than that. I can't believe that Rail Wars! selling almost as much as AgK |

It has been proven times and times again that Japanese buyers aren't really interested in things with high death rate and serious fighting, especially without excessive moe or prevailing factors that appeal to them. At least the manga sale for the next volume should increase quite a bit. It is clear that Akame ga Kill has a fanbase. It is ridiculous to claim that the Japanese do not like things with high death rate and serious fighting, when at least 50k people have bought Vol.10 of the manga. Manga sales: 36 -- *,*24,580 *,*38,975 *2 - アカメが斬る! 6 38 -- *,*24,181 *,*24,181 *1 3 アカメが斬る! 7 42 38 *,*20,994 *,*45,175 *2 - アカメが斬る! 7 20 -- *,*37,833 *,*37,833 **1 7 アカメが斬る！ 8 22 -- *,*37,121 *,*37,121 **1 5 アカメが斬る！ 9 49 -- *,*19,328 *,*19,328 **1 2 アカメが斬る！ 10 30 49 *,*32,886 *,*52,214 **2 - アカメが斬る！ 10 The anime was aired in the midnight time slot on a Monday, which implies it is aimed at the older anime audience. The manga is serialised in a shounen magazine, so what do you expect? This could mean the majority of the fans are teenage males. Teenagers would not be up at 12am watching it, when they should be studying/sleeping! The school culture in Japan is different, they value their education. We haven't seen any boost to the source material (which is the goal of an anime adaptation), but I know Vol.11 is coming out in December, so let's see if it did at least achieve this goal. What we do know right now is that the anime failed to bring in a sizeable number of fans. So where are the buyers of the anime going to come from? What I see here, is that only hardcore fans of Akame ga Kill! who can afford the anime, bought the anime. Anime is very expensive in Japan, so the anime clearly had flaws in it, which is why it ended up selling so poorly. |

If you look at the selling statistics of BD sales many anime that failed to have high sales had constant "death rates, serious fighting, tragic story, minimum moe" Also Akame ga Kill is published by a magazine(Gangan Joker) owned by Square Enix(major company) and Gangan Joker is a very well known magazine publisher in Japan. They are and has published mangas such as "Gugure! Kokkuri-san, Inu x Boku SS, One Week Friends, Dusk Maiden of Amnesia, and many more" |

I guess the japanese realized just how poorly written the AgK anime is. especially in the character departement. well not like the story is worth anything either...just a tournament esque battle shonen with overly dramatic death scenes. |

Yeah TRC skipped important story arcs, completely changed and generic-ized characterization of ALL the characters, toned down the violence in every single arc and basically decided to turn what is quite dark shonen action show into a fluffy shoujo rehash of CCS. AKG does the similar thing. Changed character designs(for the worse), cut out character development and growth moments(gotta add anime original fanservice after all), cut out story information(like the fact that timeskips happened, etc) and past EP10 or so they outright combined two separate story arcs into one and skipped shitload of content, shitting on every single character in show. Manga is no masterpiece by all means but it was hell of a way better than that. |

And how dare they toned it down by omitting little girls who were raped by dogs and pregnant women who were eaten. Completely ruined characterization, duh. |
| No point arguing whether AgK is good anime because all these are subjective. What makes a good anime are different from each individual unless you are one of those self proclaim elitist and think everyone need to have same taste as you. SAO and Gundam Seed are selling like hot cake and better than most anime but most people in MAL wouldn't call both of those anime masterpiece. Shinsekai Yori anime sales is crap but people still consider it a great anime here in MAL. From sales perspective, things like publicity does help your sales which AgK didn't get much,thus lack of viewership and sales. |

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
