Yowamushi Pedal is killing it right now, can we just get a new season already?

MiMaroKi said:
I think, Shirobako is unpopular series ._. and let see .. wow!

Paulo27 said:


Yowapedal ranks again, passing Yuuki Yuuna as expected.

With G Reco back in the race for 2nd and Shirobako still having a chance if its sales are this consistent Yuuki Yuuna has a tough road ahead for 2nd place this season.

moonnya said:
So how do fix G reco vol 1 now ? Using SS report, or waiting for other corrections ?


You are using first vol rank instead of average rank. Pedal will fall down in its later fall hard, (event ticket goes off + Kurobasket airing in Winter)

Umm.... Sempai, I have a noob question

*3.　*7,591　*7,591 Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei"Kyuukousen-hen" Vol.4 Limited Edition

what does " kyuukousen-hen " means?
I thought all 6 volumes of mahouka were already realeased? Am I getting it wrong?

GreenBenjamin said:
Japan with the bad taste again.

G_Spark233 said:
SAO at nearly 14k? No -_-

Kaioshin_Sama said:
Not too surprised about Bahamut as it doesn't have the moe artstyle really and is just way too western in appeal without any real big name to pull off something like Attack on Titan did. Still did better than I would have expected at the start.

belatkuro said:
Nine Schools Competition Arc. The first 3 volumes released are labeled as "Nyuugaku-hen" or "Enrollment Arc".
This is the 4th volume of the 9SC arc and the 7th volume of the series overall.

phreeak said:
one question: those Mahouka Limited Editions are new releases or is mahouka only avaiable as Limited Edition???

i mean normal edition and this edition.. cant remember if mahouka had a normal edition and im interested if it had 2 editions how many copies mahouka sold each volume combined.


hope for a 2nd season.

Jet_Blackhazel said:


thank you.
But doesnt this mean there are still 3-4 volumes remaining (including the next arc)?
Wow

EasyGo-er said:

A normal 2-cour show gets 9 Vol normally so I guess it would be the same too.
2 eps for 1st Vol and 3 eps for each subsequent volumes and we'll get 26 eps.
So, 2 volumes for Yokohama arc.

I want it to get more adaptations too but seeing how they handled S1 without all the monologues (since Tatsuya is a stoic character on the outside and how information-heavy the show is)... I'm not really sure now. :/

CinnamonHime said:
Sad that Ookami Shoujo sold so very poorly :/

JizzyHitler said:
I was happy to see shirobako so high up, but then felt really sad seeing mahouka, G-reco, and aldnoah all selling as well as it then sword art being above it. Oh well at least one good show sold well is all that matters. And hey bahamut did less terrible than i expected + nozaki still being profitable(again where the fuck is my 2nd season).

Now im curious how terrible parasyte is gonna sell

tsudecimo said:
> *3,047　*3,047　Nanatsu no Taizai Vol.1

Very good. The anime was a big hit all around.

Kaioshin_Sama said:


Honestly though lately I've been thinking after seeing some cold hard numbers and how different ends of the production committee make their money back and nowadays I really wonder all the more why people make such a big deal out of anime sales, especially the ones below the 10K mark. I mean it's just so utterly piecemeal compared to the kinds of numbers you see in LN's, Video Games, Manga, Music etc. If you ask me the BD distribution end of the production committee seems like the worst possible end of the deal and like the one I'd be least interested in having since you more or less have to do the most work for the weakest overall returns while the production committee soaks up the majority of the benefits and where the real money is in merchandising and other media and in most cases where it's an original source the original publisher benefits the most from the boost in profile of the series. If you're talking anime originals where the anime studio and it's overhead (if they have one) effectively owns the brand and gets to dictate how it's used then it's a whole different story, but that's not usually the case with most companies.

For video games, if you license the game to FuRyu and a couple of other companies, it won't sell at all, the only thing that even sold well from FuRyu was The Legend of Legacy which was the hardest game I've played in 18 years.

Kaioshin_Sama said:


I'm talking more the big shot companies like Square Enix and Bandai Namco that seem really good at making at least as much if not more money off the game and toy end of production committee deals as the anime makes in BD sales. SAO is actually one of those very examples. If you think the anime sales are good you should see what the games pull in. That aside cell phone games...from what I hear Square Enix's Mahouka game isn't doing too badly and between the boost that Cinderella Girls is likely to see this season and the fact that the game version of the Blu-Ray package is going to carry the load it's really starting to seem like by far the better end of the deal.
