My biggest regret is using my real name as my user name.

The continuous pursuit of finding that genuine thing.

I am pretty sure its not "teens and kids" who generate those bd sales. Add a good 20-30 years to the age you are thinking of :)

of course there are also many people 20-30 years old who generates bd sales...especially in a country which population is decreasing rather then increasing

Finally...Gintama's sales actually improved (most likely thanks to the SA arc airing now).
In the last volume, in the second week it was out, the volume sold 295 DVD copies comparitively to 340 for the second week of this volume. The series has been on a non-stop decline, so it's good news that there was some (albeit minor) increases in sales :)

YAAY, happy to see UTAPRI, that's the final volume. T_T Now, I can't wait to get mine <3

So, can I say that Utapri sold 186,996 from Volume 1 till 5?

With volume 6, utapri sold 207,290+ copies XD

Junjou Romantica volume 3 sold decent atleast XD

Actually sales did not improve. Let us compare Vol.4 and Vol.5...

Vol.4 sold 2669 BDs and 2574 DVDs in week 1 and then 295 DVDs in week 2.
Vol.5 sold 2553 BDs (-116) and 2517 DVDs (-57) in week 1, and then 340 DVDs (+45) in week 2.

A deficit of 128 copies. I suspect Vol.5's 2nd week sales were higher because it started out lower for week 1 compared to Vol.4.

Fab to see Cinderella Girls still selling well. Really should get around to watching UtaPri at some point. Impressive sales again for that series.

*3,980 *3,980 Q Transformers: Saranaru Ninki Mono e no Michi Limited Edition

There was a second season? I completely missed that. Can't find any raws so probably explains that. Is fairly cheap so might get it. Might. Doubtful.

Not sure what sales you're looking at but certainly not these if you think a series selling that much 'bombed'.

The lottery ticket is for a live event.

And it's not just that. In many cases, the BD / DVD comes with a unique CD.

You completely missed the point of comparing week 2 sales for each volume. Basically what i'm saying is that when looking at only week 2, you'll see that there was an increase in sales (i'm not talking about overall sales of the volumes). This is the first time that's happened in ages, because Gintama has been on a downward trend. Now you're probably wondering, why is this significant?

Well it's because the increase coincides with the first episode of the SA arc airing. Bandai Namco Pictures were promoting the hell out of this arc, so if there wasn't an increase in sales after the first episode, then the anime's future wouldn't look very bright. I expect an upward trend in sales now, which hopefully will allow the series to continue.

Then we have the Box Office comparisons...

Key: Rank / Cumulative gross / Initial number of screens (Final number of screens) / Movie Name

Highest Box Office Gross: Late-night/midnight Anime Movies Top 20 (Current as of Dec 8, 2015)
*1 ¥2,800,000,000 121(***) 『ラブライブ! The School Idol Movie』
*2 ¥2,080,000,000 129(***) 劇場版 魔法少女まどか☆マギカ 新編 -叛逆の物語-
*3 ¥1,900,000,000 137(186) 映画 けいおん!

And male to female ratios...
71:29 Madoka
63:37 K-ON!
57:43 Love Live!

So you'd expect the Love Live Movie to do better than Madoka 3 for its Movie BD 1st week sales, considering how much higher it grossed at the Box Office. However, when you think about it... Love Live has a lot more casual fans, who probably won't be buying the Movie BDs. Buying a CD, or buying merchandise is hell of a lot cheaper than buying the Movie BD after all. Just have to wait and see when the weekly results are out on Dec 22nd.

Compare it to their last good work, which was Shirobako iirc, there's a huge difference in terms of numbers. I should've mentioned that before.
