Kuroko's last volume selling 10k+ is a good sign. Can't wait for the Extra Game movie next year or whenever the fuck we'll end up seeing it ;A;.

No, it's #3 for the year so far, but it won't be this close when the Love Live! μ's Live Collection comes out on August 26, and the COMPLETE BEST album (which could possibly sell 140,000+ like the previous Best Live collection I and II). It won't be a complete whitewash though, as Love Live! Sunshine is counted as a separate series from Love Live! instead of being combined like Idolmaster (original + Cinderella Girls + Million Live + etc).

Note: the period covered here is 2015/12/14~2016/06/12.

Nice to see Gundam: The Origin and Owarimonogatari hold strong.

Rabu Raibu and Girlpan having top spot is expected since cute idols girls doing cute things sells a LOT.

Well atleast, Haikyuu is selling well as usual.

They're not part of the production committee hence they get no revenue out of the show's big success. This is a very common model as studios usually aren't a part of the committee. They are more like the executive.

Production comitee contract.

Studio only gets money to produce it. The profits go solely to the committee who invested money.
Studio ends up spending more money on the movie than they got to finish it and fulfill their contractual obligations.

As a result, despite Girlpan being one of best selling anime movies, the studio actually LOST money making it and won't see sales because according to contract they go solely to production committee.


It highlights the cancerous state of anime industry and the extent of power corporations like Aniplex have. Its not limited to sales even, as committee can literally alter the product creatively by demanding various things - the writer of Garo:Divine Flame movie is still salt about

They get paid prior to animating it, without taking any risk. This is fairly common for smaller studios, but not for the bigger studios such as Sunrise (see how they're #1 on the Love Live! production committee).

Also some license holders can outright have it as requirement if studio wants to work on it - "we are going to let you create product within this license as long as you agree to these terms".

How animes are made:
1) The producers decides if they want to adapt a LN or a manga into an anime. Same goes for original animes
2) Negotiation and Contract signing crap between the author of a LN/manga and the producers
3) After all that is done, the producers then funds the studio and the studio creates the anime.

Most -- if not -- all of the money goes towards the producers. Not the studio. The money that the studio gets is from their respective producers.

"Why would the Studio produce the anime in first place"
Because they work under said producer. The production committee is like their big boss. If they don't do what they say then they get no money. If they get no money then their studio will suffer the same fate as Manglobe did.

The μ's Final Live BD-BOX/BD/DVD has been solicited on Amazon, for a September 28th release. As a result, the μ's Live Collection sharply increased in rank on Amazon. The Final Live may even sell higher than the 5th Live's 65,500~66,000, so expect to see some of these in the Yearly list, and also the Love Live! Sunshine anime BDs...
