one episode for 4,200 yen? that's not really enticing if they're looking for sufficient sales.

No, Denpa has Meme-san. Meme-san is enough reason for a second season, who cares about Erio.

Hidan no Aria does not have Meme-san, it has Riko, but she just isn't Meme-san.

Excellent points, but I still think Denpa is a waste of an interesting studio.

One ep for 53 US dollars, they lost it.

I will be picking up Denpa Onna once three volumes are available then pick up the other 3 in December. Second Season is something I want from this anime.

i prefer denpa anyways, it was a far more interesting anime. although it seems to be slightly misleading, but interesting none the less.

what i find to be sad is that sales are everything now. understandably, but some really good anime may never get second seasons simply because of bad sales. and in the coming years you will probably see less and less sales. especially now with the recession i am not sure that even the more hardcore anime lovers have that much cash going around.

ref. the Blu-ray + DVD sales of the first volume
Hidan no Aria: 6,356 copies (one episode, 4,200 yen)
Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko: 6,628 copies (two episodes, 7,350 yen)


So... to buy one episode of Hidan no Aria was $52 and to buy two episodes of Denpa Onna is $90.

Aria is being too expensive with each episode.

Hidan no Aria was a mediocre anime at best, but I'm definitely not surprised there are not enough sales for Aria to make a second season.

I can actually agree with you and I think the only reason why it was sold very quickly was, I guess the ecchi factor in it.

One word: Overrated.

Lol, fail. Why am I not surprised? Hidan no Aria sucked so bad a certain fansub group gave it troll subs for half the season (which was hilariously justified). I never watched that Denpa Onna one, though, but from what I have seen on this forum it didn't do too well either.

Eh, it was expected. Hidan no Aria was bad, no way to doubt it. I’m actually relieved they didn’t get as much profit to be able to make a second season.

… And regarding Denpa Onna, if a second season is possible, bring it on SHAFT. I’ll gladly watch it. It’s much better than Aria, IMHO.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

Hidan is a very bad adaptation of the LN... and for Denpa, it's sometimes good(first episodes), sometimes too boring because Shaft wants to do too much and fails...

I am laughing, for several reasons.

One, I find the idea of selling a single episode on DVD/Blu-Ray for that price to be absolutely ridiculous. Two, Hidan no Aria is terrible. I am finishing it to the end despite its suckage, but only because I'm a completionist and hate dropping titles. Three, while I am not sure Denpa Onna needs a second season, I'm amused that it's getting consideration for it over Hidan no Aria. Wasn't HnA one of the highest anticipated series for this season? Hah.

It tells you one thing Rie tsundere=bad sales

Lets see

Dragon Crisis (Flopped in Sales selling only 580 in it's first volume)
Astarotte no Omocha (Did terribly in sales and this was the better series)
Hidan no Aria (Didn't make enough for S2, so close though)

Idolm@ster will be the exception, since the fanbase is insane in Japan, I'm planning on getting it myself and it hasn't even been out yet.

Highschool of the Dead is great and it sold decently. Shows like Tiger and Bunny and Steins;gate are selling very well. Neither of the shows have super large fanbases and weren't build to be runaway hits (Madoka).

Denpa onna would do better if they hadn't blurred Erio's panties in episode one. They should have paid more attention to the detail.

That censor was pure ass, also there is no other fanservice in this anime so it was unnecessary.

No, Aria is completely, perfectly in line with Japanese anime BD/DVD market standard practices.

You should all put a little effort into understanding what is normal for a market before making claims like I'm seeing here. Certainly Japanese anime home video is "expensive" in a general, overall sense (I should know, I buy them) but there is actually nothing unusual at all about what Aria charged for a one-episode volume one.


HnA's 1 ep per volume BD deal makes me not want to buy it at all, all that was saying I want Denpa Onna over this and I should stick with it, oh and Dog Days has 3 eps in it's volumes except the 5th way better than HnA.

Hidan no Aria wasn't disappointing, it was above average and just not worth buying, the release system makes it worse.

Denpa Onna派 myself (meaning I like Denpa Onna more than Aria).

Even though I don't follow Aria, I sometimes saw Aria before waiting for Denpa Onna (right after AnoHana), and I don't like how it looks like from what I saw.

Pretty much the only reason I even watched Aria since the raw always came out first with Softenni coming out last and Denpa 2nd, A channel came a few minutes after Denpa. It was not meant to be even in my PTW at all.

Aria was the biggest disappointment of the Spring season by far. I'm glad the sales are poor for this show, maybe JC Staff will stop butchering light novels and try something new and possibly succeed at it.

JC Staff learning a lesson? HA! That will be the day. BTW, those are actually decent sales, so I'm better there WILL be a second season of both.

Again, I don't understand where this is coming from. It didn't sell well at all. It did good enough to be profitable (of course), but certainly wasn't a hit in terms of sale numbers.

Hmmm, it is profitable, but I am saying that Hidan no Aria was a mediocre series at best. If I did say that was one of the factors, then my bad.

I want more Aria Iam reading hte novel and it gets really good the show was quite interesting and i think when it starts focusing on reki later down the road it will get more fans that would prob be 4 seasons later at the rate its going if they did make another but still I would really enjoy seeing another season of it as for denpa it has a great charachter design but the story is a little iffy on a side note there were denpa onna references in the novel for hidan no aria

I dropped it after a few minutes, but - oh well, that's how I react to every anime in which I hear Kugimiya as a tsundere loli. Quite glad to hear that sales proved to be low, it only means that JC Staff should rethink their policy of slaughtering good light novels/mangas.
