you can say P4 (or F/Z) was the most anticipated anime last fall due to the strong fanbase they already had.

It's true that we cannot calculate how much 1 show should sell.
considering large hardcore fanbase its had, it should be able to do better (in v2, 3, ...).

lack of 'eyecandy' animation might turn the gamefans and a lot of people off, that is might one of many reasons why there is so significance drop from v1 to v2




what I'm saying is, there is a rumour that a lot of animators quit during the pre-production of P4
and the result is you can see a lot of people complain about the animation quality
why are they quit again? I can only think there are problems between them (animators) with the Director (Seiji) or the Studio itself (AIC)



yeah P4 is definitely gonna grab at least top 5 position in terms of sell in 2012 (currently on 3 with Nise and F/Z in the 2nd and 3rd position respectively)

...Bwuh? You agree we can't discern this, then immediately say we should be able to discern this.


But I explained in detail that it is not actually a significant drop (it's perfectly normal) and provided multiple examples to illustrate this.


Most likely. Nise will likely destroy everything else, while the first half of Fate will at the least be 40k, even 50k is possible [Edie - did stalker revise their estimate down? Swore it was over 40k, but maybe I was looking at Nise]. Since it's just two boxsets, there's not much opportunity for it to fall (as opposed to individual volume releases). Then Persona is currently comfortably in 3rd, since it'll probably average to about 30k in the end, I guess.

Nothing else slated for 2012 so far really screams "massive 30k+ hit" to me quite yet, but there can always be surprises.

this is some BS that you randomly spat out

P4 selling better than Sengoku Basara adaptation that its game sell much better than P4 game.

And have you ever heard Tales of Abyss anime adaptation sales?
Its barely selling.. and the anime produced by Sunrise and have larger fanbase than Persona. So that argument about adaptation source popularity determine the anime adaptation success just trash down to toilet. The fan must like it too if they buying, they would not buy random ass adaptation such like Majikoi anime, but I'm sure Majikoi anime can sell a lot better if got treatment that Clannad or Steins; gate get.

Still mostly crap from places 2-12 of Autumn season.
I wonder how high Fate/Zero can rank when it's released.

im SO sad,this will probaly be the last time in history that FMA will make a list
:(...........ILLL MISSS YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU

' on a better note YAY FOR EVOL!

Watch out for Natsuiro Kiseki. Its got some serious talent behind it (director of FMA, script writer of Cowboy Bebop, series compositioner of Monster, character design of Railgun), yet its a moe show. I don't think it'll be just a normal moe show with that kinda talent though... so I'm thinking that might be one of the big hits of the year.
