phoenixalia said: is acchi kocchi sales enough? I mean, I, don't THINK it was high budget..or is it another case of kill me baby? It's not as bad as Kill Me Baby... but it's rather miserable result. Still I'm importing it - along with Pirates, Nyaruko-san and Girlfriend X (but this will be birthday present for my Lady, so it doesn't count) On the bright side if sales of, mentioned, Pirates are as solid than maybe it gives some chances for second season :) Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou doesn't seem to be doing well. |
| yaattaa!!! Gundam Unicorn rules!!! btw how is the sales of Black Rock Shooter TV? |
| 145k in the first week that's the right way to make money |
jmal said: j0x said: btw how is the sales of Black Rock Shooter TV? Out in two weeks, probably going to be around 5k. i thought it was released already but nice that it will hit 5K |
| Acchi Kochi is great but the animation style looks like something that can be done cheaper than other shows. Maybe it's not so bad after all. It's a shame , I love this show. |

I like Acchi Kocchi, it's fresh comedy. I'm glad to see that Persona 4: The Animation is still selling in the top 10. |
 |
| Damn Acchi Kocchi really flopped; too moe for you, Japan? I hope the sales for the merchandise advertised in the ED can make up for it because I wouldn't mind a second season. And as for Pirates, I would die for a Second Season, epesically one based off of novel material. The anime original content is great, but it's been lacking in hardcore SCIENCE or technical tidbits and oneliners. |
 |
jmal said: Well, how much is anime original? I flipped through the novels and through the first three, the illustrations reflect things that the anime covered. If there's any significant anime-original material it must just be this final arc. As for science, well, all sci-fi takes liberties, but I feel like Mouretsu tries a little harder than most to honor the sci-part of it, so far as a story about space pirates in the future can. I don't know the novels, yet. But about that sci-fi part I think that director has something to do with it. Uchuu no Stellvia was very similar to it in pacing (like telling what was that Great Mission everyone was talking about in ep 5), showing the world and solid characters. That's why I was happy to see him doing something new. Yet it sells well so there is still hope :) |

As for science, well, all sci-fi takes liberties, but I feel like Mouretsu tries a little harder than most to honor the sci-part of it, so far as a story about space pirates in the future can. Well according to novelfags on 4chan, everything from episode 19 and on was and will be anime original content. I remember them citing something about the anime production being delayed a year or something, and at the time of the original airing, only up to the Lesbian arc had been written. And it's not that the science part has been lacking in the original episodes, but it's just that it hasn't been as intense as the beginning episodes. I immediately fell in love with this show when Marika used the term "Lagrange Points" accurately in her dialogue. Episode 11 was boner inducing with the amount of references to general relativity and high-energy astronomy flying around. So based on these, I conclude the author of these novels really knows his/her stuff, and that's what made me originally fall in love with this series. Now seeing huge spaceships hax inertia via "gravity control" seems disappointing in comparison simply due to the lack of validating details that could explain the plausibility of such a power. |

| Sad to see how one of the best shows of this season is doing so poorly. Seriously, Acchi Kocchi is genuinely hilarious, aside from being moe to the max. So why is it doing so poorly? Hopefully it will help boost manga sales and the like, because I hate to see it go down in flames like this. |

AO968 said: So why is it doing so poorly? coz other didn't find it genuinely hilarious and moe to the max? well it doesn't have "vibe" that it will success from the begining though |
| awww yeah, Kill Me Baby still hangin in there |
 |
| Not too surprised to see Unicorn topping in both categories. Very deserving. |

jmal said: AO968 said: So why is it doing so poorly? That's always the million dollar question, right? It's never all that easy to explain why shows that sell, sell, and why shows that don't, don't. it just kinda happens. I have always thought about why people actually buy the DVD/Blu-Ray. Some as you have pointed buy them for the bonus included with them. But I tend to think that most people buys them for the re-watching factor. If that's the case, I can see why Acchi Kocchi didn't sold as well as other shows. I mean, Acchi Kocchi is cute and all, but it isn't that interesting "comedy" to actually re-watch it later. At least this is what I think. I'm still impressed by the numbers of Nisemonogatari and it's not hard to tell why they want to do more stuff related to NisiOisin. Gundam Unicorn numbers are amazing as well, but it is Gundam after all. |

jmal said: AO968 said: So why is it doing so poorly? That's always the million dollar question, right? It's never all that easy to explain why shows that sell, sell, and why shows that don't, don't. it just kinda happens. It most likely just comes down to something intangible, and hard to explain. Down to some kind of hook. I guess for Acchi Kocchi I'd say it's because it's a very understated show. Very slow, quiet (when Mayoi isn't opening her mouth), and unassuming. It's cute for damn sure, but so are a lot of shows that don't sell well. I don't think that it's about it being slow, quiet or unassuming. Just few examples - we got Tamayura (with average around 4.5k), A-Channel (5k average) so shows like this do sell, not the best but well enough. So people want such stuff. And than we have things like this, Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou or just Nichijou that have many good things but they simply bomb in sales. Maybe there is different type of humour or show was aired in the same time as some other good one. Customer decisions the great mystery :3 |
| Pirate is doing well. |
| lol @ Kill Me Baby it deserves those sales maybe it will tell the producers that if they are planning to animate another 4 panel manga please let them be 4~6 minutes per episode. Cause Kill Me Baby got old half way through the first episode if they would have made it shorter it would have been more bearable or at least easy to finish in one sitting. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Sunrise is bathing in money. I don't get how Unicorn does so incredibly well, whereas other Gundam series completely fall flat. |
| Darn it, I really need to check out Blood C! >.< |
jmal said: That's part of it, but I think buying has more to do with 1) otaku collector mentality and 2) franchise or character love, in the specific context of late night anime we're discussing here. You know, I have no idea why I didn't thought about this earlier. I do also buy DVD/Blu-Ray for the Otaku collector factor, even though I don't usually import them from Japan. I too agree that this kind of collector mentality is more Japanese than western, so we basically don't understand that much. I think is exactly as you described it, it is based on how well the series performed in your own top Anime for the season list and the budget you have to expend on Anime DVD/Blu-Ray. Since it's something as subjective as why do you like/love a particular Anime, it would never have a clear explanation other that that's what people like. And as you stated it has to do with tons of unrelated conditions, like the studio, Seiyuu, director, music, animators, characters, nostalgia and a whole bunch more. |

For me it has highest rewatch value of all shows for now - it's episodic, more about the mood than what is actually happening. So it's not a problem to sit after work, choose one random episode and sink into the coach. I wouldn't be able to do it with Pirates, as I know what is happening and, even than, I would like to see what happens next. |
Retro8bit said: Darn it, I really need to check out Blood C! >.< The series sucked, Production I.G and CLAMP should be ashamed for making shit like that, let's hope the movie is a lot better. |
| That's quite a significant gap between Gundam Unicorn and the rest... |
| Video rants & stuff: Top 12 Heart-Wrenching Scenes in Anime | DraconisMarch Video Club |
| Yes Gundam Unicorn in the 1st place both Blu-ray n DVD |
 |
| In most of the list od DVD and blu rays, Totoro y always there. |
| I didn't really expect Acchi Kocchi to do well. Its from a pretty much no name magazine so it didn't have much of a following before the anime, its low budget and doesn't have well known seiyuu outside of Io, but otaku don't buy this stuff for male seiyuu. Its a solid show but not really something that would get people to watch it in the first place. |
 |
| Sucks for Acchi Kocchi. It doens't seem like there'll be a second season. ~.~ |
 |
| I would say that Tsukimi is somehow similar to Chinatsu... well I mean to the "nice Chinatsu" but still in both cases it's a great work Ootsubo Yuka is also in Haiyore! Nyaruko-san... but hopefully more roles will come to her (still my fav from YRYR is Minami Tsuda, also not so many roles but I like her voice) and speaking of Haiyore! - Rie Kugimiya should now play only boys as Hastur is epic (but than Al was also) |

| Gundam wins over one piece this time, now that's surprising. |
 |
| Well, I would say that Acchi Kocchi is definitely enjoyable to watch and funny, but not something I would buy. And I'm glad Moretsu Pirates seems to be doing well. :) Seems like Blood-C's music is getting some hits. Not going to watch it just for that though. >> |
| well.. nothing interesting this week.. |
  |
| How are the pre-orders doing for this season? I am particularly interested in Sankarea's performance because I feel like that is one show in which the effort put in by the director, staff, and even author is quite apparent. Everything from the art palette to the anime-original content was well done, and this is coming from someone who read the manga and is really picky about his adaptations. If there is one show that I feel deserves to sell well, it is Sankarea. Also delicious Wanko is full of carnal sin deliciousness. Yahagi Sayuri's voice here is absolute ear sex. She needs to have more roles. |
| |
| >*1, 3,192 Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? of the Dead I guess that means no third season? I think that's around the amount the first season sold, so maybe I'm wrong. |

She needs to have more roles. I'm no jmal but I can say that Sankarea doesn't look too well, according to the Amazon stalker website: (everyone interested in sales and knows decent japanese should bookmark this) http://www27392u.sakura.ne.jp/index2.cgi?sort=rankup It's projected to sell around ~2,000 copies so not good for a second season unless manga sales increase dramatically (such as Chihayafuru getting a second season, also sells roughly 2000 copies but manga sales got a huge spike post-anime airing) Other stuff (can anyone tell me what happened to the Mania.com forums, was their a virus or is google being paranoid?) Nyaruko-san - About 9,000-10,000 BD sales so it's definitely going to sell well and great chance for another season Hyouka - Also around 9,000 - Which is weird given Kadokawa's RIDICULOUS pricing (11 volumes = 7,980 or almost $90 for 2 episodes!) Jormungand - 3,000-ish sales so decent but not really important given it's a split two cour series and it'll animate the whole manga. AKB0048 - Hahaha disappointment, only ~4,500 copies projected and this is AKB48 we're talking about - I was expecting at least 20,000... Kuroko no Basuke - Nice, nice numbers! DVDs projected to sell around 5,000 and Blu-rays roughly the same soo...10k? It'll drop, but YES! Best show deserves it! Sakamichi no Apollon - Better than most noitaminA series but Watanabe/Kanno names don't really matter to the Japanese: projected sales are about ~4,500. Tsuritama - Hard to know because of the Aniplex/Amazon issue (BD-only) but DVDs are projected to sell ~2,000. Eureka Seven: AO - 5,000 copies which is decent but Bones series tend to drop big afterwards. Nazo no Kanojo X - Around 2,500 copies again like Sankarea: If the manga does way better than second season possible. ZETMAN - 1,000 copies and the first volume has an event ticket, so it'll be much lower. **Black Rock Shooter BD-Box - Around 4,500-5,000 decent for it I guess. Kimi to Boku 2 - First season averaged 1,500 so roughly the same.. All these numbers can change dramatically..so...grain of salt. |

| AKB first volume is very very cheap (around 2000yen I believe?) and only sold ~3000 atm yeah smells like failure, hope it will make satelight to use more hand drawn animations instead of lazy CG-crap |
