I see Tasogare Otome X Amnesia didn't start off good. Didn't even break 3K sales.

Good to see highschool dxd still selling decently.

Also a relief to see Hyouka is already doing better than Nichijou.

I'm scratching my head at why you don't understand people have different tastes.

From all the posts I see, you really have nearly nothing constructive to say if something doesn't suit you.

Highschool DxD, Inu x Boku SS, Guilty Crown.

It feels nice inside seeing them on the list, even if the sales aren't really THAT amazing.

Most of the volumes of this are being purchased as part of the Gravure 4 U blu-ray + minigame bundles. Those are not counted by Oricon because they're solicited as PS3 games instead of BD home video releases. Count those and the series is actually averaging about 25k, which makes it the 24th or 25th best selling show from the year 2000 onwards, i.e. very very very good.
Wow did not know that.

That's extremely good to hear! Now they just need to make/announce a season 2 and/or make a Hibiki spin-off ;D

That Amazon/Aniplex dispute might kill Dog Days' sales, because it will up the price.

At some point, Aniplex has got to give. Amazon isn't going to give into some anime company, they're too big to care about Aniplex.

On what planet is ~8k (closer to 9k with second week sales probably) a slump? Certainly not Earth. It had the highest first week sales of the season, albeit not in the busiest season.

Comparing everything they do to blockbuster 20k+ sellers is utterly ridiculous. Most studios would be glad for 8-9k, and any publisher would kill for the immense boost the anime has given to sales of the original novels.


With Hyoukas budget, I can't imagine they are making massive profit from the disc sales though. Its still a success, but most of it likely comes from the LN sales boosts instead of the actual disc sales.

Wow, thats too bad. Very little chance Sankarea ever gets a sequel now.

As jmal said, 8k is pretty damn good.

Only 95 anime since 2000 have ever sold 10k+. Consider how much anime has released since then.

If selling below 10k is considered a slump or bad in anyway, there wouldn't be as much anime that we see today and we wouldn't see so many season 2's since most anime sell under 10k.

The real money-maker is boost in manga/LN/VN sales thanks to the anime. That and merchandise. From what I've read, K-ON sold 28 billion yen in merchandise. That's $360 million. Far more than what KyoAni got from BD/DVD sales.

So yea, BD/dvd sales aren't indicative of success or failure. Chihayafuru is a good example of this. It barely sold 2.5k yet it's getting a season 2.
