Yep, it was becoming clear by the end that Kuroko would easily have the best first week of the season, ignoring Fate/Zero. It was ranking extremely highly in the last month or so given that it was split across DVD and BD and that really sent it soaring.


It had been on track for less than this, so I'm actually pretty surprised to see it pull off more than 9k first week. That's the second best first week sales of the season. Stalker underestimated it, which is uncommon, especially for a show that ranked really highly early on. Now granted we need to see if it keeps it up or if it's just a Vol. 1 fluke.


Actually, it went up.
Vol. 1 BD: 6,718
Vol. 2 BD: 7,050 (+4.94%)

But the DVDs ranking threshold is really high this week, so we don't know the DVD numbers. Vol. 1 DVD did 1,116, and nothing under 1,133 for DVD ranked this week. So even if it did the same or a couple copies more, it still wasn't in the top 30 animation discs because there was too much competition this week. Maybe Thursday will add some DVDs (that would be rare) or maybe we'll get one of those lists that has potential estimates for DVDs ranking over 100 later in the week or next week.

It's holding up a bit better than Nyaruko-san, which it was running neck and neck with on v1, given that Hyouka v2 has sold more than Nyaruko-san v2 even if you take Nyaruko DVD+BD against just Hyouka's BD. Nyaruko had an event ticket in v1, Hyouka had no such bonus.


If they're not on the list, they're below the thresholds. Both were complete bombs in anime form. I doubt either sold much more than 400-700 in either format and possibly less than 1k total.

It's possible we'll see Medaka BDs on Thursday (Shining Hearts, not a chance) but I wouldn't hold my breath. Thresholds will still be really high.

Sakamichi no Apollon will definitely rank on BD on Thursday.

Oh wow, was it really? As in a full OVA of just stills and voice? Now that is disappointing... I had no idea. I had a mild interest in watching it because I love Nunnally, but not now.

DVDs weren't overestimated to a major extent, but BDs sure were. 20k vs 13k reality is quite a big deal.

On the other hand, 20k for a side-story picture drama released years after the main series ended is pretty damn good. Geass is still rather powerful.

Yeah to bad not many fujoshi knows about Tsuritama. They turn to Kuroko no Basket for hot guys.

phoenixalia said:


That and KuroBas has more possibility of yaoi....the shadow and the light, 'you are my light and I am your shadow', overpossessive Kise going 'Kurokocchi~~~' with a rape face in one instance I remember lol, the angst with Aomine and Kuroko with the whole 'Old Light' 'Previous Partners' thing, Akashi X Kuroko being popular due to the whole Akashi yandere aspect, MidorimaXTakao: 'Shin-chan~~~~' Tsundere Kasamatsu and Kise....


need I say more? :/ Its obvious what yaoi fangirls will prefer. Not bashing Tsuritama...I liked that show. :( but it was pretty obvious which show fangirls would prefer.

While I'm not surprised by Kuroko no Basket selling 12k, I am somewhat noticing a trend that fujoshi shows tend to have a very high first volume followed by a rather steep drop afterward. Just look at Inu X Boku for example. Yeah, I know the first volume was discounted but it still sold 15k copies. And now the 4th volume is a little above 8k. Ao no Exorcist also had a big drop if I remember right. Basically, while fujoshi are definitely a huge force for sales at the moment, they don't seem to be consistent. Will be curious to follow Kuroko's numbers and see if it has the more common 15-20% sales declination or if it'll be closer to the 40-50% that other fujoshi series have seen.
