R1seAgainst said: With bleach and Naruto ending (2 big anime franchise) ending, it will just go down significantly. Naruto and Bleach are irrelevant in terms of Japanese Blu-Ray and DVD sales. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| I bet it's just gonna keep dropping. |
| would reverse importing have a noticeable effect on those figures? |
| In a recession, consumer sales for entertainment goods always increase because people seek distraction from reality. That's common knowledge, so the decrease is not suprising. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| for me since bd releases only have some minor correction compared to the dvd's i don't get the point why i need to buy the bd's when i already bought the dvd. and bds cost more.so no. and yeah. i don't have a bd player. |

Detective said: effing deserved with all the feces that is being churned out This. Something that few people will consider, but maybe sales are down because there aren't many recent anime that people think are worth buying. |

| DvD quality is so 1990's ~ Why buy? |
 |
| I wonder how much of that 12% are the Idolmaster G4U volumes that aren't counted. Thats like a total of 90k right there... I wonder if it could get down to just 5% if they counted them. |
 |
| Add bonuses and special drama CDs to DVD versions and I'll consider buying DVD instead of Limited edition BD or nothing at all (cause those limited edition BD are so fuckin' not cheap...) |

| don't worry mobile suit gundam unicor is gonna pup up the sales all by itself |
jmal said: I still would like to know if western animation is included in this total (since it's usually listed under "anime" by Oricon), as that's a big market in Japan and would influence the overall total as well. Oricon counts domestic and foreign anime separately. Anyway, the foreign anime market in Japan is relatively small. Domestic anime Blu-ray + DVD: 32.5 billion yen Foreign anime Blu-ray + DVD: 2.1 billion yen jmal said: I'd be interested to know how other anime-focused distributors fared. Aniplex and Bandai are two of the biggest and they're both up significantly. Do we know about Kadokawa, Pony Canyon, or King Records? Unfortunately, there is no data of other distributors. The top two account for half of the whole anime market. Aniplex: 10.1 billion yen Bandai Visual: 6.5 billion yen |
edwd2 said: LOTS of bad anime recently, spring season didn't have much at all, summer isnt too good either. We need one of those big hits, 2009 and 2010 increase was probably because of K-ON! and FMAB, plus stuff like Gintama in the background, now all of that is over, we're in the dark ages What happened to Sankarea, Hyouka and Fate/Zero's popularity? As well as a few other particular animes that are currently airing this summer like SAO (Sword Art Online)? I was under the impression that Sword Art Online is getting alot of attention lately.. |

jmal said: eyerok said: Something that few people will consider Probably because it's a stupidly simplistic way of looking at things? I' like to give you credit for phrasing it like "shows that people want to buy" instead of "good/bad shows", but the post you;'re openly agreeing with made no such distinction. sometimes the simplest explanation is enough, and those that look for complicated ones are doing too much thinking and not looking at the obvious. The basics of economics is that people normally buy things that 'they think' are worth buying. Maybe the decrease in sales is a case of many releases falling outside that. Besides I used the word "maybe"...wise ass. |

SAO obviously isn't included in the figures as the volumes haven't come out yet. Nor has the second half of Fate/Zero. Hyouka has only had a couple of volumes out so far and is sacrificing sales/volume by increasing the number of volumes above what would usually be done. Sankarea was a complete flop. |

Sankarea was never very popular in Japan, and was one of the worst selling shows of Spring. |

| Stop charging $60 for blu-rays with 2 episodes on them and maybe sales wouldn't drop... |
| I'd buy anime if it was ¥3,570 per volume. Cheers! |
