Wow. Inu Boku went from 15k to 7k. 8k difference. still, there's only one volume left and that's probably be close to 7k as well. Not a bad end.And 7k is good sales. Not to mention, the manga sales went up a lot.

I read an article on ANN how Square Enix benefited a lot from Inu Boku for manga sales. I'm glad. Still, I hope there's one more season! It might give a final boost for the manga!

KuroBad did better than I thought it would. 15k! not to mention it was out of stock on amazon on the day of release. So I presume it'll once again have a strong second and third week.

UtaPri still doing well, very good. Nyaruko-san dropped a bit huh? Persona and Nise going strong as well.

EDIT: So....just went to amazon and saw this for KuroBas' volume 2:

"Usually ships within 1 to 2 months."

Say what? :O WHY? You mean we won't see how well it does for another 2 months? T^T

It's rare that it takes the full time. It could be back by next week. Though there are times it has taken as long as it says, such as when Mouretsu was understocked.

I expected this honestly. I think all it means is that Vol. 2 wasn't as supply constrained as Vol. 1. Vol. 1 started at 12k and increased to 20k, and only selling 60% in your first week is a clear sign that supply did not meet demand on release date.

Vol. 2 must have managed to print a few thousand more copies and meet demand better, though clearly still not enough. I'm guessing Vol. 2 will end up close to Vol. 1 in sales, but slightly less. Of course it's possible Vol. 1 is still somewhat supply constrained and both could go higher.


It's perfectly normal, First volume is always the highest seller, it's normal for the sales to decrease in the following volumes, take Ao no exorcist for example, first Volume sold around 22k, but it averaged 13k, InuBoku is also another example, went from 14k to 6k, it happens with nearly every anime ;p

Persona 4 The Animation sold well (it has the unaired true ending episode), I also like to see Nyaruko selling better than Guilty Crown.
How many One Piece dvd collections are they doing?
Totoro will never leave the DVD top 18.

The first number is the number of copies sold during the indicated week (in this case, Aug 20 - 26), the second number the number of copies sold in total so far. Most of the disks were new releases so the numbers are the same for both, but if you look at titles like Totoro, you can see that it's sold almost 1500 copies last week but more than one million in total.

Lol, nice to see more utapri up there. (And wow, Orpheus just popped up in my playlist). Anyhow, crossing field! \o/ It's still up there, and it's understandable to why it is. Same with BRIGHT STREAM, and it's not bad to see Hohoemi no Plumage there too. :33

Thursday additions: here
Full weekly list: here

I didn't post for Thursday last week because the only real info was that Mouretsu Pirates got a second week of sales and added 400-some.

This week a lot more is added for Thursday, including a second week for Saki Achiga v3, and fifth weeks (on final volume bumps) from Persona 4 v9 and Nisemonogatari v4.

We also have BD numbers for the latest Chihayafuru, Gundam AGE, Milky Holmes, Lagrange, TeniPri, Sankarea, Sakamichi, and Nazo no Kanojo, plus BDs to add to the DVDs for Tsuritama.

Hey man, i don't mean to bother you or anything, but what's up with Sao's second volume having more sale estimates than the first one? by like, 7k more or something, i noticed the same for Kuroko and a few others, any clues on what's going on?

again, sorry for bothering you bro, just thought you might have an idea of what's happening there lol

Umm no, that doesn't make much sense if you ask me, i think we should wait and see what Jmal has to say about this, i mean, i've never seen an anime before where later volumes sell alot more than early ones, unless they were out of stock or something, which i highly doubt is the case for the ones listed there. come to think of it, i noticed it happen before with other animes, but the next few days the numbers were "fixed", i didn't pay much attention to it back then though, i'm confuzzled.

The estimates are essentially based on current rank + amount of time left until release. Vol. 2 has been ranking very highly since it was solicited, so the formula that calculates estimates is based on the false assumption that the release will have that same rank all the way until release.

As time goes by and the release gradually drops a bit, the estimate will fall, which is normal, and you'll get a more accurate estimate. That's what happened to Vol. 1.

Vol. 1 will sell more than Vol. 2 in reality.


I see, does that apply only to SAO or the rest too?
