Nidhoeggr said: totoum said: Pandering to otaku doesn't guarantee in any way that something will sell. Given the prices of a box set or a single BD containing only two or three episodes and the fact that there are more than enough series that pander to the exact same crowd it's no wonder the market will concentrate on one or two hit series. Except that it is not EXACTLY THE SAME crowds. Different LNs have different group of avid fans and they do not always overlap. The most bestselling titles in recent seasons are those that are adaptations and one strong source of customers is the fans of the original novels/manga and many of them are not even dedicated anime fans/otaku. Your view is just too simplistic and stereotyped. |

| Kuroko on the list makes me happy. Although the manga is going a tad bit downhill and getting a little too repetitive I guess cause the moves are not animated yet. xD |

Undoubtly, and the info I could find out on Yama no Susume(by looking up info about the manga) it seems that one is going to have a yuri romance 'subplot'. And Vividred Operation has the same Director as strike witches so I would not be surprised if it had yuri undertones(I could always hope..). |
Downgrade355 said: It wasn't estimated to sell 50k anyway, but i believe it will reach 40k. I think what you once said was "I'm almost certain SAO would sell around the 40-50K see'ing as it's growing daily, heck there's a fair chance it might sell even more than that." so 50k was mentioned at least once... http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=489721&show=0#msg17017243 ============== Anyway, the question now is: whether SAO can beat IS in vol.1 total sales? And after that, the question is whether SAO can beat IS in terms of sales average. The latter is tricky because SAO is 2 cours and since the tendency is that the later volumes usually sell fewer than the earlier ones, 2 cour anime series can be at a disadvantage here. |

ViviPan (Vivid pants - the nickname given by fans in Japan to Vividred Operation) will surely look and feel like Strike Witches because the director and the producer already said so in a recent interview. Basically what they say is ViviPan actually predated Strike Witches and is in fact the prototype of Strike Witches before it was abandoned and SW was developed instead. And it will have the same focus as Strike Witches, including the tight pants of course. |

Same goes for Horizon and TE." The key fact is that any sales that goes beyond 15k or so can no longer be explained by mere "otaku pandering" |

I do not follow Kurobas but from what I read, vol.4 features the extremely popular Team Chalia and the extra Drama CD also features Team Chalia, and the cast commentary by Team Chalia has got very good feedback. Perhaps it is a reason why more people just go to pick up this volume even if they did not buy earlier volumes. |

jmal said: Also, people are jumping the gun on Girls und Panzer a little. I adore the show and will import it and hope it sells well, but its rise in the rankings is pretty recent. it's hard to know if it'll stick, or whether it'll end up being a title overestimated by Stalker, etc. But certainly things are looking very positive, and that's really really awesome. It could be the biggest surprise hit of the season. 2ch posters were estimating about 3.5k sales for it, and it could end up a solid 7k title or so at this rate. I know I am jumping the gun but it is hard to conceal the excitement and joy at seeing GuP (GalPan) having such a meteoric rise. After Ep.4 aired more than one day before, all 6 volumes GuP rose even further yesterday and today they again notched even higher. Its vol.1 is now 5th in Amazon Anime BD ranking,and if we look at all BD/DVDs of all genres, the positions of the series are also very impressive: Vol.1 #17 Vol.2 #33 Vol.3 #39 Vol.4 #40 Vol.5 #45 Vol.6 #46 Its vol.1 is now the highest positioned title among this season's anime. Something nobody expected before the season started. I also remember before the season's start the average/median estimate in 2ch of the sales of GnP is just 3.5k I believe it can easily double that if the series keeps its momentum -- I would be jumping with joy if it could even break 10k and make it into the top 4 of the season (but at whose expense?). It is now quite amusing to see what anime 2ch guessed as the top selling titles before the season's start when there were only key visuals, some PVs and staff/seiyuu data. |

jmal said: Girls und Panzer is like this season's Dog Days' for me: pure, unadulterated fun of the absolute highest degree. A show that takes as its mission, every second of every episode, to be as ridiculously enjoyable as humanly possible. Very much agreed, and in one way it is even better than Dog Days: The anime is stuffed full with trivia about tanks and history, so it rewards multiple watching to dig up those things. The mecha sakuga, be it the still drawing of the tanks or the animation when the tanks move or showing the point of view of a person looking out from the tank, is superbly done. I think KyoAni may still be no.1 bestsellers this season, although from a pure accumulated Amazon points angle, ToLoveRu Darkness is the top for now (which is #1 show for me because I am a diehard fan of ToLoveRu). In terms of Amazon BD Points, Chunibyo, JoJo and Little Busters are close to each other and they lag quite a bit behind ToLoveRu. After them there are then GalPan and Hidamari. Add Gintama (whose DVD sells a lot more than BD) into the mix I think we'd have all the major candidates for the top 4 of this fall season. (Perhaps Magi should be added? Though it drops quite a lot as the season progresses) jmal said: Heh, yeah, so much for K dominating the season. It's finally picking up a little bit of steam in the rankings, but has barely cracked the top 100 at all. Actually the rise is better explained by the fact that the BDs of K go on sale pretty soon on Nov 07. The fact that it still does not crack top 100 even it is close to the release date does not bode well for the coming sales figure. Also strangely I find for "K" both vol.1 and vol.2 seem to go on sale on the same day (Nov 07) ?!? It is something I have not seen before.... |

| Holy shit, 35k first week. Happy for Horizon II, it should keep >20k average, vol 2 actually sold better than vol 1 did in first week.. Hyouka 7.6k, a little less than previous vols. Finally dropping? I don't want it to happen, maybe second week will be stronger than usual. Dog Days' significantly worse, 20% drop both on BD and DVD, kinda disappointing for a sequel :( Gratz to KuroBas, amazing. Haiyore drops with every vol but still too slow imo. |

jmal said: And of course there's still the question of if and when Magi will pick up. From what I understand, Nichigo shows tend to be slow to make waves in the Amazon rankings, so we don't know where it'll end up. I did think it would make its mark more clearly by now. Don't expect it to show its true colors until 2-3 weeks before it's released. Go back and look at some patterns for AoEx and Star Driver, even FMA:B is telling in the pattern for nichigo. I'm expecting Magi to do right about what AoEx and FMA did...maybe a little less depending on the next few eps. |

It more than doubled the TV anime's volume average in the first week, that's very good for an anime film. Don't let the K-ONs and Nanohas fool you on what's successful for an anime movie. EDIT: I just noticed something interesting. If SAO ends up having legs on it then it might become the only LN adaptation to surpass or even just equal Haruhi...of course there was IS but its popularity wasn't as wide reaching as SAO's just looking at the increase in volume sales. This could have very interesting implications for the future of the industry. |

jmal said: In terms of anime DVD/BD sales (since you said adaptation)? Well, there's already Bakemonotagari, Nisemonogatari, and Fate/Zero there. Haruhi is 4th for light novel adaptations. If you mean the original light novels, then yeah at least Vol. 1 has a good chance. Not sure about the total series average. But what implications did you have in mind? More light novel adaptations? Maybe, though they already make up about a quarter of anime each year. And pretty much every top seller light novel gets an anime already. Yeah I meant factoring in the orignal LN's sales. F/Z and the Monogatari series don't come close to touching Haruhi volume sales and SAO seems like it's on trajectory to at least challenge that. And not necessarily more LN adaptations since they're all the rage right now already, but I'm thinking more along the lines of the type of LNs that are adapted. Between the breakaway successes of this, the Raildex franchise, Horizon, and IS I'm hoping that producers and committees will start green-lighting more obscure sci-fi light novels that may have never even been considered for adaptations a couple years ago. Imagine an adaptation on the rest of Kawakami's universe... |

| At least Jinrui and Joshiraku are doing somehow fine. Besides that it's a bad week for shows I like. But generally those tend to not do too well ^^. Except KuroBas of course, that looks good as usual. Poor Natsuyuki Rendezvous though. I hope this doesn't keep NoitaminA from airing more Josei. I have a question though, don't the sales for the first volumes still increase? I see the same numbers as last week, but I can't believe that not a single volume was bought in that week? Also do we have total numbers for Jinrui Vol. 2? Taking last week's data only would mean there was a considerably lower number of buyers than for the first one, unlike Joshiraku which basically has sold the same amount of both volumes. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Guilty Crown is up there. -rejoices- YUME IS HAPPY. I'm happy to see that Hyouka, Jinrui, Hakuouki, Kuroko no Basuke and others are doing good. How is Arcana even up there. |
jmal said: Higashi_no_Kaze said: I have a question though, don't the sales for the first volumes still increase? I see the same numbers as last week, but I can't believe that not a single volume was bought in that week? Everything that ranked this week so far is brand new. There were just a huuuuuuuuge number of new titles this week. I was referring to the second post with the total sales for the first volumes of Summer Season. Those numbers didn't change at all (except for the addition of SAO). Also do we have total numbers for Jinrui Vol. 2? Taking last week's data only would mean there was a considerably lower number of buyers than for the first one, unlike Joshiraku which basically has sold the same amount of both volumes. Jintai Vol. 2 actually sold more first week than vol. 1. Vol. 1: 4,118/758 = 4,876 Vol. 2: 4,260/723 = 4,983 Vol. 1 came to 5,700 with the monthly ranking. We should expect Vol. 2 to be about the same. That second part probably explains my misunderstanding of the first one, I didn't know those were monthly sales, I thought those were the total sum of all the volumes sold since they were released (up to the current week) and therefore expected those numbers to still change. But now I'm assuming it only summarizes the sales of the first month, which makes more sense and answers my questions. Thanks :) And GirlPan is really ranked highest at amazon right now? That's interesting. Well, it was the series that suceeded my expectations of it the most this season, guess I'm not the only one? |

| Ah, okay, I somehow thought all the sales were recorded somewhere and would eventually add up even if they didn't show up in any rankings. This makes it a lot clearer. Well, I'm new to even caring about sales so this can be somehow confusing for me ^^. Thanks for always taking your time to explain stuff, I hope it doesn't bother you that I have a question or 2 each week. I tried to do some research myself but horribly failed (Google sent me to the MAL threads, lol). |
