Dungeon Meshi Blu-ray Box / DVD vol.1 sold 2,766 copies in its first week.

You need to pump those numbers up! Those are rookie numbers!

Ofc the borderline hentai bs sells more.

@deg Those you list are all "big hits".
Mushoku Tensei S2 Vol.1 sold 2,866. Even AOT final season Vol.1 sold only 3,108 in it's first week. And these are both very popular shows. We have many other shows that have decent popularity/quality and sold below 2k (CSM, Mob Psycho S2,S3, etc).
It's getting much harder to hit the "threshold" to blow up and sell big numbers today (unless it's an idol anime).
Given this context, DM did pretty good.

@TouhouMetal volume one sales is just the biggest profit in most cases since later disc volumes sold less historically

@deg It's not exactly a good metric now since we are moving to streaming services and practically very few people still use BDs/DVDs.

@TouhouMetal thats why im asking for streaming numbers too because disc sales is only data we got

@deg I mean if you want to compare with other shows, it's not quite fair to only list the big ones. If you are concerned if they have enough profit, many shows with same/lower sales got continuation so I'm not worried.

@TouhouMetal im sure it will have a complete anime adaptation too but i just want it to be profitable too

anyway at least the manga is selling well https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2152827

Take a guess. And we wonder how these types of anime or the garbage recycled copy-paste isekais/reincarnation anime be getting multiple sequels while all the actual good anime barely get one season of 12-24eps.

Blu-Ray means nothing nowadays, not when Kadokawa is advertising the shit out of Meshi, the manga has sold 5 million copies since the anime started, and streaming, e.t.c exists. That’s like saying Chainsaw Man and Solo Levelling were flops because of their Blu-Ray sales.

Chainsaw Man and Solo Leveling were flops though, hell, even in streaming numbers, Solo Leveling was constantly at the bottom in NicoNico rankings.

@GTRaijin People who spend money and support the thing they like, who else? Unlike the fans of your so called good animes who watch from pirated sources lol.

concerning to see what is going on in the anime industry rn
