GeanWolf2000 said: Maid Dragon > hater. If source material content were all that is needed for an anime adaptation, Noragami and many others would have an animated sequel. Not saying DM flopped though, just saying numbers ($) are important. And how can I be a hater if I just said I hope they do more of Dragon Maid? I love every show KyoAni does. Been waiting 4 years for this. You're really fast at giving others bad adjectives. Whatever, if that makes you sleep better at night. |

Disc sales are only the be-all-end-all for very particular series, with the majority of the revenue for shows these days coming from streaming (licensing or a company's own service depending on the series in question), merchandise sales, and popularity of an adaptation's source material (when applicable). All of which Dragon Maid has at its disposal. Its merchandise always sells (stupidly well depending on the variety), the manga's popularity is no slouch and always stable, and like everything else Kyoani has done licensing gives them smooth sailing. Obviously nothing is set in stone since we've seen the industry refuse to do things that'd make them guaranteed easy money time and time again, but usually a popular franchise with a stable source material, reliable merchandise sales, and easy licensing will get adapted appropriately. I didn't wanna sound "know-it-all", but you say some things you don't wanna say when you get called "dishonest" publicly, so sorry. I used Blu-Ray as a metric because the author (or whoever wrote this article) said they needed was 5,000 for a S2, but had an average of 3,600, in which China came to rescue. And looking at the amount of extra content, it's easy to tell KyoAni aims a lot on BD sales. The question is: since it had 3,300 for the BD/DVD (first week only and KyoAni shop not included, it can be higher) is Dragon Maid S2 streaming views enough? https://twitter.com/AnimePraises/status/1418177853678448642 With this "The End" at the end of S2, which wasn't there on S1, I highly doubt they'll do more, besides the OVA coming on the last Blu-Ray volume, but I hope they do at least a movie to close everything. like other comments have told you before, you're ignoring foreign income. also, you yourself stated you don't know the income from streaming. disk sales, once more you were told this, are NO LONGER the 'baseline benchmark' for anime getting continued. here's a perfect example, in TVTokyo's corporate revenue reports for THREE YEARS after Bleach's TV seasons were canceled, it was one of their TOP FIVE earners... the 1st year it was still in the top3, the 2nd year it was 4th, and the 3rd year it dropped to 5th. but for the next four years Bleach was still in TVTokyo's top 10 earning franchises. this INCLUDED their earnings from foreign licences for disks, dubs, and streaming etc. before 2000 the entire Japanese otaku industries' income from foreign sources was below 30% of all their monies coming in... after 2000 this income has climbed slowly to over 40% of the TOTAL industries' sales. these numbers included manga, anime, streaming, foreign dubs, translations, disks, merchandise moved/shipped overseas etc. the 'otaku culture' in Japan is NO LONGER ENTIRELY DEPENDENT on domestic income. |
| just an ol school otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either. |
| Didn't like this season, so I hope not. |

| I mean it's almost guaranteed, this is the second-highest anime in the season. |
 My biggest regret: Reading all 200+ chapters of Kanojo, Okarishimasu |
