I love it when people spew outright bullshit and people by it wholesale cause it's someone telling them what they want to hear.

Anyway now it's suddenly Love Live Volume 7 just behind Titan. That series staying power is just mind blowing and it just keeps coming up out of nowhere at the most unexpected times.

There are two possible factors for its jump today: 1) the details of the 2013 live concert were released today - vol.7 has an event ticket for it 2) people are reminded that the preorder deadline is approaching on Aug 12th.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

The spring tv anime series MAL lists as Slice of Life in Spring are:
Muromi-san 4007
Oreimo 20492
Yuyushiki 2813
Aiura - not yet on sale but probably lower than all the three above it
Kuromajo-san - unlisted, stalker had DVD on 628, no blu-ray

If you're talking about Railgun, that got vastly more sales than 3 of the 4 (in fact, probably about double that of all three put together, and slightly less than the fourth one.

And saying that it isn't selling material when it's around 6 times higher than the manabi line is, well, actually rather amusing. 16.7k sales is a LOT. Remember that, of 28 series in Winter, only 1 made it over 10k.

I think he's referring to railgun itself when he says people prefer SOL over dark stories. Railgun is a SOL anime to for the most part, Railgun 2 moves away from that for extended periods and is apparently selling worse (I have no idea about the figures for either).

What's funny about Railgun S is people say both reasons why it is lower, more than just a 2nd season fatigue reason: they say the last 8 episodes of slice of life are the problem or, in the other camp, they say the sisters arc was too dark. Perhaps it is a case of not really satisfying either crowd. There is also the "we've already seen this in Index" factor for the sisters arc. I've enjoyed but haven't bought any of the anime or source material for it. I have bought some music discs... I don't think we have to worry at all about the franchise however. Video and music discs and source materials and other merch sell very well. No problems there.

----

Regarding slice of life Aiura, it is on sale as of 3 days ago. Results next week. I hope it will be good as I would love to see a second season! With 4 tankobons of manga already done there is more than enough material for another 3 48-minute seasons if they wanted to make it. So I am hoping for some decent sales, not sure if it can hit Yama no Susume levels.

I am shocked that we still haven't seen a season 2 announcement for Yamanosusume as there is a lot of source material available and the next arc would be amazing to see animated.

One rank away from being a certified season top seller. I love it~ I can't believe my eyes!!

Looking for a drop to 60th place for neko when the recap episodes come tomorrow.

Bake has attracted lots of fujoshi into buying the DVDs. If it weren't for them, Bake would have just a 55k average.
Face palm... Seriously. You just make stuffs up and happy for that falsified reasoning... Like, almost none of fanbase bakemonogatari has can possibly be fujoushi. If you say so, you don't even know what it means.

Monogatari almost hitting 100,000 gives me some grinning face. Also, waiting for kabukimonogatari up, since that's like one of the best part of the monogatari series except bakemonogatari and kizumonogatari.

Truly, given how he jumped at every chance to gloat about Free "raping" monogatari and assert that Monogatari is going to sink "cold and hard" since last week, I guess a counterpart of bippo would just grab the following new data to say how monogatari "rapes" and "power kills" Free LOL LOL

From Japan anime fans' point of view, Muromi-san will be defined as gag comedy, OreImo a RomCom and Kuromajo-san as kid show. Only Yuyushiki and Aiura will be viewed as primarily slice-of-life shows. Just a note.

This is something i've been wondering for a while.

What are 'good' sales for a 3-min short? I know teekyuu/senyuu both got 2nd seasons while the got rather low sales(for a full length show).
Purely looking at how much 3-min short shows sold in the last 2 years, Yama no Susume did amazing compared to them. So can I assume that 4k or higher is rarely seen for 3min shorts?(

What we know is the cost is much lower than a series of 25-min episodes, perhaps even after you look at it by proportion. So any breakeven line is probably substantially lower too. At the end it may not be that difficult to pass the hurdle for a 2nd season if the boost to the original manga is also taken into account. It is more like a judgement call whether a 2nd season is needed as it will produce less bang for the buck compared to the 1st season in terms of promotion, raising awareness and boosting manga sales.

I was comparing railgun season 1 and 2. I'm just freaking out over the trend in which transition from a more relaxed to a serious tone in story would result in a drop in sales. I think this also happened to gargantia during mid air. That said, I might be jumping to conclusions and the two could just be isolated cases. Here's hoping it is.

When I mentioned bad sales, I was referring to dark stories in general. A few recent examples would be kami inai, zetsuen no tempest and shinsekai yori. These type of anime tend to sell terribly. I just hope there would be a breakthrough from this trend soon. Ah well, railgun s is still selling well and I should be grateful for it.

I would say it is more like 2nd season fatigue. Ep.1 does not look that serious, while the last arc of season 1 was much more serious, but the projected sales was already a bit below season 1 at this early stage. And we know a shift to serious tone does not always lead to drop in sales -- Chu2byo is a good example. The problem with Gargantia has to do more with fans thinking the shift is abrupt and pacing got messed up, and when the story, still very serious, turned into stunning revelations and breathtaking actions in the last few episodes, the sales (as projected by the Amazon rankings of its BD) actually jumped up substantially.

Yeah, short anime like Usavitch and Golden Eggs sell monstrously well. Those are the short anime that rank at the very top tier in terms of disc sales. Though few people outside Japan know about it because they are not aired in the usual midnight anime time slot and the character designs are not the standard anime style either.

Man how strong is SnK??volume 1 is tailing monogtari and volume 3 is steady and both volume 2 formats finally got ahead of lovelive volume7!! Looks like utapri currently has no chance to beat the average with the rankings.

How about that IS long vac box-set almost at the top already? XD

Autumn sales hopes: hoping for Magi2 to break that 10k average this fall. The amount of fans at comiket is drooling with those sinbad doujins...it is always been popular..but it got more attention this time. more attention than last winter....hope they at least buy the blurays constantly this time.

I wouldn't exactly call Railgun dark and gritty, I mean it has it's moments of tension, but also it's moments of levity. In general though it is somewhat concerning when it seems like some months the only thing that'll move product is a show like Free for example. I mean it's great for people that really like that type of show and atmosphere, god knows there are lots of them, but it really makes you wonder how we're even still getting certain genres and what not. Some days I see it as an honest to god miracle that shows like say Yamato 2199 not only exist but are popular and that shows like Zetsuen no Tempest occasionally come out despite almost always bombing on market. I also sometimes wonder how some of my favorite studios like Madhouse still exist when despite almost always delivering shows a lot of people seem to love their Blu-Ray sales are huge bombs.

Anyway that really sucks for Railgun's staff if it's doing that poorly as I really think they're putting in a tremendous effort this season. I don't know how to explain any of this other than this season just kind of sucks and nothing positive is coming of it in terms of stuff I like to see from anime be it the shows themselves or the reception to them. Still I'm not going to worry too much unless Falls triple A looking shows start under performing left and right while only Iyashikei and SoL type stuff does well. If the only thing that moves Blu-Rays from fall is say Kyokai no Kanata I might have some choice words for Japanese buyers to start damn well supporting other creators to similar degrees, but I don't see any reason to believe that's going to happen yet.

symbv said:

I know I'm going to get flack for this, but you're citing a Kyoani example and from everything I seen they practically don't play by the same rules as any other label out there. It's almost like they have a near limitless amount of leeway whereas others would get nailed to the wall by their respective core fanbases for pretty much the same thing. I'm not saying anybody has done anything wrong here, but there's just such a clear difference from where I'm sitting when it comes to having the Kyoani label or not. Unlike others I really don't see this is as a good thing cause it just kind of looks like they have it easy a lot of the time while others have to play within very constrictive rule sets and bend over backwards for the buyer audience just to have a shot at breaking even. It's not the sort of thing that is conducive to good competition or health of the industry.

edit: By the way a thought just occurred to me, the Index movie comes out pretty soon doesn't it and it's charting well on Amazon. Could it be that it is drawing Raildex fans attention and pre order money away from Railgun S a little bit right now since it seems to have spiked a bit in the ranking this week?

You should and you knew you should get flak about this, because we have been discussing it for some time and still now you could not get rid of the thought that even KyoAni could not really sustain any "loyal buying" behavior. As I said, the sooner you are rid yourself of those association of sales performance or popularity measurement (in Japan) with those behavior and comments (presumably irritating to you) from western fandom, the better you are able to give fair comment to the performance of anime shows in Japan.

As I said repeatedly before, what KyoAni could do at most is to raise expectation higher for its coming show but once the show starts they do not really get much leeway in terms of getting people to buy even if they are disappointed. What happened to Chu2byo just proved that people usually make the buying decision for the whole series instead of dropping abruptly in the middle, and it takes some really abrupt and unpopular change in the middle of series (for example the animation took a sharp turn for the worse) for sales to drop abruptly in the middle of the series (instead of the whole series getting less sales).

Overall, I think the sisters arc is a representation of the dark and gritty moments. While otherwise, for the most part it is pretty light-hearted

Seriously, this hits the mark on how I’m feeling right now. I’m plenty grateful for those studios for fulfilling these niches but at the same time I’m worried about whether they’re making ends meet and are stable financially. It almost feels like they’re doing this to throw money away!

Although the second season did not do as well as the first, it’s still a big hit and despite being dissatisfied, I’m still happy about it.

I don't think that's the case since movie blu-rays are more of a one time purchase product as compared to a series where fans purchase several voulmes to complete their collection. Adding a single movie blu-ray to their shopping cart probably won't be too much burden financially when you consider the cost of an entire series.

That's because individual studios not named Sunrise, Ghibili, Khara, or Kyoto Animation don't invest a lot into production; they're hired to animate the show itself, especially the aforementioned Madhouse. Look at the distributors (as well as other members on the production committees like NTV or TBS) rather than the studios and you'll see some do very well with a couple shows that help counter-balance out the misses. We're also not given the entirety of the funds the distributors receive from the stores; Oricon numbers are not the end-all/be-all for finances.

So 29th is "piling it up" whilst 20th is "hanging for dear life".

Are you trying to make every post more cringeworthily stupid than the one before?
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

You've got to love that cliffhanger though, and don't forget the SPOP faces as they wait for levi XD better angles than the manga.

It is a roller coster for monogatari and free all right!! Monogatari had it harder though. It is quiet for the two franchises here so no idea either. They should hold their ranks against the kpop and johnnies but oh well.

Why can't you look at it more positively? Why not say how great the Love Livers have done today moving vol.7 from #11 to #1 ?

I guess the deadline of preordering does have some effect... Or perhaps there is some other factors I have not seen..?
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

They can alwaaays put another railgun season anytime. They love wasting money on remakes and fillers anyway. Also Tsukihi baths is next after kaiki so might as well pitch in. But who knows, really.

I think people are looking at the rank too closely and not enough at the points. Event tickets raise the rank temporarily but then it goes back down. At some point most preorders are in so the rank falls but the points remain. The points are what matter in the end. Unless the rank stays high you won't rack up many points.

Rather than just looking at largely pointless of who is at the top (let's face it Love Live v7 now may be #1 but IS OVA still is #2 -- what so big deal to tease about?), why not take a look at Uchouten v1 which jumped from #671 to #53 in a few hours. At #92 it is still much higher than its usual place. News about extras clearly could make a huge impact, couldn't it?

JC staff might try to jumble the railgun timeline and do some Saten fillers because daihasei is terribly long...It is selling anyway. Might as well do some experimenting.

Also yotsugi is the cover art but half the book is tsukihi bathtub.

I looked for new extras for Uchoten Kazoku but found none. A keyword for this weekends show revealed only a new desktop image, no event ticket or other big bonus. The drama CD isn't new or big news.

It is the preorder deadline and the last episode did reveal a lot of information but it wasn't world changing IMO.

So what could explain the astounding jump then? By the way, the CD is NOT a drama CD though...

Saten and SOL fillers are always good for railgun. Average will go back to glorious 24k again.

You knew what happened this second season but yeah...Nisio should stop writing tons of pages of Tsukihi and shaft should stop giving her short arcs.

Sales aren't good for monogatari this season anyways so I guess shaft will abandon it and finish that SZS ending. SZS was sacrificed for bake anyway so karma I guess.

Abandoning monogatari after making promise that they will animate the whole series? Now again you are just talking nonsense and you are again in trolling mode? BTW, it is a wild claim to suggest that SZS was sacrificed for Bake anyway.

Hmmm 20k min 35k max I guess? No way it would go to 50-60k with that pace. Unless Hirano got that seiyuu job to voice Ougi HAHA.

You should try watching Uchouten. Kumeta did the designs.

Yeah watching it. Good backgrounds. Can't believe the old tengu is dating the human XD Good ED though.

Hirano would be good for Ougi, honestly. Hirano can do mysterious characters well.

Not exactly utaite. More like producers. Ryo/Jin kind of producers. The girl (towana) is one but not that popular unfortunately.

Chou,Nagi,Tia,Claris,Deco,Haly,Kuroneko etc...We got a bunch of them now. Hope they chart on oricon more.

From the Bandai listing for volume 1:

■ドラマCD「冬の女神と毛玉たち」


The amazon exclusive listing calls it a 朗読のCD instead, recitation not drama.
