Tenshi_Shura said: Nachtwandler_21 said: It was already said that BD sales won't affect probability of Yona S2. It was? I didn't know. Why? Not like I don't like the idea. Just curious. Because as it was said, not all of the anime is made to sell disks. Actually only if anime is not based on any media than it's mian purpose is not to bump manga/LN/VN/biook/game sales. If discs sold well — even better, but it's just a bonus. And in case of AnY they don't even hoped BDs/DVDs will sell, that's why they were released so late. And BTW even original animes generally get most of the profit from merchandise. Yes, sometime disk sales could affect probability of new season but not as often as you think. |

| I guess Japan isn't too much into the Kekkai Sensen OP/ED. I guess sorta understandable since it did take me a while to get into them, too. |

| Kuroko with a nice second week, all I really care about. Keep truckin', boys. Akatsuki no Yona was an okay show, but I'd like a second season. It got a huge manga boost and it's disc sales are looking decent, so it should hopefully get a second season. Anyway, Kekkai Sensen comes out on 17th, so I'm excited to see how it will do. I'm hoping for some big numbers because it is a fantastic show. |

I mean..I didn't watch it yet..but we're talking about studio pierrot here..the one who fucked tokyo ghoul..and still fucking naruto right now.......-_-' I watched both Root A and Yona while they were airing and the difference was astounding. Yona is not only much more beautiful, but the anime itself was much better. Solid fantasy series, great comedy, and wonderful characters and writing. I'd suggest watching at least six episodes. |

thepath said: Esbeegezee said: What´s Akatsuki about? the bishie version of Pokemon where literally nothing happens in the entire 24 episode run? Noting happens in 24 episodes ?! Maybe you are watching a different show. Nope. There's hardly anything that happened in the anime considering it had 24 episodes. And it can be easily justified if you have read the manga. The anime ended right before the best part. The manga gets probably 20 times better in the chapters around 60-70 and kept the quality throughout that followed. There is a reason why it is one of the top 5 shoujo manga in MAL and ranked 32 overall in all time top manga in MAL. Some chapters gave me goosebumps and mind that I am talking about a shoujo manga here. Under the mischievous mask of a bishounen shoujo manga it has one of the most well thought out political scenarios, one of the most intriguing characters those are driven by their motives — some extremely mysterious, while others with strong will to move forward; this is probably one of the best manga in recent years, in shoujo genre, probably one of the all time best. But don't talk ill of my Katou. I will be crossed >,< |

By the way, we're derailing this thread. Let's just hope it gets a second season so the good part will get animated. The whole show was like a prologue for the main plot. |

| This was going to happen anyway (it was only a question of when), but the Love Live! Best Live! Collection II by μ's has been gold disc certified by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) for having at least 100K copies shipped: http://www.riaj.or.jp/data/others/gold/201505.html This is the 5th Love Live! CD to be gold disc certified after それは僕たちの奇跡 (2nd Season OP) by μ's, タカラモノズ/Paradise Live (mobile game theme song) by μ's, Love Live! Best Live! Collection (album) by μ's, and 冬がくれた予感 (subunit collaboration with the mobile game) by BiBi. Actual sales are of course always lower than shipment numbers since rarely are all copies "sold", but this one should easily go over 100K Oricon sales after それは僕たちの奇跡 and Love Live! Best Live! Collection did so last year. タカラモノズ/Paradise Live is stuck at 98,224 and 冬がくれた予感 is stuck at 94,404. This is a great result for a non-mainstream artist, but I suspect Houkago Tea Time of K-ON! has had more gold disc certifications. HTT was just in another realm in terms of CD sales for late-night anime franchises. EDIT: Yeah, HTT had 8 releases with over 100K Oricon sales (1 album reached over 200K Oricon sales), so definitely it would've had at least 8 gold disc certifications from the RIAJ. |

| Feels strangely good to see Magical Boys (Binan Koukou) doing so well. Maybe it'll encourage a second season and more fun parodies like it! Mostly unsurprising sale numbers though, kinda sad about YuriKuma's sales. Seeing the Kekkai Sensen OP/ED sell well is always a nice thing though. Not a huge fan of the show, but those two songs are pretty sweet. |

| Now i'm really curious to see if Death Parade will get some sales. Probably not, it was shit in Japan but still. I'm curious. |

Also, Gundam Origin should probably not be in this list, since it is an OVA series rather than a TV anime. Aldnoah.Zero 2 is missing from this list, which did 7,990 in 6 weeks of sales. The number for Yuri Kuma Arashi is out of date. It is at 1,310 after DVD sales became known due to newer lower bounds in the Oricon extended lists. Military! is also out of date, as it is now at 552 after 3 weeks of sales. Doamaiger D did between 146 and 162 DVDs. So it should be set to its lower bound of 146. Thank you, fixed. Aldnoah Zero is removed. |

AquaWateria said: LoneWizard said: 10 episode and i've yet to see a single animation mistake or quality drop...Pace is good,story is good...I dont see what would "justify" it if Food Wars doesnt jstify it... Actually the animation isn't really that good, it's low budget. I'd say that if you compare the anime to the manga the anime is really bland in comparison. People who are watching Soma would probably have no incentive in buying it because cooking isn't something that's interesting and add to the fact people only buy a few select series per season considering how expensive anime is. So to them Soma would probably not be their choice. Japanese people don't have good taste >:( |
| People complaining about shit sales and shit japan taste, but i'm pretty sure no one of those complainers bought any bd in their lives. I hope Yahari S3, I already preordered vol1... |

Every season we get many similar anime to this generic crap. Plastic Memories sales is also disappointing. I can't see Saekano on your list, so I assume you haven't watched it. I thought it was going to be a generic SOL harem as well, until I found out that the writer also wrote White Album 2, which I expected to be a generic harem. However, WA2 was surprisingly good so I gave Saekano a chance. And boy, I did not regret it. At first glance, it might look like your generic harem anime. I'm not saying it's MUCH more than that, but it is definitely more than that. There are small things in Saekano which seperates it from the 2-3 generic harems we get every season. I can understand why Japan likes it. It's definitely not the case that Japan buys every single generic harem anime that's released every season. But they did buy Saekano, and there's a very good reason for that. As for Yona, it's sad that its sales are low. I heard very good things about it. I've also heard that the sales do not really matter for the show though, so there might be a second season in the future. |
 |
| ow SaeKano's at the top.. how to raise a boring girlfriend? uhm..still idk after watching..haha, still funny though this RomComs DanMachi will take over soon enough because I put my bet with it |
| Why you guys are even complaining about Yona and Ore monogatari sales? They are shoujo duh, they don't normally buy discs, that was expected. That said, Mr.Children is indeed a monster in Japan, but 300k is nothing compared to the old 2000ish sales with their seven digit sales for the top charts. Mr. Children is one of the few survivors from the chart which had been dominated with idols for these late several years. |
| People need to realize the difference between popularity here and in Japan. Food Wars is getting pretty big in the west, but you shouldn't be surprised if it sells like shit in Japan. Just look at Tokyo Ghoul and Parasite, sure they sold OK but nowhere near as much as the hype over here would suggest. And I bet almost none of you guys have seen Fafner: Dead Aggressor, yet it is one of the highest selling anime of late 2014/2015 with >10k sales. |

Brah have you seen the Manga sales for Tokyo Ghoul which sells about 900K per Vol. plus the merchandise is selling like hotcakes. Tokyo Ghoul is much popular in Japan than the west so I don't know what your talking about. Also the reason the BD didn't sell that much was because the anime was shit and to buyers that wouldn't be a good incentive to buy especially when anime is expensive. So yeah your really underestimating Tokyo Ghoul's popularity. We're talking about anime sales here. I don't even know how much a manga costs, much less follow the sales. |
