Kin088 said: lol....Sansha Sanyou Vol 3 sold better that Hero Academia Vol 3 ..even though its only by 21.. wasn't expecting that... You need to look at the DVD sales as well. |
................................................................................. |
| The kizu blu-ray sold more than last week, That's odd. |
| Sansha Sanjou is really popular, i guess 2nd season is almost certain, they have lots of material to use already, since manga started in 2003, and is still going. |
Voidd said: Almost 50K total now! Not as good as it would have been if they'd released it years ago as they'd originally planned but still, not bad. We need them to finish the movies, Final Season and Off Season. Just have to hope it continues selling enough for Aniplex and Kodansha to keep paying Shaft to animate it.The kizu blu-ray sold more than last week, That's odd. |
| Kidou Senshi Gundam Thunderbolt: December Sky almost 20k...interesting. |
 |
| Nice to see Haikyuu being on top again. |
 |
| No Re:Zero this week. Should be in the extended rankings however. |
| Down on the West Coast They got a sayin' |
| Hopefully other areas of sales are good enough for sequels. *3. 1,721 **1,721 Sansha Sanyou Vol.3 *6. 1,111 **1,111 Dagashi Kashi Vol.6 Limited Edition |

| I gotta say I'm surprised to see Dagashi Kashi up there, but good for them, it's pretty good after all and it seems it's not just me who thinks that. |

In terms of ''quality''. It's the opposite if anything imo. That little preview in Bakemongatari about Kizumonogatari looked better than the current sunburned style of the film, the character design also feels odd. SHAFT really missed out on what could have been their biggest success ever or at least as good as the Madoka movie. |

edge13 said: Oh yes. Overall I'm not excited or sad about any of the sales on this list anymore. Disc sales don't really mean that much and don't determine the success or failure of a show. Good disc sales help of course but low sales don't spell disaster if the source material and/or other merchandise sells well.hpulley said: Sadly 1,111 copies is nothing to be happy about. Better than "**,*** not ranked", sure but not good. Too bad as it was quite fun. main purpose is to sell candy/dagashi and i heard the manga got quiet a boost too. |

I said SHAFT because that what associate the movie/series with. |

hpulley said: Staff might be the same but what i enjoy the most is the art style. Looking at the pv for kizu the art style would have been similar to the rest of the series. I believe this wait is great because it gives Oishi a chance at a high quality series.moodie said: Kizumonogatari brought back much of the staff from Bakemonogatari.

moodie said: I enjoy it too. I'll admit when I saw the first PV with the new character designs I was surprised at first but after seeing the whole movie I love the designs. Tsubasa especially... I must say I would have chosen her over Hitagi or perhaps that is to say I would have chosen Tsubasa there and Hitagi might not have had a chance.hpulley said: Staff might be the same but what i enjoy the most is the art style.

Toadesstern said: Yes, it could have been released as one 2.5 hour movie or something like that. Yeah, it could be an attempt to get more money now when releasing it years ago might have given them the same money with a single film. But I think you'll find in general you get extremes from amazon reviews, or reviews anywhere really. The haters will always be the loudest. hpulley said: Kizumonogatari brought back much of the staff from Bakemonogatari.

I think trying to produce it as one film initially is likely at least part of the reason why it took years to come out. I think they came to realize that and decided to make it three separate projects in smaller chunks which are much easier to start and finish with high quality. Personally I wish it had some out in one long film mostly so I would have it already! Having to wait likely another 1-2 years for the last 2 Blurays is unfortunate. I wish it had come out years ago but.... this is how they're releasing it so I must wait. Bad reviews on amazon are not going to make the sequels come out more quickly. |

I myself don't really mind it but I do wonder if sales would be better otherwise. Then again, is 1x good sales better or 3x "mediocre" sales? :P Also kind of questionable wether or not some people actually didn't by it because they're pissed about the 3way split. As we know anime BDs are kind of targeted at hardcore fans right? So chances are they're going to rant online but buy it nontheless because duh. If they aren't hardcore fans they're not going to pay that much money for BDs in the first place I'd assume |
Toadesstern said: Anime is very, very expensive. Only the most hardcore fans will buy the Blurays. Fans and casuals looking for a night at the movies will pay to see it in the theater. Others will just wait for the BD to be ripped and watch it for free online. hpulley said: Yes, it could have been released as one 2.5 hour movie or something like that.

If they aren't hardcore fans they're not going to pay that much money for BDs in the first place I'd assume Real hardcore collectors in fact PREFER it to be 3 discs as it means more boxes, more post cards, more booklets, more bonus CDs. Casual collectors will wait for the 3-disc BD Box which will be cheaper; hardcore collectors will buy the Box as well but never just the box. But those hardcore collectors seem to be a dying breed, as evidenced by the sliding sales pretty much across the board this year. |
