I sure hope that it's popular because it's ecchi and not because it's yuri. Ecchi is what anime needs more of, not yuri slop.
@Ejrodiew I hope that it's popular because it's actually really good. Because it's so much better than you'd expect an anime with such a description to be,

Of course, it combines three wonderful things: ecchi, yuri and mahou shoujo.

3 episodes in and I already want to buy the manga. But like always, the source is rarely available physically when it's something I found randomly and honestly enjoy.
Feels like a blow to the head of those who honestly want to support the series but don't want to buy it or read it digitally. And since I don't own a blu-ray, no buying that either.

@Khkie I know, I saw the OP's post. But I've some series get good sales but never get a 2nd season despite being popular.

@animegamer245 Why are you trying to downplay the fact it's popular because it's ecchi? Most positive responses is because it's ecchi and not holding back in that regard. It's unique in that it's a rare magic girl ecchi.

not only is it topping Blu-ray sales (by a mile), but it also currently has the most number of followers on X among all the new shows this season, higher than @sololeveling_pr and @dun_meshi_anime

@Tropisch it proves the popularity of the show tho. The number increases rapidly compared to many other shows this season.
If u want an obvious sign of success, it is Abema+niconico viewership ranking or BD sales, which the OP already mentioned.
@Khkie The viewership rankings on those sites are probably pretty meaningless for this show when it is the censored version.

@Khkie Is it? I've seen people saying that it was not doing very well in the viewer rankings in Japan, which makes sense because the censored version is very lazily censored. I went to Abema and it wasn't in the top 20.

@Dunnas c'mon bro. The OP already explained why the show is doing well. But yeah, I meantioned the total viewership of Abema+niconico combined, but the show is apparently way more popular in niconico than Abema. Viewer may prefer this service than the other, dunno.

If even after this it still doesn't get a S2, I'll be convinced that no hardcore ecchi anime in this day and age will get a sequel ever, no matter how popular they become and how good the sales are.

I mean there is a reason for that with overseas streaming being a big chunk of revenue and no streaming service is paying much for a ecchi series

@Nucleus69 I already said this before, but it's likely all the isekai airing this season will get a 2nd and 3rd season before this, if ever, gets more seasons.

This anime is a massive hit in Japan.
Currently, all three Blu-ray editions are in the top 20 sales on Amazon (while other anime of the season are much lower), and this is just for pre-orders. When the Blu-rays are released, they might climb even higher.

On the Niconico ranking, Episode 1 was ranked top1, and Episode 2 got the top2, with just a 0.3% difference from the first (Dungeon Meshi).
Apparently, the manga also got a significant boost in sales.

Previews for the upcoming episodes are reaching 200kviews on YouTube for each episode, whereas the second-highest preview views (Dungeon Meshi) are around 100k.
The opening is soon to reach 1 million views on YouTube.

This marks the seiyuu's first lead role as a real character (her other roles were just background characters).
Her performance is exceptionally well-received by the Japanese audience and has been praised by her more experienced seiyuu colleagues, so her career is off to a great start.

Another factor that contributed to its popularity, I believe, is that the Japanese had high expectations for the "Mato Seihei no Slave" anime but were somewhat disappointed with its quality. In contrast, for "Gushing over Magical Girls," the Japanese had low expectations due to the studio "Asahi Production," but in the end, they were pleasantly surprised to see it push the ecchi elements even further than the manga.

In summary, if it continues like this, the anime has the potential to be the number one hit of the Winter 2024 season in Japan.

no source for half the stuff u written? oh ok

im not talking about the pre-order sales

@traed Some anime Blu-ray are sold in 2 episode volumes, iirc, the Wixoss seasons past S1 are like this. So not too surprising.

@traed to be clear, these blu-rays are not being sold episode by episode, 1-4, 4-8, and 9-13 for this series. total cost is ~33k yen + shipping if you pre-order, so your probably looking at around 300 dollars if you pre-order right now. If you pre-order though you will get the first print case as well which is nice, and I believe its actually cheaper than waiting, since its a markdown of 21%. Tropisch is right though, 6 blu-rays for a 12 episode series is not exactly uncommon.

loli (girl looking in this case not age) yuri ecchi anime ye that combination speaks high ratings in japan

i have not watch it myself but i see the appeal from reading comments about it

Aside from them hitting on a bunch of different kinks and being mostly uncensored even before blueray, a lot of it is the performance with Utena from Izumi Fuuka including weird pervy noises she makes lol

This show should get a season 4, 5 and 6 before these studios waste another yen on boring-ass isekai trash. I can't even imagine who would be watching, say The Unwanted Undead Adventurer over this. And yet there are like 20 trash isekai for each one ecchi anime like this. It's truly idiotic. The market has clearly demonstrated what it wants.
Seems like time for another one of those "what we want/what we get" memes. What we want: Magia Magenta in pasties fighting Utena-chan, what we get a walking skeleton moaning about his fate in endless blue caves. Geezus.. there couldn't be a clearer line between wanted vs unwanted, it even says so in the title.

Great to hear!

I got to say, Utena's VA is amazing. She just nails every line and gives so much personality and likeability to the character.

And as someone who usually doesn't watch much Ecchi, I wonder if it's the same in Japan or if Ecchi is just popular there (as you compared it to the Slave anime). Perhaps it's a bit like Spy X Family in the way that it appeals even to people outside of the usual community of the genre. Though kids probably won't (or shouldn't ^^) watch this.

The sleeper hit, the dark-horse of this season.

Everyone and me were betting on Mato Seihei no Slave that it was going to be the ecchi of the season, and suddenly Utena comes and mogs it really hard.
The anime totally deserves it and makes me happy to see it being rewarded this way by the japanese market. Wished Ishuzoku would've got the same luck.

but anyway I left my two cents, I watched the first episode and it wasn't my cup of tea, I just don't see what the big deal is, but then again I'm not a Lolicon or a P*** or a fan of Magical girls in general and yet to find one I can like, Even Magical Girl destroyer had potential and it didn't deliver

Anime popularity aside, I'm happy that Utena's VA is getting some recognition. She has great voice and does awesome job in this role. She is a good fit too - whoever found her deserves a raise.

I mean, It's not just japan, this is pretty popular here to,

Popular among anime fans, not among the mainstream but still...

It's an ecchi show that knows exactly what ecchi fans want.

Hopefully Mato Seihei no Slave can catch up as well, from my understanding, the "rewards" only get lewder as the show goes on.
@APolygons2 Next episode of Mato can be a turning point for the series.
