jacobpaige said: if they want their stuff to sell then they should lower their prices, the only reason I hardly ever buy anime is because it costs so much more than every other tv series I could be buying (with a few exceptions). If they just dropped the price into the $20-50 per season range (depending on series length) then I'm sure their sales would increase drastically across the board and that people who don't buy anime at all would begin to do so. Dropping from 400-450 dollars to 20-50 dollars would be quite the drop, and basically asking to go bankrupt.. |

| Yeah! Freezing is on of the Top 5! |
j0x said: wow if the gap is that huge like 70,000 compared to 800 then does that mean their profit is just break even in the end? lol that is certainly bad, the anime industry is dying Profit line is generally around 3k. So if you have 73k or so with 3 shows, they are still racking up mad profits. |

ItsSoPringles said: someone please explain to me why that POS "is that a zombie" solf better than gossick and level E. thats just insulting OH GOD i just noticed freezing is also high up. what the hell guys. why are you spending money on this crap and not on the good stuff. next thing i know infinite stratos will be numbe-OH GOD DAMN IT. i hate the world KoreZom was either hit or miss with people. It brought the usual weird generic harem stuff but what made it slightly different is that the protagonist was likeable to an extent more than others, and the fact that Eucliwood highly resembles Kanade from Angel Beats just helps. not saying Go Sick and Level E are bad(havent watched them, maybe when they finish airing all their episodes then i'd probably watch it) but thats parts of the reason why it sold better probably |
| If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card). |
fri said: there's Charlotte.How come Infinite Shit is selling this good? |

| LOL, Infinite Stratos is #2 |
| I don't like this. At alll. |
 |
| At least Dragon Crisis & Rio are getting the sales they deserve. Those were 2 of the utter crap shows of the season. Although I'm wondering why Freezing is so high in the sales, when it was just as bad as Dragon Crisis & Rio. |

BlueCyanide said: fractale was awesome people just are too lowbrow to understand most anime aniplex did will be major sales when they hit the western countrys That's exactly what i'm thinking |
 |
| I don't understand why freezing and especially IS are so high in the rankings even though they aren't good series, or that's at least how many people think about it. I find it also weird that (compared) Madoka sells so much and Kimi ni Todoke and Gosick so much more less. And I really expected the 4 last (except for Rio) to be much more higher in the rankings. And wtf, 562 sells of dragon crisis? That's a ridiculously small amount, though it really isn't a bad series. Onii-chan is much worse, but in Japan incest always sells so that shouldn't be a problem for the producers. And Hourou Musuko and Fractale should be much higher also, they're one of the best series last season! |
| This list only proves that japotaku have no taste and they love being shafted. |
| If anyone is a good prophet, can someone tell me when an anime crash will happen, if it ever does. |
 |
| So many people not understanding IS's sales... Are you really trying? It's very simple. It's got nothing to do with battle sequences or plot, fanservice, or anything. It's the girls. You're bound to like at least one girl of the harem, and when Germany came to the scene, the show basically became a battle between france and germany (for the fans). I mean, the CGI was shit, and the plot was weak, obviously no one bought it for neither of those reasons, all that matters is the HNNNG-factor. And it makes sense. You might like a show with a good nicely done story and might want to own it for that reason; but the reality is, you can only truly enjoy the plot once, so if you're going to buy something, there's probably other reasons. Also. ITT, people complayning their favorite anime didn't sell. |

There hasn't been a single show in the Qwaser, Ikki Tousen, Samurai Girls, Queens Blade etc mold that HASN'T sold 5k. 5k-6k is like the minimum for those borderline hentai series with lots of boobs. |

Speaking of Samurai Girls, Sentai Filmworks is licensing it with an August 23rd release in the US only. |

| Question: how DVDs/Blu-rays do they have to sell in order for the anime to break even? |
TheRumblingWolf said: Question: how DVDs/Blu-rays do they have to sell in order for the anime to break even? 3k is the average amount. Some may be more or less due to the size of the budget though |

Personally, I was glad to see it stay rather true to the novellas. doesnt change the fact it's a piece of crap ycart59 said: Shame on Level E selling so low. Then again, maybe it was only fun for me because I was watching it with a friend. But the gap between 2 and 3 is almost comical. nope, level e was probably the best of winter alongside madoka. it is a massive shame it didn't sell well |
