| Seems like K have it good. I don't really like K. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| 11, 10,881 10,881 Magi "The Bravery" Nice though I wish it has more sales. |
 |
| Nice to see that Supercell with Koeda is selling :) |
| 16, *,380 *,*19,531 Kuroko no Basket vol.8 Glad to see Kuroko. |
| Key observations - The last 2 volumes of "K" are vastly boosted by event tickets. Whereas the first week sales of K vol.5 was around 5.5k, here we see around 8k sales for vol.6 & 7 - Nekomonogatari added another 3.7k of sales. According to anecdotes I saw in Japanese forum, quite many casual fans of the -monogatari series did not even know the OVA was released (much less aired on TV) already. This would explain its bigger tail compared to other anime. This brings it much closer to what the last volume of Nise (just short of 60k). - OreShura and GJ-bu have accumulated sales. Most likely to see them again next week because of the flood of new titles coming. - Aikatsu v1 is also showing strength. A minor surprise hit for 2012 Fall anime. - ROBOTICS;NOTES OP single failed to chart !! |

| 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. |

Next week is going to have pretty high thresholds with many "hits" coming out in the March 18~24 week.

Happy to see Nekomonogatari, Ookami and Oreshura adding more. Edit: looking not so forward to the numbers for D.C.III. Garupan v3 a chance at top ten? I should think so! Top current release perhaps. |

jmal said: I agree with the numbers. My focus is mainly on how Neko-Kuro v1 compared with the last volume out in the -monogatari franchise, which is Nise v5. And I think I misstated my point - instead of "bigger tail" the speculation is more about a "longer tail". I'd say the opposite so far: this is fairly small second week. It's smaller than any Nise second week in absolute numbers and smaller than all but Nise v1 in terms of percentage of the first two weeks. It's still 7k behind any Nise volume as well. And I am also thinking a final figure of around 54-55k. |

mistress_kisara said: Wow! Pretty good sales for K! Hopefully the 2nd season comes soon! A second season has already been announced. Also, to those who are saying K doesn't deserve being at the top, this ain't about which anime is best. This is about which anime can pander to it's target market the best. And quite clearly, K managed to do it brilliantly. Seriously, this is like asking why a KyoAni anime sells well. |
 |
yhunata said: While what you said about K has good point, on KyoAni the truth is these days a KyoAni anime does not necessarily sell well. Look at Nichijou. And Tamako Market is likely to perform well below early expectation. If the pandering theory is correct, one may say that perhaps KyoAni does not really pander to its target market always that well, or it does not really do as much pandering as many stereotypical views have it. At the end, I think asking why a KyoAni anime sells well is as valid as asking why an anime by any other studio sells well. Seriously, this is like asking why a KyoAni anime sells well. |

It think the original comment is already sarcastic lol. Totoro is a classic that will continue to sell as long as babies are born in Japan xD. This is just like people commented on One Piece earlier in the manga news section |

| Regarding K topped the week's chart, I think it's mainly because this is a slow week, as well as the the event ticket that symbv mentioned. First week's 5k is so-so for an anime with that much production value. |

yhunata said: Well, then you seem to pick and choose only the successful KyoAni titles. I mean, even early KyoAni has big failure like Munto, and recent KyoAni has failure like Nichijou.

I was referring to the earlier ones and ones like Chuunibyou, but you got the point. yhunata said: Very much agree.

It's just that I cannot bring myself watching their recent releases since they all feel the same to me. KyoAni these days is just going around, picking up some obscures titles while studios like JC Staff and A1 keep stocking up popular adaptations. It's not "breaking grounds" if you pick up obscure titles, but then still use the same old drawing styles and plot devices tainted by the Moe stigma that people have come to associate KyoAni with. I'm disappointed considering how much potential had been wasted when KyoAni not adapting popular stuffs out there like SAO or Little Buster. Imagine what would have turned out for those series. KyoAni needs a change of direction, and fast. Just copy what Sunrise did. They are the best at diversifying their works |

That's pretty much the only thing they've got to run on. It would be a sad day for the anime industry if KyoAni were to shut down, simply for the loss of their beautiful animation. On the other hand it would get rid of a lot of disinformation, misconceptions, inter-fandom drama (the Shaft vs. Kyoani thing is just insufferable and you'd sometimes think they are the only two studios worth paying attention to the way some diehards go on about them) and just general unpleasantness within the western anime community right off the bat. Frankly after all the crap I've had to deal with from Kyoani fans over the years and just how much damage I think their existence has done to peoples conceptions of anime, the fanbase, moe, and the relationships within communities I would not shed a single tear if they were to just go away. I mean I'd feel sorry for the people that genuinely just like their stuff and aren't obnoxious about their appreciation of it by putting other stuff down at the same time, but the benefits I can see of them just never being a factor in anime again far outweigh whatever might be lost, which right now looks to me to just be a specific fluid style of animation with specific character designs. Also I think people are grossly underestimating how many units Tamako Market is going to move. It's first volume is currently occupying the #27 spot on the Amazon Bestseller charts as an example and the 2nd volume has been steadily climbing as well. It must have done something to get attention back, but god help me if I could possibly guess what as I'm really not good at honing in on the things that Japanese fans go nuts for. I'm not seeing signs of it being another major smash hit, but it's not looking like a major bomb either. I guess you can count me as another one of those people that sees the Kyoani fanbase as crazy devoted and who has the hunch that no matter what their output it will sell respectably because of that strong devotion and obligation to support them within the base. If it does do well (Going to claim well to be 6,000-7,000+ per volume here) I think it'll provide a fair bit of proof for the theory that diehard fans showed up at the 11th hour to I suppose pay their dues. If not then I'd say symbv/jmal's points stand. Very curious to see what happens here as even the pro-Kyoani crowd seems very certain it'll be a disappointing return come next Monday, whereas I'll believe it when I see it. ThangLong said: I'm disappointed considering how much potential had been wasted when KyoAni not adapting popular stuffs out there like SAO or Little Buster. Imagine what would have turned out for those series. KyoAni needs a change of direction, and fast. Just copy what Sunrise did. They are the best at diversifying their works The problem with this is that Sunrise is almost impossibly huge and in a rare position where they are set up to do this sort of thing and diversify while Kyoani isn't really if for no other reason than the simply lack the same access to diverse resources and talents. Sunrise is essentially a collection of producers with a stupid amount of capital and human resources to draw on from outside the company (think like New York Yankees buying their team type deal), whereas Kyoani is very much an animation studio in the traditional sense (think Mushi Production) that keeps a familiar in house staff that essentially contribute on every project. It's not to the point of Shaft where they literally have only have one director who controls basically the entire vision and direction of the studios projects, but it's not hard to see how a lot of their stuff can end up feeling sameish when it's a lot of the same people working on every project. Compare that to Sunrise who are subdivided into approximately 10 different sub-studios each with their own assigned producer pursuing their own ideas and who can and will simply hire the staff and cast they need for a given project based on their resume and also pull on Namco Bandai's internal resources like Lantis large retention of music artists and you can see why they have such a different approach by necessity. Sunrise is also in a rare position because of it's size, history, reputation, capital and position as a Namco Bandai subsidiary to essentially be it's own content publisher and to deliver a steady stream of it's own original copyrighted franchises. Unless Kyoani suddenly has a major turnover in staff or starts to look a little more for outside talent to come in and work with them on a project I expect the ideas, processes and overall output to remain very familiar. |

jmal said: Kaioshin_sama said: stuff I see you are still unaware of how much much more aggressively, overwhelmingly negative you are than any of the people you're so offended by. How unfortunate. The speed with which people such as yourself immediately dash to the defensive without even understanding the charges being made and as if what I'm saying couldn't possibly have a hint of truth to it is exactly the sort of thing I'm talking about here. Although I was also talking about people that follow their stuff just to criticize it for being moe pandering. In general though I was simply talking about all the extremism that surrounds the studios output and reputation in general both positive and negative that I'd love to see the community rid of for good. If you want to deny that that sort of extremism and drama exists around Kyoani that's fine I suppose, it just puts further proof to my point at the end of the day that people don't want to acknowledge that Kyoani fandom has problems. |
jmal said: Shattix123 said: didn´t" K" had high production cost? Is 8 k really enought to cover the cost? I'm not sure it did have that high a cost, honestly. My impression from watching the whole show is that it managed to "do more with less". There's a lot of stock repeated footage, especially for attacks, and production values in general dropped later on in the show. I never minded too much because it was good silly fun, but visually it was definitely noticeable. I think K papered over some of its production deficiencies fairly well with the heavily stylized art. I can't say if the DVD/BDs covered the cost all by themselves, but it's pretty common for that not to happen even with decently successful shows anyway. A lot of money gets made up with music, print adaptations, license fees/streaming revenue, and of course merchandise. If DVD/BDs alone cover costs, you've probably got a very very successful show on your hands. Yeah, GoRA did say that it got a 2nd season because "there was a lot of support from the fans". K has a HUGE pile of merchandises available :D |

Come now, don't imply you're saying anything new. It's not jumping to conclusions if I've seen the same stereotypes a dozen times now. You're offended by the cruel indignities you've suffered at the hands of crazed zealots who are ruining anime and [etc]. Tossing in an offhand caveat about "oh except for a couple reasonable ones", as if that undoes the massive stereotyping you engaged in for sentences or paragraphs, is a cheap trick. Sorry, I tried way harder than was reasonable to find something fair in your position, but then every time you'd turn around and undo it all with the force of a nuke a week or two later the next time you posted. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. No more. You're refusal to acknowledge any of these things as anything other than 100% stereotypes (I assume the whole thing with Little Busters as an example of what I'm talking about just never happened) or to even acknowledge that there's a hint of truth to any of these assertions I've made is again EXACTLY the sort of thing I'm talking about and almost creating a meta-level conversation. Just so entrenched and unwilling to engage the issue because you think it's unpleasant or mean-spirited or something. I mean I'm a huge fan of Gundam for example and think the world of the franchise, but I still acknowledge that there's huge image problems with extremism and disinformation within that community that comes off as undesirable to a lot of people. It's unpleasant, but I'm not going to deny it's there or try to accuse people of simply stereotyping when they point out how it's kept them from getting into the franchise or when they say the fans scare them away. But sure whatever man, it's all just a bunch of stereotyping any time anybody suggests there's drama, misinformation and fanaticism surrounding Kyoani and there's just no truth to any of it. I'll just tell you what you want to hear from now on and everyone can be happy and march forward in flat out denial as the perfect happy community. Sigh..... |

yhunata said: symbv said: yhunata said: While what you said about K has good point, on KyoAni the truth is these days a KyoAni anime does not necessarily sell well. Look at Nichijou. And Tamako Market is likely to perform well below early expectation. If the pandering theory is correct, one may say that perhaps KyoAni does not really pander to its target market always that well, or it does not really do as much pandering as many stereotypical views have it. At the end, I think asking why a KyoAni anime sells well is as valid as asking why an anime by any other studio sells well. Seriously, this is like asking why a KyoAni anime sells well. I was referring to the earlier ones and ones like Chuunibyou, but you got the point. And it's actually quite sad if they can't meet their target markets that well. That's pretty much the only thing they've got to run on. It would be a sad day for the anime industry if KyoAni were to shut down, simply for the loss of their beautiful animation. Well for me (my personal opinion), they can start with doing some good works for once, like Haruhi. I don't think it is top notch but fair enough, and it is so much better than what they are shitting out right now. Now they're focusing on making everything look cute that they forget that the shows have to be good as well. |
