He doesn't know anything about sales though. The only thing he's good at is giving recommendations to similarly narrow-minded people.

Meanwhile rederoin is talking about stats, something you can't argue with. Everybody can check the stats themselves and see that rederoin is right.

Except david has said they expect higher sales for SC than the other parts, and they are half as much.

This is the most popular part for the most part.

I didnt say 10k sales sucked. i said david expects more.

Fuck man you dont know everything.

Sure, you go on believing that. I'm not even going to bother with your bullshit.

1.5-3k - Bad, production will probably lose money
4-5k - Okay, production will recoup investment
8-10k - Good, production will make money
15-20k - Very good, production can make a sequel
30-45k - Amazing, production can make 2-3 sequels
Anything above 50k is a potentially money-printing franchise
please don't talk in something you don't understand


I can't tell if you're a troll or just someone who pays absolutely no attention to anime sales. 10,000 is regarded as an extreme success and is far beyond what's required to justify a sequel for virtually any series. Yowamushi Pedal is getting a sequel after averaging approximately 5,000, Non Non Biyori averaged less than 10,000, and Shin'ya Kawatsura said how thrilled he was with the sales so that they could make a 2nd season, Yama no Susume got a 2nd season after the 1st one averaged 4,300, Sora no Otoshimono got a sequel after the 1st one averaged 5,900, Rinne no Lagrange got a sequel after the 1st season averaged 3,200, Mitsudomoe got a sequel after averaging a mere 2,000, the 2nd season of Genshiken averaged 2,300 and they still made a 3rd, Polygon just ordered a 2nd season of Sidonia ni Kishi after the first several discs averaged around 7,500, Chihayafuru, which looked lavishly expensive to produce, averaged 2,800 and still got a 2-cour sequel, the 1st season of Bakuman barely broke 1,000 and they made 50 more episodes after that based on the strength of the manga sales, and I could just go on and on. None of those shows were massive television hits either, some late-night shows even have to have their studio pay the television station to air them and they receive no advertising revenue. 10,000 is a colossal number. Some of the biggest hits of recent memory, High School DxD, Hidamari Sketch, Yahari, etc., don't average that.

you cant attach an arbitrary amount of sales to "getting a second season".

Every license costs a different amount. Production costs varying amounts.

Producers have different expectations.

Get that shit out of here and answer questions based on what you know, not what you think you know from looking at numbers.

Let's hope for a second season of Mahouka and this time it will be done correctly. I think the anime is awesome, however it still scales in comparison with the light novel. The light novel is amazing, and if done correctly it should turn out to be one heck of an awesome anime! Let's hope for Hiroshi Koujina(director of Hunter x Hunter) to be the director next time, or atleast someone more experienced, who has done a few better titles. Though it's a small chance :(

What? Not at all that's about what I expected. Still a shame though as I can tell the team really put their creative ambitions into this one and sadly those sorts of things just aren't always rewarded that much in this medium. I still haven't really gotten over what happened with Redline for example.

Kaioshin_Sama said:
Your definition of "good anime" is messed up. Anime is entertainment. Visual one. If you care about plot or depth of characters/themes more, go read some books instead of bitching all the time that anime oh so surprisingly isn't what it never wanted to be.


There's plenty of anime with solid plot, depth, characters and themes at least IMO. Don't sell the medium so short that easily please. I also wasn't bitching at all that I can recall, just being realistic about how sales potentials tend to work. Try not to start fights where there are none to be had all the time.

Kaioshin_Sama said:
If "safe bet" means "1k or more", then sure.


You notice that huge "but" section after where I talked about having to do it right in order for it to work out and there usually being one series that dominates in that regard over others. I think most of them tend to do at least somewhat decently at the very least. I probably shouldn't have said "safe bet" though so much as not as risky as some other avenues of appeal. I kind of forgot that unless your cover your bases 100% and parrot certain opinions and ideas then that means it's an argument with you, Rederoin and the like. Shits getting rather old don't you think? Whatever though I kind of expect it at this rate. Point is I'm trying to get a point across to some people that think it's a matter of simply overall quality and there tastes when really it's just not the case.

Well it seems that any series that has sold an average of 9k or above is always 100 percent guaranteed to have a sequel series unless it has a conclusive ending.

if that is the case than the series that have aired this years so far they will surely have a continuation this year are:

Is this an order of rabbit? 11,629k
Haikyuu!! 26,563k
Hoozuki no Reitetsu 14,133k
JoJo Bizarre Adventures 13,180k
Love Live! 2nd season 82,807K Really it's no brainier this one :P
The Irregular at Magic High School 12,436K
Mekakucity Actors 9,057k
No Game No Life 9,325k

Just a tip. Don't put it at 100%, it just get your hopes crushed even harder if the manga/LN goes on haitus or when it becomes one of the rare exceptions(I did not check 2005 or before).

For Bakuman the important factor wasn't manga sales, but rather that it was an NHK production.

Being a tax funded broadcaster NHK doesn't worry much about disc sales and 50 episodes seems to be their norm, not the exception. Case in point Log Horizon. They had renewed it even before a single disc had been sold.

But in general you are right and it highlights the importance of many factors outside of disc sales, it matters who produces it, it matters the combination of that production team, it matters how the working relationship with everyone is, it matters what the tie-ins are (merchandise, CDs, whatever), and it matters what the upside on additional volume sales are, all sorts of things. It also depends on where it was broadcast, NHK is one type, but an animation that has commercial (literally) appeal will get a more prominent broadcast time and thus be less dependent on disc sales. Depending on these factors, a 2,000 disc sale could be more profitable than a 6,000 disc sale, similar to how a blockbuster can be an economic failure raking in $100 million in sales, but a movie can be an economic success with only $10 in sales.

Disc sales and ranges are merely a general indication of success, specifically it means very little.

Don't know if it's just the first part, but Mahouka has horrible characters, pretty colors, decent sound, and I would say an average plot... And horrible characters. Maybe it'll get better towards the end, but I kinda doubt it. Anyway, still want NGNL season 2 bad! Hope the sales can stay strong for the other volumes.

At least NGNL is entertaining unlike Mahouka the incest pandering snorefest.

Surprised by how low Nozaki-kun ED is, considering it's one of the higher sellers for this season (much higher than Hanayamata at least). And didn't the OP come out as well? Did it honestly sell fewer than 874 copies?

It's a shame because it's one of the better original series Aniplex has helped produced in a long long time (probably since Shin Sekai Yori) and probably for a long time to come. No hype, no overt pandering and big promises, just a simple 11 episode show that adapts an old story and does so in a surprisingly interesting and memorable way.


Aniplex doesn't seem to think Ping Pong will sell here either similar to SSY, since they didn't bother to license them to Aniplex of America. These kinds of shows always seem to be popular on anime websites but when it comes to sales they tank.
