Because Nippon is made of idols, its like their religion. Stage play, insert songs, concerts of VAs that's what move mountains in nippon.

Oh, I guess I'll never understand why the Japanese are ready to buy titles with idols just because there are idols there. Apparently these are really cultural differences, as you say.

Well, I can not say much, since I did not watch anime. But a brief study of the information on this franchise, left me with the impression that this is another otaku-targered game with cute girls and an invited yuri's writer for fanservice adaptation.

Anime only shown the founding of one band out of five that are available in the game. Admittedly general consensus say that even though their music is good the other band is more favored.

The art style on the game arguably one of the most important thing in gacha game is godly. Just look at here.



There is also the fact that they are really band and can perform live not just ad lib.

I won't say the anime do the franchise justice since at the end of the day it is just another part of the multimedia project. The strongest main part of franchise is on game and live stage.

Also you are discrediting something that you haven't seen too much as if you cannot apply the "fake lesbian" label on the show you are also quoting.

This is several old project and a lot of love are poured into character too.

I just know why yuri's writers are invited to adapt such projects in the anime and manga, and why such works are always extremely popular with shippers on Tumbler. In this case, given that the sexuality of girls or their crushes in such works will never be confirmed, so as not to scare off the fanboys of each of them.

In any case, I have nothing against purely entertaining moe titles. I just think this difference in sales is unfair.

Not that much of a drop from Vol.1 to Vol.2 compared to S1, considering Vol.1/2 of S1 also had event tickets. Or Vol.1 started lower than expected since it has added on almost 20k since week 1, compared to 17k for S1. It's still a huge decline regardless. The average will still hold up though as there are event tickets from Vol.3~6.

Yes, I mean the anime is hardly talked about among even anime community and poorly received among the Bandori players.

My guess is the "disc sales" would not be very different numbers without anime discs tbh.

Calling these numbers anime sales is very misleading in the first place

Thank you for the clarification. Apparently I'm too used to the fact that adapting my favorite vn is usually more known than the games themselves.
