I thought it would cross 10k! At this rate, KuroBas will be the one which gets 10k maybe? That would seriously be funny. XD GO FUJOSHI POWER! XDD

Speaking of KuroBas, Character Songs are also rocking it. Now, if JUMP cancelled this manga, they are seriously stupid. I mean, the manga sales went up quite a bit! And unless Stalker is making a mistake with Kurobas' sales(I hope not), I think since nurarhiyon no mago, KuroBas will be the first JUMP anime to sell well.

Gintama would like to talk to you about Jump anime selling well. And sadly, NuraMago barely made the manabi line if I remember correctly. And with how Nyaruko's sales ended up being overestimated in Stalker, I wouldn't really get all excited with Kuroko's sales figures.
Though the character songs selling that well would be something...

We also have no data on Tsuritama or Natsu-iro but neither seem like 10k shows.

RyanSaotome said:
Natsuiro makes me wonder, though. Its an anime aimed totally at male otaku, and its projected to sell about 1500 DVDs. If it does one of those big BD/DVD gaps, it might actually sell near 10k. It'll be tough to sell that many BDs in a week without Amazon, though.

jmal said:
I bet it wouldn't take long to find a poll that lists some 20k+ sellers as the most disappointing show ever.

All very good shows (especially the first two), but none will crack 3k at current estimates. Sankarea is doing particularly awfully despite this being its release week. Ranked #510 only two to three days before release? That's the definition of screwed. At least Nazo and Tasogare have snagged a place in the top 100 this week, even if it's too little too late.

I guess Nazo has a small chance to break 3k, but I wouldn't hold my breath, unless DVDs rank somehow for like ~500 copies. The ranking threshold will probably be higher than that though.


It's definitely doing a lot better than Nichijou ever did. It has had the highest average rank on Amazon throughout the preorder period of any show this season. (55th; Nyaruko averaged 62nd). But I think it'll end up selling about 7k first week, since it hasn't spent a much time ranked very highly (~top 25 or so) like Nyaruko has.

Its current DVD score is 1,350 and Nyaruko's is 1,810; we know Nyaruko was overshot about 30%, so the same would put Natsu-iro around ~1k DVDs, since it has a few days to go. Better than some other male otaku shows but if that's, say, ~20% of the total sales then BDs would be about ~3.5-4k for not quite 5k total. Dunno, we'll see in a week.

jmal said:
Hyouka should be fine as long as it doesn't bomb (like, 4k or less), because it's already a success. I say that because the novels have seen an absolutely enormous increase in sales since the anime was announced. The first volume was under 70k before the anime got it into the rankings again (and surely a chunk of that 70k came from the moment an adaptation was announced), and is now going to be in excess of 200k when this week's figures are posted.
