They're getting 2nd cour/seasons!

2.2 Hamatora
1.2 Space Dandy
1.2 Nobunaga the Fool
1.1 Buddy Complex
0.2 Strange+

I assume they were all actually split cour, just not originally announced as such.


I don't think nobunaga the fool was split cour...

But the one that stands out as a WTF for me is Buddy Complex. The sales seem bad so why are they going forward with another season so much later? Why not cut your losses? Does Sunrise see something I don't? Is there a bunch of merchandise making tons of money that I'm not aware of? Did they simply plan it as a split cour and now there is no turning back?
You're right, sorry. Nobunaga the Fool was 2 cour from the get go and is not split. The rest will be split.

As for why Buddy Complex is getting that second cour... I assume they already have people on contract for the 2nd cour and breaking all those contracts would be more expensive than making the anime.

Buddy Complex sells figures, kits or whatever it's called, that's why, the bu ray/dvd sales hurt it but the merchandise must have made up for it.

Blu ray/dvd aren't everything, WIXOSS will sell cards and I see Hamatora as a warm up for Durarara personally and the sales they do get will offset the animation in the long long.

Do we have numbers for this? I'm curious if they're actually selling many, and who would be buying them? Fujoshi who aren't buying the discs?

I could believe Valvrave might have made a profit as a split cour (IIRC), but Buddy Complex? Not sure about that...

ichii, could you give me some proof (a link) that Buddy Complex figures exist, I haven't seen any at all and there's been several figure related conventions in Japan recently and I haven't seen any from the many pics I've seen from each one.

Buddy Complex is made to advertise a Cell Phone game for Namco Bandai. Not sure how popular the cell phone game is, but as a result of being a direct subsidiary of Namco Bandai Sunrise kind of does things differently than most anime studios in that they have like 12 sub studios each with their own producer and that their considerations are largely multimedia related and vertically and horizontally integrated as such within the Namco Bandai family which has a stake in everything from toys to games to music to anime to amusement parks.

Does anyone know what's up with JoJo SC's opening single? Wasn't it released on the 23rd? If so, shouldn't it then be rocking those CD charts? What's up, Japan?
Was it missed? It certainly ranked. Yep, just missed:

*13 **9,866 *,**9,866 Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders OP "STAND PROUD" by HASHIMOTO Jin

Thanks for the confirmation. Ironic how one of the season's best songs gets overlooked like this. Sasuga.

well the novels sell like hotcakes so I don't think it matters too much honestly, if anything the anime will help it sell even more than it already is

The expectation from franchise fans is that if tomorrows episode is good it can singlehandedly save that anime Blu-Ray fortunes assuming the franchise faithful haven't already given up on the adaptation.

Only if its an original anime and nobody expected it. For one of the top selling LN franchises, most of the people buying the show already know the twist so it shouldn't have much of an impact I'd imagine.

I have only seen it with original anime(i.e GuP).


For Mekaku, it only keeps going lower on Amazon, and its NND rating also keep going lower.

Yeah that's pretty damning. It seems like Japan still isn't convinced so if it were me I wouldn't exactly be putting any last minute bets down on this show right now if that was the early response to it's keynote episode since it's based around the PV that started Kagerou Projects rise to fame. All the episodes that are currently up for preorder seem to have aired now as well. Still we'll see where it's at at the end of the week as it literally just aired a few hours ago and it's still late night in Japan, but this is the episode that really needed to just blow peoples socks off and get an immediate and resounding positive response and it looks like it did not.

The Haikyuu!! DVDs go into the top 50. Seems like it has a good chance at getting 10k+ sales now. Assuming the v3 event ticket drop is not too big.



I wish Gochuisa could get these kind of episode boosts ;_;

Gochiusa needs to take full advantage of the fact that they are running out of source material and place some epic first or second halves of some future episodes. Unfortunately the difference in animation may cost the series because of how mixed a bag it is.

Yaaasss, makes me so happy to see Haikyuu!! doing so well. I adore the series. Can't wait to see the actual numbers though.

Just did next week's release estimates(Noragami v3, Kill la kill v5 and Kyousou giga v5). And it looks like another boring/dead week.

It most definitely did not, honestly, I would have probably prefered it if they just went ahead and put the PV of the song in there instead of what they did. It's puzzling how you can manage to get that low in terms of sales for an anime that is adapted from one of the best selling novels out there.

v1 and v2 can end up doing rather good if it has a storefront effect. I'm talking about maybe even reaching 15k in its first week, at this point I wouldn't even be surprised at 20k for v1 and v2.

That is ofcourse assuming its storefront/underestimation is as big as KnB and that it keeps performing like this on Amazon Stalker.
But v3 will have a big event ticket drop, its final number depends on how big the drop will be.

What's up with Sidonia? Impressive ranking but there hasn't been a new episode in a while so...why? Not complaining about it though.

BTW why is Sidonia's sale date so early anyways? Relative to many other series.
