Now people see that Stalker is bullshit and Aniplex always clean sweeps every season. Your show ain't sell shit if it's not by them. That said those are some horrific numbers for the latest iDOLM@STER (I actually find this one really strange as it was estimated at like 7,000 and has more than cleared that number before) and everything still did pretty badly. Everything has to come in below the Aniplex shows though naturally so Overload is way overestimated. Such is the anime industry.

Hey, don't forget about Symphogear GX also Classroom Crisis is looking to be a huge bomb and its from them.

"Translator’s note: of course, these tweets don’t appear to cover stuff like Suzumiya Haruhi, which sold well but have special circumstances behind the companies that produce the show."
Does anyone know what are those circumstances..?

Once again, unless the studio owns the franchise, its irrelevant to it getting a 2nd season.
How many times do I have to repeat this?
BTW..if some studio wants to adapt some manga or LN..should they contact the author or the publishers..or both..? and who decides in which channel they will air the anime..?


They don't have much say in the decision unless they go to the author himself like what Studio 4C did when they wanted to adapt Berserk they sent him a pilot and he pushed for them to animate it. In most cases what gets animated by who is bushed by a committee whuch selects the studio with an open slot which is largely not always in their interest but rather the distributors.

Overlord probably will sell 2k more. It has only been 3 days.

But Gakkougurashi and Gangsta sales are abysmal. I thought fujoshis will opt to buy the later.

Charlotte also has not sold enough considering the production value and being a Jun Maeda work.Angel Beats sold like 5x more.

Seems like it will be a slow season in terms of sale.
Now praying for Prison School to sell atleast decent enough for a second season.

It certainly must exist some kind of advantage for the production committee, an advantage that isn't in BDs sales! Toei is an highly rich company and they also don't sell that much DVD/BDs.

I'm interested in knowing if their is some kind of goods points in working for an animation studio that belongs to the TV channel.

In terms of the money earned by TV, if we go by Toei animation, in average an anime running year long earns around 512,000,000 yens(4,274,688 dollars) just by being aired in TV.

I knew Overlord was overestimated but I expected it to sell 5k in wk1 atleast.
Although we'll see if this is just a mess created by oricon.

are those numbers just from ad revenue on the time slot?
Imagine a berserk anime by Yoshiaki kawajiri at Madhouse.

Now take a look at Berserk (2016).

Well, but it pisses me off. Gakkou Gurashi is probably one of the most-liked in Japan this season and got A LOT of love (along with Himouto! Umaru-chan and Charlotte), so I don't seriously don't get why it didn't sell well. I wasn't expecting big numbers but...

Charlotte actually selling then again its Key so its to be expected.

lol @ Overlord

Since when did Kuroko no Basket tank? I know the third season was bad, but wow what happened to the fujoshis?

No Arslan second season with those sales it was a good show, but I'm guessing they're not adapting any more of the novels.

Power of brand recognition. Not so much Charlotte itself, but the people behind it. If your brand is good enough people will still buy even your crappiest stuff. For a while anyways.

As much as I hate Charlotte, the art and animation is so superb that the sales are really justified not like in Overlord where the way they adapted this series and the animation were horrendous for an action show, but still has more sales than most of the deserving shows.

Happy for Overlord if that's true.Heard the Japanese where quite surprised with the initial numbers too,this seems closer to the estimated ones,except Charlotte.

From 4chan.

BD/DVD
8,935 Kurobas 3 v6 (Oricon: 6,677)
>8,427 Overlord v1 (Oricon: 4,724)
6,612 The iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls v5 (Oricon: 4,771)
4,335 KimiUso v8 (Oricon:
>4,219 To Love-Ru Darkness 2 v1 (Oricon: 2,814)
3,664 Kiniro Mosaic 2 v4 (Oricon: 2,802)
3,457 Geass R2 Box (Oricon: 2,239)
>3,353 Charlotte v1 (Oricon: 7,406)
3,122 V Gundam Box v2 (Oricon: 2,392)
>2,174 Prisma Illya 2wei Herz v1 (Oricon: 2,814)
>2,132 Gakkou Gurashi v1 (Oricon: 1,653)
1,663 Arslan Senki v3 (Oricon: 1,681)
1,640 Yuki-chan v4 (Oricon: 1,482)

http://boards.4chan.org/a/thread/131571067/soundscan-sales-report

Overlord v1 sells 4043/681, total 4,724 7368/1059, total 8,427. 52/63% 13/43% overestimated. [Per Soundscan – This brings it much more in line with the estimates. The BD in particular goes from “WTF??” to “yeah that’s close, we expected some overestimation’. Maybe this will still hold #2? Depends entirely on whether Oricon gets the act together for next week!]

If this is true, then Overlord sold 8k which is awesome.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

To Love-Ru Darkness 2: 4,200 is that good? If i remember correctly it's better than previous seasons, isn't it?

but where is Shimoneta ? i kinda expected low numbers from an anime that was broadcasted in the middle of the night, but nothing?

Are Oricon reports generally higher or lower than Soundscan? I'd thought they would be higher since it has a bigger sample size.


Usually Oricon is 10% (average) lower than Soundscan.

Person A: Why does this garbage sell so much?

Persona B: (Looks at numbers) are you shitting me how can this sell so good it's garbage and people buying and liking it are dumb.

Persona C: Why does this series (the one he likes) sell so few copies and the other (the one he tells everyone is garbage) sells more.

Man and I'm just here wishing that all series sell decently and don't really wish any series doom or something like that.

They won't Oricon doesn't go back to fix their mistakes since G-Reco is still listed as selling 3.4k when it really sold over 10k for its first volume despite the fact that all the volumes that came after it is listed as selling more than it. For the time being we'll just have to use Soundscan for v1 numbers and went until v2 to see if Oricon fixed their mistake.
