No wonder KonoSuba is getting a S2 just like that XD.   |
Kumo desu ga, Nani ka? is selling well!!!! ANIME WHEN |
> *5. **9,528 **9,528 Kumo desu ga, Nani ka? Vol.2 OH YES. And volume 2 came out not so long ago. Glad to see this getting attention. Hmm, I was kinda expecting Kamachi's new work to break 10k but we'll see soon.  |
Eromanga got boost after anime announcement I guess. And that konosuba sales explain everything. |
I see Onii sama pushing the limits on sales as well.  |
look at that. konosuba fill the place XD XD XD i hope the second season will be a 2 cour XD  |
Fab top three that. Mahouka back at the top is no surprise, hope Ero-manga sensei gets a good boost from the anime this year but selling well regardless. Still hoping Yen Press license the GGO spin-off LN, makes so much sense. Not much more to say about the KonoSuba boost, just incredible and can see why, anime has been pitch perfect. |
Fu**!! Even at these sales doesn't get Mahouka the cursed 2nd season? - Man, on what waits still Madhouse - On 1 million copies/month maybe...>_>?!  |

It all falls onto the publisher not onto Madhouse. If the publisher thinks a second season won't give enough return(in Ln boost or BDsales) they obviously won't bother with it |

Madhouse isn't even on the Mahouka production committee, so they have no say on whether it gets a 2nd season, movie, etc. It is likely Madhouse was paid ahead of time to animate the TV Anime, so they would've had little to no share in the various revenue streams for Mahouka. This is fairly common in the industry for some animation studios to be subcontracted to animate various TV Anime, and obviously the production committee has again asked Madhouse to animate the movie this time. 魔法科高校製作委員会 アニプレックス、KADOKAWA アスキー・メディアワークスBC、スクウェア・エニックス、ムービック It is important to look at who is actually on the production committee for a certain anime, because if some TV Anime that were animated by Madhouse, are not getting sequels, then there's no point in crucifying them if they are not even on the production committee in the first place.

KonoSuba is still going steady! No wonder Kadokawa, Nippon Colombia, and those guys who fund DEEN decided to make a second season! Please tell me some random company already licensed it to English.  |

You cant blame them for that, because not all the titles they have been made has a good DVD , Blu ray seals. But now Overlord And Mahouka both did well but they still not getting a S2 !!!!

Dem Mahouka sales doe, which they only accumulated in three days so basically have a week , read the spoilers for the volume and it seemed pretty good. Can't wait for the SS volume coming out in May. KonoSuba really racking up that anime boost, I wanna really try reading the LN now. Modified by -Mahesvara, Mar 16, 2016 7:17 PM My Queens  |
Lmao, Mahouka completely blows away the second spot. Love it. Happy to see Kono Suba in the top as well. ~||Sky of the Night Light||~  |
I can see how Konosuba got a second season. Well deserved!  |
Sasuga Onii-sama, right on top, the first place in ranking! Finally Eromanga Sensei's sale went up. Good to see this series selling well too! 「友達なんていない。人はすぐに裏切るし、学校っていうのは誰かを標的にしないとやってられない馬鹿共の集 まり。ままごとみたいな役決めて、仲のいいふりして都合が悪くなったら知らんぷり。そんな奴らと仲良くした いとか全然思わない。」 |

"selling well after an anime" logically means that the anime boost is still strong, and that therefore doing a whole second season has very little interest for the publisher as long as the sales don't go down significantly.

And yet KonoSuba is getting season 2 that was programmed from the start as a two cours separated in time. It's a similar case as many other titles. That's because it's far safer (and cost less)to do it that way than having a two cours season right away. When you see a series announcing its sequel right with the last episode, that "sequel" was already planned right from the start. It's less of a season 2 than the second half of the first season. |

And yet KonoSuba is getting season 2 I'm not sure I subscribe to the "selling well post-anime means it is less likely to get another season" theory - although it certainly doesn't mean that it will get one. But it's worth pointing out that KonoSuba's sales as reported in this week's thread (and next week's for that matter) are not post-anime.

Not really. Even the VAs were shocked when they heard the announcement so it wasn't already planned. It wasnt planned...you can tell just by the episode count at only 10 and the low budget animation as well as no actual release date at the end of the s2 announcement. Most split cours show have an episode count of around 12 to 13 episodes and already esyablished release date with a fixed time slot for it to air. The Thing is that it has already been mentioned that the sheer amount of reception for the series has been way above for-cased projections that the producers decided to cash in on the heightened demand for it. The LN boost has skyrocket with huge amount selling every week ( you can tell from the above list). Not to mention the overall reception from it from both its japanese and outside fanbase are large and the pre-order sales for it are high..actually the highest for a non-sequal/franchise title of the entire winter...so of coursethey took it in as a sign to make more anime. Especially since DEEN itself has been struggling to sell any decent title these last few years..so it is not surprising..and no whatever you are going to say it wasn't planned as split cour..i know cause i already heard from reliable sources in japan that it was not. Fantastic news non-the less and very glad the LN and Anime are selling well..i hope it keeps up. |

No real reason for them to know anything before it's officially announced. I still disagree.

For some reason it seems KonoSuba's production committee said yes to S2 while Mahouka's just said yes to a movie (so far, anyway). Go figure... |
Zefyris said: If you knew how Kadokawa works and followed KonoSuba performance you would know S2 wasn't planned. KonoSuba was handled differently than usual split cours. OVA is planned for June and S2 will come out in Fall at earliest, more likely later. That's not a split cour. Split cour is when S2 is already being made before S1 finishes airing and there's just one cour of break between them.that was programmed from the start as a two cours separated in time. Official confirmation hpulley linked ultimately proves that but it should have been obvious anyway. |
Kono Subarashi with crazy boost. This kind of make me want to watch the anime, but I'll probably end up disappointed since japanese people have weird taste |
