VulgarLife said: Nice to see Flying Witch sales remain consistent at least, Days sold a bit more than I thought it would.
A shame it's low sales for the first volume of Kuromukuro but hopefully it's done well enough for Netflix that they could fund a sequel of sorts, wasn't happy with the fairly open ending as it left many things to be resolved.
Agreed on the Flying Witch sales though they may be too low for a sequel, given that the manga sales are also fairly low (volume 4 did rank but only 28K).
Now, Netflix doesn't care AT ALL about disc sales, they care about Netflix views. So if you want to see more Kuromukuro then subscribe to Netflix and watch both seasons, maybe even a few times. If everyone watched it elsewhere then Netflix doesn't know there is interest, doesn't see any views and will almost certainly NOT offer to fund a second season. Legal streaming is a BIG part of a show's income now, probably more than disc sales; this includes foreign streaming, in fact it may be higher for foreign streaming, especially in China. So if you want your show to continue, then support it with legal streaming at least (and buy discs and merch if you like too).
I heard that Netflix rate the series by the number of hours that it was watched.
Would be good if we had more data about how well an anime is watched on those streaming sites.
Yes, hours/minutes. Crunchyroll has admitted to doing the same so it isn't enough to just start all the episodes, you have to actually watch them start to end to give them the most money. Skipping the OP and ED actually costs them money! No lie... funny business. Would be great if they gave out that info but I'm sure that's considered a business secret.

Agreed, good to see Yuri on Ice, Drifters, and Gundam up there. Wish 3-gatsu was higher though.
Same here, I agree about 3-gatsu but atleast the manga has a crazy sales, one of the reason for not caring about the anime sales.

I understand it is in somewhat the same situation as Dennou Coil and Log Horizon -- big NHK $$$ behind it, so they are much less worried about the otaku market.
Aniplex would certainly like it to sell more discs but the NHK couldn't care less. Hopefully everyone involved is paying all their taxes...
phoenixalia said: LOL at that guy complaining about female oriented shows as usual. You're beyond pathetic at this point. Look. Sometimes female oriented shows don't sell well, sometimes male oriented sales don't sell well. Is that so hard to understand?
About TouRabu, I'm an anime only watcher so I can't say if they've changed things in the anime. It trends on twitter every time a new episode comes out in Japan. It's kind of hard to guess how much it'll sell at this point because Animate, Gamers plus DMM. Considering how much the stage play sold, I was expecting some more Amazon sales to be honest. Maybe fans are waiting for the Ufotable version?
Ouch below 500 copies? That's ridiculously low for this kind of anime even Diabolik Lovers season 2 sold better then Kiss him, not me. Is there by any chance a special event or something that will boost the sales? Oh and how did changing the cast from the Drama Cd affect the sales? The anime itself is hilarious and quite likable even males are actually enjoying it a lot so I still don't understand why the sales are low.
The audience for Diabolik Lovers and WatashiMote are different. The former is an otome anime while the latter is a shoujo manga to anime adaptation which usually flop on their faces when made into anime (at least in recent years).
As a big fan of the manga who also bought both the limited edition drama CDs, I was extremely disappointed when they changed the cast for the anime. I don't dislike the new seiyuu but the drama CD cast fit the characters much more. HanaKana did a much better job as Kae, imo.
Another thing is they're sort of rushing the anime by adapting two-three chapters per episode. An anime only fan won't really notice much but as a manga fan when those little things that make the chapter special are left out, it leaves a bad feeling. That and the budget for the anime seems meh too.
I still like the WatashiMote anime, but no way as much as the manga. I'm guessing here, but Japanese fans may be the same. They watch it every week but they don't find it special enough to want to buy it and own it.
EXTREMELY sorry for this wall of post.
It's honestly a waste of time trying to explain it to the idiot who wrote gay boring anime is selling high, he's just just butthurt that Keijio is selling below average. Just let him be if he feels happy letting all his anger out by throwing shit on female oriented shows then fine, does he gain anything? Not really lol
Anyways you know I've never bought a Cd drama so I'm a bit lost in that department but if the studio that made the anime made the mistake of changing the cast then of course I would understand why the anime would be selling a bit less then others but 500 copies is ridiculous. I'm pretty bummed that even if the series did a lot of changes its selling terrible here I thought we would get a sequel just like Utapri and Hakouki did but guess I was wrong D: Wow I can't believe they changed Kae's seiyuu I absolutely love HanaKana she in my opinion fit Kae perfectly what were they thinking when they changed her /:
Same goes for the manga, been so behind with it but I keep hearing from people who've read it that the anime is a bit better? Hmmm I would definitely be upset if I knew as a manga reader that they were rushing the anime but I don't believe it's all bad the comedy is what I think saves the anime. I don't really mind animation never had a problem with that I'm all for new and old animation ^^
You know what I just realize this is the second reverse harem adapted from a manga, first it was Ouran Highschool host club right? Sorry for being so random but I would've prefered if either Barajou no kiss or S•L•K were adpated they deserve it more D: Anyways I can totally understand why Japan viewers who follow the manga wouldn't want to buy the discs but I still can't help to love the anime and hope for it to sell a bit more in the future.
Now I'm curious WHY ISN'T THE GOD OF ALL REVERSE HAREMS, UTA NO PRI SAMA ON THE EARLY ESTIMATES?
@hpulley Alrighty thanks for the info you've been very helpful my friend, even if the sales are terrible for now I won't lost hope that it will somehow manage to sell around 3k after its done airing !!
Girls, don't get so worked up over that guy, or waste your time on him. I understand it can get really infuriating to have to deal with people like him, but I just assume he's homophobic, like many other guys on MAL seem to be. I don't watch anime series that appeal to females, because they don't appeal to me, but I don't get angry over anime aimed at females selling well. I think it's a good thing, that there's more anime out there that appeals to females, but I think it is too extreme what marx-chan was suggesting. Yes, there needs to be more of a balance so that female fans can also enjoy the seasonal anime, but to oppress male fans just because of one rotten egg is not the way to go.
As for the question from @-Janet, UtaPri Season 4 is not solicited on Amazon JP, so there's no estimate available from Amazon Stalker. Although, even if it gets solicited on Amazon JP, it'll most likely be underestimated anyway due to strong performance at Animate.
I do apologize for my words your absolutely right about that but I can't help to hate his guts whenever I see him on any forums. It's either him whining like a little bitch about how female oriented anime is taking over the industry or insulting yaoi stuff it's pissing me off very much like wtf no female on here bitches about how much harem is made every season. Is he that stupid that he hasn't realize how much LN harem Novels are adapted into anime? :/ HE NEEDS TO LEARN TO SHUT HIS MOUTH AND RESPECT ANIME THAT'S TARGETED FOR US FEMALES. Anyways again I apologize I know not every guy on here is like him D:
Ahh and thanks for answering my question regarding Utapri, hoping it's able to save this fall season, I thought either Watashi or Macross Delta would save this year but I underestimated both sadly, still have a little hope either sell more as time goes.
@Hpulley You know what I don't understand Shojo anime use to sell fantastic back in the early 2000's through 2010 but for some weird reason it started going downhill. As of today I'm still wondering what happen to shojo anime that had over 26-50 episodes?
The Yowamushi Pedal Movie at ¥460,000,000 was displaced from the Top 20.
Note: Kimi no Na wa. and Koe no Katachi are not on here, since they're not based on Late-night/midnight TV Anime, but are original Anime Movies (as in not adapted from any source material).

26 episodes, a.k.a, 2 cours anime in general come less and less. About shojo series around 50 and even more episodes, most of the companies that were doing them stopped those doing or only focused in 1 timeslot for them and have a super popular Shoujo anime long-running. Example: Precure, Pripara and Aikatsu. They are all Shoujo series.
