So I'm looking at the list now and I'm seeing a lot of great new anime that are selling really well this year. SSSS. Gridman, Bunny Girl Senpai, ZLS, and Strike the Blood are making a big profit from their first volume already and are bound to do well with the rest.
This also does prove that BD sales aren't dying, as this BD sales news is showing that they're still very relevant in Japan. I was wondering if this was the case, since a lot of people were trying to argue the reason for DxD Hero's sales being so low was because of streaming services. However, these new anime releases are making so much money and selling so many copies that it busts that theory. Japan just weren't that into the new season and their changes.
Maybe that' why season 5 is now on hiatus/postponement again (since the author is either looking for a new studio (Implying he left) to fix the problems that Passione had or to make the series look like it used to |
