Yes, you heard that right. It sold 99K in its first week.

Q: Is it that popular?
Yes. Ever since the gacha game for UMA released in February, it exploded like nothing else before. Its popularity is immense in Japan outselling everything on the market since February.

Q: How did the 1st volume compare?
It didn’t sell as much. Pretty sure its first week was around 30k, then it rose to 70k. It’s to show that UMA’s popularity grew even further.

Q: Is this information important?
It is for those who are interested in numbers.

Q: Will there be a third season?
Not confirmed and no announcements yet, but you don’t even have to worry about it. It’s a given at this point.

The record in one week you say right? i remmember the first vol of love live s2 selling 110~120k before going out of the ranks, but well if uma musume sold 100k in one week then is almost certain that will pass this too.
But i hope that this sells don't drop absurdly in the next vols.

It’s not official yet. 99k is an amazing number of sales but it’s better to wait for the official announcement. Also, cygames marketing strategy worked great once again lol. Including game codes in the bd volumes? Truly a genius idea

about a sequel https://twitter.com/ranobesugoi/status/1397582706939109378?s=21 so yeah, it most likely will have a 3rd season

Thank you, I edited my post. I remember it selling very high, but surely not higher than 100k in its 1st week.

Holy cow. I guess it’s safe to assume it surpassed Love Live at this point?

This is far from the final number. It went out of stock in many stores, including amazon jp, on the FIRST DAY. Many still waiting for refill. The sale could reach 150k+ next week.

Probably due to the huge promotion that franchise has received, especially on the Vtuber side, you literally have to watch indies to escape it.

It just broke an old record set by Neon Genesis Evangelion in the second week.

"The Blu-ray Vol.1 of TV anime "Uma Musume: Season 2" sold more 55,123 copies in 2nd week making a total of 167,153.

The number breaking all-time record for cumulative sales of TV anime single disc which previously belonged to Neon Genesis Evangelion Vol.10 (131,166)."

Yo what the hell. That’s way too much, even for a BD with a gacha code included. This is so shocking lmao

Worth noting despite earning massive revenues, Uma Musume is unlikely improving Studio KAI's financial problems since they're not a member of Season 2 Production Commitee.

The studio closed last year with considerable losses of 165 million yen.
