Hm, I didn't check GC in the last few weeks before it released, but when I checked yesterday, Stalker was fairly close. Underestimated less than a thousand each, I think it was, on BD and DVD. I certainly thought Stalker had a lot less, hence why I thought it'd be about 6-7k, but figured maybe it got a lot of ppints in the end while I wasn't looking.


It was on pace for a lot lower, but it ended up being in the top 40-50 every day the last two weeks after episode 12 (which had a major plot twist). It just needed something to make people care about it to help its sales.

So Stalker did adjust again? I know they adjusted for the Bake and Toradora sets, which threw me at first because I remembered Stalker being way lower than what they really put up, then when I went to check it was almost exact. If they adjusted, do you happen to remember where it was pre-adjustment?


As far as I know (since I check it every day), its the same. They have a more accurate point tally now so its sales will likely be within 15-20% of the points.

The autumn rankings suck :/

Persona 4 is okay, but Horizon?

Last Exile should also be higher.

Not to speak of Chihayafuru, Mirai Nikki and Kimi to Boku. Their sales make me sad.

Phi Brain deserves to be out of the rankings, but seeing Un-Go and Hunter x Hunter doing so bad is frustrating. Especially with HxH, I hope the sales get better otherwise I fear they might not ger further with the adaption of the manga this time.



It's good to see Tiger & Bunny do so well though, at least some good shows are appreciated.
I probably regret this post by now.

Mashiroiro Symphony might end up close to 3k once you count the DVDs, so it actually did a bit better than expected. It'll end up one of the better selling Manglobe series (not that it means much since their series always flop).

It's a shame that Mawaru Penguindrum isn't selling that well.


Isn't selling well?? It sold ~5000 BluRays which I think is pretty good for an Arthouse sort of anime

Hopefully working will have a 3rd season...

Persona 4 having a high number of sales is great. I just hope they consider animating Pesona 3 FES too.

5,000 for a two cour show with fairly high production values isn't necessarily great these days. They may or may not break even - it's hard to know. "Arthouse" doesn't really have anything to do with it. "Indie movie" economics doesn't really apply to most broadcast TV anime. It needed to make that money no differently from any other show.


I wouldn't say Penguindrum had fairly high production values though. It looked pretty due to nice art direction but there were definitely cost saving methods used in terms of actual animation.
