| Top wo Nerae Blu Ray Box? I wonder if the version I'm watching is even Blu Ray... I think it is. |
| tfw no gf tfw i keep getting the banhammer on here tfw Koleare keeps banning me every other day tfw I'm misunderstood by le mod |
| Ro-Kyu-bu?? Really?? I know people like loli's but WOW. |
| Hmm it seems like everything related to the Kami Nomi franchise and the Hayate no Gotoku franchise is doing mediocre in sales. This worries me. |
 |
| Cool, Gintama's on the list. |
| i need to watch some of the movies |
| Shana III addad in sales a bit. Still hope that Sora no Otoshimono movie would be subbed sometime soon. |
 |
| Oh Elevens and their terrible taste. |
 |
| still don't understand the fascination people have in vocaloids....maybe i'm just getting to be an old codger - i still would rather hear humans singing, or even whales...... |
 |
| Good to see Gintama up here 8) Hope it continues selling well! Exkalamity said: Hmm it seems like everything related to the Kami Nomi franchise and the Hayate no Gotoku franchise is doing mediocre in sales. This worries me. I'm really worried about the Kami Nomi franchise too. Hoping for a third season, and it was hinted, but the sales are a bit low.. |

| Thre is some inconsistency with the Album sales of Hatsune Miku "Vocalodream". Last week it has 47,174 total sales, this week it added +2,240 but total sales is only 20,839? Not sure with the other releases. |
 |
| manglobe fail to deliver I guess, well it's still 4000k and above manabi line but for HNG and Movie as well? Shana didn't do quite well as well maybe people just get tired of the franchise OR JC Staff |
| Uta Pri!! <3 |

Exkalamity said: Hmm it seems like everything related to the Kami Nomi franchise and the Hayate no Gotoku franchise is doing mediocre in sales. This worries me. If there is any consolation, the CD you see listed here came out March 3rd and this ranking stopped counting at March 4th, 3k sales in its first day is not too bad imo. We'll see if it shows up again next week. |
| Nothing interesting. Maybe FMA with the movie and the album thth the best of the P and ED. |

This ain't even funny, not anymore. I know, I shouldn't be surprised by the Japanese taste, but it's still terrible. And yay for Gintama. |

| I demand Second Season Epicness in Ro-Kyu-Bu, the novel sells, the anime sells. What's the hold up? announce a S2. |
 |
| No One Piece ? |
| Hotarubi <3 |
 |
| Gintama :D |

Gikari said: So you think your taste is better than the others? I didn't say that, did I? There mere fact that random ecchis and harems are selling better than normal animes is terrible. That's what I meant. I don't think I need to add IMO at the end of every post in order to mean it as my own opinion, because undoubtedly, it is. It's internets, you know. Just wait until you see how much Highschool DxD and Nisemonogatari sell. |

Shana didn't do quite well as well maybe people just get tired of the franchise OR JC Staff The problem with Shana is that they waited way too long since the last season. At this point, many people have lost interest. Same thing with Zero no Tsukaima, which also flopped in sales. |

| More lolis with basketballs, please. The demand is there, so make more, dammit. Also, I'm kinda expecting Nisemonogatari to break the record SHAFT holds with Madoka Magica. Given that its ED single is already selling like hotcakes, I'm sure the actual show will too.

Well, it was either wait for the authors to work on the final chapters, or end the franchises with anime-original endings. I'm pretty sure the LN readers would be quite pissed if they had done the latter, meaning that only the anime-only viewers might end up enjoying them the most. So, I think sales wouldn't have been much different either way. |

| i guess the HNG sales are low because the movie was sold with the manga volume! |

I don't think I need to add IMO at the end of every post in order to mean it as my own opinion, because undoubtedly, it is. It's internets, you know. Well you might not saying the actual words yourself but you just called them random shows while thinking your favourite show is normal. And to put more fire, How is that someone doing great with their business making someone else feel terrible? I just don't get it. Is selling more of these RANDOM shows making NORMAL shows selling less? |

dczzz said: Ro-Kyu-bu?? Really?? I know people like loli's but WOW. Yup, if Ro-Kyu-bu surprised you, how about sekei ichi hatsukoi? that surprised me even more. |
JakeeDylan said: Nakama's sales aren't that great D: Just ordered that single last week, Good Coming made a nice debut. Looks like anime sales this week aren't that great, huh. They'll be big next week with Fate/Zero out. I'm expecting 40-50k for that one. |
|
| > Manglobe will probably be happy with the results of Japan + US orders. You mean ufotable? Cause I don't see how Manglobe could be related to Fate/Zero or "big sales" BTW. Does anyone knows Zero no Tsukaima F sales? Vol. 1 already came but doesn't ranked so I just curious about number... |
| |
| Glad to see S-Cry-Ed on there. |
 |
| Hopefully Papakiki ranks ok next week. |

Hoppy said: Hopefully Papakiki ranks ok next week. it should hit around 2000-2300 sales (BD+DVD) can't say it's a good sales but you can say "decent" VioLink said: Just wait until you see how much Highschool DxD and Nisemonogatari sell. Nise sells like a hotcakes (probably show with the best sales this year pawning fate zero and P4) DXD will probably pass through 5k barrier I think, but still below ano natsu |
dczzz said: Ro-Kyu-bu?? Really?? I know people like loli's but WOW. Lol if Ro-Kyu-bu surprised you, then scroll down a bit and take a look at sekai ichi. i'm mentally and morally shocked. |
| >Ro-Kyu-Bu on the list >chihayafuru not on the list oh japan |
 |
| Ro-Kyu-Bu is first? Oh dear. |
Parkur said: >Ro-Kyu-Bu on the list >chihayafuru not on the list oh japan Loli anime sells however Josei anime doesn't sell because most of the buying fanbase are male, josei maga does sell same with LNs. |
|
| BZW how are pre-orders for AnoNatsu? It was quite large(not so large as NMG of cause but better than most of the Winter shows). |

Nachtwandler_21 said: BZW how are pre-orders for AnoNatsu? It was quite large(not so large as NMG of cause but better than most of the Winter shows). 7000 and keep increasing I'm betting at 8000-8500 (BD+DVD) when it's released 2 weeks from now Shame, I actually want it to be fail so JC Staff will reconsider to start new as a studio |
| Stop to blame J.C. Staff. They are not the worst studdio there. Yes, they air a lot of medicore shows but still. At least they are true to their hits. I really like Shana III and some other shows are not bad either |

jmal said: Parkur said: >Ro-Kyu-Bu on the list >chihayafuru not on the list oh japan Chihayafuru sells like 300k a volume manga, I really don't think BD sales are that big a deal for it. You have to take audience into consideration. Not every franchise is intended to make its money the same way. Roukyuubu sells more DVDs than Naruto Shippuden. But really, which do you think is bigger? Different audiences, different markets. Sales data is useful, but just throwing two numbers against each other without any attention paid towards context just confuses things. Lol true, people seem to forget that the largest audience is Seinen (Or probably shounen?) and the markets are not the same. Hoppy said: Loli anime sells however Josei anime doesn't sell because most of the buying fanbase are male, josei maga does sell same with LNs. Loli and the "moe" stuff sells very high in japan. did you know that Eroge buisness makes more money than idol buisness? Yup. |

Well in all honesty, i was surprised my self. not by Ro-kyu-bu only, but half of the listed series. though in RKB's case, when you think about it, it does make sense, i mean let's face it, an anime with Lolis+Harem elements = instant win and epic marketing, you know the otaku culture lol P.S and why the hell is Shakugan no shana not first? it deserves the spot man, not to mention how successful it was and how big its fanbase is, probably bigger than most of those listed shows. |

jmal said: bakayarokonoyaro said: Lol if Ro-Kyu-bu surprised you, then scroll down a bit and take a look at sekai ichi. i'm mentally and morally shocked. Eh? Why? The second season has only averaged 4,199 so far. Decent enough I guess, it's likely breaking even, but that's nothing super impressive and certainly not high sales. It's... just kinda middling. Well if you consider how limited the audience is and the genre, of course anyone would be shocked. but well, it's weekly lol so it's not big deal after all. |

Shows like RKB can do well, but more often than not ecchi/harem/shounen lightnovel-type stuff sells "okay" or worse. The ones that do around RKB's level or higher just end up getting all the attention. P.S and why the hell is Shakugan no shana not first? it deserves the spot man, not to mention how successful it was and how big its fanbase is, probably bigger than most of those listed shows. It may have had a big fanbase, but they all seem to have moved on somewhere in 2009-2010 based on the sales drop of Shana S. I'm importing it but I'm only one person... at least it didn't collapse as badly in sales as ZnT. articuzwolf said: I'm not saying the show is bad... Just don't like their (JC Staff) policy lately Not sure what you mean by "their policy". Could you please explain what did you mean by "but more often than not ecchi/harem/shounen lightnovel-type stuff sells "okay" or worse. The ones that do around RKB's level or higher just end up getting all the attention"? Sorry i didn't get that part. And yup, i agree with you on Shana ;p |

The ones that do around RKB's level or higher just end up getting all the attention"? Sorry i didn't get that part. All I'm getting at is that fanservice (or ecchi or harem or loli or whatever term we're focused on at the moment) does not guarantee good sales by itself. It's something people say a lot ("of course it's selling, it has fanservice" and such things) but there are many shows that rely on fanservice, and many of them sell a lot less than RKB has. Obviously this discussion depends a lot on how you define fanservice, or how much of it constitutes "a fanservice show" and stuff. It's a broad topic, and fanservice is usually just one element of a show, not the whole show. Well yes, if an anime's sole focus is fanservice/ecchi then obviously there is no guarantee that it'll sell well, but other animes that have background fanservice (Strike witches, K-on, etc) sell pretty well, i mean c'mon, if it's all about the H then there's dozens of Eroge/VN's to satisfy your needs lol anyways, i agree with you. jmal said: bakayarokonoyaro said: Well if you consider how limited the audience is and the genre, of course anyone would be shocked. ? Fujoshi stuff routinely sells better than Sekai-ichi is selling. There's not a lot of such shows, but what ones do come out get supported pretty well for the most part. Oh, that's true, but it doesn't change the fact that the audience is still small. There isn't as much fujoshi material, but when something shows up, the fujoshis invade the markets lol. though it depends on what you mean by "Fujoshi stuff", as you know, some people use the term Fujoshi to describe female otakus in general (which many consider offensive), but if by fujoshi stuff you mean Shoujo/Josei with good looking males then i guess you might be right, UtaPri is just a typical shoujo reverse harem and half of the viewers are fujoshi, heck, Hitman reborn is a regular shounen but it attracted fujoshis and female otakus due to the large male cast and i bet half the sales were by fujoshis. so yeah. |
