| Rinne No Lagrange has 3000+ sales nice to see that, waiting for season 2 |
| Nichibros season 2 please. |
 |
| glad to see natsume yuujichou doing well... |
| *2, 10,547 Highschool DxD I just...I mean...why? Like, there wasn't even the excuse of wanting to see the uncensored titties as they were uncensored on TV as well. |

| Ugh...Why Gintama?? Well besides that I'm always happy to see that Hayao Miyazaki movies are doing so well. |

| I'm fascinated how in each season I watch and enjoy 50-80% of the series, but the first ranks in sales are always taken by crappy shows I wouldn't even touch or dropped. Maybe someday I will be able to widen my range to crappy fanservice too. (Okay, to be fair Inu X Boku wasn't that bad, but the master-slave relationship is never enjoyable for me and I count it as fanservice). Well, at least Natsume and Ano Natsu also did well, so that counts for something. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

| Hope for more sales of NichiBros but I could understand why they get only so much. Glad that Amagami S2 sales are on par with S1. I was sure it would be quite lower. |

(Okay, to be fair Inu X Boku wasn't that bad, but the master-slave relationship is never enjoyable for me and I count it as fanservice). If you could watch Inu x Boku SS and not see that Ririchiyo and Soushi were ultimately truly equals in every way, I don't know what to tell you. Unless you dropped it way early on, but even then the power dynamic was so clearly not typical master/slave at all (you really think Ririchiyo had total control of that relationship? Hah.) Anyway awesome that Inu Boku ranks again (thanks to very low thresholds), and finally we see another week for Fate. Sure hasn't added much since week two, but supply seems to be quite low. Are you stalking my posts? ^^. Each week it's the same :P. But yes, I dropped it after episode 2 because at that point it was the least interesting from all the ongoing series I was watching (which were and are quite many). It's not so much her being in control than him being overly submissive that I found annoying (always find submission annoying). That seemed to be a major theme of the series too. Plus I just had expected an entirely different kind of show from the information I had before it aired (synposis etc..) and would probably not have it started in the first place if I knew, it's just not my cup of tea. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| very weak sales compared to the last few weeks |

Happy for PapaKiki even if I didn't find it that good. I hoped for Nichijou to get more sales (maybe around 5k?) but at least it isn't doing THAT bad neither...>: Oh Milky Holmes, it doesn't matter what people say, please keep selling LOL Poor Another, japanese people didn't like it as much I did, too bad >: (well I din't like the last episode, but it had a good start!) And Kill me Baby...it deserves those shitty sales in my opinion. |
| One piece top as always ! |

People say 'fanservice sells' yet Nisemonogatari is nowhere to be seen (unless I'm missing something), and it has the greatest fanservice ever. Also Nichibros is far too low on the list, and Inu x Boku SS was appalling (don't get me started on DxD). I accepted that Japanese otaku have the worst tastes in the world a long time ago, but sometimes it needs to be repeated. |
AlexSadist-sama said: I would've expected Gintama to be a little higher on the list. Wasn't Gintama Vol 9 released a while ago? It did really well, of course it'd drop after a while, especially with new releases of other series.... at least it's still on the list. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| daily lives of highschool boys is doing OK, hope theres a second season. I dropped High school DxD, does it get better after episode 3?? Wondering as the sales for it quite high... and i really need to catch up with Inu x Boku, don't know why i haven't carried on watching.. |

Higashi_no_Kaze said: Are you kidding? There's all SORTS of fanservice going on in Inu x Boku. It offers shit to appeal to lolicons, yuri lovers, yaoi lovers, bishie fanatics, and of course the usual garbage, like the watermelon tits.Maybe someday I will be able to widen my range to crappy fanservice too. (Okay, to be fair Inu X Boku wasn't that bad, but the master-slave relationship is never enjoyable for me and I count it as fanservice). Anyways, I wonder what's up with the non-Totoro movies up there on the list...? |

| @jmal: As I said Soushi being voluntarily submissive annoyed me even more than if it was a "real" master slave relationship. Also about the monogatari series, I really like it, but the fanservice/incest hints can be quite annoying (though I don't mind nearly as much as in pure ecchi series) and I doubt it would sell as well without it. It's just rare that a show full of fanservice also has very interesting characters and good dialogue. It makes it easy to look past the fanservice. Plus I don't think my definition of fanservice is very hard to comprehend. Hinting at erotic stuff with no intention of actually making it a serious topic of the series (like it was in Nana for example). Basically very unrealistic character behavior whose only intent is to let the viewer think of something erotic. Oversized Boobs, Panty shots, unnecessary shower or bathing scenes, generic peeping jokes, unrealistic "accidents" where the MC falls on some pair of pumpkin-sized boobs and every kind of harem, just to name the tip of the iceberg. Nisemonogatari is at least creative with the fanservice (the teeth brushing scenes for example) and the characters are all rather weird in the first place, so I wouldn't even consider it real fanservice. I wouldn't say that every loli-ish character is fanservice or every bishounen, it all depends on their role in the series and how they behave and are portrayed. But it's definitely true not only fanservice sells, but it sells best in most cases. That's why I'm delighted that a series like Natsume Yuujinchou sells so well (still not as well as ecchi/fanservice-ish series though). There's no denying that, just look at the current season. Top Dogs so far are Kore wa Zombie and Sankarea. Still you don't always have to fret over posts like "Japanese Otaku have crap taste". Different taste from mine IS crap taste for me (why would I consider something good taste that I hate? Even I have more confidence than that). It's up to you if you take it personal or interpret is as a "different" opinion. and @DraconisMarch: If you read my post correctly I was referring to the season sales, not the overall ones. One Piece is absolutely deserving and I have more problems understanding why the western fans seem to prefer Bleach and Naruto over it. |

| @Higashi You're gonna hate the sales in Spring if the early preorder numbers are any indication of the overall numbers. 1. Accel World 2. Haiyoru! Nyaruko-san 3. Medaka Box 4. Saki A-Side 5. Is This a Zombie? Of the Dead Those are the early rankings... and I remember you going off on another topic about how Nyaruko-san ruined Lovecraft. This is just how Japanese anime fans are! |

This is just how Japanese anime fans are! Actually relieved to see at least Accel World on 1 and not one of the others. Medaka Box I will check out too, and Saki doesn't seem half bad (at least it has a theme besides being moe, plus moe and fanservice are different things for me). But in any case I don't really care (one medium rant post each week has just become a tradition) because good shows keep being produced. Some shows need to fill the lower ranks of the sales after all, and the current season is probably the best in 3 or more years even if the top 5 sales are crap, it still won't take away the 20 other good to awesome shows I'll enjoy :) |

jmal said: Oniichanz said: And Nisemonogatari not out yet? i was actually scared it didn't sell, because it is certainly one of the best fanservice shows of 2012, thank goodness someone here mentioned about it. Yeah I wouldn't worry, it's already 100% guaranteed to be the best selling TV anime of 2012. And even if current ~60-65k estimates were the real numbers and it never sold any more than that it'd still be one of the best selling anime in history. Well, I wouldn't say 100%. Fate/Zero can still beat it out, though its a longshot. But yeah, its like 90% or so... unless something really major gets announced for the fall. |
|
Oniichanz said: Btw jmal, can i have the link of all the anime sales? i'd like to keep track of the history of sales. it wasn't question for me but I use this site - ok you need to put title in Japanese in search box but it shows how much were sold http://dvdbd.wiki.fc2.com/ |
| @jmal (won't quote because the wall of text would become annoying soon ^^) My fault on the sales part, I was actually thinking of the MAL viewers when I wrote that. And as I said, fanservice is not the only thing that sells, but it's constantly within the top sales each season. (There is also the Guilty Crown type of show and mecha series who often do well, but also often with unnecessary fanservice). And unnecessary is the keyword for me here (Similar to degrees, but not the same). First of all if the fanservice is the main aspect of the show, like in 90% of the shows with ecchi and harem tags, I will always hate those shows. Highschool DxD is exactly that for example, or Kiss X Sis and enough other shows. I just avoid these, their superstitiousness makes me a bit sad when they have a lot of fans who don't seem to care about substance, but I generally don't bother with those shows except maybe poking here and there in the news forums like I just did. Then there's fanservice that cou would call "well done", I would just consider it "fitting fanservice". When it's totally fitting in with the genre (which is NOT mainly a fanservice genre) and characters, doesn't make you bang your head against the wall because of how forced it is etc.. It is indeed well integrated in the whole complexity of the series. Lupin is such a case, but also the Monogatari stuff (sometimes borderline though, but I don't see the fanservice as the main aspect, but the dialogues. I wouldn't enjoy it otherwise). If I can enjoy or will give those shows a try depends on what they are about, though I only have few genres that I generally avoid. And then there is fanservice in shows where I know that I would enjoy the premise and setting etc... of the show much more of some of the fanservice (or all of it) was substituted by more mature ways of depicting them. Highschool of the Dead is a classic case for that, but I would also put Inu X Boku somehow in this category. The whole supernatural mansion thing was interesting and I would have loved it if the tone of the show had been different. But as I said it's not mainly because of some fanservice, but because I personally can't stand that kind of character relationship/chemistry, so even if you say it's very well handled and developed throughout the series, that doesn't change much for me. Same would go for an incestuous relationship or any kind of harem, well portrayed or not. I don't feel obligated to go into further detail about why, it's just how it is. It's all about if I get the feeling that the fanservice is included only because they think they NEED that to attract viewers or if it is included because they CAN add some to an already decent show to spice things up. I'm not a fan of either, but the latter just doesn't seem so desperate and it doesn't immediately throws me out of the "world" of the anime because it makes it so obvious that the people behind it are just fishing for sales with cheap methods. As for master/servant, incestious or harem relationships I can't shake off the thoughts that that's the main reason they're doing it, even if that may not be the case. It may be a prejudice, but one based on experience and even if I miss out a small number of good shows because of it, it protects me from a far larger number of crap I'd never want to touch. That plus the fact that I'm already open to and able to enjoy a wider range of genres than most other people, make me not very worried about that small, prejudical character flaw. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |

Like, there wasn't even the excuse of wanting to see the uncensored titties as they were uncensored on TV as well. two words: sex sells. more words: naked pole dancing, naked, boobs, more boobs. it has story but I think the otaku in japan are buying it for the fanservice. could be wrong though. if they could even make hina takanashi body pillows I'm not putting anything past japanese otaku. (yea I tried watching the first episode but the ecchi threw me off. I guess it was a level of ecchi I couldn't stand.) You're not even close. The series is based off a popular series of light novels which already has a large fanbase set. It's the same reason Horizon sold so well. Purposes of enjoyment are irrelevant as there is no direct correlation to sales and amount of sexual content. |
| at least some anime r doing ok |

phoenixalia said: jmal said: Amazon Ranking Stalker, or you can just trawl through Amazon's bestseller lists. Stalker is at: http://www27392u.sakura.ne.jp/index_news.cgi That page lists 1) anime in the top 100 of all DVD/BDs, 2) all upcoming Vol. 1s on BD, and 3) all upcoming Vol. 1s on DVD. The "points" (pt) column is the current estimate of what sales aree, based on algorithms that combine Amazon rankings with historical sales data. Just keep various caveats in mind, such as the longer something has been solicited, the more points it has (so don't compare something that's been up for preorder for a month with something that just got listed yesterday), and that sometimes the estimates can be significantly off, although they're usually pretty good. Obviously the closer the release date is, the closer the points are likely to be to what Oricon will actually report. thanks so very much again. is it updated regularly? Its updated hourly |
