Does anybody know whether and when the OST for Monogatari SS will be released?
The OST is included in bonus discs in the Bluray/DVD volumes.

For Bakemonogatari they did a songs and soundtracks 2 disc set but they never did one for Nisemonogatari so I don't know if they'll do one again for Monogatari SS.
Would be a shame if they didn't. This season has some really great pieces of music.

Note that they have re-used many soundtracks from Bake, Nise and Neko Kuro and I don't think they are repeating them on the discs so for the full soundtrack I expect you'll need the other CDs anyways.

I'm aware of this to a certain degree. But from the reused material there are also a couple of (slightly) changed tracks which where made to fit the individual situations, like the Kaiki theme. And I like some of those more than the original ones.

Of course I might have missed some. In particular the first song that was played during the Kaiki x Nadeko conversation comes to my mind. It might have been used in earlier situations, but probably I haven't noticed it that much back then, because it didn't have the same effect on me during the scenes where it had been used earlier.

Please notice, that I haven't been very interested in the Monogatari OST before this season, until it somehow clicked for me, so I might need a little help here.

Guys how is Highschool DxD New doing right now? Are the sales good enough for a third season or are they unsatisfactory?

They most definitely are. What's very important, DxD has incredibly consistent sales so next season shouldn't drop by much, that's a huge plus for this show. I hope they announce it soon.

Most of the LN were adapted into anime though.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Yahari has at least a couple of novels worth to use now.Four more and we can do season two. A year and a half or so...
---
So, just how much did they cut from Hanekawa's letter? I knew from reading it but I still would not have imagined that Yui Horie would read it in character for FORTY FOUR MINUTES! Tsubasa Tiger v2 bonus audio is the whole letter and it is more than two episodes worth of monologue.

v2 also has summary episode one in full HD 1080p with 24-bit 48KHz audio lke episodes 4-5, two non credit EDs, audio commentary written by Nisioisin with characters Tsuhiki and Nedeko, not as good as girls talk by Hitagi and Hanekawa on v1 but it has some funny moments including mention of Kizumonogatari whn Episode is on. CD2 has 17 excellent OST tracks and 30 minutes of atogatari by Koyomi and Hanekawa seiyuu.

Though I'm not fond of their single, I still have to congratulate Sphere for making it to #15.

While the only single I truly care about is this:

YES! It's too bad, though, that these two good songs are so far down the list:

Ah so this is the week where people start jacking it to Monogatari sales again. I swear MAL is disturbingly in love with this franchise.

GarLogan78 said:

IDK why people keep lamenting over Monogatari sales. They are still amazing, even if they don't live up to S1. Even if it dropped to below 30k it would still be amazing.


I've commented many times about how there seems to be a group of people that think the anime world revolves around the Monogatari franchise and anything less than record breaking sales is a travesty of some sort. It's an ego thing IMO.

Love Live being left off the list is hardly surprising by the way. Why would people ever acknowledge the successes of a Namco Bandai/Sunrise franchise considering they're the bad guys to be trashed on by the community? I keep insisting that if it doesn't have Kyoani or SHAFT's name on the product most people (emphasis on most) don't really care and I'm not seeing terribly much evidence to the contrary still. The symbv's and HPulleys and what not of the board are the exceptions IMO so thanks for getting those numbers out there.

One more observation I would make is Love Live seems to be another one of those series that completely ignores the rule of subsequent volumes sell less. Thanks to it being a multimedia franchise it's number kind of seem to be all over the place with Volumes 6 and 7 still regularly creeping into the top 100 anime.

I'm not familiar with how much sales equals success, but I do know that "Maware! Setsugetsuka" has almost 10,000 in its first week, while "Golden Time" has been out for at least a couple of weeks - yet only has more than 15,000 total.

Wasn't Diabolik Lovers DVD only? I guess it sold less than 638 at Animate then.

Too bad I can see how much Uta no☆Prince-sama♪ Maji Love 2000% Vol.6 and Brothers Conflict Vol.4 being released in same week affecting its sales.

6.5k -> 6.6k -> 7.5k Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio

A pretty good show. Sort of glad fans are overlooking the CG animation Manga is way better though.

rederoin said:

2.3k -> 4k -> 4.5k Kyoukai no Kanata

I think the numbers are matching the quality of the series. It started off weak. But it's really gotten way better as of late.

rederoin said:

7.5k -> 4.3k -> 3.8k Strike the Blood

I think it's the exact opposite here. Concept started off OK. But the story has gotten really 'blah' lately. you thought it might be some "Toaru Majestu no Index" world series. But it's just turning into a boring vampire harem.
rederoin said:

1.1k -> 1.3k Golden Time

I kind of enjoy this series. Sad that it's being panned so bad. I guess from a Otaku's prospective the characters are too old. "Needy college girls Bleh! Where's my preteens in sailor suits!?"

There's not enough source material for a new season. Season 2 pretty much ended at volume 8 and Volume 9 is where it's at now. The average material needed for the series is about 4 volumes per 1 cour/12 episodes.

your looking at least another year before they can think about doing a 3rd season.

It's better than most IMO. Very rare is it that there's an OP I feel like listening to on it's own much these days, but that's one them I watch every time. IMO the best opening theme song so far this season has been Yowamushi Pedal's. I have little doubt that I'm probably alone in this.

Compare with other shows. Golden Time is not a popular show but Yui Horie is fairly popular but not up at Nana Mizuki level but if Golden Time had been sung by a nobody it would be lucky to have 1.5K sales. Compare to the Outbreak Company OP by Mimorin with similar sales because she is popular but again not a Nana Mizuki level seiyuu. But the Outbreak Company ED sold very poorly because the show is not that popular and even coming from GuP the seiyuu is little known.

Maware! Setsugekka is probably the most popular ED of the season, most talked about anyway so it is doing well even though the seiyuu are not that popular. Hitomi sang the OP too and yet it has not yet reached 10K sales.

NouCome OP is talked about and Afilia Saga is very popular so it has very good sales.

TM Revolution and Nana Mizuki singng the phone book would sell 100K...

Probably. The charts in my post were from some business magazine so it could be a bit uneven in terms of coverage, as the report is mainly on BD in anime.

I love Ai Kayano and Yui was in StyLips but they really did't promote it with their names. Only the little extra paper spine wrapper and deep in the lyrics sheet mentions them. The cover just says Maware! Setsugekka by the Setsugekka Singing Group. But the ED animation and song is such fun that it is talked about a lot for itself, not its seiyuu.

I tio love what Hitomi did with Anicca and enjoy the Neowing extra photo...

This can be compared to the IS2 ED which didn't take advantage of its star power, adding Mimorin did nothing when Beautiful Sky and SUPERººSTREAM are both quite good songs and IS2 itself obviously has a higher profile than Machine Doll. But it has poor sales.... even though it lists the seiyuu in small print.

Well, I would say just the name of Ogura and Kayano would help sell the single to some extent if the song is a good one. I am sure most anime fans who bought the single would have known that Kayano and Ogura are there singing the song. Besides, whether their names were promoted has very little to do with what you said ("so it is doing well even though the seiyuu are not that popular"), no? Because the simple fact is that the seiyuu singing the ED are mostly very popular.

How much (or little) a seiyuu's popularity helps the single sales is one thing; whether the seiyuu are popular or not is entirely something else.

For the TV series chart, only the bestselling volume from a TV series will be ranked.
Is there any chance we'll get more useful ranking in next few weeks?
Probably. The charts in my post were from some business magazine so it could be a bit uneven in terms of coverage, as the report is mainly on BD in anime.
Good. I was worried it would replace yearly lists from previous years, especially because LN and manga lists came out recently and I didn't remember when BD/DVD lists come out. Thanks symbv and Ejc.

So is Love Live the most popular Sunrise Studio 8 show to date in terms of disc sales? It just seems to continually get more and more successful even though it ended pretty early on this year.

Well, I would say just the name of Ogura and Kayano would help sell the single to some extent if the song is a good one. I am sure most anime fans who bought the single would have known that Kayano and Ogura are there singing the song.
While they certainly are very popular seiyuu, are you sure they're also popular for their music?

Of course I am sure - at least for Ogura. Let's me give you this list:

Ogura is third, just below long time veteran Mizuki Nana and Tamura Yukari. A list made half a year ago also saw Ogura in high place, at 4th, only below Mizuki Nana, Tamura Yukari and Horie Yui, all have much longer singing history.

Indeed Kayano does not have too much of singing career but I am sure a lot of fans are keen on hearing her sing given how popular she is right now. Fact is she has been singing for years under various characters like Mashiro (Sakuraso), Muginami (Rinne no Lagrange), Saori (GirlPan), Lucy (Ser x Ser) or Kirika (SymphogearG) etc but never under her own name. Yet fans are pretty positive about her singing.

Note: In the list above, after Ogura, we have Iguchi Yuka, Mimori Suzuko, Kitamura Eri, Chihara Minori, Takagaki Ayahi, Hanazawa Kana, Horie Yui, Misawa Sachika, Sakamoto Maaya, Taketatsu Ayana before we reach the 10k line.

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

^^^ Seems they made an artistic, anti-business case by making Hitomi Yaya instead of Yui. as Komurasaki is a much less prominent character.

But whenever Komurasaki appeared, fans in Japan went wild. And they kept asking why there is not more Komurasaki. So in one sense Ogura Yui cast as Komurasaki is not a bad thing for her - whenever that character shows up she steals most if not all the limelight. It is not bad for business either - using Ogura Yui only sparingly is enough to hold so much of fans' attention, so perhaps matching Komurasaki with Ogura is actually a smart decision after all.

I really like Hitomi as Yaya, from the opening scene she is much how I imagined her while reading the novel. Komurasaki stealing the attention is what she does so she is appropriate too. Just wonder if Anicca would have sold 25K by now if Yui had sung it.

Hopefully the Blurays and DVDs sell enough for more as they will only cover a third of the material this season.

I think the numbers are matching the quality of the series. It started off weak. But it's really gotten way better as of late.

It mostly went up because of the event ticket. V2 is still estimated at 2.6k.

2ch has quite many people reporting they have bought KMB BD Box too.

And 2ch's tradition is to upload the image of their haul:

The Haganai sales drop is also partly due to there being a gap of five(!) months between the releases of the first and second volume. I'm fairly sure the numbers would've looked different, had the releases been more consistent.

It's kinda good. Of course the sales would have been better if it wasn't leaked two weeks earlier.

The industry has real problems. Someone inside is leaking stuff on youtube days or weeks before it comes out so they aren't even rips after sales, someone in manufacturing or distribution must be leaking stuff.
