I'm actually surprised that despite how popular LL is(not that I like it), none of the movies these days came close to total gross sales to compete with Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi......

You're comparing two entirely different types of movies. One is a late-night Anime Adaptation movie, the other one is a mainstream Anime Movie. There are certain stigmas still attached with anime that may have a certain portion of the fanbase being otaku in Japan, while this stigma is not really present for mainstream anime movies, especially one from Ghibli.

I am not sure if the Akihabara Massacre in 2008 contributed heavily or not to this stigma, but the perpetrator confessed to being an otaku, so naturally many Japanese have continued to hate on otaku. They would never watch any movies that may also be liked by otaku. I haven't looked around much, but it seems that junior high school girls are statistically very likely to hate otaku in Japan.

How does one splits what is late night or not? Does the upcoming Shinkai's movie Kimi no Na wa counts as late night? While some are generically easy to classify, standalone movies like Kimi no Na wa, Kotonoha no Niwa aren't.

Even if you want to bring up mainstream Anime movies, why hasn't OP, Naruto movies overtakes Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi?

I mean the second highest grossing movie behind Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi is Howl no Ugoku Shiro and even then, it barely got half of what Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi earns.

About if the Massacre in 2008 heavily affects, I think it's better to get a good understanding of the response before deciding but I highly doubt it heavily contributed to it.

Arpeggio doing good, more movies or new season please.

It's so amazing to see Aria selling well after all this years.

Arpeggio went into its own route and basically managed to finish the series with this final movie.
Considering that it is rather successful and the actual manga story line is still ongoing... there is a strong chance that a remake will come into the future.

Utawarerumono: Itsuwari no Kamen: Those sales ar actually rather good..considering this is a box set and has a way above average price range than your typical volumes....Here is to hoping the third season will come too...and maybe this time..they try to avoid the mistakes of the second and at least make it as good as the first if not better. (it was still good but it is a drop in quality compared to S1)

gophercg said:


I didn't finish Itsuwari yet, but was quite surprised too. This one right?
Amazon jp
That's $258usd for 12 episodes, slightly higher price per episode compared to on sale 3episode BD LEs ($64usd vs $50 like OPM/noragami).
Also mentions "original episode movies", OVA? It's a trilogy I heard, so S3 will finish the last game. Well cour 1 was mostly onsen episodes, so the BD sales makes sense...

Ejc said:


The BD-BOX is slightly cheaper per episode than a standard volume of a 12 episode TV Anime. What you guys are comparing to are TV Anime with cheaper volumes, but are in no way typical price. Typical price is at least > ￥7,000 for 2 episodes. Although, even if the BD-BOX is cheaper overall, it is still a higher upfront cost, because non BD-BOX TV Anime has the cost spread out across many volumes at least.

Discounts are disregarded to make the comparison fair, and the 8% sales tax is included in Amazon JP prices.
￥36,720 (￥34,000 w/o 8% tax) for 12 episodes = ￥3,060/episode (￥2,833.33/episode w/o 8% tax).
￥*7,560 (￥*7,000 w/o 8% tax) for *2 episodes = ￥3,780/episode (￥3,500/episode w/o 8% tax).

●　Standard TV anime examples used is Girls und Panzer and Love Live.
