| Glad to see Osomatsu-san still doing well. Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! vol 2 @ 8.4k, cool. |
 |
| Nice! Konosuba is still selling well. |
| :3 |
| Konosuba still going strong. I guess people really wanted that Drama CD. |
| lol owarimono beat oso by 300 thats kinda funny good to see that meiji tokyo movie there too. want it subbed soon. |
| That cover Owari so strong! Gintama not doing great unsurprisingly Really wonder if another TV adaption will be possible |
 |
| I thought that Gochiusa had a huge drop, but thankfully that's not what happened. Gochiusa s2 v5 sells 2,872 BDs…. if you’re wondering what happened with the seemingly massive drop here, it’s that Gochiusa has a very strange release this volume. It comes out on a Monday (5/02), presumably due to Golden Week-related reasons. Because this reporting period ends on 5/01, the pre-release day for this volume is actually caught in this week’s reporting. This is a near coincidence because it shows us the exact percentage of pre-sale vs release day onward for the BDs. The full first week for this disc should be about 7k so we’re looking at 40-45% pre-release sales. It would have sold some BDs this week but as it only does ~1k BDs, it just didn’t make the threshold, but should make the extendeds with around 350-400. http://www.someanithing.com/4797 |

| ^ But isn't that kind of meaningless since it's exactly the opposite for these two if you were to only look at the DVD sales...? As in Blu-ray: A sold better than B! DVD: B sold better than A! |
| *1. 45,619 Osomatsu-san Vol.4 Limited Edition BD+DVD Dropped by only 2.5k compared to volume 3's first week which is pretty normal. If v3's an indication then this one will be sell over 60k too. |
| Looks like Gate is still selling consintley...slight drop from s1 but it should get an average 4.5k in sales which is good. Konosuba still selling strong... Shin maou has had a very good sale average. it had a drop from s1 but it is still an average 4k not bad at all. Rakudai i wish had a bit of a stronger reception but if the last volume just hangs in there it will have a 3k average sale...which is far better than most would have expected..... i just wish more people gave it the benefit of the doubt. |
tsudecimo said: Gintama not doing great unsurprisingly Really wonder if another TV adaption will be possible Remember that Gintama is still the only long running series that still ranks in Oricon charts. Also, note that Gintama sells a lot in box sets (re-release) on top of individual volumes. It's true that the number of sales per volumes have died down over 10 years (they used to be in the range of 15K in the past with original Gintama with box sets contributing to additional 7K on average per season) but Gintama is still very popular in Japan. I think it is still one of the highest sellers of merchandises in Japan. |

Other long runner anime still rank anyway, like one piece at about 1k. Source for box sets re-release number? source for merchandise sales? I don't really see any indication that Gintama is still popular. It only survives with these separate seasons because of it's good disc sales, and now that's declining heavily I don't see much reason for another season to happen. |

tsudecimo said: Source for box sets re-release number? source for merchandise sales? Someanimething would be the source for re-release numbers. But here is a snapshot anyways (highlighted in yellow).  As for the merchandise, I couldn't find the source I was looking for so I said "I think". There was an ANN news a couple of years back (2013 or 2014, I am not sure) where Gintama ranked 11th in merchandise sales (lake touya, regular and chibi figures, katsu-cap, key rings, mobile straps, calendar etc). My assumption is Gintama would still rank reasonably high now right after a 51 episode installment. tsudecimo said: I don't really see any indication that Gintama is still popular. I think you are right on that. One of the recent surveys says Sorachi is the most popular mangaka right now. Gintama° won in the new category introduced this year the fans award in Tokyo Anime Awards 2016. And there is a smartphone game introduced last month which is said to be really popular amongst fans right now. Source: google. tsudecimo said: It only survives with these separate seasons because of it's good disc sales, and now that's declining heavily I don't see much reason for another season to happen. You don't need to see reason for another season to happen. Because it will happen ^_^. Welp, I think I have replied enough. Have fun hating. |

Those are 7-9 years old..They are not relevant to the current sales of Gintama. Back then the series had good sales so this doesn't add anything. I find that hard to believe. Like I said in a previous post in another thread that's irrelevant. A magazine with a poll doesn't mean anything. There are like 10k voters at the most, so it doesn't prove anything. The actual statistics that matter show Gintama manga having lukewarm popularity. Mediocre rankings in Shounen Jump, and manga sales that are consistent but not high compared to other series in Jump, most notable about this is that the anime for whatever reason never have any noticeable boost to the manga. A mobile game? really? lol. Depends on how many voted for said award. Really? many anime hint at a continuation but it doesn't mean anything. At best there will be more OVAs. There is not enough profit in the franchise for another season to happen. In the first place if Gintama was popular enough it wouldn't have discontinued seasons (as literally stated in the show itself, when it changed from a prime time slot to a late night slot) |

| Shinmai maou no testament burst is selling better than rakudai XD Gintama is dead :P Even if another season happens , it'll be even lower quality than this one. |

moodie said: because we all know the DVDs come from the female consumers So you excluded the DVD sales in order to leave out the sales acquired by female consumers so that you could look at the sales acquired by male consumers? In that case, Blu-rays are also being bought by female consumers, so I doubt you can compare while assuming the following: "number of sold DVD copies ⇔ copies bought by female consumers" (and "number of sold Blu-ray copies ⇔ copies bought by male consumers", since the only ones left to purchase Blu-rays would be male consumers) Even if you only try to get a rough idea of how the copies bought by male consumers may compare while being aware that there is a margin of error, that margin of error might as well be around 300 copies, which should not be unlikely for two series that sell more than 20.000 copies, but because that hasn't been taken into consideration, it seems that Blu-ray → male consumers, DVD → female consumers is assumed to be rather accurate. As for female Blu-ray buyers, if I take utapri as an example, both the third season and the previous one sold more Blu-ray than DVD copies for each individual volume and in total (example) - and I doubt that all or even most of those Blu-rays have been bought by male consumers. The overall Blu-ray sales are even twice as high as the DVD sales for the third season, so I think it would be an understatement to assume that only a small amount of Blu-rays (much less an amount equal to the number of DVDs bought by male consumers) is being bought by female consumers nowadays. When it comes to these two volumes, I can easily imagine that the number of Blu-rays aquired by female buyers is far higher for osomatsu than for owarimonogatari. As for the number of copies bought by male consumers, I wouldn't be surprised if osomatsu's is being lower (although it's impossible to know for sure). Needless to say, there is nothing wrong with comparing sales acquired by male (or female) buyers only, however I cannot find anything that may be hinting at that in any of the three posts I quoted, if anything, noticing that a long-running series still sells as much as a series in its prime sounds like an observation you would make when looking at how a series' sales changed over time as a whole rather than just sales acquired by a single group of buyers. moodie said: i just left it out because we are comparing 1 variable to another. That still seems to come down to this... |

| Everyone sitting here bitching about what sales mean what and I'm just happy KonoSuba sold around 8.5k again xD Also really happy to see GochiUsa still selling since it's a favorite of mine, unfortunately the sales have dropped, but that's expected for later volumes. |

moodie said: well ur being arbitrary and unnecessary since ur the only one who had this problem. There only being one person pointing "something" out in one place among many other does not necessarily indicate that "something" is either arbitrary or unnecessary. No one has a way of grasping the number of people who agree, but don't post, the ones who would agree but only read the opening post here and most importantly, the people who would agree but aren't active on this (part of the) website. When disc sales are being discussed among Japanese fans, it's normal to talk about the total of DVD and Blu-ray copies. Some people also write down their expectations for the sales and rarely write DVD and Blu-ray expectations separately (although that also depends on the target group). Not that I'd think that the number of people agreeing or not indicates whether something is unnecessary or not. |

Konosuba volume 2 sold around 9.3k. I don't understand why people ignore the DVDs lol. |
| Seems too hard for people to understand so I wish these lists would just add them together so there is one single, simple list that won't make people forget to read the second list... Does it really matter anymore whether they are BD or DVD sales? Or put the DVD sales in brackets... or have THREE lists with the totals first as people stop reading after that. You can put the BD and DVD lists in spoilers that two people will take the trouble to open and talk about female sales which is not necessarily true... The only nice thing is that we got to see the Owari v5 cover this week because it barely beat out Osomatsu san for BDs but that doesn't seem to be worth the rest of the confusion caused by separate lists. |

| Well well well... KonoSuba seems to be going strongly at 9k+ each months. I'm glad it's not just because people wanted the RPG game. Hopefully they can get another 2k boost like last month for next week to bring it up to 11k. Everyone is believing on you now, Deen (ノ^_^)ノ Announce season 3 already! (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ |

| So why do people consider 5k+ first week sales for Gintama° as low? That's actually a lot for a series with 300+ episodes in total. |
Agafin said: So why do people consider 5k+ first week sales for Gintama° as low? That's actually a lot for a series with 300+ episodes in total. The decrease from the previous season it is really drastic. Not counting Enchouzen that is majority reaired episodes(and it still sells more than this around 3k copies), this season declined from a 12,575 average to a 6,742. Almost half of the sales. This volume seems to continue that pattern. |

Bakemonogatari averaged 79k in 2010 while Owari is struggling to hit 25k, doesn't mean that Owari is doing bad, it(s just a natural fatigue that happens with all these anime as they lengthen. Thing is, can you name any recent anime that is 300+ episodes overall and still averages 5k+? One Piece doesn't, Naruto didn't, Bleach (after 300 episodes) didn't either. I think Gintama is doing excellently everything considered. |

I think Gintama is doing excellently everything considered. almost half of Enchouten is past episodes. 10 old episodes and 14 new ones. And that is why even only having 4 disks that season lost 3k copies per volume from the previous one. Enchouten has a format so different from the others seasons, that it can be seen as something separte, but like I already said, this season still has a significant decrease from even Enchouten. In terms of Monogatari example, is to note that Owari also got a big decrease from the previous season, so it doesn't prove that Gintama isn't doing low, when Owari is also doing. Both are doing low. And yes, there is a good reason why this kind of significant sales decrease happened with both Gintama, Monogatari and others. The seasons Breaks. But that is just the reason, it doesn't removes the fact that such decreases happened to the series. Such decreases in sales of seasonal series is the reason why they have only around 4 seasons(with break) at maximum. About the 300+ episodes and selling overal 5k, One Piece Box sets sell 10k+ so yes in average does above that, though if we forget box sets, Naruto nor One Piece didn't even sold like that in the beginning. People arent' comparing Gintama with other series, what they are doing is comparing Gintama with itself, so if is to put other series we have to bring how those other series did compared with themselves too. I never really compared how One Piece, Naruto and Bleach did in comparison with themselves, let me do that comparison here, including Gintama: Resume by the 7th season/arc in sales comparison with where the series began we have: 1º place - Naruto with 3/2 2º place - Bleach with 2/3 3º place - One Piece with 1/2 4º place - Gintama with 1/3 (Note: From Bakemonogatari to Owarimonogatari is also 1/3 and also 7th seasons) |
