| Haikyuu sure sells a lot. |

| damn those Ajin sales, i never watch that show but i heard Bubuki Buranki have horrible sales like it too and they are both 2.5D animation |
| 10. *,404 **,404 Ajin Vol.3 Limited Edition And it still gets second season? Wow. |
  |
it was planned to be a split-cour series i heard, just like with Bubuki Buranki too |
Well then, sucks for them I guess. Hopefully it will teach them that nobody wants to watch shitty 2,5D animation :< |

skitzo said: that is becoming true, im on the minority that likes 2.5D animation to improve more Well, personally I believe that one day it might become reality, and all anime will be CGI, but right now it looks just cheap and unappealing imo. Cutscenes in some games look better, and in anime visual aspect is a lot more important. I'm not surprised that anime fans don't want to support that. Rachmaninow said: The thing with Ajin is that the story is excellent (the manga even more so) but the animation is garbage compared to the stuff we're accustomed to. As a fan of the series, it tears you apart, lemme tell you. I was looking forward to this anime mainly because of how gorgeous manga looked, so I'm even more depressed by how anime turned out to be :( I'll definitely buy manga in the future to check it out. |

| Yay for Hai to Gensou no Grimgar and Yuru Yuri! |
 |
| I'm glad to see Haikyuu!! topping these lists, but I wish it's sales were more on par with Osomatsu-san. it really deserves it. |
Kitsu-nee said: Well then, sucks for them I guess. Hopefully it will teach them that nobody wants to watch shitty 2,5D animation :< Ajin was good. I don't care that much about animation. Story/action/characters > Animation |
| Too bad about Ajin...at least we do have another season this Fall. Happy to see Haikyuu!! Second Season at top of the list this week. |

Kitsu-nee said: Well then, sucks for them I guess. Hopefully it will teach them that nobody wants to watch shitty 2,5D animation :< Ye same here i really hate CGI i watched both of the 1st episode of this 2 anime and was just nope, jpn will still need some time befor they can make CGI watchable cuz atm with this low frame-rates it just looks bad but else yeh CGI is probably the future of the anime mainly bcz its cheaper to make and faster aswell thats why we are recently getting so many CGI either fully or with lots of parts ben in CGI but well thats why we also get maybe 10anime more then previous year at same season etc they simply want to make more and more.... |

I'm not surprised that anime fans don't want to support that. ye i can understand that, im just a fan of animation in general and want to see the gradual improvements of 2.5D animation with a cheap budget like anime has |
| Atleast they'll make their money back with the BD's, wonder if the other sales will make them consider a sequel :( *2. 2,960 *2,960 Hai to Gensou no Grimgar Vol.3 *7. *,406 **,406 Hai to Gensou no Grimgar Vol.3 Pretty good for a short :) *5. 1,521 *1,521 Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko: Everything Flows Limited Edition 11. *,230 **,230 Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko: Everything Flows Limited Edition |

Reminds me of Shounen Hollywood where it had below 1k per volume and still had a second season so my guess would be is that they already had a second season planned before hand or they want to up the sales of the manga more. I loved this anime honestly and I'm happy that despite its terrible sales its getting a continuation. |

umashikaneko said: Source? It is one of the popular manga in Japan in the first place. A single volume of Ajin manga sales is equivalent of 30.000-50.000 disc sales. here and here it's also probably because the manga is really popular in Japan, but I know that the anime gained most of it's earnings from netflix. it was available worldwide i believe. |

Oh I see I forgot that Netflix had it so yeah that makes sense. xD They did say that they would help produce anime from what I read in a crunchyroll article so I'm guessing they are backing up the cost. |

| Grimgar only sells around steady of 3k.... kiss goodbye to second season. I blamed them for the weird montages input soundtrack. Also I'm surprised about Ajin, it sells so low, but it got second season announced really quickly. |

I think they already plan it together shen season 1 was still on going .. worst scenario Ajin Season 2 will be the last .. |
