Glad to see that Flying Witch is just around the 3k line. I feel bad for Kuromukuro but maybe Netflix paid a big chunk of the costs this series had since they're grand sponsors.

Seeing PA Works sales record i think disc sales doesn't really matter for them, otherwise they should be closed not moving to a way bigger office in early this year.

Hell their first sequel announced at last month was also a show their not having good sales.

Though even assume Kuromukuro earned a lot money i still don't think sequel is needed, maybe OVA or movie, but it doesn't need another full TV season.

Nice to see Flying Witch sales remain consistent at least, Days sold a bit more than I thought it would.

A shame it's low sales for the first volume of Kuromukuro but hopefully it's done well enough for Netflix that they could fund a sequel of sorts, wasn't happy with the fairly open ending as it left many things to be resolved.

Hmm, in a month chart would Flying Witch roughly calculated about nearly 10K sell. This would be then impressive, and probably a reason for the producers a 2nd season make about - I'd not mind^_^

Agreed on the Flying Witch sales though they may be too low for a sequel, given that the manga sales are also fairly low (volume 4 did rank but only 28K).

Now, Netflix doesn't care AT ALL about disc sales, they care about Netflix views. So if you want to see more Kuromukuro then subscribe to Netflix and watch both seasons, maybe even a few times. If everyone watched it elsewhere then Netflix doesn't know there is interest, doesn't see any views and will almost certainly NOT offer to fund a second season. Legal streaming is a BIG part of a show's income now, probably more than disc sales; this includes foreign streaming, in fact it may be higher for foreign streaming, especially in China. So if you want your show to continue, then support it with legal streaming at least (and buy discs and merch if you like too).

Touken Ranbu looks like 7.5K (4.2K BD, 3.3K DVD) which could be much higher if there is much storefront interest. It is #1 at DMM and ranking fairly well at Animate and Gamers so I expect it will be higher than the Stalker estimate.

Not that I like Yuri On Ice but I can't help but laugh at how some people are complaining when shows that target girls gets hated but a show that targets males is loved. LMMFAO(That's Laughing My Mother Fucking Ass Off) And yes I'm a guy but still find this funny.

Yeah I suspected as much about Netflix and disc sales. I do understand about legally watching the shows to support it and do so when I can but for me personally there isn't enough to justify the cost for Netflix in particular. If Netflix did a free version with ads then I'd go that way or if it were on Crunchyroll then great I could support it that way. The advent of more streaming services getting into anime is a double edged sword because yes it may mean more anime but it means more seperate subscription costs which is part of the reason I cannot support some series now (such as Prime).

Agreed, it is annoying having so many streaming services now. I thought with Funimation joining Crunchyroll that it would be one stop shopping but TAN has a full exclusive again (Matoi) and Daisuki has a one week exclusive (Long Riders, though Actas has delayed it) so along with Netflix I am paying for 3 providers and am on a free trial with Daisuki though I suspect I'll likely cancel it. Not good for legal streamers, very expensive. I too wish it was all on Crunchyroll.

I can't even get Prime here though it seems like Vivid Strike is only showing on Prime UK so even if Prime was available in Canada I'd likely be out of luck (unless we were lumped in with the UK, being a Commonwealth country; doubtful). Prime sold their rights to CraveTV here but Crave doesn't do anime. Luckily for me, the Prime shows have not been my favorites so far so I haven't really missed them.

Yep streaming for anime fans can be expensive, just for that alone not including any other services outside of anime. Had almost forgotten region exclusive streams make it even harder. Strangely the UK has been good in that regard this season as I wasn't aware Vivid Strike was exclusive here but we also get Fune wo Amu which oddly isn't being streamed in the US despite Amazon seemingly having the noitaminA license worldwide. A shame that this CraveTV doesn't do anime, sucks for you if they get shows you may like in future unless that changes.

Even tough there has been a steady increase in shows that focus on the appeal of the female demographics, A large percentage of anime fans (especially here on MAL are male) so they always bs when a series like this gets popular. :P

I'm surprised at this a little bit to be honest, but then again that's just what I see, and for the others, even though I'm not a big fan of Flying Witch, to some degree, I do give some props (I just didn't enjoyed it for a SoL series of course for me, being honest).

Do you know the estimates for Kiss him, not me? I know it's below 2k but is there any chance it would reach higher in the next couple of months? Was hoping it would sell fantastic because of the whole Ouran vibe it was giving off D:

Though glad Drifters is selling well hoping for a second season in the future ^_^

Touken Ranbu looks like 7.5K (4.2K BD, 3.3K DVD) which could be much higher if there is much storefront interest. It is #1 at DMM and ranking fairly well at Animate and Gamers so I expect it will be higher than the Stalker estimate.

Kiss Him Not Me/Watashi Mote is selling TERRIBLY! Under 500 copies predicted right now. It's a total train wreck. I think they messed up by changing the cast from the drama CD. Sadly, it will be one of the worst bombs of the season. Chance of it improving over time? Very low. Sorry...

Trickster and Udon no Kuni will be even worse. They're about the only ones that'll bomb worse than WataMote.

Kiss Him Not Me/Watashi Mote is selling TERRIBLY! Under 500 copies predicted right now. It's a total train wreck. I think they messed up by changing the cast from the drama CD. Sadly, it will be one of the worst bombs of the season. Chance of it improving over time? Very low. Sorry...

Trickster and Udon no Kuni will be even worse. They're about the only ones that'll bomb worse than WataMote.


Ouch below 500 copies? That's ridiculously low for this kind of anime even Diabolik Lovers season 2 sold better then Kiss him, not me. Is there by any chance a special event or something that will boost the sales? Oh and how did changing the cast from the Drama Cd affect the sales? The anime itself is hilarious and quite likable even males are actually enjoying it a lot so I still don't understand why the sales are low.

It already includes an event ticket. I much preferred HanaKana in the lead role.

It'll probably be 30~50% underestimated, but still lower than expected. Touken Ranbu is the 2nd most popular DMM game behind KanColle (last time I checked), so I would've expected at least 20K+ average. KanColle did well below its expectations, since KADOKAWA expected the anime to make 2 billion yen, but it only made around 900 million yen. Of course, when you make a terrible adaptation (according to the fans of the browser game and the light novel), your sales are going to get smashed really hard. Although I haven't been looking closely at what the Touken Ranbu fans in Japan think about the anime, so it may be too early to call.

Maybe male otaku should actually bother to buy shit then? Don't blame women cause they're actually bothering to help fund the industry at this point. I hope female otaku aimed shows flood the market so you will get to experience the glory that is male fanservice at every corner. almost similar to what female otaku had to experience for years before the rise of our fujoshi overlords.

LOL at that guy complaining about female oriented shows as usual. You're beyond pathetic at this point. Look. Sometimes female oriented shows don't sell well, sometimes male oriented sales don't sell well. Is that so hard to understand?

About TouRabu, I'm an anime only watcher so I can't say if they've changed things in the anime. It trends on twitter every time a new episode comes out in Japan. It's kind of hard to guess how much it'll sell at this point because Animate, Gamers plus DMM. Considering how much the stage play sold, I was expecting some more Amazon sales to be honest. Maybe fans are waiting for the Ufotable version?

The audience for Diabolik Lovers and WatashiMote are different. The former is an otome anime while the latter is a shoujo manga to anime adaptation which usually flop on their faces when made into anime (at least in recent years).

As a big fan of the manga who also bought both the limited edition drama CDs, I was extremely disappointed when they changed the cast for the anime. I don't dislike the new seiyuu but the drama CD cast fit the characters much more. HanaKana did a much better job as Kae, imo.

Another thing is they're sort of rushing the anime by adapting two-three chapters per episode. An anime only fan won't really notice much but as a manga fan when those little things that make the chapter special are left out, it leaves a bad feeling. That and the budget for the anime seems meh too.

I still like the WatashiMote anime, but no way as much as the manga. I'm guessing here, but Japanese fans may be the same. They watch it every week but they don't find it special enough to want to buy it and own it.

EXTREMELY sorry for this wall of post.

It's honestly a waste of time trying to explain it to the idiot who wrote gay boring anime is selling high, he's just just butthurt that Keijio is selling below average. Just let him be if he feels happy letting all his anger out by throwing shit on female oriented shows then fine, does he gain anything? Not really lol

Anyways you know I've never bought a Cd drama so I'm a bit lost in that department but if the studio that made the anime made the mistake of changing the cast then of course I would understand why the anime would be selling a bit less then others but 500 copies is ridiculous. I'm pretty bummed that even if the series did a lot of changes its selling terrible here I thought we would get a sequel just like Utapri and Hakouki did but guess I was wrong D: Wow I can't believe they changed Kae's seiyuu I absolutely love HanaKana she in my opinion fit Kae perfectly what were they thinking when they changed her /:

Same goes for the manga, been so behind with it but I keep hearing from people who've read it that the anime is a bit better? Hmmm I would definitely be upset if I knew as a manga reader that they were rushing the anime but I don't believe it's all bad the comedy is what I think saves the anime. I don't really mind animation never had a problem with that I'm all for new and old animation ^^

You know what I just realize this is the second reverse harem adapted from a manga, first it was Ouran Highschool host club right? Sorry for being so random but I would've prefered if either Barajou no kiss or S•L•K were adpated they deserve it more D: Anyways I can totally understand why Japan viewers who follow the manga wouldn't want to buy the discs but I still can't help to love the anime and hope for it to sell a bit more in the future.

Now I'm curious WHY ISN'T THE GOD OF ALL REVERSE HAREMS, UTA NO PRI SAMA ON THE EARLY ESTIMATES?


@hpulley Alrighty thanks for the info you've been very helpful my friend, even if the sales are terrible for now I won't lost hope that it will somehow manage to sell around 3k after its done airing !!

Girls, don't get so worked up over that guy, or waste your time on him. I understand it can get really infuriating to have to deal with people like him, but I just assume he's homophobic, like many other guys on MAL seem to be. I don't watch anime series that appeal to females, because they don't appeal to me, but I don't get angry over anime aimed at females selling well. I think it's a good thing, that there's more anime out there that appeals to females, but I think it is too extreme what marx-chan was suggesting. Yes, there needs to be more of a balance so that female fans can also enjoy the seasonal anime, but to oppress male fans just because of one rotten egg is not the way to go.

As for the question from @-Janet, UtaPri Season 4 is not solicited on Amazon JP, so there's no estimate available from Amazon Stalker. Although, even if it gets solicited on Amazon JP, it'll most likely be underestimated anyway due to strong performance at Animate.

@Janet as @phoenixalia pointed out, shoujo manga adaptations always sell very poorly now. The production committee chose to make an anime for it anyway so don't worry about the sales of discs. Instead, look to the manga and hope to see an increase in sales there.

Overall Mal forum members need to understand that it is not about them, not about their anime. Many shows are made today for many different tastes. There is no need to put down anime that is not your style. Instead just enjoy the shows you like. Don't worry too much about disc sales. It seems like streaming and merch sales are more important today in determining the success or failure. Discs play a part but a smaller part than before in the current media mix world.

@SeijiroUshio sadly I don't think Flip Flappers will increase much. It is not a style or type of anime which sells a lot. Hopefully its committee is not counting on high disc sales to recoup costs.

This is true. As proven by Love Live! and Gundam, they made 42.3 billion yen and 16.9 billion yen respectively in 2014, while the number from Oricon (which includes Movie BD/DVD, Anime BD/DVD, Music CD, Books/Novels and Manga), they made 5.3716 billion yen and 6.1435 billion yen respectively. That huge discrepancy in overall sales, can only be due to other revenue streams such as mobile game sales, merchandise sales, cosplay sales, etc.

Nice to see Flying Witch sales remain consistent at least, Days sold a bit more than I thought it would.

A shame it's low sales for the first volume of Kuromukuro but hopefully it's done well enough for Netflix that they could fund a sequel of sorts, wasn't happy with the fairly open ending as it left many things to be resolved.

Agreed on the Flying Witch sales though they may be too low for a sequel, given that the manga sales are also fairly low (volume 4 did rank but only 28K).

Now, Netflix doesn't care AT ALL about disc sales, they care about Netflix views. So if you want to see more Kuromukuro then subscribe to Netflix and watch both seasons, maybe even a few times. If everyone watched it elsewhere then Netflix doesn't know there is interest, doesn't see any views and will almost certainly NOT offer to fund a second season. Legal streaming is a BIG part of a show's income now, probably more than disc sales; this includes foreign streaming, in fact it may be higher for foreign streaming, especially in China. So if you want your show to continue, then support it with legal streaming at least (and buy discs and merch if you like too).



I heard that Netflix rate the series by the number of hours that it was watched.

Would be good if we had more data about how well an anime is watched on those streaming sites.
