I thought BnHA was super popular in Japan? Sales seem to be average.

The sales are almost just like Noragami's , but BnHA still gets a third season. :')

Help the industry and buy Blu-rays and DVD's.
Noragami is the best anime ever.

Disc sales arent that important for the jump tittles if you look back to for example assassination classroom or shokugeki no some neither of them were selling any good around 1~2k per vol so the amount that BnHA sales now is pretty decent though ye it went down now as we see.

At this point I dont think that DVD/BR really determine will there will be more sequel or not.

BnHA popular likely due manga not anime,
The anime serves it purpose to advertise people who havent read it or too lazy to read manga.

See that Frame Arm Girl not even got a top 10 during the airing vote, with ridicolous critique by people.
Yet here it sells like 10k for a single volume.

In previous week Frame arm also appear on the top list

I dont think a normal logic apply to anime industry anymore. (i mean to insult anime industry, not people)

It's the tv ratings that matter.Disc sales are only bonus at this point.How do you think One piece became one of the most profitable anime of all time with only 800-1000 disc sales?

So... last week we got Gakkou Gurashi Box and this week we got

*8. **,904 ***,904 Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai Complete Blu-ray BOX

Hmm, is there a trend of old anime getting BD boxes that I didn't know about? I know DAL gets its BD Box + Director's Cut last year too.

This is a little misleading. For late night shows (almost all anime not aimed at kids) BDs/DVDs matter a lot and TV ratings are irrelevent. (Because you dont get ratings at 1am anyway) kids shows like BnHA and OP, however, have manga sales and TV ratings as much better guides to its popularity. Parents dont buy expensive blu rays but they will buy manga and the kids with watch cartoons in the mornings (making ratings important)

Wow. Vol. 4 and Frame Arms is still selling well...

Next week will the the moment of truth. Made in Abyss and Owarimonogatari S2. AXZ vol.2 will also be there, but I doubt that it will outsell MiA and Owarimonogatari. I do hope that the sales for vol.2 will stay high along with vol.1 though...

It can't be too shocking that the BNHA sales are on the low side. Glad the west is making up for those sales in stride.

Also Frame Arms Girl......really......

One piece Blu Ray Box which called "log collection" still sold around 13 K per box... it usually contain 20 episode or so (depend on arc)... we don't know yet how much blu ray box BnHA do...

Can you give some link about this? cause i have information saying that the rating for Late anime show are usually really important (and bd/dvd are important too, but in the late years the rating seems to be really important for late anime show too)
While you shitpost about other taste, i watch or read stuff :D

Those above are correct. Shounen titles like One Piece, MHA, Bleach, Naruto, etc survive mostly on manga and merchandise sales, with home releases and ratings for ad revenue serving as an important addition. MHA actually got higher ratings than Naruto Shippuden did in its climactic arc. One Piece blu-ray sales are horrible, but the One Piece Log DVD collections which have more episodes on them than the blu-rays sets, are substantially cheaper but slower in production and get upwards of 8000 sales per set depending on the arc. A similar trend should follow MHA when the complete collection is released. Home release sales for this year are actually down compared to last year, but anime streaming has become much bigger and more profitable. Especially in China.

It's only 4 episodes a box plus a drama CD. So it's not very shocking that the sales aren't reaching top chart and they're releasing them as slow as ever.

A little reading comprehension on your part would be nice. The anime pushed the series into one of the most profitable franchises in Japan this year despite the low BD/DVD sales. The ratings brought exposure to the series and all other manner of merchandises increased in sales despite the low BD/DVD sales. This is the same for One Piece and was the same for Naruto Shippuden, Hitman Reborn, Bleach, and so on. MHA was not in the top selling media franchises ijn Japan before the anime aired in 2016. The BR/DVD sales were even lower then.

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-12-29/top-selling-media-franchises-in-japan-2015/.97051

Ergo, ratings matter more than BD/DVD sales because it brings exposure to the franchise so other forms can be bring in profit.

No shit.
This thread is about the BD/dvd sales, and I'm saying how much of a flop these sales were.
And some people pulling shit from their asses and say "the ratings matter more Than bd/dvd sales without real evidence or some shit.
I know that it was one of the most profitable anime of this year due to the manga sales mainly and some other things, but in these sales it was a huge flop

Nobody argued against that. They said, regardless of the low sales, the anime still did its job and you claimed there was no evidence to suggest this. Which I showed to you.
