I do think fanservice is required when it comes to ecchi anime, though. Stuff like MM and Dragon crisis which tried to sell themselves as ecchi anime, but they didn't even have a single panty shot or anything close to fanservice from what I can remember, and they both were massive flops in sales. Not saying TWGOK is ecchi or anything, just bringing up that there are times when fanservice is expected.[/quote said:
MM! had fanservice, a lot of it, Dragon Crisis not really, the only real fanservice was Rose running around nude loving Ryuuji to death in ep 1

Peoples have enough money to buy IS BD's... that's why anime industry still suffering with cliched crap.
We're already four volumes in. Isn't this bitching getting old even for you? Hell I don't even like IS and I'm sick of the complaining. It's like some people align their monthly period to the release week of shows they don't like just so they can be crabby right on schedule.
(Haha who am I kidding, some people bitch all month long.)
this SO VERY MUCH
for goodness sake's shows like Madoka,Ano Hana,tiger&bunny,and from the preorder rankings shows like Penguin Drum and usagi drop are all selling/going to sell well and people act as if it's only stuff like IS that sells.
Same with all this "you need to pander to otaku" talk,the combined amount of panty shots in the shows I've mentioned is 0,meanwhile softenni is at the bottom of the rankings and hasn't even sold 1000 copies

Or maybe TWGOK needs to learn that you have to pander to otaku to sell? Theres scenes where there should be panty shots and they actually go out of their way to cover them. Thats the kinda shit that otaku hate and will not give their money to. So they have no one to blame but themselves for not trying to appease their customers.
Ehhhhhhhh, I have to say, I am very skeptical that KamiNomi's relatively poor sales have anything to do with a lack of pantyshots. Plenty of shows with that kind of fanservice sell terribly; plenty of shows without it sell better. Personally, while I like fanservice, I think Kaminomi was better for not getting deeply into it.
Well, I don't mean thats the whole reason, I was just giving one example of how it wasn't pandering to the otaku. Though I've never read the manga, I've heard people say there were a few panty shots edited out in the anime.
Some others are that it could make Otaku jealous seeing one of their own getting a lot of girls, and that it has kind of a "Big Bang Theory" feel where they are almost mocking Otakus. Also in general Keima is pretty much an asshole who goes around dating girls and then dumping them the second they no longer help him in his quest. Not having a generic MC that the otaku can see themselves as kinda sucks, too.
Theres a lot of reasons I can see why Otaku wouldn't like it.

Well seeing how Yuru Yuri is doing great in the early preorder rankings and its another A-Channel type of thing, one would thing that the main slice of life show each season will get a lot of sales just because of the cute girls in them.

Also since Idolmaster will get much of its sales through the game bundle which won't be reported in the usual Oricon lists, vol. 1 numbers will be misleading.
I'd also like to point out that up until about 3 days ago, iM@S was sitting at number 5 in games on Amazon right behind Hatsune Miku Project Diva Extend since it was registered. For perspective, the original Project Diva sold 200k its first week. iM@S has fallen in the past couple days, but it's not a far stretch to say the bundle could hit up to 100k. 60-70k is a more realistic number though I think. I'm looking forward to seeing how iM@S vol 2 ranks when it's registered after episode 6 though. I'm anticipating somewhere between 30-40k in sales for the rest of the volumes.

Idolmaster is 227th in the preorder rankings.
At this hour. Keep in mind this isn't cumulative, it's recalculated every hour.
Also since Idolmaster will get much of its sales through the game bundle which won't be reported in the usual Oricon lists, vol. 1 numbers will be misleading.
Basically anything in the top 300 BDs is probably gonna do decently. But even a show ranking 5,000th now could win over fans later on and get a sudden burst in sales. Yuruyuri as back in the 400s initially, but lately it's been doing much better.
As for why BDs sell more, well special editions and the greater possibility Amazon shoppers have more money. Those discounts as well, I can't search any anime on BD that's recent without seeing it at a small discount.
I also think buyers who would buy a DVD over a BD may also be more likely to be B&M buyers. The online shopping otaku are heavily favoring BDs.
27% is the standard preorder discount for both BDs and DVDs on Amazon.
Well Amazon is a good place to buy books especially LNs. I get good and speedy notice on the titles I've already bought when new volumes come out.

Uh, not really. Dog Days only sells because of its godlike seiyuu-cast. That can really do wonders. (That's also why Hidan no Aria is way higher then it "should") This is a very japanese thing and has nothing to do with the quality of said anime.
There are plenty of shows with all-star seiyuu casts and they don't automatically sell 10k. It's sure not helping Nekogami Yaoyorozu's preorder rankings, which are the lowest of the Summer season. Same for Kaitou Tenshi twin Angel. Seiyuu move CDs, they have much less effect on anime sales.
Stop trying to rationalize your belief that if you don't like it, clearly everyone who does is somehow wrong. Or that your opinion has anything to do with "quality".
Twin Angel is borderline average/below average, Nekogami although pretty good is overshadowed by things such as Idolmaster.
jmal can I have the link to the preorder rankings btw.

What fanservice did MM have? I just remember being really disappointed by it since I went into it expecting ecchi but came out with it being an ecchi show without ecchi. All I can think of is maybe swimsuits, but what show with girls doesn't have that these days?
