Season 2 for both of these when?

Well both still have enough plot material left for a second season especially Haganai, but Idolm@ster's ending leaves room for a 12-13 ep S2, providing A-1 don't screw up and make the setting of the second season a year after the 1st season and remove Azusa entirely from the series, leave my dear Azusa alone she's still young.

Does anyone know of a place that lists how all the (or well, ones that sold enough to rank) various Vocaloid releases have sold? I haven't done a lot of research but it really seems like Vocalodream has to be one of the best selling of the various compilation discs. I guess leading off with Senbonzakura and Kagerou Days didn't exactly hurt its prospects. I'm pretty sure the 100k+ the debut supercell album sold is still the highest as far as albums go, but that wasn't a compilation disc like this Vocalo-* stuff.

The top seller of all the Vocaloid related CDs is "Vocalonexus", which was sold 81,988 copies. The total sales of the Vocaloid CDs are estimated to be 500,000 copies. 16 vocaolid CDs were sold more than 10,000 copies.

It makes me happy to see Natsume and Hotarubi there. Brain's Base and Midorikawa are a great combination.

They never said anything about it openly, no. Just one day all of a sudden S&H behavior changed. I think it took place in mid-to-late November going by when the shift in my orders' behavior occurred.

Yeah, I hadn't ordered anything since those Natsume BDs, so that would fit with my scenario. I order from them sporadically, so I didn't have many previous orders to go by and couldn't quite figure out what exactly had happened.

jmal said:
The other change they made back in late 2009 or early 2010 was to no longer allow combining of orders. I've heard people say that option has returned (haven't attempted it myself yet), but not for all orders, so it's hit or miss.

This is really interesting and good to know. I've never found myself needing it, but now I'll keep in mind it isn't something to expect.

Nice to see Code Geass in there. :D

Feb 28, 2012 3:29 PM by soulless4now

Very pleased to see Haganai doing so well. Here's hoping that they'd finally give us an announcement for a second season. Also glad to see GC up there.

i c code geass is still selling

There is supposed to be a new Akito trailer with it. I hope someone rips and uploads that soon. =D

I love the boxart for it, but sadly I can't afford R2 prices anytime soon plus it is not even subbed. T_T

VGChartz tracks them.

Ah, from what I've read VGChartz is supposed to be a bit iffy for international software releases, at least after the first week. Hard to know what to make of that, especially with how different Vol. 4's sales progression is. I do figure anyone buying it for the anime would have bought it early, at roughly the same schedule as the normal BD release. Anime almost never sells 50+% of its discs after the first week.

Well I won't say VGChartz is 100% reliable, but is there any proof that its not like 50% of the sales during the first week? As far as I know, we never get any numbers other than when it charts on Oricon... so a series can still be selling like 400-500 a week for a few months, and nobody would know.

Gintama' is 2*!!!Great!!But I still don't understand why Guilty Crown is ranked so high up...

Also I'm amazed at how consistent the Idolm@ster sales are. It'll likely sell at least another 15k in G4U (as the others have all averaged 15-20k), so that puts up at like 25-30k for a 5th volume. I'm surprised it hasn't dropped off.

Vol. 2 was only 23,315 combined, but Vol. 2 G4U was supposed to be supply constrained, or maybe sales just didn't pick up until later weeks, which didn't get reported because they were too small. I'm guessing we never got any kind of monthly update for any of the G4U volumes? Just first week sales only?

VGChartz tracks them.

No numbers for vol. 5 yet, though. Vol 2 and 3 got up to around 40k eventually.
