It makes me happy when something I like is successful. I'm not going to throw a party, but it's still a good feeling. I think that's entirely rational.

I agree :) plus a bit irrational, in my case, happiness to see some number and knowing that you are one of those people. Yeah weird but I like it :)
So onto figuring, once again how that system works (and crossing fingers that Pirates will make good sales so no brain in production will try to alter it, so it will be "more appealing").

On a side note, not about Mouretsu BDs but about CDs...
*5, 39,858 39,585 Mouretsu Pirates "Mugen no Ai"

Holy crap really? Was it by some famous mainstream act... ::checks:: Ah, some idol group that's had pretty good success in the past. That makes more sense.

I'm one of them who bought that cd...haha... ♥ The video is cute!

And wow Inu X Boku 6k preorders? Yep this week in my life is going great.

Why is your week going great because someone else's product is selling?

Wow Uta Pri ! *o* I AM SO FREAKING HAPPY! Let's hope for more otome adaptations in the coming year and so on!

And even though I'm a girl, I'm very happy about PapaKiki. Infact, I want a second season for both PapKiki and Ro Kyu Bu! I think, with luck it'll come true.

Both PapaKiki and Ro Kyu Bu are not that high on fanservice which is good for me and both actually have a plot....well in PapaKiki's place I'd say good characters too.

is Mouretsu Pirtates that good? Will watch.

And wow Inu X Boku 6k preorders? Yep this week in my life is going great.

And Nirvana sold well too yay!

peace out~~~

Why does the price matter? Thats the normal price for a 1 cour series in Japan... it just typically isn't all at once.

Nope. But 500 x 40000 = figure out how much it is. I am more surprised by the sales, actually. I did expect high sales, but not 40k+ from the first weak. Plus, we are not done yet. People sure will buy this later, too. Not like F/Z doesn't deserve it tho, I am happy it sells well in Japan. Now I can safely assume that they will do a decent second season.

Fairy Tail sells that poorly..? I didn't know. D:
But, the Fate/Zero sales are really nice, I though they would be lower, but still, really nice~
And lol for Kill Me Baby; some people even buy it~ + Papakiki sold okay, though also lower sales for it.

I think anime like fairy tail, one piece, naruto and other long running mainstream series are more concerned about their rating than the sales

although still good sales will always good in term of profit.

Fate Zero seems to do good and I very much like the sales of Natsume Yuujinchou too.

Poor KMB...

Fate/Zero!! That's what I'm talking about.

Fate/Zero deserves it!!!

Everlasting GC lost to Pirates - lol
Fate/Zero - that was predictable.
I'm glad PapaKiki sold so well

I know I shouldn't be surprised anymore, but fucking Horizon at 3rd place? Sigh.

True, it should be above Persona.

Althouh it might betray my love for P4 (game) but yes it should be above

Mar 13, 2012 4:33 PM by articuzwolf

NATSUME YUUJINCHOU SHI, YES, YES. Hotarubi no Mori E would count towards funding more Natsume Yuujinchou too I wonder ;x . . . Or perhaps animating another one of Midorikawa-sensei's works too, which would make my year.

I'm very disappointed with Mouretsu's sales. It picked up in a huge way in the rankings on Amazon in the last month, and had a solid 19-30th place for days around release. The only things ranking above it were Nise, UC, Persona, and Horizon for the most part. Then it turns out to not even hit 4k BDs... the turnaround it had done in the rankings really had me optimistic when I usually try not to be overly so

but weren't there some problems in availability of this? I remember some bump in sales at one point. Still as you've wrote pricing policy is a weird.
I don't know... still hope that it will go up as it deserves (with my favorite example - selling less than Tamayura, it looks strange a bit).
But still buying it :)
