Apr 12, 2012 6:09 PM by Vigyk

Can I ask, if the sales requirements are the cumulative total of all the volumes sold or they are per individual volumes?

Amazon Ranking Stalker, or you can just trawl through Amazon's bestseller lists. Stalker is at: http://www27392u.sakura.ne.jp/index_news.cgi
That page lists 1) anime in the top 100 of all DVD/BDs, 2) all upcoming Vol. 1s on BD, and 3) all upcoming Vol. 1s on DVD.
The "points" (pt) column is the current estimate of what sales aree, based on algorithms that combine Amazon rankings with historical sales data. Just keep various caveats in mind, such as the longer something has been solicited, the more points it has (so don't compare something that's been up for preorder for a month with something that just got listed yesterday), and that sometimes the estimates can be significantly off, although they're usually pretty good.
Obviously the closer the release date is, the closer the points are likely to be to what Oricon will actually report.
thanks so very much again. is it updated regularly?
Its updated hourly

Yay Natsume!
*7, *4,588 Mouretsu Pirates

Moretsu did pretty good. I was honestly expecting Danshi to have more sales.

Surprisingly, the CDs are doing fairly well. :O

Rinne No Lagrange has 3000+ sales nice to see that, waiting for season 2
Yes, I hope it'll sell more than that eventually though. I think it deserves it.
*2, 10,547 Highschool DxD
I just...I mean...why?
Like, there wasn't even the excuse of wanting to see the uncensored titties as they were uncensored on TV as well.
Its actually a good show.
True indeed. I'm thrilled to see that it's selling well.

two words: sex sells.
more words: naked pole dancing, naked, boobs, more boobs.
it has story but I think the otaku in japan are buying it for the fanservice. could be wrong though.
if they could even make hina takanashi body pillows I'm not putting anything past japanese otaku.
(yea I tried watching the first episode but the ecchi threw me off. I guess it was a level of ecchi I couldn't stand.)
You're not even close. The series is based off a popular series of light novels which already has a large fanbase set. It's the same reason Horizon sold so well. Purposes of enjoyment are irrelevant as there is no direct correlation to sales and amount of sexual content.

I see, thanks alot. so i just have to put the japanese name of the anime in the upper right box and it'll give me the sales?
yes, sometimes it can give two links - one is usually schedule for publication and second one are sales

My fault on the sales part, I was actually thinking of the MAL viewers when I wrote that. And as I said, fanservice is not the only thing that sells, but it's constantly within the top sales each season. (There is also the Guilty Crown type of show and mecha series who often do well, but also often with unnecessary fanservice).
And unnecessary is the keyword for me here (Similar to degrees, but not the same). First of all if the fanservice is the main aspect of the show, like in 90% of the shows with ecchi and harem tags, I will always hate those shows. Highschool DxD is exactly that for example, or Kiss X Sis and enough other shows. I just avoid these, their superstitiousness makes me a bit sad when they have a lot of fans who don't seem to care about substance, but I generally don't bother with those shows except maybe poking here and there in the news forums like I just did.
Then there's fanservice that cou would call "well done", I would just consider it "fitting fanservice". When it's totally fitting in with the genre (which is NOT mainly a fanservice genre) and characters, doesn't make you bang your head against the wall because of how forced it is etc.. It is indeed well integrated in the whole complexity of the series. Lupin is such a case, but also the Monogatari stuff (sometimes borderline though, but I don't see the fanservice as the main aspect, but the dialogues. I wouldn't enjoy it otherwise). If I can enjoy or will give those shows a try depends on what they are about, though I only have few genres that I generally avoid.
And then there is fanservice in shows where I know that I would enjoy the premise and setting etc... of the show much more of some of the fanservice (or all of it) was substituted by more mature ways of depicting them. Highschool of the Dead is a classic case for that, but I would also put Inu X Boku somehow in this category. The whole supernatural mansion thing was interesting and I would have loved it if the tone of the show had been different. But as I said it's not mainly because of some fanservice, but because I personally can't stand that kind of character relationship/chemistry, so even if you say it's very well handled and developed throughout the series, that doesn't change much for me. Same would go for an incestuous relationship or any kind of harem, well portrayed or not. I don't feel obligated to go into further detail about why, it's just how it is.
It's all about if I get the feeling that the fanservice is included only because they think they NEED that to attract viewers or if it is included because they CAN add some to an already decent show to spice things up. I'm not a fan of either, but the latter just doesn't seem so desperate and it doesn't immediately throws me out of the "world" of the anime because it makes it so obvious that the people behind it are just fishing for sales with cheap methods. As for master/servant, incestious or harem relationships I can't shake off the thoughts that that's the main reason they're doing it, even if that may not be the case. It may be a prejudice, but one based on experience and even if I miss out a small number of good shows because of it, it protects me from a far larger number of crap I'd never want to touch. That plus the fact that I'm already open to and able to enjoy a wider range of genres than most other people, make me not very worried about that small, prejudical character flaw.
