Well, I think money is more important than sales numbers, don't you? Monogatari SS will be 3,000,000,000 yen if they can average a little over 40000 copies for 12 volumes. I say that is pretty darned good! We like to compare sales numbers but for the business it is the total revenue which counts.
Shaft and Aniplex can afford to make a few Sasami-san@Gambaranai series with all the money they make on Monogatari and Madoka.

^ Aniplex is like testing the fans if they will follow the gundam SEED path. Looks like the three producers (aniplex/kodansha/shaft) care more about money than being on top of some sales list...or don't care about the series at all.
And should I say these three monsters are busy with other cash cows? Aniplex has madoka, kodansha has the titans and shaft just got their drug fix from weekly shounen jump for doing nisekoi...

ServantxService v1 is dirt cheap, 4200 yen, 3100 yen with amazon discount. It only includes 1 episode but has bonus OP and Drama CDs, 3 discs for 3100 yen! This was the same with Working! So v1 will probably sell well, then drop after that.
SnK OP, Linked Horizon, looks like the long wait helped rather than hurt sales, pent up demand. Second OP not so good IMO but on the same disc anyway... hence the delay in releasing it.
I wonder how the Valvrave OST will sell? I really enjoy it but expect it will do nowhere near what SnK's OST did. The SnK OST is pretty much a song album while Valvrave OST is... more of an OST so may not sell as well but there are some very good tracks on it so I hope it sells well for an OST.
Will 12 volumes hurt Monogatari SS? I will buy it regardless but I wonder if some will balk at 70000 yen for the series. Steep but surely the first volumes at least will sell well, episode 2's steam guarantees that.

Had high hopes for the tarot card one and fantasista. Didn't even think it would be this worse.
On the other hand SnK volume 1 just hit the 11th spot on the yearly amazon. Past nanoha which as 60k?? IIRC? Wow. Looks like it will beat madokavol1 now. I can't still say if it will beat monogatari second season or utapri when the averages come. SUSPENSE BABY!!

Looks like Free/monogatari/HDD/Symphogear will be the top 4 this summer. SxS is climbing up as well but I bet it wouldn't catch free. Almost all of the other shows are doooown low on amazon. I'm expecting illya and nepnep to do massive sales but oh well.
Well, I have been thinking about the TOP FOUR the last few days. So far my view is: 1) Monogatari is leagues and bounds ahead as THE TOP; 2) The second tier is clearly HDxD2 and Symphogear2 - two episodes on and fans' verdict is that they are consistently great and in Symphogear's case it is even easily better than season 1 (and I have to admit that even though I am following 28 shows this season, I went back and watched Symphogear2 ep.1 FIVE times lol) 3) The fourth slot is trickier - I think Free, fate/kaleid, even Dangan Ronpa and Rokyubu2 all have a chance, and I would even include Tamayura2 as well (we know it has 4k+ solid fan base, and this may even be a case of season 2 having more fans than season 1, so I won't dismiss it so quick now). Service x Servant I would put aside as the ranking may look good now but the trend up till now is not giving it a lot of points in the Stalker.Looks like Free/monogatari/HDD/Symphogear will be the top 4 this summer. SxS is climbing up as well but I bet it wouldn't catch free. Almost all of the other shows are doooown low on amazon. I'm expecting illya and nepnep to do massive sales but oh well.
For me, I am more disappointed that some original anime seem to be doing really badly - Fantasista Dolls was tipped to be one of the candidates to sell very well in this season but it is now lingering in the bottom tier, and then there is WoKakeru (i.e. Genei wo Kakeru Taiyou) which fares even worse.

Also SnK and nekoshiro are doing a battle on amazon these few hours while steins;gate bluray box and akb are laughing at them. It will be a fun week.

So... anyone want to take a punt at what will be the top selling anime bluray in the next sales list? It's not exactly clear.
I'm guessing at Railgun, though.
Railgun BD Box top, followed by SYD OVA, then One piece film Z - LE, is my guess.

It seems the direct novel to movie adaptations and originals are sink or swim, either they sell like Wolf Children or like Letter to Momo, Asura and Rainbow Fireflies - Endless Summer Vacation.

Not at all, many movies fail to rank at all or get sub 1000 sales.

For the hike of vol.7 I think there was a few posts about it earlier in this thread, but in short: http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=628509&show=80#msg23411407What caused it to shoot up so high all of a sudden anyway? I legitimately don't understand these massive spikes sometimes. You'd almost have to be in Japan to understand what's going on to cause them it feels.
As for the huge popularity of the Love Live franchise, hpulley, Thanglong and Ejc have been talking about this for quite a while in the Love Live thread in News Board as well as the Love Live subforum - about the momentum of the franchise since the end of the anime. Basically although LoveLive has a fairly solid progress the last few years as a 2.5D idol movement with focus on CD release coupled with PVs in anime style characters (with a back story to tell). The real break came with the TV anime series. Here the full story of the background of Love Live is finally updated (with a few changes), finalized and fleshed out. The anime did a superb job in 1) making the character design so much more appealing 2) gave the characters a lot more cute and fun moments in various situations and encounters so that people start to feel they know the characters and get attracted by them - this made the fan art on Love Live explode in amount and help sustain its popularity after the TV series ended. On top of that, the franchise kept rolling out news about Love Live after the TV series ended: character election, new CDs, 2nd season announcement, live concerts, games on mobile phones, new merchandises, new collaboration projects. So the attention has never been moved off Love Live all these past months. This of course helps keeps anime sites and forums talking and BD/DVD selling.

So is Love Live just a merchandise juggernaut too? I know the character song discs do well but what else?
All kinds of things: stationery, poster/tapestry, key chain, games, trading cards, bags, candy/cookies, figures, calendars, novels/manga, art books, phone case...So is Love Live just a merchandise juggernaut too? I know the character song discs do well but what else?
Perhaps this can gives a glimpse (some non-Love Live products somehow got in the list too but anyway you can get an idea of the range of products Love Live has, and this list is just a partial list - anime stores like Animate or Gamers may have its own range of products too)

Wow I knew Love Live was popular (my one friend who lives in Japan most of the year teaching English told me what I saw on the internet here barely scratches the surface), but I didn't think it was so much so that it could join Steins;Gate and Macross in the top 3 out of the blue and even temporarily surpass Monogatari which most seem to feel will be the years top selling disc set. What caused it to shoot up so high all of a sudden anyway? I legitimately don't understand these massive spikes sometimes. You'd almost have to be in Japan to understand what's going on to cause them it feels.
