Madokami save us. The edit was within a minute of your post, and was made before I'd even refreshed the thread and saw your reply. And considering you said the same thing as before with slightly more words, it must not have changed enough to warrant replying again.
Maybe you think it was not changed enough to warrant replying again (begs the question why you felt the need to modify it), but I think the changes made after my reply needed a fresh reply.

Because I was on the road driving to work. o_O
Driving AND texting hundreds of characters? You are amazing. But that still does not explain why you chose to snipe at me on the use of "to cut it short" in my post instead of asking me the reason of bumping the thread at your first reply.

I let the previous version of the comment slide and declined to reply in kind, and thought we'd moved on to another much more interesting topic (the talk of Eva sales and distribution methods). And then all of a sudden you come back half an hour later to bump the thread with the same darn thing you said earlier. What the hell, man? What was the point?
Because you edited your comment after I made my reply and it is an edit that I felt I needed to reply. If you edited it and thought that the other would not notice then I suggest you think again.

And why didn't you ask this question right after I made my "to cut it short" post but instead sniping on how I did not cut it short even though the post you quoted was not part of my "to cut it short" post at all?

Uh, re-posting a longer version of something you already said less than an hour before doesn't really seem like cutting it short.
Well, my post that comes with "to cut it short" is indeed short. Have you gone to an end so deep that you stop thinking?

^ symbv, you've really gone off the deep end on this. Just go finish the weekly sales post.
To cut it short, I do not believe my explanation about researcher defending the research tool he uses is "gone off the deep end". If there is anybody who has "gone off the deep end", you might want to think about how you went ballistic by writing a long post just because of one brief observation I made.

Jul 23, 2013 5:53 AM by symbv

jmal posts so many useful links that my whole toolbar would be full of those if I were to bookmark them all.

^ you should bookmark the links provided in jmal's weekly post about full weekly list, seasonal averages, and top selling series too.

Whatever the form of the change, both of technology and consumer preferences, we are bound to get to a point where distribution methods are difficult to compare to disc sales as we understand them today.
Well, many people already say that the oricon CD charts are meaningless because the sales figure is influenced so much by factors not linked to the music itself. And many question why the digital download does not get an Oricon chart. It is a difficult question to answer, and I don't think there is a perfect answer either.

No, I just need to wait for my temperament and adrenalin level to come down. Short of some final check, the data have been ready for post for hours.

Quite possibly, because I imagine eventually anime will shift in part or in full to digital distribution, at which point sales data will either dry up or take such a different form that direct comparison will not be possible. In other words, the clock is ticking.
I think the BD model will stay for some time to come. The business model will become closer to the music industry - the extras matter more and more. In CD, "event tickets" included in AKB48's CDs give huge sales boost to their CDs. And this is despite the price of the CD in Japan still being very high. The same phenomenon can be applied to anime, and we already see how extras like events tickets, artbook, drama or music CDs, extra novel/manga are helping the BD/DVD sales substantially. I don't think anime industry will easily give up this "premium bundle" concept for BD and switch to a no-frill digital distribution model unless there is a way to extract sufficitn revenue from such distribution, which at the moment is still hard to imagine.

^ symbv, you've really gone off the deep end on this. Oh well.
Maybe, but seeing your recent action and (over)reactions coming from a new list added by Stalker, I have come to the same conclusion of you. And you keep coming back at this topic just goes to confirm it for me.

That person must've been a very massive fan of Shingeki and fully believed the tweets some DVD retailer made, estimating the sales to be around 100k.
There are more than one person saying that, and some were even from DVD stores so I would not say that all the estimation are just pure fans' wishful thinking without any basis.

jmal said:
You've conflated Stalker with yourself, to the point where posts that don't quote or reference you in any way can be considered "getting on your back" (as compared to you constantly directly calling me out as allegedly trashing Stalker), if they say anything about the site.
No, I don't think so. I never consider over-zealous skepticism against Stalker's main function as personal attack, but as I said before, if a researcher uses a research tool that is constantly being dismissed by someone who keeps throwing doubt at the usefulness of the tool, it is only natural for the researcher to defend the tool he uses. Making such defense does not mean he is a "fanboy" or unquestionably thinks the tool is beyond reproach.

jmal said:
That you can consider, even for a split-second, describing my views on Stalker as "radically skeptical and dismissive" is quite simply beyond any rational reading of the situation. You're either defensively exaggerating, or fundamentally misunderstanding the motives behind virtually everything I've ever posted about the tool.
Sorry, but some of your views, especially the recent loud and grand call of asking people to be "very skeptical" of an extra yardstick the Stalker adds, which is something that we seldom mentions or uses in more than very general and qualitative way, fits the description very well. I know your motives, but I think your motives are fundamentally misplaced, to the point of going to bewildering length to renew your call for skepticism.

I'm starting to doubt if it's even possible to beat Eva. Maybe Madoka has a chance in total income if the franchise develops well but reaching Eva's BD/DVD numbers seems impossible.


@jmal
That's why I only mentioned K-ON! and even that is a bit of stretch for two reasons
1) Other volumes should sell 40k or less for that to happen
2) K-ON!'s quite different from normal adaptations so I'm not sure if it's proper to compare them like that.

I didn't mention DB GT precisely because it only got 31,696 initially. It would be unfair to count re-releases when comparing to SnK.

Well, many people including me does want to see 'something' to actually beat eva with 100k sales.

Just glad that 'something' isn't SnK, which was obvious result anyways.

I'm SO glad Shingeki no Kyojin will not going to be any sort of record breaking thing or whatever. I've been seeing just so many people in here, other forums, Korean and even Japanese calling that SnK will do 100,000 sales and going to beat out of everything including evangelion and bakemono. It also proves that I was right about my own prediction that it will be having hard time even beating UtaPri.

Interest of 'Major' will never lead to interest of 'Minor' who are actually willing to spend money on.


Isn't SnK V1 the best selling volume of all manga adaptations? Or at least the best week one for a manga adaptation?
If that can be a record, meh sure. But definitely not a sales what 'some' crazy fans would be satisfied with.

I don't even know who spread the rumours of SnK selling 100,000 in 2ch. Kinda ridiculous.

Yes, SnK is indeed the best selling manga adaptation.


Edit: Keep in mind that it can lose to K-ON! average-wise depending on the drop of further vols.
