Glad for Free! sales.
i don't even watch Free! when it aired.. I just recently watch it last week.

It unexpectedly good

Glad to see Love Lab has decent daily rankings in its first 3 days. I was worried it might be overestimated by stalker but it looks like it'll at least meet the projection if not be slightly underestimated. Still though, this is a discounted first volume with the OP single, so I imagine its difficulty will be in retaining buyers for the rest of the release.

Huh, would you look at that. BroCon volume 2 is not doing as bad as expected, in fact, it's doing much better than I expected. Maybe it'll do 5k first week?
Volume 3 is slowly picking up the pace on Stalker as well.

Sep 22, 2013 1:12 AM by phoenixalia

Love Lab v1 being close to Majestic Prince v4 does not bode too well for Love Lab. I have a feeling that the Stalker estimate of 3.3k may actually be an overestimate...

Still, shingeki no kyojin, one piece and DBZ movie makes a lot of money.

I just noticed Short Peace is finally listed for Blu-Ray release for January 2014. This could well be my most anticipated animated movie release of the year and has been on my radar ever since I found out one of the shorts in it's collection, Combustible, was on the shortlist for the 2013 Oscar Nominations for best foreign short film. That's something that doesn't happen all that often these days if ever really with nods for those very often going to French film.

Again though that's why at the end of the day despite some of my bluster I don't place THAT high a value on how well a series does and you won't see me cheer leading too much when something I really enjoy like Shingeki no Kyojin actually does well and you definitely won't hear me saying something like, "God I.G Finds A Way" or some sort of similar mantra.


Well, in that Shingeki no Kyojin had sold several million volumes before the animation was released and was hugely anticipated, there really wasn't much need to be a cheerleader. All the fans were hoping for was that the animator wouldn't screw it up totally. So that isn't exactly the same thing.

But wouldn't you be happy if Gin no Saji actually sold 10K? Free fans are happy that their show started at 3K and ended up at 25K. Who wouldn't be happy? I was overjoyed that GuP beat SAO. I rooted it on here because for me these successes help to ensure that companies will continue to make offbeat shows (and because I think SAO's adaptation was really poor). Animation would be even worse than you think it is if only safe shows like Shingeki were made (and this is not to knock Shingeki, but just the attitude of only going for shows with mainstream popularity).


I would be incredibly surprised and probably fairly hopeful but I'm also a realist that realizes that it simply does not have the right mix of elements to ever reach those numbers. Being deliberately paced, off beat, having well realized and eccentric characters and capitalizing well on themes is simply not enough, you need the right look and names to attract the buyers. It also doesn't help its case that it has next to no fanservice and attractive characters, its pretty raw is best I could describe it, pun not intended.

Fujoshi strong. Hate Kyoani after Tamako Market and Free


Dude don't *sunglasses* rage on!
YEAAAAAAAAAA- Okay that was stupid I apologise.

I'm a big Kyo-Ani fan, they made my favorite anime series(Clannad) and my favorite anime movie(The disappearance), so I am always happy to see there shows doing this well. Tamako Market wasn't bad, it just wasn't really trying to be anything other than moe cuteness which in the end made it both boring and unsuccesful, so I was reallly glad when I saw them take a risk with Free, which is why I am so happy that it is doing well for them.
Free doing so well also gets me more exited for Kyouki no Kana next season, considering how well the action was animated in Chuunibyou, and this show just seems like that with more action.

P.S. I did, and still do find the manservice in Free absolutely hilarious.

Low tier sales chatter is always interesting and oft unexplored subject. Sadly though they tend to include the series I tend to most enjoy any given season. I think the shows that interest me the most tend to usually fall in around the 2-3K range on average. I wish shows like Gin no Saji would get more love from buyers in Japan but at the same time I think it's a boost the manga series profile type of anime.

Glad to see these on the list, wishing for not too bad a drop for Rozen Maiden v2. Suigintou cover has to be worth something!!

I hope Chihayafuru box 2 keeps the 3K average for season 2.

Forecast for Gin no Saji is 2.4k with half the sales in BD and half in DVD. Makai Ouji has 3.0k estimated and 70% of the sales from DVD. The ranking so far, in an average week, is not inspiring. And Kitakubu and C3-bu are not to be seen - not surprising but would like to see how bad the notorious C3-bu is going to do....

I am very interested to see how the next batch will do though:

Love Lab (forecast 3.3k)
Fantasista Doll (forecast 1.3k)

Don't expect to see Inu to Hasami ranked though....
