After that finale I am not surprised! I just hope they printed enough! My order is already in stock thankfully... if CDJapan would just ship it!!! Guess they have to wait for pre day.

Edit: 13th place!!!

Wait, there ain't no chart today? :(

Not a whole lot going on really: http://www3.atchs.jp/test/read.cgi/urisure/1358138212/348


Guessing that there ain't no char today either? It's reasonable I guess, since it's almost Christmas and everyone's busy on that occasion :p.

Just check the same thread, it updated every day.

http://www3.atchs.jp/test/read.cgi/urisure/1358138212/ Scroll to the bottom.

Yozakura doing terribly. As expected but still painful to see (and it'll be the best selling volume by a mile too!).


Monster U on top! Guess it's natural, since the holidays are almost here.

SnK and Gintama been alternating for a few days now! Not that I care much, since both of them are my favourite shows and they are both doing well!

It seems Meganebu! vol.1 doesn't rank, I wonder if it's going to be underestimated though.

Buying it at Animega gives invitation to an event which is going to be held later today and I think Animega doesn't report its sales to Oricon.

If you weren't so new, it wouldn't. This certain person has haunted ALL sales threads for several past months despite having absolutely no logical or in any way coherent basis to post his biased opinions.

KnK is outside the top 200 again(and has been since yesterday), it seems like a certain somebody was wrong again.

I don't really have much of an opinion about NNB BUT I would like to see something defy the "buyers choose early theory" not necessarily because I think you're wrong, but because it gives me hope that just because some series don't start of selling fast they may yet have hope...

Non Non Biyori has been ranking well for almost two months now, increasingly so every week. So I'd say it was showing signs of success early on. "Buyers choose early" isn't so much "buyers buy early" as "buyers decide what's in the running for them early".

I'd been lamenting the sub-par performance of v2+ lately, because we still barely if ever see them hitting the top 100, but I just compared Non Non v2 to Kinmosa v2 after equivalent points in time and Non Non v2 has like 1200 more points than Kinmosa v2 did at that point (2.8k vs 1.6k).

Sooo... maybe it won't be so bad? Kinmosa v2 held up okayish, 20% drop on BD from an event ticket and gorgeous artbox (that was ingenuously marketed with the reverse-side reveal right after the amazing finale) and I'm hoping Non Non can keep at least that much.

Just gotta get those Non Non v1 DVD sales... but like Kinmosa, I fear we'll be cheated out of ~700+ DVDs due to high thresholds.

Are the DVD thresholds on Christmas really that bad?

What was the threshold last year? If its below 1k, I think NNB has a small chance of ranking.

Okay, details details, but that's STILL A VICTORY lol. It suggests that some people still buy discs later, which is what I want to see so that I can still hold out hope for shows beyond the first few episodes (i.e. people who may buy are still watching).

I'm surprised Kill la Kill didn't get much of a bump (yet?) from episode 12 as it was really, really well done and shows how awesome it can really be. Perhaps later today.

Ugly day for NagiAsu. Barely charting on pre-release day.

Is Phi Brain heavily subsidized by NHK or something? Because otherwise I don't get why Sunrise would make another season of it if they don't expect it to sell well...


Yeah, it's essentially funded by Japanese taxpayers.

I've been wanting to ask. Why aren't Hajime no Ippo Rising and Phi Brain s3 up for preorders? Is there something special for these shows or are they the same as Daiya no Ace? Or is it simply because they haven't been up for preorders yet? Or maybe a different reason I don't know of.
Thanks.

Ippo actually just got put up a couple hours ago (DVD Box Part 1 / BD Box Part 1). Likely took so long because it's being released in sets. I've added it to the Fall list now.

Phi Brain, no idea, I'd assume either boxsets or rental only since they know it's not going to sell any discs.

With NNB now peaking at 24#, I wonder if it'll make the top before its release.
NNB really has a good finishing kick! And it is kicking my buyers choose early theory, this is quite a late surge. I enjoyed the last episode but I'm still finding it interesting that so many choose to wait so long to order it. Not complaining, just observing! Hope it stays up there for the next week until release... and Beyond! (Yes, I just watching Sillyrai Flamencawhat?).
