So the monogatari series as always are topping the sales. Not a big surprise there.

I'm kinda surprised Valvrave is bombing right there. I know its going to be lower than the amount the Gundam Series and Code Geass series sold but I thought it might just be around the 10k threshold.

The first volume of the 2nd season sold 3.8k, its hardly bombing.

Compared to other Sunrise series like Tiger and Bunny, Mai Hime, Love Live etc its pretty bad.

man sunrise is gonna be losing a ton of money because of buddy complex, its already clearly a high budget show from how the fight scenes look. but now the news that its a split cour series they are gonna be taking even bigger of a hit. I mean its not like the show deserves to sell well but still

If its the same release

But that's the question that needs to be answered. Either way comparing a reissue 8+ months later under different SKUs to lingering long tail stock from the initial release that happened to sell out after renewed interest doesn't work. of course they're different. The question is whether the reissue is similar enough to count in the average, or do in the re-release column.

Check the extras:

http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B00IUC0JY2
http://tinyurl.com/m9kfy2n

They're the same except for the event ticket. I'd say they are similar enough to count... this isn't just some bare bones re-release a while later like GuP was.

If you're not going to count these, you shouldn't count the extra sales its compiled last couple weeks either

There are reasonable arguments to be made in favor of including it but this definitely isn't one. This makes no sense.

Why isn't this one? You're picking and choosing which sales to count. Why are sales from now allowed but not sales it has in a few months? If its the same release, it should all count, whether its back when it first released, a few months later, or even a few years later. Its only should be separated if its being released differently, like with a lower priced box set or something. In reality, this is just a reprinting of the original series since there were stock issues.

Updated the winter 2014 estimates - link

Such a shame about Nobunaga the Fool. And dat' Tesagure! boost

Mar 10, 2014 2:09 PM by rederoin

The packaging is important in this case. It has all the important extras, tickets to past concert events don't matter. The CD bonus singles and books, digipacks are the important things compared to the REs which just have a standard Bluray box and a Bluray instead. They are even including the Loveca+ cards... It is not being re-released as a 'singles' boxed set in my mind as boxed sets never include all the bonus items.

Mar 10, 2014 1:39 PM by hpulley

Even if you don't count it, I and most people surely will. Its the exact same release at the same price, so its the same thing.... they're just reprinting it since they were low on stock. If you're not going to count these, you shouldn't count the extra sales its compiled last couple weeks either

Mar 10, 2014 1:10 PM by RyanSaotome

Hopefully they can add a few more thousand per volume and put its final sales into the mid 30ks

Mar 10, 2014 7:51 AM by RyanSaotome

Its currently ranked 1#, actually.

^ It's essentially the same thing, so it should be added to the running average. Vol.5 was out of print the last time so it ranks 4th on the pre-order list today. Spoiler for list.

Mar 10, 2014 7:34 AM by ThangLong

Love Live re-releases are now solicited. Will the re-releases be included and added to the 2013 Love Live average? Just like the GuP standard editions are added with GuP's average?

Mar 10, 2014 3:04 AM by volare1

True, but I think NagiAsu would also have a 2nd week in a normal week. A series needs to be selling badly for it not to get a 2nd week, unless that 2nd week is in a extremely busy week(threshold at 500/600~).

Man.....Tesagure 2 is really consistently ranking good. I hope someone will sub it for the international crowd. Show is really good.

Didn't notice RGZ is already solicited. It was 150th on the first day but 500th now. I hope it will sell decent.

It just got another boost

It will one hell of a death week.

Look on the bright side, doesn't this mean we have a better chance at seeing tails on the releases from last week? (NagiAsu plz!)

Loving Little Busters! EX if it wasn't for that the sales would still be about the same cause wasn't first season around 10k per volume as well?

For me it comes down to the questions of, can we compare her to Mizuki Nana? To AKB48?

Does it matter if the anime itself is going to tank? Are Lia's sales for Justitia going to be good or bad because of or despite the sales level of the anime discs for Wizard Barristers: Benmashi Cecil?

Aww come on though, do we really need to compare her to that kind of success? I guess at some point it may just be semantics/opinion, but isn't having more than a few 20k or more sellers a reasonable point at which you could consider her to be a very successful singer? Not a STAR perhaps, but still very successful right?

NICE POST. anyways, JOBLESS? visit us @ http://www.unemployedpinoys.com/

I didn't think it was particularly noteworthy, to be honest. Are you referring to one of hpulley or jmal's posts? Those guys are silly don't listen to them. Maybe you got low standards Advertiser bot erhem saskibrand.

P.S. Have advertising bots gotten smarter or something? Like at least this "user" posted something that could be vaguely relevant to a thread before switching to the advertisement lol.

Lol wow 7 releases over 20k and a lot over 10k is "fairly successful"? You've got high standards for success! Or maybe I just have low standards lol. I was under the impression getting over 20k at least once made you pretty successful, so 7 times seems impressive to me...

I don't follow music sales as much to know how this compares, so I just wanted to be reserved in my wording.

For me it comes down to the questions of, can we compare her to Mizuki Nana? To AKB48?
