Can we just all laugh out loud @ Haruchika selling less than Glasslip (584 first week)?
Why would an anime selling badly be funny? that's toxic imo

Also I was not thinking movie production company invest anime to promote movie .
What in my mind is movie production committee (yes Japanese movies have them just like anime) members and anime committee members often share a lot.
Mar 30, 2016 12:00 PM by umashikaneko
We are talking for success of anime as anime production committe members right?
Alot of people here are talking about success of anime Erazed as Not just disc sales but whether production committee satisfied or not.
people who are bringing up manga sales and viewer rating are aware of KADOKAWA/Fuji TV /KANSAI TV are member of production committee just like ANIPLEX.
We are talking about success of anime Erazed whose production members are consists of TV station/manga publisher Then viewer ratings and manga sales are also important facters of anime success just like disc sales
That answer is completely different and unrelated to your first questions.
The production committee and anime does NOT get any money from the manga afterward. BUT... but the manga publisher would consider the anime a success if it increased the sales of the manga. Aniplex, however, would not consider that a success. Aniplex would only consider good disc sales to be a success.
Can't you see the difference?
Similarly the TV station cares about the TV ratings and would consider it a success if it got good TV ratings but the publisher doesn't care about TV ratings, nor does Aniplex other than the fact that good TV ratings _might_ mean more people buy the books and the discs. Might...
I totally agree with You and that is exactly what I was talking about.
As I said I don't expect KADOKAWA distribute manga sales to ANIPLEX or Fuji TV,just anime success is depending on manga sales too when publisher is production committee member
Also anime production committee member(KADOKAWA ) does get money from manga sales afterward
Mar 30, 2016 10:39 AM by umashikaneko
The anime committee doesn't 'leech' off sales of the manga or the movie. You have it backwards here. The manga publisher pays INTO the production pool to have the anime made BEFORE IT IS MADE but this price is fixed; it is not attached to whether the manga sells more afterward.
Unless the live action movie producers want to put money into the anime to help advertise their movie, the anime will get nothing from the movie. It is not uncommon for anime to advertise the movie but that fee is likely too small for them to be considered part of the production committee. Money the movie makes later is generally not a factor in any of this.
The anime is made on its own as part of the franchise but it is not the franchise itself. If Erased the anime only makes 0.1 billion yen then that is how much the anime made. It doesn't make money from the manga and the movie, they make their own money.

i mean leech off as whether production committee memberKADOKAWA satisfied or not is depending on manga sales ,well it was wrong word maybe ,I don't expect KADOKAWA distribute manga sales to Fuji TV or ANIPLEX

In other words,0.1-0.15 bn yen in disc sales is manabi line for 12 ep anime.
The question is how much can anime production commitee leech off from sales of manga or movie.
Erased manga sales is 1.7 bn yen
Erased movie sales would be about 1bn yen(0.2 bn yen in first two days)
Erased disc sales would be about 0.1 bn yen

The mangaka doesn't make much money from the anime or the movie either, usually just a small manuscript fee and some small royalties, much lower than the amount they make per book sold. They and the publisher still benefit the most from a boost to the manga sales.

The movie is live-action, which is not produced by the anime production committee. Also why should we care about the disc sales for this series? The anime covered the entire manga even though it was rushed, so there won't be another season.

>what is a Noitamina anime
>why does viewership matter more to that block than disc sales
>did the manga get a boost
>does bd sales equate to success
when you answer these questions you will realize why Erased bd sales didnt matter.
To add on this.
-Aniplex made this two boxes instead of 6 volumes because they knew it would undersell so they're trying to maximize profits with only two releases.
-There were never any plans to make an anime until Tomohiko Itou personally persuaded Aniplex produce the anime which means Aniplex never saw it as a potential moneymaker.
People who are saying it's because the japanese didn't like it or it's complete shit are idiots talking out of their ass. All too many times we've seen plenty of good shows get shafted when it comes to sales. BokuMachi just doesn't have the pandering elements that other shows like Konosuba have and doesn't appeal to otaku that way. The manga received a good boost and the live-action movie is performing well so the project was a success.

In terms of disk Sales they are low, but it seems that by next week at least it will reach the Manami Line(Manami Line is an heuristic that represent the amount of disk sales necessary to get even in costs and earnings). So not a success, but not a total flop either.
It's the Manabi Line by the way, and it was more of a tradition that originated on 2ch in 2007. Also, the Manabi Line is technically not 2,899 (it was always based on Vol.1 sales, not the average sales of Manabi Straight) anymore. Due to the discovery of the Oricon extended rankings, the Manabi Line is around 3,400 in reality.
EDIT: It is somewhere between 3,400 and 3,407:

Using 彩雲国物語 セカンドシリーズ 第10巻 and 朝霧の巫女 四, since we know precisely what their Oricon sales are.
