I guess it's because Japanese guys they are into games more? I'm not sure but there is tons of adult visual novels.
I would say it is rather mobile game.
Eroge market is declining in market size for years already.
Yeah, app games mostly, and PS3/4, Nintendo etc

Season 3 was fine, season 4 was shit. It's up to you if you want to watch them all.
The sad differences between male and females :(
Females had a decency to spend a lot of money for things they like, while male can't be bothered to waste shit ton of money to buy those bluray disc, really the otaku financial state is the most concerning matter regarding anime industry right now.

The Manabi Line or break-even line is just a 2ch tradition from back in 2007. Since there are so many different revenue streams nowadays, it's quite silly to believe that a certain amount of discs sold equates to a break-even or a profit when every anime project is different. There isn't enough transparency from the production committee of each anime project to even know such a break-even point.
I see what you mean the overall anime DVD/BD sales are so low, with a few exceptions, the can't rely only on that...

im aware that disc sales is not the only source of profit and success for the anime industry (even though disc sales is still has the highest pie when it comes to source of profit last time the anime industry made a yearly report), i just fail to add break-even profit in disc sales only there

After so many seasons, Uta-Pri is still selling like hotcakes. I guess it's high time that I start watching the series and indulge myself in bishounen madness.
That said, I'm honestly surprised at Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru's sales. It seems like an anime that just passed by. Lol
only watch the first two seasons
What happened to the rest?

Utapri is only selling well because of the lottery ticket included with the DVD/BDs lmao. As usual.
Tourabu also has a lottery ticket I think?
Pretty much everything has some sort of ticket nowadays though some are better than others. Lotteries for concert tickets seem to be the most valuable though with Love Live and UtaPri.
Jan 17, 2017 1:17 PM by daggerswithroses
I was actually lowkey waiting for UtaPri to crash under 40k, but they managed to hold it. lmao But unless the 'new anime project' is surprisingly good, I don't think that its sales will hold out for too long, at least for the franchise's standards.
And maybe that 70k vol 1 for YoI that I was waiting for won't happen. :T At least not while it's appearing on the weekly ranking.
