Based on what i heard from my friend, Minimum sales that can be categorized as a successful anime is 10.000 copies/vol, less than it you can say it as a failure or mediocre.

PS : Tsuki ga kirei got 5k sales because they make it as "Box Limited Edition", without this "Limited Edition" i bet it ll go less than 5.000 copies

I wanna know Keppeki Danshi's sales. I'm buying the volumes for that and Hitorijime My Hero and it looks like I am one of just a few hundred :V

Oct 4, 2017 1:16 PM by Livira

Looks like no 3rd season of New Game, while the Symphogear sales are good, we're already getting a 5th season.

Oct 4, 2017 9:34 AM by Hoppy

Glad to see Princess Principal and New Game!! with good sales.

The expensive edition with the most bonuses. Not actually limited in quantity.

What kind of bonus? Extended fanservice included?

Event tickets, digipak packaging, bonus CDs and manga/novels, bonus BDs with extra footage. Not generally fanservice unless there is a bonus mousepad or something but that's rare. Any extra fanservice is usually on the main Bluray (no steam, anatomy details, lewd OVAs) which will also be in the regular edition as the content of the main disc is generally the same though the main disc may be 4KBD while the regular edition may be a regular BD or DVD.

Hmm. One notable favservice bonus with the limited edition was Da Capo III which had huge lingerie bath posters as the limited edition bonus. And perhaps the Super Sonico Figure could count as well.

Holy shit, Symphogear is in third place! Did the otaku community finally develope good tas- *SAO movie in first place* Never mind.

10.　*5,422　**5,422　Princess Principal Vol.1 Special Limited Edition

Very happy to see PriPri within top 10, we really need a second season!!!

Oct 4, 2017 1:31 AM by ecwarriorz

Symphogear saving summer since 2013, there was literally nothing this season.

Glad to see some shows doing well there. While I had some issues around the end for Princess Principal it was a good show and glad it is selling pretty well. Natsume remains pretty solid in sales. The power of SAO remains unstoppable.

While obviously there is good reasons for it, I am glad to see Symphogear sticking near the top there. Just kind of nice to see a franchise start out and grow to this point. Season 5 announced along with S4 is something to look forward to.

Not surprised that Katsugeki: Touken Ranbu is selling well...though I do think it was a pretty mediocre series.

Oct 3, 2017 5:23 PM by FlarisKnight

woow, a lot of my fav series are getting good sales,
SAO, Tsuki Ga Kirei, Hajimete no Gal, RokuAka, KNN, and Re:Creator

I hope with their good sales, RokuAka and Hajimete no Gal will getting a 2nd season >_<

Oct 3, 2017 1:55 PM by r16fourarm

125k first week for sao. Not bad !

Oct 3, 2017 12:39 PM by TapuTapuu

nice to see Tsuki ga Kirei there, I hope it will sell more

Wow. Despite not having the traditional concert scene in the first episode, AXZ is still able to sell that much on Vol.1. Looks like the fans were really forgiving about it. Now we wait to see how much the final Vol will sell...

Princess Prinicpal selling well as predicted. And being an original, I'm pretty sure a sequel will be in the works later on...

The actual live event ticket in volume one mattered much more than an animated live event in the anime, obviously. I am a big fan of Symphogear and bought AXZ v1 myself (next three ordered so far) but I'm not sure it really matters what happens in the anime. The franchise has reached the state where it doesn't even matter that season 5 has already been greenlit so people don't need to buy season 4 in hopes of getting a sequel. They buy it anyway. It has that much popularity that it hasn't even levelled off after 4 seasons. This is unprecedented though of course other series have had higher totals.

PriPri is original but the radio show said to buy the discs and play and pay the game if you want season two. The disc sales are good but not a slam dunk for a sequel. We shall see.
