Combined first week Blu-ray and DVD sales for JoJo volume 1: 19,370

 

[Crash Station]

And with that, part 3 is all but confirmed.

Stardust Crusader.. are coming.

We already won

 

[BGBW]

Wait, who? What have they released?

Just a leg pull based on this name convention.

 

[Dresden]

After the tight pacing of Battle Tendency, the monster-of-the-week stuff in Part 3 (which, if they adapt it in its entirety should take a year) might be jarring for some people. Also imagine how bad its going to look.

 

[Kurtofan]

I thought JoJo are popular in France, with Araki working with couple of fashion brand there.

Not really, Golden Wind and Stone Ocean sold terribly, and the previous parts didn't do much better, with J'ai Lu stopping after Part 4.

Oh wow, second best new release of the season? Amazing.

...Where do you get the info?

 

[Reknoc]

The series will end with Joesph getting off the plane in Japan. It'll be like the Medaka Box ending only, y'know, it actually has a chance of continuing.

Ugh, don't remind me.

Aijimu ;_;

 

[fertygo]

Gonna be cool if they actually spend like 2 episode from this season for Stardust Crusader, which actually possible considering the pacing and they already leaking some design.

Eh, I really really like the end of Battle Tendency as a season ender, so I'd rather they didn't. I mean, it transitions pretty well into Stardust Crusaders on its own. Even with the current pacing (not to mention that they're covering at least 5 episodes this week) I like the predictions I made already.

Other new series for this week are italicized, because only JoJo deserves the bold right now.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Stardust Crusaders

Spoiler

and Diamond is Unbreakable and Vento Aureo and Stone Ocean and Steel Ball Run and Jojolion

here we come!

 

[Regulus Tera]

I hope the sales numbers at least give some incentive to David Production to ante up their game regarding the actual animation.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

That's a good number yes?

That essentially guarantees that it will be in the top 10 bestselling anime of 2013, few anime get over 15k sales per vol.

 

[Rewrite]

All the other parts have to make it! It's been such a ride so far.

 

[Boss Doggie]

You tell me:

Ahh I'm used to video game numbers lol

So it's all good then.

 

[LeleSocho]

Just give me Vento Aureo

Spoiler

and better animations please :3

 

[Somax]

Good taste in Japanese dvd buyers confirmed.

Now, go on until at least Steel Ball Run, thanks.

 

[Defuser]

I hope the sales numbers at least give some incentive to David Production to ante up their game regarding the actual animation.

If they able to achieve sales like this with this kind of budget, there's no point in upping the budget if Stardust Crusaders also sells similar.

 

[fertygo]

Its not my favorite part (its low on my rank actually) but Vento Aureo anime gonna be so cray, might be the most fitting part for anime.

If they able to achieve sales like this with this kind of budget, there's no point in upping the budget if Stardust Crusaders also sells similar.

I want to believe
But anyway part 3-5 are fans favorite in Japan, so maybe they must trying a bit harder.

 

[Envelope]

Wow, those sales are better than I dared to hope for!

 

[Regulus Tera]

If they able to achieve sales like this with this kind of budget, there's no point in upping the budget if Stardust Crusaders also sells similar.

I want to believe they wanted to do better but they just didn't have the resources. Then again, it is David Production.

 

[The Grim Heaper]

Great to see the BR/DVD release doing so well! I just want to see Diamond is Unbreakable animated, then I'll be set for life. Everything else is icing on the cake.

 

[SolarKnight]

I NEED my animated FF waifu though, then I can die happy. Although more balls never hurt anyone, so animated SBR and Jojolion would be quite appreciated anyways after that.

 

[Charoncaori]

Woo, my first blu ray volume came in! Haven't watched it yet. I guess I wasn't paying attention but it came with an OST disc, making it not completely a rip-off.

I have the first 3 preordered just because I like them a lot more than the manga for part 1. Not sure I want to drop that much money on the rest yet. =/ I wonder if sales are going to fluctuate much between parts.

Edit: I just really want it to continue so we can get more awesome openings.

 

[blind51de]

Well, I'm glad to see GAF is liking this show almost as much as I am.

I missed the delivery of my BD and have to run to the post office, damn it.

 

[Kurtofan]

I see what you did there.

 

[SolarKnight]

I'd be genuinely disappointed if nobody had.

 

[LeleSocho]

what? i don't see anything stra.... oh oooooooooooh
ehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehheheheheheheheheeh.

 

[Charoncaori]

Amiami just listed some new JoJo merch.

They have some boxer briefs with anime prints on them (I wish they had the manga ones!) and some sweet-looking stockings with manga designs of Caesar and Joseph. I don't think they'd fit me, though. ;__;

 

[SolarKnight]

I don't know how they expect me to not attempt to stab people if I ever get my hands on a PLuck umbrella.

 

[Cwarrior]

Is this meant to be good, it's no chance of it break a million at this rate.

Spoiler

 

[Boss Doggie]

Boxer briefs with manga panels would be hilarious

 

[SolarKnight]

Close enough

 

[Boss Doggie]

Joseph's balls huh

 

[Lirlond]

Can I get a Gappy version with extra padding?

 

[SolarKnight]

Can I get a Gappy version with extra padding?

Yes but you pad them

 

[Charoncaori]

Ughhh stop posting those, I have massive thighs so they probably wouldn't even fit me...

Spoiler

Or at least link me to somewhere I can import the damn things, I've only seen them on bandai's stupid premium site. ;__; I wanna wear them when I'm sharing hotel rooms at cons and creep my friends out.

Don't want to double-post edit:

Why the heck didn't I know about this?? ;__; I live in nyc, I could've just walked over to 5th ave and taken a look.

 

[Crash Station]

Yes but you pad them

But I don't have

Spoiler

4 balls

 

[SolarKnight]

Did they take those down already?

But I don't have

Spoiler

4 balls

Improvise.

 

[Charoncaori]

Did they take those down already?

I have no idea, I'm assuming they have a valentine's display up by now, but I've now made plans to go look for it tomorrow. If it's there I'll be back with pictures.

 

[fertygo]

Man I love Jolyne, she's cute as hell.. Shame in last 3-4 vol of Stone Ocean, Araki starting to forgot how to draw female.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

I think he's more than made up with the likes of Yasuho in recent times.

 

[laaame]

Did they take those down already?

The Gucci facebook page, linked in the news article, posted the JoJo collection on Jan 27 so I would assume it would still be in stores (man I felt so poor looking through that page ;_.

Another pic featuring Abbachio and Bucciarati. I assume the manga tie in to this is non-canonical?

 

[fertygo]

I think he's more than made up with the likes of Yasuho in recent times.

Yeah Jojolion's female look a lot more nicer than SBR.

 

[Boss Doggie]

Wait, those are in NYC?

 

[SolarKnight]

Another pic featuring Abbachio and Bucciarati. I assume the manga tie in to this is non-canonical?

Well, you could read it in the Gucci facebook and see for yourself. The answer is very, very no though.

Wait, those are in NYC?

Yeah, they are in Gucci stores all over the world. Who knows, maybe there could've been one near you.

 

[Kurita]

I saw it in Paris a few weeks ago.
