I don't. It's clear that they've already used up all the material worth adapting.

How can loli conquest and sakura trick make such little sales? This confirms that japan hates good things...

While I'm perfectly fine seeing more of the same. Presumably they have a graduation arc in them anyway.

I believe that's in episode 13.

If we ever needed to be reminded about how terrible Japan's taste is, here's more proof... the best season in some time, and sales are that terrible? This is why we don't get fun shows all that often...
And on that note, D-Frag is great and one of the best comedy animes in a while. It deserves success! Not even charting... kind of tragic. The show needs more seasons badly, but it'll never get them, will it. Awful. Sakura Trick too of course; it charted, but not high, obviously. That show is proof that zero budget can still be great with the right subject matter. At least Saki S2 did okay, but even that could be better than those numbers... same for SYD.

It seems like they were pimping the romcom stuff in the PV more than anything else.

I guess Nisekoi sold quite well for an endless shounen jump show.
But the season is pretty subpar saleswise.
pizzaroll.
"Nisekoi"..."resolution"...
Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
I approve of the bolded. And the rest, but the bolded is most important.
Because it is wonderful, because it is wonderful, and because you need to see how deep the rabbit hole of bizarreness and idiocy goes.
Spoilers: It goes so deep. You are not even close to prepared.
Was it actually possible to tell any of them apart?
Even just watching episode 3 of Tamako Market 12 times would be more enjoyable than watching all of Free!
(I didn't even think Free was all that bad, but this is still accurate.)

Well with BD numbers Noragami could be something like 6k which isn't bomba exactly.
By their clothes and location, yeah.
Prelim sales list for March 24-30:
http://www.someanithing.com/?p=1155
Final averages:
- High School DxD New finishes up six volumes with a 9,001 BD+DVD average.
- Hyperdimension Neptunia clears its seventh volume for a 4,681 BD+DVD average.
- Tamayura ~More Aggressive~ takes a 4,245 BD+DVD average after six volumes, nano de.
- Silver Spoon S1 is still waiting for BD numbers on its sixth volume, but for now it's at a 2,098 average.
- Attack on Titan is just under a 50k average and should cross it with BD numbers from the full list.
Other notes:
- The Code Geass R2 BD-Box sells 12,135, better than the first season's box.
- Oddly, Kuroko's Basketball v3 debuts slightly better than either v1 or v2, so who knows what's going on there.
- Apologies for confusion about the GBF box numbers earlier, those are for the Gunpla-bundle LE only. The regular version should contribute another 2-3k sales in the full list.

This would be a fucking shitty April Fools joke.
This would be a fucking shitty April Fools joke.
Not trusting that news for a second.
It doesn't look like a joke, but it also doesn't say its a simulcast. The image is the first series. So... maybe they don't have Stardust Crusaders yet?
Did you like either show enough that you would pay US$66 per disc to watch them again?
It has nothing to do with the quality of a show, IMO. Although Anime Shouritsu seems to have stopped updating since 2012, according to the last sets of data he was recording roughly the same audience share watched a megabomb like From The New World as any other late night anime. The question is:
i) Is there anything you want to see again from the show in particular - whether cool action or fan service or whatever;
ii) Does whatever comes with the BluRay justify the purchase i.e. fan event tickets etc.?
Noragami and Inari, regardless of quality or otherwise, have no such hooks. They're just solid-to-good shows that will be forgotten in a few years' (months'?) time like so many others. Is there anything from either show you want to rewatch in future?

Why would it be a joke? I cant think they would be able to joke with a license and they had it yesterday that they would be annoucning someyhing on 4/1.
I imagine they have yet to determine when s1 episodes will be added and hopefully s2 wont be on some weird multihour delay.

Isn't that still kinda bomba disc sales for a Gundam series? 00 sold over 30k per volume and we don't even have to mention SEED... AGE was epic bomba though. Of course for GBF gunpla sales are the most important money generator though.

Yeah, yeah. Now I see why some were laughing when I said that.
Be nice if we can have resolution someday. That would be cool. Just like how I wish they reached a decent stopping point in Air Gear but that never happened. :/

So much feels. I hear good things about GBF. It's probably good time to watch it now.

Yeah, but its not placed as flagship titlte with how its airing on TV Tokyo instead TBS/MBS
and aiming smaller audience, I think they would happy with it considering that,
No Wizard Barristers?
Edit: Oh, I think that doesn't release till April 2nd. Vol. 1 isn't out yet I think.
It's not always comparable. The fact that it was released in box sets instead of single blu-ray volumes already indicates that they don't expect the same sort of sales as series targeted at older audiences with more serious content. The anime retail market is generally such a niche market that it is impossible to do casual comparisons to determine if something is successful. It requires understanding the business reasons for why a show exists to begin with, and sometimes that has nothing at all to do with the sales of home video releases at all.

Oh. Didn't know that. Well then it seems that those are pretty solid sales especially if they sold tons of gunpla.
Oh. I definitely knew that home video sales are not everything with many shows (those based on manga or those with a lot of mechandise like GBF). But yeah those sales for GBF make more sense after yours and fertygo's explanations.

I'm also surprised that anyone thinks that Noragami is a "bomb" in any sense. The cut off for the BDs this week is above 3k. Noragami certainly wouldn't have sold 0 BD copies, and based on pre-release tracking it looks likely to have sold 2-3k in BD. Adding that to the 3k in DVDs which actually made the DVD list this week, that's about 5-6k. It's not great for home video sales, but taking into consideration that the anime is sponsored to promote the manga, and that manga sales have doubled since the start of the anime, it's hard to see the series as anything but a commercial success.

In spite of being based on a Shounen Jump manga, Nisekoi is a late night anime, so those numbers aren't that good.
So enough to theoretically give me another season? I wonder how S1 did.
Man has yet to make anything in terms of video that I'd pay that much for. But then my desire for physical media is pretty damn low these days, at any price.

That's a strange example to get angry over. Of course Soredemo gets outsold by an adaptation from a vastly more popular source material.

Well, outselling 3/4 of all anime titles is pretty okayish I guess.
I don't believe that the production committee is unhappy with the anime sales or the 100% boost of the manga sales since the anime anouncement.

explaining gravy always sucks lol. on paper, shit is the most disgusting sounding shit ever.... but gravy is king.
Build Fighters isn't an otaku show, though - it doesn't air late at night, and actually selling disks isn't really the main intention behind it. The fact that it's shifting model kits by the truckload, particularly after the beyond lacklustre performance of Age in that regard, makes it about as successful, if not more-so, than it needed to be.
Folks need to be careful about reading too much into just pure sales numbers - I realise there's a temptation to use it as a barometer of success simply because it's the one metric that we actually get to see, but there's some shows which are never really expected to actually shift in significant numbers. Releasing the BD version of your kids show directly as an enormously expensive box set is a pretty clear signal that they were never expecting it to shift disks. Also see Precure, and note how they continue to make that show year-on-year even though the BD sets do nothing.
Sure, if something only sells a Fractale, and it's a shows that's difficult to otherwise merchandise, then it's probably a problem, but sales figures alone rarely actually tell the full story.
Even compared to Ayase? Girl's crazy
When she was being all cute cause her aniki wasn't home >_<
So adorable
So I'm currently playingin Senran Kagura Shinovi Versus and got to the part whereHomura's Crimson Squad's storylineMirai is washing everyone's laundry in a river, but before she does Haruka and Hikage's load she decides to try on their underwear.
Still unwashed mind you.
This gaaaaaaaaame!
Mirai did that?
Did she have cat ears at the time?
biscuits with sausage gravy is pretty amazing. One of the most filling things you can eat for breakfast.
tabasco sauce on eggs is great.
The Waffle house breakfast is ok but can do much better.
Nice choices here. Add also crawfish omelette, crawfish grits, boudin and cracklins, cafe au lait and New Orleans style beignets with powdered sugar, and wheat starch dumplings
