However, they don't get all that money even though we pay it out. Stores such as Suncoast that charge, say, $29, get a large chunk. I don't know, but I'm guessing the companies only get about $10 per disc, before production costs. I'd definitely be curious to know! |

Now I am curious. Got Remix yesterday. Does the 1 million include how many copies retailers obtained of Remix as well? |

Remember this accounts for all 6 volumes, and probably the movie and best sessions release. If Bandai released a $40-5- set of the entire season, it could outperform mainstream dreck like deuce bigalow and such.

I doubt it. I'm guessing they're counting sales to end-users only.
You didn't think retailers would get it in the same day it hits the street did you? Or did you not know Abel was one? |

As Kazuki said, I'm a vendor so that is how I get certain releases early. 
With my workload what it is right now, I am a bit behind on adding other titles but Cowboy Bebop Remix Vol. 1 is now available on the site. We'll probably be sold out in a couple of days though. -_- |

Congrats to bandai... Cowboy Bebop is a very popular series in the U.S.. Glad it hit the 1 million marker... I would be curious how many other anime series/movies have reached this amount...
As someone mentioned earlier, the series was not that popular in Japan. Half of the series was deemed to "Mature" for regular television. So only half of the series(random episodes, not in order) was shown on regular TV in Japan. The whole series was released on DVD and aired late at night on a Japanese Satelite channel (it may have been WOWOW). |

It was aired after midnight on regular TV too, just not during the first run, and the whole 13 episodes on TV, 13 more episodes on DVD thing was a gimmick/experiment. Also they were aired in order, just not in what we consider in order. ie. not 1,2,3... but, 2,3,7... Edit: forgot about the 6pm run. |

Uh, small nitpick: Bandai Games has been an independant intity of BAI since March (or was that May). They are now a wholly owned subsidary of Bandai Co. |

I would guess for TV shows they would probably be: Pokemon YuGiOh Dragonball Z Neon Genesis Evangelion Rurouni Kenshin Inuyasha There might be a few more but I need time to think about them |
