Wow, Free! is doing well! Not bad at all. And seeing The Devil is a Part-Timer! up there with the list makes me quite happy as I hope and pray for a season 2 someday.

Mixed feelings here. My favorite show from Spring "Devil is a Part-Timer" is doing well but my favorite show from Summer "Watamote" is doing quite poorly.

I kind of expected Watomote to do poorly to be quite honest. Just doesn't seem to be the kind of show that would appeal to japanese folks. Maybe because the show is a spitting image of themselves in some cases?
Nah...... |

I'm a bit surprised to see Symphogear G reach the third slot. I didn't think it would be faring that well since I didn't often see people that would be interested in this show.

Symphogear rides on the popularity of its seiyuu, particularly Nana Mizuki. Its first volume actually sold a lot more but that had an event ticket bundled with it.

I'm disappointed by the low sales of Symphogear(compared to v1). Now I doubt it'll reach a 10k average, although it seems it'll reach 9.7k~.
Not that it really matters, the series mostly exists to promote the music, which is selling really well. The BD/DVD sales are only a bonus(a huge bonus in this case) No new anime volume's next week, it seems. It will be a boring week.
4# only sold 1.6k, it was not that hard to reach 3# in a slow week like this, even series that are doing badly can reach it. |

I thought Watamote is doing well since it's on the list. Not Free! well, but within market expectations. What's the standard here? |

It's on the list because the first week of the month is a light release week. People generally consider 3000+ copies as the baseline for doing "okay". I don't know how much hard data there is to support that as a line for success though. |

It only sold 1.3k, its doing really badly. The rank of a show is irrelevant on the weekly list, unless its outside the top 100(since it won't rank, and thus we won't know the numbers).
Why would it be on the list? Last edited by Rederoin on Tue Nov 12, 2013 11:13 am; edited 1 time in total |

My copy of Pom Poko should be arriving today along with some other stuff. Besides that and Madoka Magica nothing else on that list excited me enough to buy. Lately I've been buying the older anime that I intended to get but missed out on preordering (Tiger & Bunny, Sacred Seven, Natsuiro Kiseki, etc). Have a few more Studio Ghibli films coming next month and maybe a BD box or two...I forget exactly.

"Doing well" is a matter of relativity. ~1500 volumes is usually considered doing very poorly, regardless of where it falls on the list.
Unless they're supported on their manga, you don't normally see shows selling under that number getting sequels. |

I might try to go back and see what kinds of numbers there are for this. For instance, what are the chances of a sequel if a show hits 3000, 5000, 10000, etc. I know it "makes sense". I just don't know if anyone has sat down and crunched the numbers. The other problem is also obviously that we don't know how much the shows cost to make. 5000 for one show might be a modest success, while 10000 for another show might be a loss of money. |
