Aw man, I was hoping Amagi would hit 10k. Guess it was overestimated.

Cross Ange outsells most things which is depressing. The new Gundam is pretty much a flop then. Not surprising.

Everything this year feels like kind of a poor performance, especially next to Love Live in terms of BD's. It's like everything is lopsided and whereas everything else is doing significantly worse than projected that's just a juggernaut.

Yeah, Gundam Reg outright bombed. Good thing it's only 26 eps and not 52 eps otherwise it would have been cut short ala Gundam X.

3k on its second week, not bad Yuuki Yuuna.

Currently it has 7.6k (+what, 500 DVD? It did not rank so its hard to estimate). I wonder if it will pull a number on its third week. Anyway, by now its already studio Gokumi's best seller, congratulations for them I guess

Yuki Yuna is doing pretty well, and Amagi isn't doing too badly either. Nice to see Cross Ange on the list as well, it's a good series. It's sales will hopefully be consistent. It's nice to see new series that aren't based on already established franchises doing nicely this week.

It is nice to see Amagi, Nozaki and Shirobako on the list.

Frozen's popularity is immense in Japan if it's sold that many discs and about to outsell Spirited Away.

Awesome that Love Live overtook the No. 1 slot from Frozen in this ranking!
Although I wish the number of Weekly Copies for it was a bit higher, I'm ecstatic that Amagi Brilliant Park made it on the list.

Awww, I really wished Amagi has gotten higher. It's still considered to be a modest hit though since the original light novels got a huge boost of sales, right?

On another note, damn Love Live is raking in everything! Kind of wished it became a runaway hit here in the U.S. instead of being relatively obscure. Who doesn't want see peeps cosplay as those characters and singing and dancing during conventions? Laughing

Love Live! on top where it should be.

Cross Ange does not deserve those sales. Amagi has pretty meh sales as well. It was a pretty meh show though. Fall is looking like a pretty 'eh' season though. YuYuyu is the only thing that might reach 10k for it's first volume.

I know Free! and Haikyuu!! got a wk2 on the DVD list. Hopefully they'll have sold a decent amount of BDs, but we'll see when the full list comes out.

Lol at G-Rekto. And to think the thing had so many pre-orders before the show even aired, then everyone saw it and cancelled.

Well at the very least NISA's first print run of their Love Live! S1 set sold out in only a week, so at least it's a strong seller. But yeah, it's a shame we haven't gotten much in terms of Love Live! over here yet.

I wonder if volume 7 will have a long tail similar to the first volume (volume 7 also has an ticket event application, right?). Granted, there's no way it would match the ~110k copies volume 1 sold, but it shouldn't peter out around 60k which would be in line with the rest of the volumes.

Its ranking in the top 20 on amazon, it ranking in its 3rd week is a very realistic exception.
