It is nice to see Land of the Lustrous continue selling more copies. A sequel seems like a forgone conclusion.

Not-so-good numbers for Jūni Taisen.
However, Blend S seems to be having an okay run.

Monogatari domination! Look at that. Idolm@ster released this week. Always something releasing in the same week as Monogatari to try and stop it from being #1. Dat Fate. Keep on buying Yuuki Yuuna people.

Wake Up, Girls is doing WAY better than I expected. That show was a production disaster worse than most.
I'd be more sad about Juuni Taisen's numbers if I didn't already know the streaming was pretty strong, and that combined, it sold 1600 for the first volume, so it's not actually that bad. Probably will end up close to breaking even, at worst.
Also good to see strong numbers for YuYuYu and Apocrypha. Looks like a full box set for the sequel YuYuYu content, I guess? I think they already released the prequel on the movie BDs or something, so that would make sense. And is the only way I could understand labeling the release as such.

I believe the YuYuYu 2nd season listed here is just for the first six episodes of the second season. The TV version of the movies. This was listed on the charts last week, and I know they didn't release the BD before the last episode even aired. From looking on CDJapan, they have Yuki Yuna is a Hero: Washio Sumi Chapter having been released on December 20th(which would have been on the charts for the last two weeks) and Yuki Yuna is a Hero: Hero Chapter coming out on May 30th.

Agreed, with the way things wrapped up it’s just begging for a sequel. Vol 1 seemed to have some kind of stock issue on Amazon JP, and I got an email a week ago telling me Vol 4 I believe would have a bit of a delay. Don’t know if it’s production stuff or perhaps they hadn’t anticipated it selling pretty well. Anyways, I’m just glad it’s doing as well as it is.

I'm happy Fate/Apocrypha is doing well, considering how expensive those Japanese blu-ray sets are. 6,000+ copies aren't bad at all, despite how much fans whined about it online, it's still selling well.

It's because they are living in 2011 when a show had to sell 10k to be considered a "big success" and refusing to recognize that the times... they are a'changin'.
Fortunately for anime, selling 2k is now more than enough for most shows. And yes, 6k is quite good.
