Anime Sales in Japan - 2011

[something]

http://jbbs.livedoor.jp/bbs/read.cgi...308416464/2255

This is getting a little far off the normal topic but I found it kind of interesting. As far as I can tell, it's a list of doujins at Toranoana, listing 1) how many are ero, 2) how many total, and 3) how many are targeted at women, however that's supposed to be defined. This is for 2010. Honestly I have no idea how accurate it is, but a quick google shows similarly formatted lists for 2008 and 2009.

All / # 18+ / % 18+ / # aimed at women / % aimed at women / Title

5806 1068 18% ---- ---% Touhou Project

*104 **49 47% ---- ---% Fate/Stay Night
*103 **58 56% *103 100% Ookiku Furikabutte

So... beyond Touhou and Vocaloid, women totally dominate the top doujin scene properties. Well, at least at Toranoana in 2010, and according to this post which I can't verify.

Top 10 most ero properties were:

*168 *151 90% ---- ---% Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawaii Wake ga Nai
*189 *169 89% ---- ---% Dragon Quest
*174 *142 82% ---- ---% Evangelion
*201 *159 79% ---- ---% Love Plus
*136 *108 79% ---- ---% Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu
*747 *553 74% *726 *97% Code Geass
*459 *329 72% *459 100% Lucky Dog 1
*138 **98 71% ---- ---% Bakemonogatari
*215 *150 70% ---- ---% To Aru Majutsu no Index
*489 *318 65% ---- ---% Precure

Somehow I'm guessing it's not Precure's normal target audience buying those. =D And oh OreImo, you so naughty.

^ Not surprising, I imagine the only doujin most males read are hentai; other than that, only women really like reading an original story by someone other than the author. Well, not "only", but a lot more women than men do anyway.

Also,

I wonder if there will be a boost in sales for vol 1every time a new volume is released?

That's a special edition of Nichijou volume 1 that includes an extra set of cards. To distinguish between stores Kadokawa chose different hiragana and Amazon apparently got ka. As for why it's popular, I would suppose the 500 limited production would be a main cause. They probably didn't have enough card sets to meet their pre-orders and had to make a separate item of it.

As for Madoka v1, yes I'd imagine each volume sees a small bump. I'm sure it was the same for Bake and K-ON!

Probably 495 of those are people canceling their normal orders and reordering this (which I'm not doing at this point because it'd be a pain in the ass, it's in a big order and I just placed another big order grr) and the other 5 are people who would have bought in a store after release date, so I doubt Nichijou will see much of a bump from it.

It would be pretty interesting to see this sell out and then compare to total sales. If Amazon accounts for 500+ of like 2,500 or however many BDs this sells, that'd be quite a big chunk.


Oh, and gotta love that one final "fuck you" thrown in there by the discount only being 24%, so you have to pay a little extra for it.

The Amazon special edition version of Shoushitsu was only 20% off retail price, which made it 1500 yen just for the steelbook so it's not just this time they've required extra for a bonus from Kadokawa.

Is there a post detailing the sales of the movies released in 2010?

T&B RE ranked again... So does Madoka 1-2. Obviously, this is Arietty's week, although I have no idea if these sales meet expectations or not. Comments on Yaraon are implying definitely not but I don't know if it's serious. Dead slow otherwise. Next week will be utterly ridiculous however... the 30/10 lists won't even be enough at all. Too bad they didn't stick some of them in this week.


Spring update:
Tiger&Bunny v1 adds 599 RE BDs. Total 23,975. That's probably pretty much all the REs that exist...


Winter update:
Kimi ni Todoke 2 v4 adds 668 for 6,491.

Madoka Magica v2 - adds 627 BDs but is still ever so short of 70k. 69,969.


Past seasons:
SoreMachi v6 starts at 1,558/563 for 2,121, the first time the DVDs have ranked in the top 100, although v5 could be estimated at about 550. I doubt this will rank again so the final average is 2,169.


Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica:
Vol 1: 74,718 -> 75,182 (*8 wk) - adds 464 BDs.
Vol 2: 69,301 -> 69,928 (*4 wk) - adds 627 BDs.
Vol 3: **,*** (** wk)
Vol 4: **,*** (** wk)
Vol 5: **,*** (** wk)
Vol 6: **,*** (** wk)


OVAs, Movies, Boxsets etc:
Arietty does 36,667/127,365. I guess if there's still one thing selling overwhelmingly on DVD, it's gonna be Ghibli. Total 164,032 first week. I guess the LE and RE on Amazon were counted as the same SKU, otherwise they would have both easily ranked.

AsoIku OVA does 2,339/812 for 3,151.

This is incredible...it might actually end up outselling AoEx...

Also, I find it funny that the Nichijou card game skew will end up with nearly the same amount of points as the normal skew had by the time they go on sale on Thursday. I guess everyone who purchased the original BDs really did cancel their orders and bought the card SKU instead.

Not specifically - I don't track OVAs and movies very closely, but the Suki thread is probably a good enough resource for the most part (though it's a bit behind on Trailblazer because of the recent ranking of the DVDs again; I've accounted for that below).


825,601 - Evangelion Shin Gekijouban: Ha (Evangelion: 2.22 You Can [Not] Advance)
351,082 - One Piece Strong World
222,152 - Summer Wars

105,594 - Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha The Movie 1st
*69,636 - Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works

***,580 - Planzet
***,574 - Miyamoto Musashi -Souken ni Haseru Yume-

*36,411 - Macross Frontier: Itsuwari no Utahime
- Oricon only reported on the DVDs because of the game (or demo if you prefer) bundle. Opinions vary on how many of the 200k-odd copies of the game would have been reflected in a straight BD release. But a reasonable estimate should put it comfortably in 4th I think.

Note, I just took whatever eggplant had marked "Movie", didn't really second-guess it.

Pretty insane year for anime movies. I doubt there's ever been 7 (8 with Frontier) over 100k in one year.
