Guilty Crown, Last Exile 2 and UnGo still to come and I did see Maji de Watashi ni Koi Shinasai! in the 90's quite a bit.

Tamayura is getting up there too. In any case, there's still a lot of season to air. Anything can happen.

The usual slow first full week of the month.


Summer update:
Manyuu v1 does 2157/755 for 2,912.

Roukyuubu v1 adds 451 BDs, total is 6,896.


Spring update:
Qwaser II v4, final volume, does 527 RE DVD, 822 LE BD, 1684 E BD. Total 3,033. If you're wondering why RE dominated LE, that's because the LE is about $350. Final average, 3,048.

Sengoku Otome v4 does 873/564 for 1,419.

HoshiKaka v4 does 723/464 for 1,187.

Sekaiichi v4 adds 969 DVDs for 4,806.

Gintama' v3 adds 683 DVDs to total 14,127. Up over 9% on v2.

AnoHana v4 adds 569 BDs, total 27,180.

Nichijou v4 does 409 BDs in its second week, total 3,217.

Tiger&Bunny v5 adds 407 BDs to total 25,561.

AoEx v4 adds 372 DVDs, total 13,282.

Steins;Gate v4 adds 366 BDs for 16,457. 3.8% higher than v3's total.


Winter update:
Madoka v6 adds 788 BDs for 65,607. You know, even as much as it's below v1 in absolute numbers (more than 12k), it's only down dropped 16% off the first volume's total which would be a pretty decent level of stability for most shows, and there's only been a ±1% difference each time from v3 -> v4, v4 -> v5 and v5 -> v6. Average is now 69,477, come on 70k. It also passes the ¥3 billion gross sales mark this week, no other one cour show save Bakemonogatari has done that. Ever. K-ON! at ¥2.3bn is #3.

Not sure exactly, CDJapan says it contains Mafuyu and Tomo "Furupuni! figure series series EXTRA" figures though. Not sure if two figures quite explains ¥26,640 though. I guess if they're fancy $100+ figures each.

Edit: Ah Amazon has a packaging image: link. Two of each, four figures total.

Yeah, Im not huge into figures in general but those just look... kinda bad in general. I suppose I've never liked jointed figures anyway.

Someone posted a partial >100 DVD list for the week of 9/26. The first three had already made the Anime 30 list, this just gives us their precise ranking.

2011 09/26~10/02 >100 DVD List [with estimates in italics]
109 *,584 Gosick v6
111 *,569 Itsuka Tenma no Kurousagi v1
130 *,493 Kami-sama no Memo-chou v1
131 (*,490) R-15 v1
161 Dantalian no Shoka v1
175 Onigamiden
210 Kaitou Tenshi Twin Angel Kyun Kyun Tokimeki Paradise!! v1
300 *,280
*** Kami Nomi zo Shiru Sekai II v3
*** Hen Semi v2
*** Deadman Wonderland v4

R-15 v1 was literally one spot behind KamiMemo so presumably it did a very similar number of DVDs. I've estimated 490 then, bringing its total to 1,977. So it edges out Blood-C as the top of the non-RKB v1s for this week. For what that's worth.

Dantalian and Twin Angel probably did ~400 and ~350 respectively. Too imprecise to add to my lists though.

The ***s did under 280.

Dead week. Nothing was even added to BDs in the Thursday list. Very very rare that the top 10 anime doesn't even made the top 50 full list.


Summer update:
none


Spring update:
Gintama' v3 adds 349, total 14,476.

AnoHana v4 adds 357 BDs, total 27,537.

Tiger&Bunny v5 adds 253 BDs to total 25,814.

Steins;Gate v4 adds 206 BDs, total 16,663.


Winter update:
Madoka v6 adds 446 BDs for 66,053. It's only ~400 short of v5 now, but v5 did 1,919 copies in weeks 5-6 (bump from v6) whereas v6 probably won't even get a 5th or 6th week. Not a 6th at least. v6 is still the lowest selling volume even if it's virtually identical to 3 and 5. Actually, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are all incredibly close.

Infinite Stratos v6 adds 201 BDs, total 31,061 and overall average 33,659.

No v1s next weeks, and then we get PenguinDrum, Usagi Drop and Idolmaster (sort of...). Well, technically Morita-san wa Mukuchi comes out next week, I guess I can count that one.
