Anime Sales in Japan - 2012

Volume numbers added. Keep in mind that using these to calculate disc sales will fail to return anything accurate with anime released initially in boxsets (eg. Fate/Zero). This is another reason why I went for ¥/ep instead of total disc sales. Of course ¥ep can fail for short-format shows too (e.g. Hetalia). The "ideal" measurement is ¥ per minute of animation but that's a little ridiculous even for me.

I also tried to tighten it up in terms of spacing, because I often forget that most people aren't using a Stylish script that makes the post window expand to full browser window width on a 1920px monitor with browser zoom making it even smaller (my setup), so it was probably wrapping quite a lot for anyone using the default skin.

Live event +305 BDs, total 4,484.

Here's hoping we get a third season. It's my favorite in the ''group of girls doing cute things'' type of anime.

Ah, I see now.

You're right that Volume #'s do not always correlate very well with the amount of episodes a series has. I also neglected to consider the value of being able to calculate a series per episode gross. I can see how that could come in handy when comparing the profitability of something like the first and second seasons of K-ON. With the volume numbers now added I think the list is pretty much as complete as it could get.

Thanks for taking the time.

Oh, just reminded me that for some reason I thought I already had the ¥/ep calculation in the charts. I have it in my spreadsheet, but not in the post. Well, I probably shouldn't be adding it right now because here are so many columns already and it can be calculated..

Have you got any daily rankings on this week? I'm pretty interested in how BTOOOM! will rank though I'm sure that it won't get good numbers.

Neither format ranked on any day so far (20th-22nd) so I doubt either will. I don't even think either format will rank on the full list next week. It was on track for a couple hundred copies tops on Stalker.

Aaaah, that's a pity...
On the one hand I don't want for it to have anime original ending, but on the other hand - it doesn't look possible that we'll get 2nd season (and there isn't much material yet anyway).

Teekyuu's pretty great actually. Utterly insane, but well worth the 2 minutes a week.
