Anime Sales in Japan - 2012

[RyanSaotome]

I've noticed Dog Days' has been up for over a day, even long enough to accumulate some Stalker points. Isn't it supposed to be taken down by Aniplex? Is this a sign that the dispute may be nearing its end?

I'd love to think so, but Utakoi, KoiChoco, and Moyashimon are all still unavailable. I'm not sure why DD' would intentionally be made an exception, although that would be incredibly convenient for me.

Sometimes it can take a while before the listing is taken down. For some reason, NatsuKise volume 4 was available for pre-order for like a month before it was taken down.

Sadly I can't order it until late August, so I doubt I'll get *that* lucky.

SAO just got listed and is immediately unavailable. Should only be a matter of time for DD'. ;_;

I wonder how many more days in the top 10 does the first volume of Horizon II has. If it were to stay in the top 10 till release (there's 0,0001% chance of this happening), it would pile up something around 38k points, so it's bound to fall to the 50's or even lower at some point in time. I'd say it stays in the top 10 for one more week with something like 15,000 pt, then falls and resurges to the top 10 again in the second week of september.

No Thursday updates, which means only 10 animation releases in the Top 50 BDs.


Spring update:
Hyouka v1 adds 559 BDs, total 9,455. I wasn't sure it would get a third week but thought it had a good chance, so, hooray.


Winter update:
Mouretsu v5 continues the first week BD increases with 6,826. I bought two! Because one copy of the wonders contained within was insufficient.

PapaKiki v5 BD and v4 DVD, which make up the final volume, sell 2816 BD and 369 DVD, total 3,185. Final average: 3,470. All things considered could have been worse, should be about 3.5k after next week.

Nisemonogatari v3 adds 1144 BDs, total 56,684, Down 2.9% from v2 at this point. Quite consistent really, only down 11.8% from v1's total despite being largely unavailable at Amazon.


Past seasons:
Persona 4 v8 adds 480 BDs, total 25,497.

Gintama' v12 adds 344, total 11,003.


OVAs, Movies, Boxsets etc:
n/a


No first volumes next week, then it's Accel World, Medaka Box, Kuroko no Basuke, Sakamichi, and Shining Hearts.

It's great to have a third week for this one. Let's hope for the best for the following volumes.

I'm a part of this now! Too bad I bought vol. 1-4 too late for them to be include in the total.

Nanoha 2nd A's was #5 for its opening weekend, with a take of ¥122,348,667 on 50 screens. For comparison, 1st did almost exactly half that, and overall 1st took in ¥380,000,000. Though it's somewhat expected the sequel would be more front-loaded, that's still a damn good start for A's.

Update 2012/07/20
http://0taku.livedoor.biz/archives/4247582.html
The movie is now up to ¥157,155,300, I guess with one extra day of takings reported.

Update 2012/07/25
http://archive.2ch-ranking.net/movie/1343213594.html#61
Total is now ¥267,193,204 after about two weekends, 11 days total.

Update 2012/08/02
http://archive.2ch-ranking.net/movie...45994.html#664
Total is now ¥339,012,000 after about ~3 weeks. Only ¥40m short of the first movie, so it ought to pass it soon.

Update 2012/08/08
http://archive.2ch-ranking.net/movie...71890.html#818
Up to ¥388,327,800 which means it has caught up to the first movie. We'll see if it keeps ranking or not.

Update 2012-12-14
http://yaraon.blog109.fc2.com/blog-entry-13426.html
Final total according to this list is ¥550,000,000.
