Blu-ray
*3, *,852 *8,555 Tari Tari vol.2

*8, *,296 10,461 Tari Tari vol.1

Single CD
*3, *81,682 81,682 Mahou Shoujo Madoka★Magica Movie 1: Hajimari no Monogatari "Luminous"

Tari Tari v1 actually passed 10k? Wasn't it at 8760 last week? O_O Well... the source from Oricon does have it listed as selling over 10k, so that's good. Will Tari Tari v2 be able to reach 10k too?

Hyouka still very consistent. Fate/Zero II adds more... but still below Fate/Zero.

Happy to see ClariS sell so much, even if the popularity of Madoka Magica probably helped the figure along to some extent... Hope to see them sing more theme songs. Perhaps the OP for the 2nd Season of OreImo? xD

One thing I notice is that all 6 volumes of MADOKA rose back up in to chart Amazon JP anime BD ranking. Currently Madoka Vol.1 is #16 if you count only anime BDs that have already been released. I wonder if the longer chart that will be published this Friday will show Madoka in it.

So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Like which shows? O_O Which highest rated shows? All the great selling shows from 2011-2012 have sequels. (Haganai, Oreimo, DxD, Chihayafuru)

If they can give Haganai and DxD second seasons when they sold 10k and 8k, KuroBas second season is definite.

My guess is that they're waiting for at least 5 volumes to be released before they announce it.

(or) waiting for the manga to end

As Wario2 and NigeriaLisa said, dtshyk seemed to mistake the data for the new Morning Musume single as ClariS. MM is ranked 3rd this week and ClariS is 4th. The sales should be a much more modest 38,906. Still impressive, and better than their last single for Moyashimon Returns, but it is not 80k level (which is the level reached by Connect, the Madoka TV OP, after months)

Thanks for that. Yeah, I thought 82k was a bit much considering the SAO OP is at 78k atm after many weeks. I guess I was too happy to see such a number, lol.

It is indeed good to see it sell better this time... but Moyashimon Returns wasn't that popular in Japan, so there wasn't any doubts it would sell better.

What kind of show breaks 10k for the first time in volume 4 of 11? Hah. Very nice.

The best thing about that is most likely v1-v3 sold around that too.

So it is now clear the oft-mentioned exalted status of FOUR HEAVENLY KINGS 四天王 for this season belongs to SAO, HORA2, DD and TT. The interesting question is the closeness between the 3rd and the 4th places -- so will TT keep the 3rd place or DD2 will snatch it back after more data come in ;ater?

Infinite Stratos, AnoHana, Madoka, Macross Frontier, DRRR! etc. Those shows.

I've seen 2-4k sellers getting second seasons, yet, as i mentioned earlier, some of the highest rated and top selling shows haven't got any sequel whatsoever.
so KuroBas being a "definite" is far from true, and you can't compare it to stuff like Haganai or DxD since those are like an army right now, they're everywhere lol and they only keep growing.

If an anime is not based on existing material, chance for it to get a second season is lower, which can explain AnoHana, Madoka and Macross Frontier's lack of 2nd season.

Infinite Stratos is all because of the breakdown of relationship between the publisher and the author. Otherwise I am very sure it will get a 2nd season.

The only case that is less easy to explain is Durarara but it may be because I do not check news about it that often...

I think you can check the temporal ranking in this thread and find out. It is not difficult to guess as the names like DD and TT are made up of initials.

FOUR HEAVENLY KINGS means the four bestselling titles of a season, just in case it was not clear from my post.

DRRR! hasn't gotten an announcement since 2010.

Also what about Tsukihime, ToAru, the idolm@ster, etc?

guess we'll just have to wait and see, though my point was not to get any hopes up, i'm definitely not getting mine up, i don't wanna wait a decade lol

Tsukihime has adapted the VN until its ending, so it is the same as having no source material for adaptation after the TV series ends. If there is any new anime it would have to be something not based on the source material, though of course they can also redo the whole thing given there're so many people who dislike the adaptation.

ToAru has a 2nd season, right?

Idolm@ster is more like an original anime (at least story-wise) because the game itself does not provide a story like a VN does. But someone would actually argue that the recent Idolm@ster is a 2nd season because there is the XENOGLOSSIA earlier already. So at the end Idolm@ster only provides the platform of world settings for an anime with original story to build on.

The adaption of Tsukihime was horrible, they didn't explain a rat's hairy ass about the protagonist's powers, they didn't adapt arcueid's full background story, they romance was almost non-existant, it was total crap.

the thing about ToAru is that the second season sold better than the first, so third season where? lol

jmal said:
Idolmaster only finished a year ago, give it time. Most likely time for a sequel is when another major title in the console series is released. It makes most of its money by being a tie-in with the game after all.

Lol, well DxD finished only months ago and the sequel is already announced.
But i hope what you said is true, the franchise is pretty successful so it deserves a sequel.

Tsukihime hasn't even gotten into the actual story, the eroge is 50+ hours long, you can't adapt all of that in 13 episodes.

But the anime already reaches an ending. If you check around, VN adaptation like this does not usually get a 2nd season if the anime finishes the story, even if it means much of the VN is not adapted.

Downgrade355 said:

ToAru did get a second season, and the second season sold better than the first...Third season where?

For the good sales of the 2nd season it got a movie, right? Who knows if a 3rd season is being prepared after the movie?

Downgrade355 said:

and why is Phi Brain getting a second and third season when shows like the ones we mentioned are left hanging?

I think I have mentioned the reason in some thread already... Because it was an anime sponsored by NHK.

@symbv
Yeah, that's why i said the adaption sucks, badly, if you've played the VN you'd be raging day and night lol

So NHK has alot of time and money on their hands, eh?

Railgun sold better because people who buy BDs liked it better, and only a very small portion of the light novel fans bought the Index anime. For example, I imported Railgun but am, to put it very very mildly, not a fan of Index. For a number of reasons.

I see, it makes sense.

Kuroko no Basket not getting a second season wouldn't make sense, though. The story is not finished and they still have 2 main characters to defeat (Not to mention that these characters have top seiyuu). Plus, there was the preview. I'm willing to bet 100% that KnB is going to have a S2 sooner or later.

It doesn't matter if they're an army. fujoshi shows have an army too. gintama, AoExorcist, kurobas, sket dance, uta pri, hakuouki, inu boku are the recent ones. They are a smaller army than the otaku army but its still there.
besides, what does kuroko being from a nice market and dxd and haganai being in army have anything to do with a sequel in the first place?

If something sells, it sells and sequels are made. it doesn't matter if its otaku or fujoshi stuff.

The real truth is that we can only guess what goes behind the Anime business model. I'm pretty sure a lot goes behind before even announcing the adaptation, so we can only try to guess and wait. I'm almost sure that Kuroko no Basket is getting a sequel, because it has really strong numbers in all the media it has been released.

Also, some other franchises try to experiment with other medias (such as OVA or movies) to see if the market is still there, I guess.

I'm glad for Tari Tari, I think it was a great series and deserves it. I would love to see an OVA developing even more the last minutes of the last episode, but I don't think it's going to happen.

Just like BBC, supported by toll that is charged to every household in the country, NHK has no problem of time and money to spend on project they consider "worthy".

If you look at other anime sponsored by NHK, many get a second season (or more) but the BD/DVD do not sell well at all.
