| Heart no Kuni no Alice out of nowhere. |
| It's damn great seeing Hellsing Ultimate at the top spot. |
Dusk252 said: Nice to see that Persona 4 is the top seller of this Fall season. That gives me some hope that its amazing predecessor may get animated in a near future. (Though it's still just my hopeful thinking.) Well, theres a chance Fate/Zero can top it when it finally goes on sale in a couple weeks. Its projected about 40k atm. |
 |
| nice that Hellsing is there!!! as well as Guilty Crown getting 12k sales and as usual Gundam Unicorn tops them all lol i watch the first episode of persona 4 and the animation quality very much like a naruto filler episode visual experience lol, why do people like this show if it has that kind of pathetic animation? anime should be watch mainly for its animation since anime just means animation in japanese language anyway |
neurogal91 said: Because clearly that story and plot isn't worth watching for if the animation is bad. But seriously, if everyone should watch anime because solely of animation, then Guilty Crown should have sold 50k+. But it didn't happen, so your regular anime fan appreciates a good plot as much as good animation, thank you very much. you mention Guilty Crown, so that means Persona 4 has way better story and story execution than Guilty Crown? |

dtshyk said: *8, *,844 **,844 Yuri Seijin Naoko-san (2012) Ouch, Anime Bunko. I'm scared to find out how much Minori Scramble and Gyo actually sold. |
neurogal91 said: As I have never watched (or even played) Persona 4, I have no comment on that. My point simply is that anime fans loves good story executed well even if it has standard animation more than top-notch animation without a good story. you have no point unless you both watch Guilty Crown and Persona 4 then, just try watching the first episode of Persona 4 and first episode of Guilty Crown then tell me who has the better plot and plot execution later on, because for me Persona 4 is no way have a better plot nor better plot execution than the hated Guilty Crown so for me Persona 4 has low visual quality and have mediocre story |
| so yuruyuri doing good. from the title imply, like the mild yuri anime. |
| Wow, I never expected Yuru Yuri to be doing well. That's nice to see. |
Kiru_im_Ufo said: PointmanW said: you should know an anime made from a popular game that have 300,000+ Sales in japan would have Guaranteed Success Bullshit. Having fans is one thing, having an adaption succeed is a completely different one. A good example would be Umineko. Yeah right, look at aaaaall those fans and how the anime flopped. P4 simply is a VERY good adaption. That's why it sells. Its writing basically. (Because fans know the story and the visuals seem to be not too good either..) Guilty Crown is the complete opposite. It looks nice, but the writing is apparently atrocious. (Writing, not story mind you. The story is very much a matter of taste. The writing.. not so much) Umineko doesn't have that much of a fanbase anyway. Persona 4 is much more popular, so it would sell regardless of it being bad or good. |
neurogal91 said: And that's when you misrepresent my argument. I merely refuted your point that people should 'watch anime because of animation only' (in your own words) and my point is people who watches anime prioritize good story more than animation, because anime is a form of story-telling, not just to see beautiful pictures animated and moving around. Because if people watch anime just to see beautiful pictures, then Guilty Crown should have been a hit success among the fall animes (as it has supposedly top-notch animation), but it isn't. and i understand this really, i know that good story is the main factor of why most people watch a movie or a series and im just part of the minority that priorities animation first before the story, but read below neurogal91 said: Whether the story and execution of Persona 4 is better or worse than Guilty Crown is irrelevant to my point. But based on sales people loves Persona 4 more than Guilty Crown even if it has mediocre animation, so it could be Persona 4's story is executed better than GC. my point is that you should not jump to conclusions that Persona 4 has indeed far better plot and story exeuction than Guilty Crown so im daring you to just watch at least the first episode (or first 2 episodes) of Guilty Crown before you judge that Persona 4 has way way way better plot any movies and tv series that is popular does not mean it has good plot, remember naruto? remember bleach? and all their fillers? i bet you still love those anime that has lesser episodes but they are not so popular |
PointmanW said: no you are wrong, Umineko and your top 10 VN are Visual Novel, Persona 4 is a JRPG. VN doesn't have much loyal fan and mostly played by otaku alone. while Persona 4, a great and famous JRPG that have much bigger loyal fanbase, played by normal people and gamer, not otaku alone so when they see their favourite game get an anime adaption, they will get curious and buy it even when they never seen anime before, that alone enough to boost the sales. good point, now i see why Persona 4 sells so well eventhough it has mediocre plot and a very poor animation quality |
| Persona 4! |

| *1, 2,591 *,**2,591 Hellsing Ultimate vol.9 Limited Edition |
It's great to see Hellsing Ultimate and Guilty Crown selling well.... |
 |
| @jmal I agree with everything that you said about P4. A pity sometimes people don't seem to WANT to understand and interpret clever posts. |
| It's true that P4 sold more than 40k in the first volume but I believe the 2nd and 3rd only sold 20-30k And with amount of fanbase that its already have, it should be able to sell more I guess Seiji Kishi combined with AIC are not a good combination (I heard there is also a lot of problem during the production period) |
| Congrats to Hellsing. I'm glad to see the Papa no Iukoto song "Happy Girl" up there. It's actually probably my favourite OP this season. ^^= |
jmal said: This is unprovable. It's not possible to calculate the sales a show "should" get. you can say P4 (or F/Z) was the most anticipated anime last fall due to the strong fanbase they already had. It's true that we cannot calculate how much 1 show should sell. considering large hardcore fanbase its had, it should be able to do better (in v2, 3, ...). lack of 'eyecandy' animation might turn the gamefans and a lot of people off, that is might one of many reasons why there is so significance drop from v1 to v2 jmal said: I'm guessing the production committee might not agree. It's always possible that a different creative staff could have made more. And it's just as possible they could have sold less. what I'm saying is, there is a rumour that a lot of animators quit during the pre-production of P4 and the result is you can see a lot of people complain about the animation quality why are they quit again? I can only think there are problems between them (animators) with the Director (Seiji) or the Studio itself (AIC) jmal said: In any event, debating whether a show would have sold 30k or 35k or 40k or 45k is very much splitting hairs. It's already unquestionably in mega-smash-hit, top-5(orbetter)-sales-of-the-year territory at any of those numbers. yeah P4 is definitely gonna grab at least top 5 position in terms of sell in 2012 (currently on 3 with Nise and F/Z in the 2nd and 3rd position respectively) |
articuzwolf said: It's true that P4 sold more than 40k in the first volume but I believe the 2nd and 3rd only sold 20-30k And with amount of fanbase that its already have, it should be able to sell more I guess Seiji Kishi combined with AIC are not a good combination (I heard there is also a lot of problem during the production period) this is some BS that you randomly spat out P4 selling better than Sengoku Basara adaptation that its game sell much better than P4 game. And have you ever heard Tales of Abyss anime adaptation sales? Its barely selling.. and the anime produced by Sunrise and have larger fanbase than Persona. So that argument about adaptation source popularity determine the anime adaptation success just trash down to toilet. The fan must like it too if they buying, they would not buy random ass adaptation such like Majikoi anime, but I'm sure Majikoi anime can sell a lot better if got treatment that Clannad or Steins; gate get. |
 |
| Still mostly crap from places 2-12 of Autumn season. I wonder how high Fate/Zero can rank when it's released. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| im SO sad,this will probaly be the last time in history that FMA will make a list :(...........ILLL MISSS YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU ' ' ' on a better note YAY FOR EVOL! |
 |
jmal said: Nothing else slated for 2012 so far really screams "massive 30k+ hit" to me quite yet, but there can always be surprises. Watch out for Natsuiro Kiseki. Its got some serious talent behind it (director of FMA, script writer of Cowboy Bebop, series compositioner of Monster, character design of Railgun), yet its a moe show. I don't think it'll be just a normal moe show with that kinda talent though... so I'm thinking that might be one of the big hits of the year. |
