Im curious if there is any news as to how this show is doing at all......i mean i can pretty much infer this is bombing horribly but I'd rather hear facts than just make blind guesses.

I infer the opposite. The production quality has increased by a lot. And they seem to be entering a new arch. I think this is a surprise hit. I would like to see the sales data also.

First volume sold around 1,700 copies. I don't think it's that good, 'cause like 14 fall 2012 anime sold better than it, but it sold better than titles like Btooom! or Code;Breaker or Hayate no Gotoku, or even Shinsekai Yori, so it's not that bad either. Here is a list for the sales

I could have sworn i heard you need to sell more than that to make a profit, i remember people saying phyco pass was only selling averagely with around 4 K so 1.7K sounds really bad, especially since future volumes will likely sell worse

People were expecting more sales for Psycho Pass because of how good they find the anime (animation + plot) and how overhyped it is. It's a bit different for normal series with not much hype and average animation, like this show for example.

I dunno if the director and the staff of Ixion Saga DT were expecting some profit from this show to begin with, I mean seriously, who would even think of watching a show with this as a picture and those chara-designs? :P
It seems to me the staff is taking this project more as fun than just for profit, the show kinda gives those vibes, especially if you see the director's comments at the end and the comments of the voice-actors tsubasa brings once in a while to the discussion threads, and the interactions between the characters in the show itself too.

I believe this anime is more of a promotion for the online game, Ixion Saga, and just like a lot of anime with original sources, its main objective is to give the game a boost of sales, but I dunno if it's doing a good job in that or not.

Well I guess hopes for a second season are dashed.

Mandragon countdown site has it as 25 episodes so its ending this season wish it were longer though.

Yeah 300 copies per volume. Must have been a piss poor adaption to get that low a number. I personally found it average I only cared about Kira Kousuke (the little psychotic shit that was abused) and badass opening, but that was about it. xP I don't even know how well the manga sells for that series.

Well. For midnight tv tokyo series, there is hope. Kimi to boku sold less than 1k, and had second season. Same medaka box. So, in the end, It all depends of game sales, manga sales (if exist), ratings, time slot (some anime companies have "reserved" timeslot so they need to put something), etc. The only thing clear is that will finish with 25 eps, but don't discount a new season just like that.

I never really had hopes for a 2nd season and i dont see much point in a 2nd season from how things are looking ending wise. I'm just happy we even got a show to begin with cause it really filled the void gintama left whenever it went on re-runs, that and it filled the random comedy void too since gintama's new season was arc oriented and 1 of them was very heavy in dark tones
