Are you serious another season? I'm quite happy by this news :D
I didn't like the first season that much, but the second and third just blew me away, especially with the improvements of animation.

I guess you just meant sales under 50K are not exceptional but anything over 10K is a hit in anime so even 'just' 13K for S3 is a great level of sales. Only a small percentage of anime shows sell 13K

2015 had a lot of shows over 10K (14 for sure, perhaps as high as 18), but that is out of 143 shows! So only 1 show in 10 has sales of 10K or better. 13K sold is still exceptional. Symphogear should be #11 out of 143 for the year, that's top 10%.

The median sales for series in 2015 was 2,356. That's normal sales, not 13K. Even the first season of Symphogear at 5K was not at the normal level.


I see.. this is very informative. I admit I only look at at least 30k up for BD sales for the past few years Thanks a lot!

Nice stats, thx. Hopefully studios aren't at net loss if they always hit around the 2356 sales, seems low.
I love this quality wreck show, just need to catchup on more fists, justice and Hibiki shouts.

Increasing from 5K to almost 9K to over 13K is not normal at all. Most series do the reverse, losing sales every season.

That sale figure is normal... I was just curious why this series already has 2 seasons announced with that kind of sales. True BD sales is not all, but it is a gauge to see how well a series is selling and also a way for the studio to make the biggest return of investment.

Not nearly that high but increasing which bucks the normal trend:
Season1 Season2 Season3
5,043 > 8,701 > 13,347

Also remember that it sells tens of thousands of CDs every season as well as having large sold out concerts and there is other merchandise. It isn't all about the Blurays these days.

Congrats with this show for having another season! Can someone give me information about the average sales of this series? Like is it near the normal 50+K sales of Love Live or 40+k of bakemonogatari? Thanks!

Nitta Emi's producer is Elements Garden who does the music for Symphogear. When I heard the B side of her first single I immediately thought of Symphogear and I think Emitsun could pull it off but who knows. For Symphogear Live it is good to get experienced seiyuu who do big concerts and LoveLive's Muse certainly fits the bill. Nanjo is great as Shirabe. We can dream...

I know. And because of it would it match to SZS, and additional I do think, that except Emi-chan still Mimori Suzuko fit would the rolle as antagonist - Because they having more experiences in this genre as the other girls in LL!

But to be honest, I can also Taneda Risa-chan imagine in that skin - Because you've her e.g. in GATE look, then you her as badass villain imagine...

Now that has been announced, it remains to know what will be the next voice actresses (singers) that will be part of the cast. Can you imagine if producers decide to put a new rival for each of the characters !?


Probably the from Love Live! or from Idolm@aster - it'd be epic, if they the antagonists voicing would...
