Got excited when I saw DVD thresholds way down at 174, but the lowest wk1 (which is the number we need t lower the thresholds for the extended ranking) is 238, which doesn’t improve on 210. Damn.
Winter update:
AbsoDuo v1 sells 1089/377, total 1,466. Event ticket.
Fafner Exodus v3 sells 5818/779, total 6,597.
Kancolle v1 adds 375/178, total 23,322 in wk3. Unless it’s going OOS, that’s a major slowdown right there after 2k BDs last week. Now I’m not sure how much it’ll add in the extended weeks. Maybe another bump when v1 comes out.
Saekano v1 adds 348 BDs, total 12,334.
v2 adds 743 BDs, total 8,137. Kinda what I expected, better wk1 but it won’t be remotely as back-loaded as v1 was. Should be in the vicinity of a 30% drop in the end.
Boueibu v1 adds 364 DVDs, total 7,969. That’ll break 8k this week with BDs.
Shinmai Maou v1 adds 218 BDs, total 6,242.
AnsaKyou v1 adds 217 DVDs, total 4,076.
Fall update:
World Trigger v2 sells 854/414, total 1,268.
Fate UBW adds 602, total 36,094.
Shirobako v1 adds 269 BDs, total 14,848 in wk16.
v2 adds 244 BDs, total 14,534 in wk11.
v3 adds 270 BDs, total 14,290, which is exactly the same as v2 before this week.
Kimiuso v1 adds 202 BDs, total 14,725.
v2 adds 338 BDs, total 9,573. Currently 35% down on v1, will probably stay >30% off in the end, or very close.
Past seasons:
Sailor Moon Crystal v6 sells 324 DVDs, total 2,905 with the bD last month.
v7 sells 2,056 BDs, DVD next month.
SAO II v6 adds 365 BDs, total 17,863.
OVAs, Movies, Boxsets etc:
Persona 3 movie #2 adds 454 LE BDs, total 28,342.

And we start off Spring super early courtesy of that series with the CGI abomination action scenes, a fitting start to a season overflowing with CGI abominations.
No Majinbone average?
I only track kids/long-running shows on https://www.someanithing.com/2581 and only if it’s a franchise I see ranking reasonably often. I believe this is the first time I’ve ever seen Majin Bone rank in the weeklies. If it becomes a more regular thing, I’ll add it to that list.
I’m curious, when do the Death Parade BDs come out? And how do you think it’ll sell? I thought the show was good and well-made, but most of the time that doesn’t translate on high sales numbers.
June 17th, still a long way away because it’s a one-shot boxset.
It’ll sell pretty dismally. 2k seems like the upper limit, if it does better outside of Amazon than at Amazon. And it could be under 1k if it’s Amazon biased. But most likely in the middle, 1k-something.
I already know tomorrow is going to be another terrible day at work, so I won’t be doing the full list until Thursday night (or Friday depending on if I have another 11-12 hour day) this week either. I’ll link the jp forum thread and post the untranslated like usual tho. Pretty dead week anyway.
Alright, disregard previous comment, there were only 5 additional discs (three of them v1s) so I went ahead and updated it after all.
Oh wow, Shirobako didn’t even rank.
v4 you mean? Out of stock due to some extra. Warner is bad.
Yes, vol. 4. I know the reason, I would assume all the stock problems (or most) were resolved by now.. but not even close.
Even 1, 2 and 3 seems to be still suffering from them, I think (going by amazon).
What makes this seem even more ridiculous to me is that IIRC someone at P.A. Works mentioned that they expected Shirobako to sell more than Hanasaku Iroha. Well, so far, it has, so good for them. But if you were expecting high sales, WHY ARE YOU HAVING STOCK PROBLEMS?!
Depends who the “they” in “they expected” is. Doesn’t help if it’s the creative staff, it’s all about what Warner expected. And that would be driven by pre-sales, which weren’t indicating more than a few thousand initially.
I find the initial stock problems less egregious than the ongoing issues. While the show was still airing, we could attribute the 400-800 weekly sales to new buyers, but it’s over now, so by and large anything more than a trickle seems to indicate people who wanted to buy it earlier but couldn’t.
Maybe Warner can only get/is only willing to pay for limited time at the printers each week or whatever. I’m not sure how these things are ordered and how quickly they can be turned around.
Almost as many people are still buying Kimiuso v1 as v2 even though v1 has been out for 7 weeks? What’s so great about volume 1 if the event ticket is useless now? Is there any way to explain the tail on v1? Is it the price?
Price partially, but also simply people who hadn’t picked up v1 yet deciding to buy it alongside v2.
Checked the extended rankings for this week. About 50 DVDs and 100 BDs were new or added a week of ranking.
