Deremas Gekijou s2 v1 adds 475 BDs, total 9,570.
Summer update:
Youkai Apartment v1 sells 179 BDs, DVDs do not rank. No +/- estimates, because Stalker never tracked it.

Yowapedal New Gen v9, final volume, sells 800/587, total 1,387. Series average: 1,909. A big drop from the 6.4k and 8.9k of its predecessors, but this isn’t a franchise that relies on disc sales (as evidenced by Glory Line coming out next season).

Code Geass (45,423) is very much within reach too, though Macross Frontier (46,297) is probably a bridge too far.

OMGGGG Kekkai Sensen T___T, will this reduce the chances of season 3 ever happening since its a late night anime.
Was expecting a drop but not this much. I blame the lack of the catchy ending this time round.
The first season had the viral ending that made people curious to watch XD
I wonder if they printed an excess of dvds based on the first season sales ?
it’s a big drop but I wouldn’t worry about Kekkai since it’s based on a manga and the manga sells pretty good, correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think disc sales matter that much for anime based on manga/light novel (which are basically ads for the source material)
While disc sales are not the not the only thing that matters, they still do matter. The company that leads the committee (aka, spent the most money on the anime adaptation) is its video publisher, Touhou. They definitely care about discs being sold! Now if they’re smart they also get a big chunk of all the streaming/licensing revenue, which will help a lot. But if they decide they’re not making enough money, then other members, like Shueisha (who is third on the committee), would have to front more of the money to get another season made. And they might not see much reason in doing so – after all, a *third* season probably won’t provide much additional boost to manga sales. Certainly nothing like what a first season can do.
Despite the drop, 6k is still enough for Kekkai Sensen S2 to be considered a modest hit, as long as it keeps up that average. The problem is, v1 had its sales inflated by the event ticket. I just hope the post-ticket drop isn’t too hard. I’m more worried about Umaru-chan’s chances at a third season.
This can’t be explained by the event ticket, as s2v1 has one as well. And the *lowest* selling s1 volume sold 14,082.
Edit: Just realized you were saying s2v1 is also inflated by the ticket, not that s1 was only higher because of the ticket, nevermind. But yeah, it probably won’t drop too hard after the ticket… because it doesn’t have super far to fall this time. Maybe it’ll have like a 5k average.
Hopefully assuming shuiesha would want more, since its transfer its now in the top 5 of the best selling ongoing jump sq series.
Full list posted. I’ll finally do the long-overdue ranking summary updates this weekend.
