And "The Seven Deadly Sins." It's a shame that "Blue Exorcist" ranked lower than them though. |

Seeing the My Hero Academia series doing so well puts a big smile on my face. I am really happy for Horikoshi, the man really deserve his hit. He created one of the best Shonen series afte all.

YOI has only beaten Love Live for a 6 month period not the entirety of it. Here's Love live for last year animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-12-29/top-selling-media-franchises-in-japan-2016/.110442 and for 2015 animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-12-29/top-selling-media-franchises-in-japan-2015/.97051 Lets see how it does for the full year and for 2018 before you say it beats Love Live. |

Excluding ticket sales means that the $75 million, or 7.5 billion yen, earned by Anno's Shin Godzilla in Japan isn't counted in the 2.1 billion yen figure for the "Godzilla Series" in that table.
It's rather weird to consider a movie "franchise" when the movie's own box-office receipts aren't counted. |

Shin Godzilla opened on July 29, 2016. About 8.11 billion yen of its 8.25 billion yen box office total was earned in 2016. This is a ranking for the first half of 2017. Even if theater ticket sales counted, they wouldn't be included here. animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-12-18/top-20-highest-grossing-films-in-japan-has-6-anime-films/.110076 http://www.kogyotsushin.com/archives/alltime/ |

No, bro, it doesn't work like that. It already beat Love Live. Even if it doesn't repeat the feat for the yearly (and I am aware it's not very likely since it won't have a lot of media to add to the count, just the instrumental OST and the Stage event BD whilst LL will have concerts, a new anime, probably a buttload more CDs etc.) it doesn't invalidate its ridiculously high position on this ranking, especially considering it has so little media to count (6DVD, 6 BD and one CD released in the accounted period), compared to other franchises that have the whole enchilada. The constant goal-post shifting on this is getting quite old |

This day has finally arrived, Idolmaster outranking Love Live is on spotlight the fight is still ongoing and I'm neither rooting for both sides, because both are great!
But holy broccomolly for YOI. YOI is created by Sayo & M. Kubo with no original franchise content or whatever. No manga, novel, games, character songs, only 6 BD/DVD's and 1 CD, the numbers it cultivated is un imaginable, it's not even everything, the On Ice Stage event DVD(Chihoko incident that became a trend) is not yet even released until next month and it already reached this feat. |

I'm not sure why you have such a heated personal investment in YoI, but that's not shifting the goalpost, it's pointing out the flaws of using this list. If you wanted to say YoI sold more home video disks than the other franchises, that's fine, but ommiting revenue from areas other franchises focus in more than home video sales while doing so is extremely dishonest. Unless you also want to claim YoI brought in more money than Pocket Monsters as well. -Stuart Smith |

^It is goal-post shifting because the last time I had this argument, the other user claimed YOI only sold more than LL because I was only counting the BD/DVD (because the list given only counted BD/DVD) and that LL would win in the franchise lists because it dominated CD and concerts (which at the time I actually agreed on because it made more sense).
Now that the franchise lists have come out not only did YOI also dominate on CD too (so it's outselling LL on the only two accountable mediums it has) but it outsold LL overall as a franchise and now the argument is being changed to "but LL will have more at the yearly" (and with that I too agree so I don't get what's your damage?).
I mean if you can bring me veritable numbers on game, movie tickets and merchandise so a comparison can be made, be my guest. I'm sure LL would have more revenue purely from concert tickets, games and figures. But we don't have those. The data in these lists has always had its caveats and has always been limited, but I've never seen anyone discrediting their validity -not even in this same thread- except to invalidate YOI's explosive success. Why is it OK to say "HeroAca did more money than SAO" or "Fate is selling more than Star Wars", but saying "YOI outsold Love Live against all expectations" is "extremely dishonest". Using the only available data to make general statements in regards to that data? Oh no, that's preposterous! |

It would have made history if YOI beat OP for at least the first 1/2 of this year.

OP merchandising alone dwarfs this list. Last time Bandai released revenues for their franchise One Piece made over 10 billion yen in merchandising alone, over three times what it made on this list only looking at DVD and manga sales. Konami makes billions off Yu-Gi-Oh but its not anywhere on this list. Nobody should be using this list as a gauge of profitability or popularity. |
