Do you have any numbers to back your claims up?Do you know how big of a budget was put in that one episode of it?Do you know how expensive the BD was?You said that budget was anything from $1-3 million per episode,well if that is true and if we do take it that they 100 million yen from box office in two weeks then there is a chance that they made their money back just from theaters.Lets not also forget that Arise also had its own merchandise,and that it was licensed to other foreign companies. |

Its Tenjin (or Tenjin's american cousin), you can safely ignore anything he posts. |

Did Railgun S do decent enough? I remember reading something about it not selling, but I don't know if that much is good for Toaru.

ANN's reporting on sales data is atrocious, I highly suggest if you are interested to keep track of this thread over on the Mania forums. Also ANN never reports the full lists that are released on Thursdays. Anyway Railgun did 16k, which is less than Railgun S1, but more than Index 1 and about the same as Index II. So it did pretty well. |

Yay! I'm happy to see Madoka seems to have sold well. I ordered a copy of the LE, but from AnimateUSA (meaning that I won't see my copy until Thursday at the earliest), so my purchase probably doesn't factor in to this list.
It's great to see Yamato 2199 sell fairly well. I just watched my Blu-ray yesterday. I'm quite happy with 2199, and so I'm disappointed that the wait until the final BD seems so long. 2199 doesn't even get the benefit of Yamato nostalgia goggles, since I managed to never see Starblazers or any of the Yamato movies. ^^; I had Railgun S in my Amazon order as recently as last week, but I cancelled it. The Sisters arc is pretty good, but I'm still not sure if the anime has offered enough over the manga version to spend that much. And Touma is there. Maybe if the post-arc story is interesting enough, I'll put it into one of my upcoming orders. GitS:Arise is another that was cancelled from my Amazon order, but that's because I can get the Funi import via TRSI for less than the Amazon price. Vividred 5 also arrived with Yamato 2199, Chuu2 BD 7, Hataraku Maou BD 1, Porco Rosso, Shin Sekai Yori BD 10, Tamako Market BD 5, Yamato 2199 MV Series BD, and Akibaranger 2 BD 1. And I just confirmed my order with AmiAmi for the two Girls und Panzer cycling jerseys/shirts. ^^; |

Also, YamadaKun, your claims need sources otherwise all we are reading is asstalk. |

And yet the average Anime movie aimed at adults makes less than that at the box office, so yeah, my point stands.
Well, there's no way it was one hundred million dollars. Anyone who believes that fantasy must be a pothead. |

Looks like a really strong week for anime on BD in Japan.

It's looking like this season of UtaPri may just do better than last season.
I'm glad. |

It does look that way. The second season of Uta-Pri has been comprehensively outselling the first season so far, and if it can keep up the momentum then it will easily outstrip the first season. Even volume two which didn't have an event ticket still sold well compared to the event-ticket volumes from season one. |

Well yeah but I dont think that movie was in theaters for only two weeks,which means that it must have made more money then 100 million yen,very small amount though. |

@dtm42 Madoka movies 1-2 and K-On would love to disagree with you. So would Only Yesterday and Akira, as well as Porco Rosso*, Kaze Tachinu and many more adult films. Japan, believe it or not has a the "Animation Age Ghetto" shtick as we have in the West, I guess, though to a much lesser extent.
@Fencedude Yeah, I'm from America, specifically the Bay Area, specifically Sunnyvale, which is nice and quiet and peaceful, unlike Tenjin, who I repeat is from Toronto, Canada, which is noisy, has more crime and is not so nice. Also, I don't see you proving me wrong. Most of what I say about GITS' popularity in the West compared to Japan is somewhat true. I was corrected. It was moderately successful in Japan, in the form of Kamiyama's Stand Alone Complex series, but it's not a cult classic or as appreciated as it is in the West. It won like 1 award in Japan, but virtually no praise or anything. In the States, back in the day, it was numbed 1 on the Billboard charts and the VHS sold 1 million copies, at least $10, which means it made back its full budget. This is not to talk about the rest of the west or its DVD sales in the States as well. You probably were not born in during the time GITS enjoyed mainstream success in North America. During the boom, I guess. |

You don't know what the definition of "average" is; have you actually finished primary school? Am I speaking to a little kid? Because if you're a teen or God-forbid an adult then that's just too sad. |
