Oh damn. That's low for ufotable. Fate/Zero did 43,000 in the first week. Mirai Fukuin sold 39,000 BDs.
And considering the amount of content they put into those BDs was equal to 16 normal episodes(10 normal + 3 double)... Can't say they didn't deserve it, though. They basically lied about the additional scenes in the episodes, and the anime itself had many problems - storywise and animationwise. These sales just confirm this is not ufotable's best. |

Least this season doesn't have wondering eyes like Zero had(which were never even fixed in the BD release) |

Shirobako staying above 10k is a pleasant surprise. It really deserves it.

Probably but that is japan. Ufotable aim more in their western release success, the same with fate/zero. |

I kind of expected to be a juggernaut contender and be on par with Unlimited Blade Works' numbers of sold given the fanbase. |

From what i've heard from the fans, they do not like the adaptation. |

Given the runaway popularity of Kan Colle, one would expect it to sell much more. It's almost like an invitation to print money. Would've taken such a stumble to miss that boat. /pun

Well, VN Fate Fans are generally {No swearing at the fanbase. ~nobahn} I seen in my life. I don't like to swear much but they just are. I mean, what fanbase would argue about Shirou's tripping on a rock and how that ruined his character and the series for eight fricken pages. The only real changes are switching the place where someone was at one scene, better animation, better pacing, no long and boring exposition dump, cut of Shirou's monologues which is the only real problem, added scenes and a bit more Saber being a punching bag , different costumes, better art, no uncomfortable scenes(Saber Lily Exploitation), more exciting, better action scenes, better openings(My opinion), soundtrack being not as good.
In the end 2014 may not follow the novel word by word which is what thw whiny fans want, but it tries to be different and better which is what it achieves. |

Interesting to see the figures:
Each of those 2-disc volumes went for 7727 yen on amazon.co.jp or 8800 yen on cdjapan.co.jp, and the first press copies included a coupon to go in the first ticket lottery for Animelo Summer Live 2015 (not a bad idea, as getting tickets can be difficult). Compare that with the 27,000 attendance at each day's shows. |

For the record, Ufotable's only successes are shows/films based off of Type Moon franchises. Their biggest success arguably does not count for this comparison since it's a collection of movies. Mirai Fukuin is a movie, so comparisons are pretty moot. Secondly, whilst the number is considerably lower than Fate/Zero, the sales are still considerably higher than the average anime. Considering that UBW has sold 34k so far, we can expect another 25-30k at least, which puts it at a 29.5K-32k average. Still higher than the bulk of modern anime. Oh, did I mention this cost around $400? That's at least $12 million or 1.4 billion yen. That's significantly higher than the production budget of the average anime. Even Eureka Seven's insane 1.2 billion yen budget would be covered and then some by the amount of money made by sales. It's not really a profit for ufotable, since it's pretty low in the production committee, BUT it is a pretty solid profit for Notes/Type Moon and Aniplex. Thirdly, the animation was objectively superior to even Fate/Zero's, considering the planning(we got confirmation of this in late 2013 and it premiered in September/October 2014) and superior budget and there were no noticeable animation errors or off model character design. It seems as if ufotable did the majority of the work, unlike other anime companies and since I've heard that Fate/Zero II was rushed, it certainly is superior. I'd estimate a 25-40 million yen per episode budget, compared to the estimated 25-35 million budget for F/Z(this is just an estimate from me, not Aniplex) Also, sales=/=quality or DEEN's FSN would be a solid anime. 22k average, anyone? Or Evangelion. 120k first average and a 170k overall average. |
