Not sure if it's just power of magical yuri or the power of GBF fanbase - but it's already understocked so hard that they making a second print for the end of the March, so it's not even the final numbers.

It's power of GBF codes.

Except Virgin Soul had them too - so not only. But for fun, second one will get the Shadowverse bonuses with Anne as leader, so if this one go even more skyrocket than this...

Not true at all. The Bahamut box set was super expensive for just a dama bar and sun stone- these are some of the best codes in any of the cygames boxsets at the cheapest price. Theres a reason this shows sells 10k discs and has very little fanart.

Also if you follow disc sales pretty much all its discs were sold at once when the code was announced.

It's not - it's just a Damabar for the first one, Sunstone for second and Gold Brick if you get both, same as VS and Umamusume minus the promo chars of Nina and Charioce which was in the VS boxes.

The amount of a fanart isn't a good indicator of how good the sales really goes, as with current Trigger shows like Darling in the Franxx and Gridman.

Spending 21k yen to get just the pretty common things to the current players isn't a good deal still.

The power of Grea is legit. Although joking aside I do get there are layers to why Manaria sold so well.

Kind of disappointed that Index III is selling as well as it is. Don't love the idea of a rushed and somewhat sloppy anime being rewarded. No matter how much they may have wanted to get to the good stuff they shouldn't have rushed through and messed up several arcs.

Good to hear Damabars are now pretty common. And I see you misunderstood the point of what I wrote. Mysteria Friends wasnt selling any disks until the codes came out, sold a ton of disks for a couple days, and then dropped like a rock on amazon. I also dont understand your point about trigger shows? Gridman and Franxx and a ton of fanart and sold a lot of disks? They were in the 5k range which make them each one of the best selling shows in both of their respective seasons and they had some of the most fanart. The point of mentioning the price is that Mysteria Friends has cheaper disks than the others that sold similar mobage codes.

Hold it there. It's on the top of the Amazon ranking straight from the date of it's disc release.

The point is appearing on the most of the fanarts is not correlated to the part how strong disc sales gonna be, same as manga of LN sales. Franxx not sold better than more mild SoraYori and Yurucamp, and Gridman pretty much lost to Zombieland Saga.

Because you're not included the thing that VS was 4 6-full episode BD boxes and Uma Musume was 1 4-full episode and 3 3-full episode BD boxes compared to 5-15 minutes in Manaria, so that's why they are cheaper, of course?

If that's the case, then Bloom Into You should have outsold those shows.
