Probs 3 episodes a disc. It happens sometimes, strike while the irons hot and all that jazz.

Illya domination! I was expecting a higher number for PTE. Nice BD box numbers for Fafner. Buy more people befor Beyond releases.

Funny there was that diss towards Prisma in another story and now the movie is doing great in Japan. Sentai Filmworks really needs to hurry up and license 3rei and the movie, I don't know why they stopped after 2wei Herz! I need to see Shirou kicking ass in high definition.

While the animation is not UFOTABLE levels, the battles are pretty cool and the new version of UBW did not disappoint. This might be the best version of Shiro in all of Fate multiverse.

This has been bugging me as well. The wiki page makes no mention of any US licensors even though it's available to stream on Crunchyroll. The ANN article for the series lists crunchyroll for the internet streaming AND the licensor. I have no idea if that means licensed for simply streaming or something else.

Regardless, I shall continue to patiently wait V_V

Oh I know, I watched the original theater release of the movie but I was waiting to rewatch it with all the Blu-Ray improvements. Still disappointed some of the cut monologues and scenes from the manga didn't make it back in but oh well, the best content is still there.

Hopefully this doesn't mean Sentai left the series in Limbo or dropped it...It's only been a year since 2wei Herz! US release and they usually spaced out a season once a year, but they haven't even announced they licensed 3rei or Oath Under The Snow yet.

In the end good sales on the Illya movie and continued strong sales for Symphogear. Putting that part of the story as a movie does make sense and worked out alright. Though probably a decent wait ahead to see where the 3rei story goes before they can actually make another season.

Hopefully Sentai gets to that licensing. Although I don't have all the season's they've released yet anyways. So I'll focus on doing that Anime hyper.

Only thing to wait on Symphogear is the next season's confirmed date. Though one would presume that will be Summer 2019.

I'm pretty happy with Just Because's numbers. 2k between BD and DVD is nothing to scoff at these days. It has probably gotten pretty close to making back its money at the very least. It wasn't a strong streamer internationally though, as far as I could tell, so it probably has to rely on physical media more than a few things. I would really love a figure of Ena, or any other them, really, but especially Ena.
Juuni Taisen is still managing to break 1k, so that's not too bad. I'm sure it's not what they wanted, but the streaming in that case was pretty strong, so they are also likely not too far from being in the black over all.

Probably because it's PTE and it's MO is to do nothing conventionally. lol

They already announced they were doing another anime season last year.

It is rather surprising to me that the SaeKano fan base is as stable as it is.

The first season sales avg about 8750 units, and yet even with 2 years space in between, the last volume of the 2nd season still do almost 7k first week. You almost couldn't believe that the 1st volume of the first season, a 1 episode lower priced with event ticket, only did ~5k first week.

I seem to recall that NetJuu no Susume also did irregular thing with the release of its DVD volume during the show's run before capping it with a BD Box with all the episodes.

I'm surprised that UQ Holder did modestly well. It was the not best of adaptions.
