I find it amusing Warner Bros is releasing Ro-Kyu-Bu!

I assume that IdolM@ster isn't including the BD that comes with the game sales.

Go Penguindrum! I didn't think it'd pull in 5k since it's a very different show, but I'll take it. I guess the name Ikuhara still has some pull even after a 12 year hiatus.

Now for someone to bring it over...

Correct. Those numbers probably won't be out for a few more days.

Japanese game sales usually come out on Wednesday, so tomorrow we should know.

That said, the standalone sales seem a little low to me. Next month should be a better indication of how well the series is doing, since there's no game bundle for volume 2.

Wow, the numbers on just about everything were quite a bit lower than I was anticipating. UtaPri in particular had a massive drop in compared with its first volume sales. I thought Usagi Drop would be well beyond 5k combined, but now it's looking like it'll take a miracle for it to even reach that.

Every anime BD is bundled with a Gravure4U PS3 disc though.

Spring series still representn' hard.

Surprising that Penguindrum is even breaking 4k, given how lackluster the first arc was at times. Hopefully its sales won't go straight down the crapshoot, like, say, Star Driver's did.

I'm still dumbfounded that this hasn't been at least simulcasted anywhere. What's up with that?

Not really surprised. The best show usually isn't simulcasted, just like Madoka wasn't.
