Looks like the only one on this list (besides idol-related stuff) where the single is going to outsell any single volume of the anime.

Potpourri is the best. In general I find the fairies in Heartcatch to not be annoying like in other shows, pooping seeds aside.
luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuulz Did you seriously NOT see it coming?
I tend to view anime single sales as an extension of franchise popularity unless the single was by Mizuki Nana. Plus, the ED did even worse...
What the fuck are you going on about? It's going to get wrapped up this season.
It's certainly not looking good for Tamako Market... it won't "bomb," because this is kyoani and it's not nichijou, but still, it might well be lower than Hyouka's week one sales. The latter picked up as it went, though, but Tamako doesn't have two cours to work with.

A 2-cour show doesn't just get cancelled because of poor dvd/blu-ray sales. It doesn't work like that.

Welcome to the Church.
Are you implying there are people that start with Rebuild? Why would anyone even dare suggest that to newcomers? Why do people hate good Anno and love CGI Anno?
Why did you take so long to watch this show? From here to the finale it's pure unadulterated awesome.
Finally, someone who gets it!
Maybe it should though. If they can it after this week, we could still get 7 episodes of something else on noitaminA before the Spring rerun of Katanagatari!

Man, that's hilarious.
I suppose nerds care more about Shounen Jump than they do about girls though. lol
Now you have to watch the live action version.
Well, I double checked and it was sent from Singapore, for what that's worth. lol
Thinking back on the TV show and seeing where the characters are now in the manga... well, it's interesting to see how far they've come. I still think the manga can be a meandering mess at times and clearly the only one that matters is Nitorin, but that's Shimura I guess.
So episode 4 didn't happen?
I suppose 4 episodes isn't enough to judge something... but if that's how the novel opens, I probably would have dropped it like any other bad Baen book. That said, I suppose it's been a while since SyFy was about something rather than a series of plot-twist gimmicks that end up with a bunch of people going to church or mating with a bunch of savages after Saddam Hussein becomes Space Jesus with a harem. Ahem.
(Maybe all SyFy should have Lao Hu?)

Speaking of dumb SyFy, I skipped around through Tenchi Muyo GXP for some odd reason. I suppose they found a clever way to solve the harem problem:
Why choose when you can have them all? And it's guilt free since you are "ordered" to marry all of them and they all happen to inexplicably love you. lol
The weird thing is that he somehow ends up with 8 wives in the final scene of the show. Pro-tier harem protag.
I think anime has fucked me up so much that I honestly don't know if this kind of ending is better or worse than the harem shit that's been on the air these last few seasons.
(It's certainly a more genuine ending that SAO's let's give them a month before we jump Kirito ending.

I wish someone had the story of why Mitsudomoe S2 was canceled though. They committed to a two cour show and managed to animate 8 episodes before pulling the plug. Given that they were only a few episodes away from the end of the season, at what point in the production pipeline did they just decide to kill it?

Utena's revolution continues. How did Cowboy Bebop do, by the way?
Definitely not unheard of. Gundam X, Final Fantasy Unlimited, Ayakashi Ayashi. All cut short from their scheduled runs.

You guys should try this with your MPC-HC players, there's a anime option for it. Big difference...oh man, think of the Sakugas you can watch with it. I'm still fiddling around it.

True, but I would imagine that buying timeslots brings its own problems in regards to anime production, or something.
(Actually, if it weren't late, I would probably remember more about this.)
14,291 sales for the BD box in its first week.
What's MPC HC?
But I should be worried about other properties from the R;N guys being brought to anime? I don't really have any investment in that stuff though. But the trailer for the Occultic;Nine light novel or whatever it is looks potentially cool.

So will Tamako market's low sales end KyoAni's experiment with creating their own original properties?
What's Google?

If they'd cancelled it last week we'd have enough time for a full reair of Black Rock Shooter. Alas, it was not meant to be.
Well, I said basically. I knew about the Ayakashi Ayashi one. But it's not something that happens all the time, every season like on American TV.
It's not out yet. That's just the OP single.

I know. But the expectations seem low based on the tracking numbers.

I wouldn't be worried. Steins;Gate did get an anime version even after the utter failure that was Chaos;Head, after all.
Man, that's hilarious.

It was a terrible plot though, like well all of Bakuman but that specifically was awful.

How were people ever in doubt that Bebop was popular in Japan, again? On the other hand, now I'm disappointed that glorious Japan has not bought into the revolution after all this time.

I won't have you speak ill of ___ ___, I'd take a lao hu future compared to the current state of sf.
The infodump in ep4 wasn't bad. Gave answers when they needed it, and it delivered just enough to set in place all the stuff that would follow, anyways.

I figure I'd comment on these numbers for giggles.
Sukitte bomba'ing makes perfect sense, because I don't think girls who are watching anime really want to see anything resembling reality, but at least it basically finished its story in one cour.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that this is the more popular KyoAni show.
It's interesting that the safest shoujo show hits "decent" numbers. Also the one with the lowest budget too. lol

This isn't much of a surprise as well, but again, it had the perfect ending to cap off a really decent season so I'm good.
Man, a show about figures that love you back bombing? Otaku are fickle.
Speaking of fickle nerds, I guess no one gives a shit about Hayate in animated form now?
Brb, stabbing myself now. ._.
Nothing Manglobe makes sells. (Well, nothing that comes to mind, anyway.)

The only history that's been discussed since has had direct relevance to the characters telling it.
It might not be your perfectly ideal sci-fi show, but it's significantly more invested in the realities of the present than in things related to past events. There's no chosen one on a quest to find the artifact left by the technologically-advanced yet extinct forerunner race in order to save mankind from an apocalypse.

Can't Take My Eyes Off You is horrible and incredibly ugly.

Nitori's sister is a real bitch. Saorin certainly isn't very pleasant either but she has her reasons at least. I don't really know what to say about the goings on in each episode with how steady they are playing the story, but I like that. I like how they are able to keep the relationships somewhat natural, not going all cheesy and overbearing. I also like how the problems are seemingly insignificant, things most of us deal with in our lives. I think it lets the viewer get a good sense of the awkwardness the characters are feeling about themselves.
Was it that bad? I skipped it and just watched S;G.

For what it's worth, the Chaos;Head anime volume 1 sales to beat are 1,487.

Oh, it was IDIOTIC... but it was also the entire PREMISE of the series. lol
Maybe ignoring it was his way of retconning it?
Remember when Hayate had a 4 cour run? Good times...
Honestly, saying that something has a better story than Assassin's Halo: The Effect of The Masses doesn't really suggest anything about the text itself. Well, other than the fact that it's, as Dresden suggested, ambitious anyway.
Maybe I'm a dirty syfy hipster, but I think Beasts of the Southern Wild did the whole post-apocalyptic thing better than the two hours of SSY that I've seen.

I suppose the only argument I can make about ep4 was that it basically told me to walk away and chalk it up to SyFy being SyFy. Although, I guess I did watch ep5 to see if any of that exposition mattered and from what I remember, it really didn't - other that the one immediate revelation that actually impacts the characters anyway.
Well, you wouldn't do a pricey BD set if you didn't believe you could move some of them, right? lolHow were people ever in doubt that Bebop was popular in Japan, again? On the other hand, now I'm disappointed that glorious Japan has not bought into the revolution after all this time.

Damn those Robotic;notes sales. I thought that the fans of the game would buy the series.
It was pretty terrible.
Thanks for the number. For all we know Robotics;Notes vol. 1 could already be above that.
The game wasn't nearly as well-received as Steins;Gate, even though the sales were pretty decent.
Reminds me of when I enjoyed the Hayate manga a lot more than I do now.
But SynergySP Hayate was great (except for that couple of episodes after episode 40 where it was boring). I was so excited for Zettai Karen Children after, and that went nowhere.
Probably. I gave up after the 2nd arc with the evil mangaka. All I wanted was an interesting behind the scenes look at Shounen Jump as much as a series being run in SJ could be.
OT: I hope you're watching Primeval: New World!
Is it? How so?
I'm not sure what you mean. Space bros and chihayafuru had a lot of atmospheric music and variations on a theme, but they were not all one single track.

Yeah, the first one was probably the best. Then they decided to reboot it, which was fine... I suppose... then the third version happened.Reminds me of when I enjoyed the Hayate manga a lot more than I do now.

Yeah, as much as I'm interested in the manga churn... I'd rather watch a documentary about a real mangaka than some fantasy version of writing manga.
And I don't know if I can handle Vancouver/Canadian SyFy anymore. Let alone a spinoff of Primeval... lol
That exposition actually ends up mattering, beyond ep5. Long term ramifications... kinda like the tradition of white guilt.
Aw, when I saw the ad on TV I thought it'd be perfect for Firehawk :< What about Elementary?
I haven't seen Beasts of the Southern Wild, but I'll take your word for it that SSY doesn't tell its story as well as an Oscar-nominated film.
Personally, I think the story really hits its stride at Episode 8. That's when the show starts addressing what it means to live in that society, and the forces that make it the way it is. The way they've been building off that in recent weeks has been really interesting to watch, and I think you'll appreciate the stuff it does well.
Having a better story than the Ur-Legend is certainly a low bar, but it sounds to me like you want a sci-fi story where the meat of it is less tied up in the mythos of the setting, and more related to the current struggles of the characters in that setting's particular environment. I can see then why Episode 4 would have set off alarm bells, but the exact historiography of slave kingdoms and scientists hasn't been referenced since. I could be wrong, but I think it's worth moving forward.
