On topic, Haikyuu!! sales was expected to be well underestimated on Stalker, as it had particularly strong storefront effect at Animate (usually always behind Love Live! there).

@Jox It missed the cut-off




Nice to see that Haikyuu!! was underestimated by that much. I wonder how much mahouka was underestimated by next week. We also got a ton of 10k+ sellers next week, with the GuP OVA on top(estimated at more than 55k).


On this season,

Its the season of the sequels, with SoA S2 at 20k and Sailor moon, Persona 4 the Golden and Free S2 around the 10k mark. Yama no Susume S2 , Kuroshitsuji S3 and Ilya S2 are also roughly around 4k.

With its 5.4k, Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun is having the best performance out of the new anime series. Speaking of which, it doesn't look that good for the new anime series of the season, since Barakamon comes in 2nd with an estimate of only 3.3k

Aldnoah.Zero only recently went up on amazon, but its having a really good performance. But its too early to tell how long it'll keep rankings like that.

but of-course, in the end, the Monogatari tv special will top the list any way.

As always it depends on your taste. When it comes to Sports anime I think it is among the best we got in the past few years. I think it's a pretty well-achieved series. The pace is intentionally a little slow but somehow only adds to the general feel of the series.

So, basically, if you enjoy sports anime definitely give it a try, if you have never tried sports anime (or tried only a couple) this is a good one to start with, if you dislike the genre it probably won't change your mind so I'd say skip it in that case.


About the sales, I'm really happy to see HQ's success as many have said before me. Did it over-perform Kuroko no Basket's first week (of its first season that is)? Never thought it had the potential to do such a thing. Guess a second season is pretty likely in the future.

Yes comfortably. Probably not on average though at the end, as it is expected to drop to around 12.5~15k in the 1st week from Vol.3 onwards, due to having no event ticket on those volumes.

It's more or less the anti-Kuroko no Basket, which is terrible as a sports anime but terrific as an action anime. It's a lot more realistic, but has a very slow pace and focuses more on character development than the actual volleyball action. Sort of like a Free! with more depth and less bad jokes in it. If you hate Kuroko no Basket you'll probably love Haikyuu, but you do need some patience to appreciate it.

Oh wow, that's a way bigger difference than I thought. So the first volumes come with event tickets? I guess that goes to explain part of the great sales. So they should probably average out at a close number of sales, due to HQ's strong first 2 volumes. It's weird to see two sports anime that are so different (and thus in part appeal to different target audiences) end up with a close (or at least both successful) average in sales. I guess it goes to show that there is a dedicated market for both kinds of sports anime, which is good.

Both kinds of sports anime? By that, I think you mean, how Kuroko no Basuke has more action while Haikyuu!! is more slow paced? I agree with that.

Something that comes in between is Yowamushi Pedal which is having decent sales as well, nearly averaging 6k. Its no powerhouse like KnB or Haikyuu!! but it must have done its job to get a second season. The manga also got a good boost like the other two series.

I don't count Free! as a sports anime.

Its the season of the sequels, with SoA S2 at 20k and Sailor moon, Persona 4 the Golden and Free S2 around the 10k mark. Yama no Susume S2 , Kuroshitsuji S3 and Ilya S2 are also roughly around 4k.



Are those your estimates for the first week sales or final numbers?

Haikyuu was expected. Wow, I wasn't expecting Mikakunin de Shinkoukei to sell this much, great, I really liked this anime. Kaze Tachinu stills on the top sellings, also expected.
Saki Zenkoku-hen & Isshukan Friends having good sales, nice! I hope for new seasons.
Tonari no Totoro stills selling good, impressive.
Yowamushi Pedal also with good sales, excellent, hope the next season is going to be as awesome as the first one.

First week. But the first week tends to be frontloaded with 90% of the sales.

I'm curious why you think Free S2 will only sell 10K? Didn't the first season average 30K?

Its underestimated, and those are not my opinions on how much it'll sell. Those are estimates taken from

One more week and most likely Love Live will no longer have outsold every other series first volume combined thanks to Haikyuu:

Love Live: 108363
Everything Else: 106776

Love Live must be the anime of the century if its selling that much. There must one hell of an event ticket for it to break 100k sales.

Not surprised about Captain Earth it started out good, but then it quickly became a wash/rinse/repeat type of series. I just hope that Aldnaoh.Zero will get amazing sales with the people thats backing it.

Me too, it's not even that bad.

I should probably watch Haikyuu now, and I'm a little surprised MCA sold as much as it is.

Both kinds of sports anime? By that, I think you mean, how Kuroko no Basuke has more action while Haikyuu!! is more slow paced? I agree with that.

I wasn't just talking about difference of pace. In general there you can find two big "types" of sports anime/manga in the shounen demographic. Just think of the difference between Slam Dunk/Ace of Diamong against manga like Eyeshield 21/Prince of Tennis. The second type is more over-the-top, usually doesn't care about trying to portray the games realistically (sometimes the characters exhibit clearly superhuman capabilities), focuses on simple entertainment and excitement thus favoring a faster pace outside the matches. Kuroko fits perfectly in this category. The first type I mentioned tries to be more realistic (well, within the limits of the medium that is), thus having a more down-to-earth feel, a more grounded series so to speak that tends to take a slower pace. Haikyuu fits more in this category.

Obviously a lot of series fall somewhere in the middle, sharing elements from both "types" but generally speaking you can group them accordingly as being closer to one or the other. As to the example you mentioned I would say Yowamushi is closer to the over-the-top "type". I mean just look at a lot of the characters and it's easy to tell.

Yes comfortably. Probably not on average though at the end, as it is expected to drop to around 12.5~15k in the 1st week from Vol.3 onwards, due to having no event ticket on those volumes.

Oh wow, that's a way bigger difference than I thought. So the first volumes come with event tickets? I guess that goes to explain part of the great sales. So they should probably average out at a close number of sales, due to HQ's strong first 2 volumes. It's weird to see two sports anime that are so different (and thus in part appeal to different target audiences) end up with a close (or at least both successful) average in sales. I guess it goes to show that there is a dedicated market for both kinds of sports anime, which is good.


Don't forget that Haikyuu!! 1st volume sales didn't ended yet! This is only the first week! I'm almost certain that at least second and third week they will appear in the oricon rankingl as well.
Kuroko no basket numbers are for all the weeks they appeared in the rankings and not just the first week.

Amazing sales for Haikyuu!! and that's all I care about~ I totally love the series, and would even call it my top favorite sports anime. I didn't think it'd beat KNB, but it did, lol. Haikyuu!! has kind of cuter boys anyway.

Happy to see Love Live! and Engaged to the Unidentified still doing good too. I wonder how much Love Live! will drop with the next volume coming out next week.

Also, Yowapeda still doing decent. I'm happy for the series.

I'd rather see a show earn it's sales by being legitimately good in some respect rather than just having hyped up names behind it that if I'm being honest are kind of all phoning it in. For that reason I'm hoping that it does okay to give the mecha genre some life and exposure heading into the Fall season with G-Reco, but nothing ridiculous cause that's just going to encourage more homogenization of staff and less effort and everyone scrambling to just get more of those exact same people instead of focusing on making a show that is actually great and memorable.

And no Love Live is not the anime of the century, it's just insanely well managed as a product. I'd explain it again, but reading some past sales threads would do the job just the same.

Wow! I'm shocked to hear Haikyuu!! did so well. Grateful, though. A second season would be welcome. :)

I think it helps that unlike Free!, Haikyuu!! originates from a Shounen mag and therefore is an easier sell for both sexes. (Or at least doesn't repel super otaku bros with its (horror!) muscle jokes.)

with the GuP OVA on top(estimated at more than 55k).


Very outstanding news, totally deserves it. The OVA lived up to, and even surpassed my hopes. It is definitely one of the most fun animations I have ever seen. Add in the people who went to the move theaters to see it and you would be approaching the century mark.

With its 5.4k, Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun is having the best performance out of the new anime series.


Also good news, probably the funniest show in the past 3 cours. Of course it is early, but so far it just hits everything with impeccable timing and with characters that twist the usual stereotypes. In an otherwise weak original season, it has been a welcomed addition.

I will be curious where sailor moon ends up, its not my genre, but I saw the original and I could appreciate that. The first episode of the remake really made me wonder what the point of a reissue was. It was almost like they wanted to combine 1990 Dragon Ball art with the 1990 Sailor Moon story, which would have been horrible in 1990 but is even worse in 2014. For now I am just going to call it Sailor Moon Kai.
