Wait...which is which?

For the vertical comparisons, top is TV, bottom is DVD. For the horizontal ones, left is DVD and right is TV.

DVD sales for the first week is 15,513 copies sold as reported by Oricon.
Have to wait two more weeks (I think) for Blu-ray numbers.

Woland · 2009-10-06, 03:28

That's impressive. I was expecting less (I didn't notice Gintama was a film and non the regular TV series).
BRD sales are usually similar to the ones of DVD (with a similar edition) given that aniplex printed enough.

Westlo · 2009-10-06, 03:33

Didn't they only ship 25k in total for DVD & Bluray Sirn? Have they fixed their stock shortage problems for week 2?

Woland · 2009-10-06, 03:38

Oricon cover only around 50-60% of distribution (figures), if I remember well, so 25k for both version are unlikely (maybe is the first shipment).
I checked the daily ranking and Bakemonogatari (oricon) was always in the chart (since 10-29 was 3th, 4th, 4th, 3th, 5th) so I dunno about shortage...

sirn · 2009-10-06, 03:44

Not yet, the official site says they'll start shipping both Blu-ray and DVDs again in the next week. Even though, normally Blu-ray sales are roughly the same as DVD, this means the total sales of the first volume alone is already over 30,000 copies sold. Another rumor says the Blu-ray and DVD ratio for this series is 6.5:3.5, would be very interesting if it's true: 15513*((6.5/3.5)+1) = 44322

The shortage is pretty bad, as far as I know. Blu-rays, DVDs, normal edition of DVDs are all out of stock in most store. It's not possible to buy anything unless you've reserved it beforehand. At the very least, mine got delayed to at least the next week.

Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari, on the other hand, hit 69,153 mark in this week.

The rumor is true, first week's Blu-ray sales is 29,000 copies. Total sales of the first week is about 44,500 copies, already surpass first week's K-on sales (41,000 copies). Congratulations.

BetoJR · 2009-10-06, 16:49

Wow. Great news. Hopefully, it will lead to more, in the coming years...

aulzon · 2009-10-06, 18:11

Does that mean now Bakemonogatari has the crown for highest first week sales for a TV anime?

That's really unexpected... I would imagine they would be a lot more had the publishers stocked up. Maybe they didn't even expect it.

Gintama is TV series. The special DVD is just out before (well it just more and less trolling by sunrise if you already see the content

)

This year, yes. All time, no. Second to only Gundam SEED Destiny, I think.

Oricon also published the article, the last line says: "As for the Blu-ray Disc ranking, 'Bakemonogatari Vol.1 Hitagi Crab (Limited Edition)' took the first place with 29,000 copies sold."

It's from the Jump Anime Tour in 2005 and 2008 event screenings. The release itself is basically an OVA, not a TV release.

d-one · 2009-10-06, 19:03

yeah I know. But they also put 4 minute trailer of fake movie

zato_1one · 2009-10-06, 19:18

A truly dark horse indeed! If only it didn't have stock problem.

ZODDGUTS · 2009-10-06, 23:35

That's good to hear that guarantees the other novels being animated as well.

musume_no_hoshi · 2009-10-07, 09:58

Well, I have hopes for otakus again. Selling better then K-on was not something I expected. Imagine if they didn't have stock problem, it could have reached 50k?

No doubt...

Hopefully with this kind of sales, the chance of 2nd season is getting bigger...
