I don't think anything's going to change at this point. The sales are still rather mediocre, somewhere around 3,000 copies per volume (BD/DVD combined). It's not in what we would normally call "sequel territory" (this new season is not a sequel, but a split cour), but there are of course more factors beyond just DVDs/BDs (such as manga sales, CDs, other merchandise, etc.).

I think it would've been better not to slit the cour and show the entire thing as a 26-episode-series, then the BluRay/Dvd-sale would've been better.
With the split, people got a little estranged from the series again in the meantime.

In all honesty, I think it's just a case of it not quite being the right show at the right time to catch on fire. There were a lot of other shows in the Fall season that just caught people's imagination a bit more, and the home media buying community only has so much money to spend. It's not as if it's an abject failure, but it's just "middling". Unfortunately, though, that may prevent the show from getting a sequel. Wouldn't be the first or last time that an otherwise decent show just fails to sell as it arguably should (heck, a lot of the shows that I personally love were abject failures in sales). On the positive side, it wouldn't surprise me to see this show do decently well if it were licensed for English markets, as it seems to me that this series is almost getting more attention in the English community than it's getting at home. But that is assuming, of course, that the English fanbase puts their money where their mouth is and actually buys the stuff. Not always a guarantee...

You know... this is Manglobe's best selling series in Japan lol....
MANGLOBE *3,097 *3 Kami Nomizo Shiru Sekai 2218 13 Samurai Champloo 2146 6 Seiken no Blacksmith 1998 9 Ergo Proxy I couldn't find any figures for Michiko to Hatchin and Sarai-ya Goyou... I also doubt Deadman Wonderland will do that well. |

They seemed to do alright ever since they were first founded in 2002. They came out with an anime series every year (or even that), but they seem to be working a lot harder this year with this season 2, Deadman Wonderland, and the Hayate movie. Kind of surprising they don't put out more shows though because their animation quality's actually really good. Can't wait to see how good the Hayate movie looks.
