Wow! While Ano Hana is not necessarily my favorite series from the block I am happy it so sold well because it is the type of series that I WANT to see more from on the block. I put this along with Honey and Clover and Nodame Cantabile as a "realistic "slice of life series that made me love noitaminA in the first place. Yes I know there is the unrealistic ghost aspect but other than that I found Ano Hana to be very down to Earth.
You know what surprises me most from the list how much lower the sales of the second series of Nodame Cantabile and Honey & Clover were. I would have expected sales of 2nd series to be around the same as sales for the initial series.

Still, I think that Nodame Cantabile and Honey & Clover had much higher ratings than AnoHana.

I mean I see it used for anime like "Lucky Star" and I definitely do not mean that type of series. Here I am just using it for a series that I feel deals with more realistic characters in real life situations (even though there is a magical aspect to Ano Hana) Of course in terms of drama Ano Hana does have a bit more than Nodame Cantabile but I still feel the two series are similar in feel (but you are right Ano Hana has more to appeal to an Otaku audience)

Man that list is depressing, when I saw the numbers on ANN I suspected that AnoHana was the best selling noitaminA show but geeze, shows with an older audience in Japan just don't get the love they deserve I suppose (unless the fans decided to buy a ton of merch instead of DVDs....).

Menma Beach Queen figure. @MFC.
Spoiler for Menma:
I think she looks really cute, and I'm interested in what colour her swimsuit is. There hasn't been any official art of Menma in a swimsuit, right? It should be white. (: |

I went ahead and ordered 3 bottles of that sake XD. Not looking forward to them being taxed under the alcohol import category + duty fees when they get forwarded to my country though. Oh yeah, I sent Bukou an email regarding the alcohol content and they said it contains 15-16% of alcohol, which is pretty normal for this since it's a pure rice wine.
