Horizon - 21,554
Horizon 2 - 17,825 (and will climb)
Mai-Hime - 9,994
Accel World - 9,951 (might drop below Otome)
Mai-Otome - 8,952
Sora o Kakeru Shoujo - 3,535
Xenoglossia - 2,288
They clearly love the property and it's easily the best selling TV series Studio 8 have done, have confidence in a sequel eventually.

The difference here, is that Horizon is an adaptation, so they had to share the profits with the rights holders. I would not be surprised if they end up only with normal profits. This is why Sunrise do so many Original shows.
With Original shows the profit is higher but with great risks if it bombed. With adaptations you will get paid even if it bombed, but if it sells well you can only get a share of the profits.
