Any sales figures on the anime? Well, it's impressive that they can pull off 1 million, but that's the light novels. The sales of the anime might as well be a better benchmark on the possibilities of a second season.
EDIT: Ah, might as well.

For a better comparison, you have to use a series that's A) Have the same number of volumes and B) Doesn't have an Anime yet or at least use the numbers before the anime was adapted.... But good luck finding that out >.> IMO Zombie might be a better yardstick.

zombie season 1 anime was announced the same time as HnA so that's a better comparison. Though I thought last year that Hna will be for fall but Index S2 was fall. Then wish for a winter season but IS took that place. It's been pushed far away from when it's been announced that it's having an anime.

denpa onna is only 8 books and it's already finished? and also ookami-san? but how many volumes was animated in ookami-san? is ookami another JC staff work? I'm not sure because I'm not that fond of that anime. It's fun and all but not my favorite so I don't remember much about it.
Aria will be stopping at vol 3 though I wish they won't make a cliffhanger at the end if they won't be planning doing a 2nd season.

It can't be helped, the very nature of the light novel has it ending every volume as a cliffhanger.

The success of the light novel series should be enough reason for why there should be another season. The light novel series is quite a big hit based on how many copies per volume were sold on average.
I found the number of copies sold for several series. The number of volumes (including side stories) is the number released between the date of the first novel’s release and the date the information was obtained. I included the date of the first novel’s release and the date the information was obtained just in case. Hidan no Aria 1.9 million 9 vol 210,000 per vol Aug 08 – Apr 11 2.4 million 9 vol 270,000 per vol Aug 08 – May 11 Haruhi 8.0 million 9 vol 890,000 per vol Jun 03 – Apr 11 Index 11.3 million 25 vol 450,000 per vol Apr 04 – May 11 Durarara 3.2 million 8 vol 400,000 per vol Apr 04 – Feb 11 Ore no Imouto 2.3 million 6 vol 380,000 per vol Aug 08 – Nov 10 Baka to Test 4.3 million 12 vol 360,000 per vol Jan 07 – Feb 11 Shana 8.0 million 23 vol 350,000 per vol Nov 02 – Nov 10 Toradora 3.2 million 12 vol 270,000 per vol Mar 06 – Apr 09 Denpa Onna 1.5 million 7 vol 210,000 per vol Jan 09 – Apr 11 Kore wa Zombie 1.2 million 6 vol 200,000 per vol Jan 09 – Jan 11 Zero no Tsukaima 4.5 million 22 vol 200,000 per vol Jun 04 – Feb 11 The number copies per volume sold for Hidan no Aria is actually quite big and probably will increase a lot more. The number is even larger than the one for Kore wa Zombie Desuka and recently another season of Zombie was just announced only 2 months after the first season finished airing. So, it’s possible we will receive news of another season of Aria soon as well. |

how about the dvd/bluray sales of aria and korewazombie?
JC staff doesn't care about how good the sales of the novels. They care for their own sales. Haruhi really have a monster kind of sales. But still not enough some of the old timer light novel that has 10 volumes but reach 10 + million sales. I remember it in index light novel thread.

I guess DVD/Blu ray sales is an important factor as well.
From the information in my previous post, we can assume that Hidan no Aria is potentially a bigger hit than Kore wa Zombie Desuka and Zero no Tsukaima. From the information in this thread, Kore wa Zombie Desuka’s first two DVD/Blu ray together sold 3,000+ per vol and Zero no Tsukaima second season sold 5,000+ per vol on average. These ended up getting another season, so if the sales for Hidan no Aria can reach 5,000 we have a very good chance of getting another season. Even better if it can sell as much as first seasons of Shana and Index, which sold over 10,000 per vol. We’ll just have to see when Hidan no Aria’s first couple of volumes are released. If we want another season, it would be helpful if many of us buy the DVD/Blu ray at stores or order on internet. Last edited by AP24; 2011-06-14 at 20:01. |

I hope that they do not push through, honestly.
Hidan no Aria is one of those projects of J.C. Staff which makes you wonder if they really are good at adopting other forms of media into an anime series.

I posted this in the Nichijou thread so I might as well past it here.

Anyway the novels haven't received the massive bump the Stratos novels had, and the anime is going to be nowhere near IS sales. |
