But then it actually makes sense; I'm sure we can all agree that animes are generally more well-known than light novels. Before Index S1 aired, Index wasn't as well-known, but then Index S1 brought in a lot more attention. (which is, of course, the whole point of making an anime adaptation)

After all, the demand for anime DVDs is almost exclusive to collectors. And how many would settle for gaps in their collection, especially when they have to sink in so much money per volume? Anyway, this is just the first volume of Index II, so we'll have to see how sales hold up. Railgun probably helped the series a lot, but it remains to be seen if the new customers intend to collect the entire season or if they're just buying the first volume. |

Either way, a second season of Railgun and a third of Index would be possible looking at all the discs sales. |

Don't know if there will be a new Index-tan but looking at the release pattern for the 1st season, I guess there probably will be one for the last volume or so. The information booklet contains terminologies, information about the Roman church, character info and story summaries.

Yeah, close to 12,000 copies int he first week definitely isn't small.
And I_Am_Kami just said that Ore no Imouto was at first place with 17,000 copies, with Index following in second place.

Well, since anime is a niche market the threshold for profitability is adjusted accordingly. An anime only needs to sale around 3000-5000 copies per volume to be profitable; not to mention merchandising and book sales, which popular anime like Index and Railgun also sale well in.
