This list covers sales surveyed from December 12, 2016 to June 11, 2017. It includes the raw yen totals of Blu-ray Discs, DVDs, music CDs, novels in print, and manga in print, but not games, film tickets, digital downloads, and other forms of media sales.
>not games, film tickets, digital downloads, and other forms of media sales. kek If this was an actual realistic list, the top notchers would be Gundam, AKB0048, One Piece, Love Live, Im@s, and of course, Fate Franchise
Hudson Bell
I forgot to mention Touhou, Kancolle, and Kemono Friends
Camden Jackson
The list is pointless. It doesn't count merchandise, games ,etc.
Ayden Perez
>but not games, film tickets, digital downloads, and other forms of media sales. So it's pointless for sales circlejerking, but that's not going to stop you cancerous sales faggots.
Jordan Wilson
You also forgot Dragon Ball
Wyatt Watson
>No naruto
Narufags BTFO
Caleb Lewis
Everything too mainstream like Pokemon and shit is just commonsense
Caleb Myers
For the millionnth time, there's no record of its sales out there for people to see, because it's an extra.
But you're going to keep playing dumb and ask this the next time anyway.
Ethan Hughes
Lurk more fucking retard.
Sebastian Myers
>Yuri on Ice sold that much
Jesus christ.
Colton Flores
Literally the only time you'll see a yuri title that high.
Jonathan Ramirez
But One Piece has been up there for decades! And YOI isn't even a year old!
>tfw you live in a time where YOI is the best selling tv anime of all time
Levi Stewart
But yuri was supposed to conquer the earth
Brayden Campbell
wtf is High & Low?
Benjamin Martinez
> Full-Time Wife Escapist What the heck is that? Hang on, I'll google.
Oh, lord. Never mind.
Nolan Cox
>One Piece defeated Gundam >Im@s defeated Love Live >Attack on Titan defeated Kamen Rider >Yuuri on Ice even comparable to anyone
>Fucking pokemon, which is responsible for 6% of Japanese GDP is waaay down below
Brandon Bell
The movie was so popular that it made the manga huge. It will get an anime likely.
Andrew Gonzalez
Resident Evil is just Pachinko Machines these days.
What the fuck is this shitty list.
Bentley Barnes
IDOL AKBAR LLFAGS ON SUICIDE WATCH
Connor Bell
Fujoshit.
Alexander White
>The Full-Time Wife Escapist Oh, it's that J-drama with the meme ED dance
Cameron Reed
Seriously, man? Can't a man enjoy watching badass bro-on-bro fisting without any of you calling it gay?
Jaxon Russell
>fateshit tops star wars and potter
Kevin Long
Shhh...
Aiden Ward
Kamen Rider?
Ethan White
Watch Crows if you want something good, HL is defintely gay idol shit.
Leo Morgan
FGO pulls in like 1m$ a day every day, in this case for half a year. Unless Star Wars/Potter releases a film soon it'll stay that way.
Sebastian Scott
Dude, its the very founder of Super Sentai and was where Power Rangers based on
Aiden Perez
Are you an idiot? Do you even know how much merch Star Wars and Potter sells in a single minute?
Brody Myers
I see a purple power ranger wearing a green bike, is that kamen rider?
Luke Murphy
Please all franchise you mention is nothing and going to get anal devastated by a fucking POKEMON.
Ayden Baker
whats Crows
Austin Bell
We are talking about Japan, Star Wars and HP aren't even in the top merchandise sellers.
Aaron Morris
Well, if you are gonna play it that way then Mario is going to devastate Pokemon
The world of celestial giants is just too mainstream to argue about
Cooper Roberts
>Token Ranbu >But no Kancolle on list.
They really fucked up hard on Anime or what?
Michael Peterson
You should check again. Mario isn't that big. It's big, but don't underestimate Pokemon
Kevin Perry
Isn't Pokémon the most valued media franchise? The estimates I have seen put it around 20 billion and are considered underestimations.
Logan Collins
It's time for more suffering in season 2 major
Jordan Lopez
Pokemon is very close to catch up with Mario, despite years of advantage that mario have.
Shit literally prints money.
Aaron Peterson
Top-Selling Animation in Japan on Blu-ray Disc/DVD by Series: 2017 (First Half)
12 49,925 JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable
Part 5 confirmed?
Hudson Cook
Pokemon is far bigger than Mario, Pokemon is even bigger than Star Wars and HP. Recent estimates put Mario at a value of 10 billion. Pokemon at 20.
Ryan Hernandez
To put merchandise sales in perspective, Bandai Namco made $600 million with dragonball and $750 million with gundam last year.
Gavin Cooper
50k BD total is pretty good, right?
Nathaniel Lopez
For how long it was and the QUALITY from the TV anime, I'd say it's alright.
Gavin Scott
Last year Diamond sold 50k, so yes part 5 confirmed.
Dominic Miller
well that's fucking obvious, those franchises have been popular for +40 years and are practically household names.
like saying mario sold +1billion in merch.
Luis Gutierrez
>Star Wars at 17th holy shit
Anthony Rivera
It flat out said it exclude games. And for Gundam, it doesn't include gunpla, which is where the real value is.
Seriously, this list is very flawed since you're comparing using incomplete data and putting together franchise with different focus.
Chase Jones
It helps that Pokemon is much more diversified than Mario.
Bentley Butler
>Tofu Pro Wrestling
Josiah Price
>power rangers was based on super sentai
Huh. The more you know
Nicholas Roberts
No, you're missing the bigger point, it means the list is pointless. What's the point of calling it top selling if you're going restrict what can count for stuff like Gundam.
Adam Johnson
The power rangers you watched as a kid are two different shows spliced together. The americans shot the scenes for humans part while all the fighting in suits against monsters? Those were the actual jap footage.
Lincoln Diaz
Digimon is still going?
Jack Lewis
Naruto video games sell more than bone peace manga
Nicholas Butler
Where's Pokémon?
Luke Jackson
#23 A joke more awful than German comedy
Noah Moore
IM@S reigns supreme.
Carson Green
It's only anime stuff? IM@S ftw
Henry Martin
That list didn't include merchandise.
Bentley Davis
Yes, there's an Evangelion homage in it as well.
Luis Anderson
>Yo-kai Watch
Brandon Foster
>They still keep the no fangame policy.
I dunno if this is smart or retarded as fuck, because Kancolle Kai on vita was a fucking abomination, even the browser game was miles better.
Meanwhile kemono friends got gorillions of fangames quick.
Nathan Perry
>even the browser game was miles better What How What is the gameplay
Samuel Perez
do you even know what kancolle is
Jacob Watson
I do, I played it, and I hated it Which is why I'm wondering how the fuck does a handheld game manage to have worse gameplay than the browser game. Arashi a best
Carson Wright
ye i was confused.
Owen Harris
>Godzilla Series still that high
Wyatt Thompson
>he play video games for gameplay
Matthew Barnes
It was pretty much the same as browser game but dumbed down, it got some QoL stuff but the ugly ass UI don't help in nothing.
Also they delayed back and forth that crap.
Bentley Edwards
What is it with Japs and this idol shit?
Matthew Diaz
>let's make a game for a handheld >except it's also gonna be a waiting game with minimal input by the player and still has grindan out of the ass Someone kill the devs
Eli Foster
Eh.. If makes you happy, Sega AM2 made a arcade game with 3d models and a "proper" gameplay.
But, you, never ever etc. Kadokawa is just sitting on IP milking it to death, I really find that no fangame policy silly as fuck, considering that they said that the game don't make that much money anyway.
James Baker
>AKB0048 Wait, what? I thought this was relatively obscure.
Spoilered for completely off-topic: Is anyone else getting bogus "image appears to be corrupted" errors with Sup Forums X right now, or just me?
Joshua Watson
Yes. S8 is airing right now.
Elijah Harris
Well, it was based on AKB48 - the #1 idol group in Japan. Even bigger than Love Live
Lucas Edwards
>What is it with Japs and this idol shit? Japs otaku are retarded.
Isaiah Price
>Wait, what? I thought this was relatively obscure. Pretty sure he means the whole 3D idol franchise it's from which is the biggest one in Japan.
Justin Jones
Didn't LL blocked fanwork or something? Shit is pretty stupid considering that this thing pretty much moves any IP.
Hudson Sullivan
they only blocked bootleg merchandise
Liam Lewis
This list doesn't include fanwork,merchandise, etc.... It's pretty much a pointless list , since a substantial amount of anime revenue comes from merchandising.
Connor Powell
>yfw Animal Friends didn't even sell past the Manabi Line
Kayden Campbell
When merchandise is included, Pokemon would No. 1 by a very, very large margin
Caleb Martinez
The vita game was made by a different group of devs who delayed it for over a year and then rushed it out the door when Kadokawa discovered they had barely made any progress. They already cancelled support too so you can't even buy it aside from second hand. It was truly an abortion. The pace was actually slower since the battle cutscenes were somehow longer and much uglier.
Evan Harris
Where's HxH?
Elijah Torres
>no other forms of media sales
Gundam earned like 80 billion yen in like 2013 or something. What's the point of making a top-selling list if you don't even include merchandise, the main selling point of animu?
Adam Scott
>49,925 >JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable I thought it'd sold like 6k BDs per volume?
Jaxson Gutierrez
Ah nevermind, it's total sales
Logan Edwards
BDs and DVDs are the most sure indicator of how well an anime is making a profit. Literally nothing else matters. I learned this from reading Sup Forums sales threads and everyone in there knows what they're talking about.
Ethan Hall
>live action adaptation of a josei manga is literally almost as big as LL and above scores of chuunishit YOUR TIME IS ROLLING OVER MY TIME IS COMING SOON
Jackson Ross
FGO alone in 2016 probably made over 3 billion, include the rest and Aniplex is getting over 5 billion from them last year in sales as a publisher.
Ryan Edwards
It's not exactly that difficult to out sale an established franchise using well-written and well-marketed creative work.
Unfortunately, it won't be a long lived victory as the other party has lots of merch, games, and internet presence to keep its revenue going inspite of all the years of fame.
Jacob Russell
Any list without fate in the top 5 is a list without mobile and that means it means jackshit
