Those Tsukihime sales must be pre-orders in case an anime is ever made.

I would love to see more FSN anime. Maybe make a new season that covers the unlimited blade works route or do a Fate/Zero or Tiger Colosseum ova.

how did the anime that doesn't exist get onto the top 10. Besides everyone knows that there is no such thing as a Tsukihime anime.

Also, I'm sure sooner or later they will eventually come around and do something like an alternate sotry with the Fate characters. Someting like Illya being a magical girl, the Tiger Collseum bit, or even something that involves Saber Lilly in some way shape or form one of these days.

Most of them are eroge, and even Clannad has eroge products in the franchise as you say... There isn't really much difference?

Then why title is "Eroge Anime" instead of “visual novels”? Grip marketing? ;)

I did say "visual novels" in the first sentence.

But Clannad is NOT an eroge! Only the spin-off Tomoyo After has sex scenes, and KyoAni is not animating that.

Nanoha started as a spin-off from Triangle Hearts, which is an eroge.

The Nanoha series spun off from the Triangle Heart eroge trilogy (sort of a magical girl variant set in an alternate universe - stylistically, there's little resemblance between the two), but they're original productions. Definitely not adaptation.

Why is Nanoha A's on the list as well? There was an eroge for that?

Updated to correct that ambiguity, thanks.

It seems unlikely that Blu-ray will have any significant effect on these older titles, but for newer ones it could become quite important I think.

And yes, 10,000 is definitely the magic number... Much fanfare when the recent Strike Witches DVD broke through that mark.

By the way, these figures are actually average sold per volume, not total sold. All of the series in the list are above-average sellers (including Utawarerumono -- but do the figures include Blu-Ray sales?), and the typical rule of thumb is that any late-night anime selling above 10,000/disc is doing quite well.
