Just when it seemed only generic moe and giant robot anime had any chance of attaining blockbuster status, the combined sales of the Bakemonogatari Blu-ray and DVD attained a staggering 44,000 in their first week, beating even K-ON!’s 41,000.
Oricon’s figures for 9/28 to 10/4 indicate Bakemonogatari 1 beat all comers and sold 29,000 copies in BD and a further 15,000 in DVD for a total of 44,000.
By comparison, K-ON!’s then record breaking first volume total sales came to 41,000, and those of Macross Frontier to 39,000. Haruhi managed a paltry 29,000, although non-late night anime (invariably involving giant robots) have managed as much as 57,000 in the first week.
Shaft finally appears to have struck gold, and it seems possible its shameless tactics of broadcasting an unfinished anime may not backfire after all…

c-c-c-c-c-c-c-c-combo breakerr!!!!
... don't you guys ever want to stop saying "c-c-c-c-combo breaker!"? Seriously, it's kinda lose its charm when said for the umpteenth time. Time to find a new catchy phrase, boys and girls. And try to actually invent one for a change..
c-c-c-c-c-c-combo breakerrrrrrrrrrr!
Hanekawa-saaaaaaaaaannnn!!!
SHINOBU-CHAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! T~T
Kanbaru-san? No?
HA! Take that, KyoAni!
Goddamn trolls...
I don't even know what this series is, nor do I really care that much; I'm just intrigued by its success. Which will probably make me know what it is and care.
Excellent.
*sees DAT SLAPPED ASS* HAHA OH WOW
*sees Nadeko OP* *head explodes*
Bakemonogatari... so was it any good?
woooot!
If Sengoku's OP could have another title, "Moe Mindfuck" would be pretty suitable. I don't think I'll ever be the same after seeing it.
~ OUTSTANDING!!!
You know, maybe Taro Aso had something going with the anime museum. It's the only thing keeping the economy alive.
EPIC FUCKING AWESOME
I was worried it'd do badly and be hugely underappreciated, but beating K-On... ~<3
supercell is probably one of the reasons why it didnt flop.
Who the hell is supercell? /troll
supercell is the one who made the ed song
"Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari (君の知らない物語)" by supercell; performed by Gazelle

noob much?
I still don't know who supercell is ._. /troll
Dind't you see the fucking "/troll" sign cocksucker..
the ed was legendary, but would still enjoy the anime just as much even without,
supercell rules...
hooray
Artefact, this picture of mai waifu... where did you get it?
Such pictures are for mai eyes only! >|
Otaku are not so stupid after all >.<
true. I hope Shaft are not stupid, too, and we get a Nisemonogatari next year.
That's more than impressive. o_o
WHAT THE FUCK NOT MY K-ON! ARRRGGGHH THAT SHAFT SHIT!! what-da-fuck i can't believe that stupid shit stain of a show beat k-on!? i mean COME ON!...
I lol'd
sorry buddy, you just got pwned by SHAFT!
Don't you mean he got SHAFTed?
+1
+2
I see what you did thar.
+9000 XDDD
+9999999999999999999999999999999999999999 XD
Ohh.. Let me join!
-999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999
Did I do it right!?
C-c-c-combo breaker-ker..!
SHAFTED
Looks like he can't dig that.
LOL...
Its not very often that one sees a wonderful "Staple" of a girl who "Shafts" a group of girls who drink Tea and play in a band.
unfortunately K-on! still has more income because of their merchandise. ex(guitars,ties, pantsu bowls)
I'm sure Bakemonogatari will sell just as much with their staplers, stationery-print pantsu, and many more stationery.
That merchandise isn't directly related to K-ON!. I doubt KyoAni will see a penny from the guitar sales due to K-ON!.
I really want a Senjougahara stapler now.
speaking of merchandise is there any Senjougahara or Nadeko figs?
Staplers shall be sold by the thousand
Finally, some fucking anime merch that I can actually use...
You know my dick still hurts from looking at this.

~ Its only - "a temporary pain you feel" - it will go away ...(eventually)...
Besides, How can you not be amazed, as you gaze upon the lushness of her eyes, and body of the one giving it to you? ~ that makes it worth all the pain in the world.
Must have Senjoharaha stapler ! ><
Sorry bout you damn luck.
