The author of Umaru manga confirmed that s2 got greenlit because

A win is a win, who cares how we got there.

>>156329712
Stalkerfags on suicide watch.

>>156329712
Good news in that merch matters a lot.

I'm pretty sure he's including BD's when he says "umaru related goods"

>>156329712
This is why salesfags are retarded and stalker threads are unecessary cancer.

>>156329712
Great. I bought merch.

Stalker threads are /a/ destinated shitposting threads.
The thread visited by the the most possibly different people in this board. Kyoanifags, shounenshitters, edgy anons, idolfags, everyone.
Stalker threads are the Olympics of /a/, the place where all of us gather for some healthy bantz and poking fun at each other.

The point is that BD sales are not the only thing worth looking at. Certain people in certain threads that we have every fucking day seem to forget this.

>>156329712
Can't believe Umaru's author confirmed he has manga assistants.

Doesn't seem a 4koma manga would require manga assistants.

>>156329712
The companies are just retarded, 4K pays off the entire anime cost they are not losing any money making more.
This is why publishers should fuck off from anime and let the studio's take the I.P. rights.

>>156336800
It's not 4koma, it's paneled like a regular comedy manga.

What about reading the actual manga before talking about it?

>>156329712
he's just making a joke about it, in actuality, it's probably because it's popular in china and they are most likely going to air it at the same time as the live action TV drama

>tfw your nendo contributes to umaru s2

The IP rights belong to the author, not the publishing company. What the company owns is the publishing rights.

>>156337205
Who will play little Umaru?

>>156330136
agreed

>>156332533
Does he really?
In the top right panel you can see DVD and グッズ, but when he talks about fans at the start of the left page, there's only グッズ
>>156332641
BD sales are still a good indicator of how popular the series is. Late night anime that sold less than 1k won't magically sell tons of merch. Also, as the OP said, Umaru sold 4k on average(4,308 to be precise), which is pretty good.

>>156329712
Why would that be a problem? It's not like he's the animator either. His work is getting more advertisement. That's a win.

Will we see this animated too?

>>156329712
That guy from Trigger who did the AMA here said that in most cases with anime, merch sales matter WAAAAAAY more than BD sales do. So this is hardly surprising.
