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

So it's pointless for sales circlejerking, but that's not going to stop you cancerous sales faggots.

>>158866913

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.

whats Crows

>>158867870
We are talking about Japan, Star Wars and HP aren't even in the top merchandise sellers.

>>158867917
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

You should check again. Mario isn't that big. It's big, but don't underestimate Pokemon

>>158868097
Isn't Pokémon the most valued media franchise?
The estimates I have seen put it around 20 billion and are considered underestimations.

Pokemon is very close to catch up with Mario, despite years of advantage that mario have.

Shit literally prints money.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable

Part 5 confirmed?

>>158868345
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.

To put merchandise sales in perspective, Bandai Namco made $600 million with dragonball and $750 million with gundam last year.

>>158868377
50k BD total is pretty good, right?

>>158868580
For how long it was and the QUALITY from the TV anime, I'd say it's alright.

>>158868377
Last year Diamond sold 50k, so yes part 5 confirmed.

>>158868482
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.

>>158866637
>Star Wars at 17th
holy shit

>>158867602
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.

>>158868345
It helps that Pokemon is much more diversified than Mario.

Huh. The more you know

>>158868877
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.

>>158869623
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.

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.

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.

>>158870784
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.

Pretty sure he means the whole 3D idol franchise it's from which is the biggest one in Japan.

>>158871260
Didn't LL blocked fanwork or something? Shit is pretty stupid considering that this thing pretty much moves any IP.

>>158871323
they only blocked bootleg merchandise

>>158871323
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.

>yfw Animal Friends didn't even sell past the Manabi Line

When merchandise is included,
Pokemon would No. 1 by a very, very large margin

>>158870784
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.

Where's HxH?

>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?

>>158868377
>49,925

I thought it'd sold like 6k BDs per volume?

>>158873259
Ah nevermind, it's total sales

>>158872984
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 /a/ sales threads and everyone in there knows what they're talking about.

>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

>>158866637
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.

>>158874141
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.

Any list without fate in the top 5 is a list without mobile and that means it means jackshit
