It's Blu-ray Sales That Matter: Buying Power of Otaku Maintains Anime Market Anonymous 05/09/11(Mon)19:57 No.49201779

According to the Association of Japanese Animations, the sales of the anime video media in Japan have increased for the first time in five years while the number of TV anime titles has been dropping since 2007. The recovery of the video media sales is attributed to the successful transition of the anime market to Blu-ray, which is more expensive than DVD.

Mainichi Newspaper reported that the Blu-ray sales are vital for the success of core-fan oriented anime, which are usually aired after midnight. One of the major anime producers said "Even if the rating of a midnight anime marks 10%, it's doesn't matter for us." Another producer said a TV anime can be regarded as a hit if sales per volume are more than 10,000 copies. dtshyk: this "10,000 copies" means the sales to the retailers, not to the individual customers.

One volume of TV anime Blu-ray usually costs 5,000 - 7,000 yen ($62 - $88) for two or three episodes. If you collect all the volumes of one season, it will be around $400 - $500. The high purchasing power of core anime fans has been supporting the TV anime market.

Sudo Tadashi, the president of Anime!Anime!, said TV anime produced by popular anime studios like SHAFT and Kyoto Animation sell well because the Blu-rays of their anime are not simple video media but communication tools among the fans. The TV airing of such anime arouses enthusiasm among the audience and stimulates energetic discussions online. People purchase the Blu-ray as a souvenir of the whole excitements.

Its overpriced because all the fingers there are in the Blu-Ray pie, also there no transition from DVD to Blu-Ray as it was from DVD from VHS and even the DVD market taken wide hits, part due to Hollywood making shit after shit movie and because of how digital distribution have overtaken the classical "video rental store".

Of course by keeping this types of prices it continues to help Anime being a niche but this is hardly new, even of in the DVD days things were much better.

You know, man? Sometimes I just hope it's "coating". Simple excuse for posting more cute girls, so it won't be obvious as just another image dump.

But if it really is, then damn we are in a bad situation.

>>	Anonymous 05/09/11(Mon)20:22 No.49202560 >>49202257 supply and demand; after a certain threshold lowering the price doesn't effect sales anymore and you make more profit selling a higher price to a smaller audience.
