It sells good but not phenomenal. The novels got a good boost. Probably 70-80k for early volumes and 40-50 for later volumes and the anime BDs are estimated at like 8k. Unfortunately, we are talking about madhouse here. Madhouse has a terrible track record when it comes to season 2s regardless of sales. Which means, don't hold your breath for it.

I'm hoping there will be more seasons :S Any news? Is it selling well in Japan? Gate : The anime started strong, but it felt like a really weak finale. Rokka sells terribly. Like. Really really bad. Both anime and novel. Barely any boost either No idea about any 2nd season
are the BD1 sales already out or is that still in the future? All I heard about was massive amounts of pre-orders canceled after ep2/3 and Twitter exploding with people raging about it. Not sure if that kept going on for the later BDs as well.

This. Madhouse just isn't really known to follow up with season-2's, even if it's a huge success. Like you said, overlord is on 8k average. NGNL was usually between 5k-8k (I saw the first one above 8k at some point and think it dropped down to ~6k for the later ones?) and people in here just said you shouldn't hold your breath.
That's not because of sales, both are selling really good. It's just the studio in this case.

Don't hold your breath, even with as well as overlord is selling (i think i heard the LN had to be reprinted twice since Anime began airing?) madhouse season 2s are pretty rare, granted it's not madhouse that decides if there will be a season 2.

Yeah, I wish Godeater was evolving as much... I really like the graphics of it but it feels so slow/boring. The ending of the latest episode also kinda confused me.

I hear god eater's 9th episode will be the last planned episode airing on TV lmao
wonder if they're just gonna release the final episodes with the BD release or what the fuck they're planning.

Really? I thought Madhouse had at least a decent amount of sequels. They might not be the studio that rides on one franchise forever but they have some long franchises with sequels and completed adaptions on their list. Anyways, it's not like I would be exactly sad if there won't be a sequel to Overlord. It's just that it would be nice if there would be one.
As for the sales, yeah in raw numbers it's not phenomenal but the volumes are all over the top sale charts. So compared to a lot of other things it is selling phenomenal.

Not like it matters. There wasn't any plot to be told anyways.

I liked Roka's art style, and the greater premise.
I just wish, at some point, they'd ever have gotten to that greater premise. The mystery isn't bad, but too much dialogue without being as entertaining as a Monogatari.
|
Speaking of Madhouse and cliffhangers. Mahouka was done by them as well and I can only assume that sold like crazy.
Given the studio I thought we'd maybe get a s2 in the far away future. Surely not anytime soon, but I was pretty sure they'd release some OVAs with how good it was selling. Like the beach-episode and all the stuff that was hinted at in the end.
They didn't even do that when really... a single OVA could cover those short stories but they apparently just really don't like following up on anime. Moreso than other studios.
|
Madhouse is weird. They have no problem doing long running stuff or even putting in 24 eps for Mahouka but then just kind of don't do more. At least they not Brain's Base. There'd be no hope then or would there just be more hope as someone else will do a shitty job for a 2nd season but at least there'd be a 2nd season?

There was enough material to have another season of Mahouka when it finished airing. So I kind of doubt you'll ever see a 2nd season now years later but then again Mushishi got a 2nd season. Still no Black Lagoon either.

Iirc the guy that was behind Madhouse left a couple years ago and they probably have someone else in charge ever since. So probably a change in direction if you compare it with older stuff.

Sometimes I find myself assuming that they pick up shit from time to time to generate some money to do the awesome shows that don't sell. But that still doesn't explain why they wouldn't pick up old shit that sold well when they need to generate some more money.

Well yeah, he "funded" MAPPA as far as I'm aware. Maybe people are talking about Madhouses track record for the last 2 years then? I don't think that's a good basis for talking about sequels.

@Numy: For Mushishi someone decided that a full adaption of it should be done, that's all. I'm still sour though that it changed licenses for the sequels to Aniplex and thus will probably never get an english dub. Dub was so much more chillo for this show because I could immerse myself into the world much better.

Overlord has the lizardman arc so that will be interesting if an S2 comes. Even if they skim it there will still be at least 1-2 entire episodes with no Nazarick characters to bring viewers back into Overlord.

so basicly it started off by introducting a loli (?) vampire that is on the verge of death and needs some kind of life-essence or whatever they called it. So she sneaks into Sora's room and tries to give him a blowjob, because that fluid has the best concentration of whatever it's called. Obviously. So after facepalming really hard at that the actual story begins and they have to deal with mermaids. And their "racial trait" is stupidity. Literally. They're all just retarded. Ended up pretty annoying for me.

iirc that dhampir is a shota, not a loli
assuming we're thinking about the same character obviously

I don't remember any big pre-order canceling for rokka. The only one I remember of that recently was Tomino's new gundam which was pretty bleh.
Rokka just never ever sold good to begin with. Combined with the fact that its animated by a new studio like Passione, i'm not expecting anything
And there won't be a mahouka s2 because madhouse doesn't like it. NGNL is more likely.

Mermaid arc was pretty underwhelming and well...weird as fuck, especially that one character.
They wouldn't even need to do that arc next, just skip to Jibril and elves or go into the flashback of how the war of the gods ended.. But nope the anime ended with them challenging the highest ranked of the races to a game lol so it was really just a w/e ending for the glorified advert that it was.
