Would be suprised if it sells more than 5K There is a reason most anime produced is highschool moe kawaii loli schoolgirls and prepubescent androgynous sheltered middle school boys doing slice of life ecchi shounen harem romcom things in an alternate reality video game highschool battle tournament in highschool.



Because for whatever reason that shit sells.

I don't think you have any clue on what you are talking about. That ''shit'' don't automatically sell. It just has a more reliable buyer base than historical anime for example.



Taking ecchi/harem highschool anime for example. In the entire year only the minority of these titles sold average or above average in disc sales. They are made, because they easy to, and rely on merchandise sales to break even. Same goes for ''moe'' anime. There is only very few hits or successful anime, like K-ON or most recently that usagi anime. There are many clones that straight up bomb on sales. Ecchi anime and maybe ''moe'' anime, if I'm not mistaken are not as saturated now. They are less than before, because the trend is not as it's peak, and is declining.



Most common trend in recent years are LN adaptations. And those also don't do good on average. They also depend more on a boost to the light novels themselves.



There is really no guaranteed formula for success or to be a hit. An anime will have to have more than a couple of popular elements to have it's ''shit'' sell, and. Who thought a remake of an old gag anime would be a mega hit? nobody. So really dismissing what type of anime bomb and what sells is really ignorant and shallow. Many unique anime have become successful and vice versa. I don't think you have any clue on what you are talking about. That ''shit'' don't automatically sell.
