Sword Art Online Movie: Ordinal Scale --> 126,812

the franchise is still going strong unlike AoT... Sword Art Online Movie: Ordinal Scale --> 126,812the franchise is still going strong unlike AoT...



The manga is still selling over 1 million copies per volume, its getting a sequel game, its getting a s3 sequel it has the most watched views online in Japan spring 2017, it still sells merch. The series is still going strong overall, don't downplay a entire series just because its doing so well in the blu ray department.

That is true, I think they hurt them self with that expensive price tag it had. Granted I wasn't expecting it to sell close to what the first season did, but I was expecting at least 20k. I believe that is what sao 2 did which wasn't a big decline compare to snk.



But I believe the 4 years wait really hurt, sao only took two years for its second season in comparison. But that is no excuse still, since sao is still doing good after 3 whole years without the anime, and when s3 airs it will be 4 years since the first season, and I expect it to sell well.



So yeah, I get what you're saying.



Hopefully s3 of snk will really be 2 cour and with levi playing a bigger role in s3, maybe he can be the catalyst for a much better sales for season 3. Maybe it was the lack of levi is what cost the decline in sales. Well, we shall see. That is true, I think they hurt them self with that expensive price tag it had.
