And damn....Comet Lucifer. You kind of hope original shows are going to find success at some point or we're just not going to be seeing much of them for a while.



Psycho-Pass and Shirobako, just to name two. Charlotte also sold well and Aldnoah.Zero somehow made it to the best anime list in a popularity contest, so there's that as well. That's 4, off the top of my head, from the past 4 years. Psycho-Pass and Shirobako, just to name two.

Shirobako is the only one of those that achieved that not piggybacking off of already mega popular elements though. Shows like Comet Lucifer didn't start with some mega popular eroge authors name slapped on it as writer/creator or have a mega popular music artist and/or cast member to draw an audience in (well it does have Ayaka Ohashi, Inori Minase and Suzuko Mimori, but they aren't being taken advantage of at all in the packaging and promotion) and so far the package offers no must have collectors bonuses that I'm aware of like any of those franchises. If they want to drop some sort of concert event ticket and/or meet and greet type thing on it to take advantage of Mimori(Love Live), Ohashi (iDOLM@STER CG, Aikatsu) and Minase (Symphogear) that'd be a likely quick fix on at least the first volumes fortunes.



As of today though Comet Lucifer essentially offers absolutely nothing as a premium priced package to those that would spend money on Blu-Rays as of this moment in time which even Shirobako did before it started to catch on. Just an 8 page booklet and not even so much as a poster or music CD. It's like there's literally no confidence there (it's supposed to be a commercial for a cell phone game ultimately but it looks like it's headed down the Buddy Complex route already) and Rewrite should do several dozen times better easily as a Blu-Ray package for 8-Bit when it comes time for them to use the KEY brand and it's pre-installed loyal audience to their advantage .



God Eater will also be getting a game tie-in release next week which unlike the iDOLM@STER ones will not be just arbitrarily added to the total here let alone counted at all like past iDOLM@STER and Macross ones for what I can only call selective reasoning and I expect the same to be the case for the off shot packages containing the next sets of volumes which I get the sense people will be determined not to count like the Gravure For Your iDOLM@STER packaging. I plan on at the very least mentioning its sales though cause frankly I just hate selective and arbitrary reasoning and withholding information in those cases just because a show is polarizing. The only problem is there are like 6 different versions only 2 of which on the PS4 contain the anime so it'll be kind of hard to tell which is which, though given that the 2 anime tie-in ones seems to be selling the best of the 3 PS4 versions perhaps not quite so much.
