In terms of disc market sales, 06 is a "master's move" between "Rebellious Lelouch" and "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya", and it is an open-board duel between "SOS Regiment" and "Black Knights" - compared to the animation that ranks behind, these two works are far ahead and unbeatable.

They are "fairy fights", competing for the first and second places in the annual sales rankings, and the animation behind them is destined to eat dust behind them...... The two are at a height that other animations can't reach, and the gap between second and third place is blurred.

Objectively speaking, "Lelouxiu" won a game in the first hand, and its first sales were about 3000 ahead of Lianggong, but the final average volume sales were still Lianggong had the last laugh...... In terms of late sales, Lianggong pressed back.

In fact, the momentum of the Liang Palace during the broadcast is superior, and the messy gimmicks and the widely popular "group dance" have created a rare environment for the continuation of its popularity and the explosion of sales.

The battle between these two works is exciting enough, but no one expected that the third place that came up later would be so "full of highlights".

Because it seems that it should have been "in vain", but it has come up with a data second only to "immortals", which can be described as the number one master in the "mortal realm...... No one thought that such a little white face would overturn countless big men in the same competition.

Looking at it in hindsight, the top 10 first/final sales of this year's animation are as follows:

Zero's Messenger, 5879-7978

The Flying Witch, 6837—9540

A girl falls in love with her sister, 9591-9591

Death Note, 15021—15021

Gintama, 15448—23108

Kanon，18170—22217

Fate/stay night，26047—34127

Infinite Stratos，32，872—39885

Code Geass ，45367—72603

The Melancholy of Spring in the Cool Palace, 42525-77154

Except for the third one, the rest of the works are "well deserved".

This year, Mad Poihat's two original animations were both in the top 10, and July's "Flying Witch" failed to break through the best-selling line as they had expected, and finally stopped at the 9500 level due to a slight weakness in the sales figures of subsequent volumes.

The first work supervised by Miyadai was only 500 copies away from the best-selling line, and I have to say that it was a pity.

If you take another 500 volumes, then maybe someone will call him a "genius overseer".

But there is nothing wrong with this achievement, it is understandable and convincing...... If other animation companies think about it, if they take the kind of photography and drawing method to express and highlight the appeal of the female characters' clothing, they think they can sell this kind of sales, even better than Mad Poihat.

This is within the common sense of all people.

But what about IS?

In the process of playing, its topic is not as good as other popular works in October, but when its sales data comes out, it is really "famous" - this product actually won Fate, and by the way, it won Kanon, Gintama, Death Note and other popular adaptations of animation, ranking third in the year.

So when many people in the industry saw this data, they suddenly had a feeling like they had been stepped on by an elephant, and they held it in their chests.

The reason for this is that the composition of the story does not match the results it has achieved - although the story routine of IS is new, it is not very brilliant, but the sales it eventually achieves are blinding.

This is obviously different from the kind of animation of the Cool Palace.,The animation of the Cool Palace is an animation with super popularity during the broadcast.,And when you look at the sales, it breaks through 20,000、50,000、70,000,Everyone's mood is rising.,But IS's performance is more like a "dark horse among dark horses".,It's as if it has been unknown before it goes on sale.。

But this view is a bit one-sided, because most people's attention is focused on animations like Lelouch during this period, so IS is a bit ignored.

However, ignoring does not mean that it does not exist, and the sales achieved are actually a testament to its previous topicality.

But anyway, this sales are a bit outrageous, and it can't be as convincing as Suzumiya and Lelouch, so this contrast makes the topic of IS more and more intense.

Under this trend, some people even bought IS's DVD because they wanted to see "why harem animation can sell so highly...... Topicality has become a promotional tool again.

Objectively speaking, the graphics of this animation are worthy of recognition - after going through the previous works, Mad Poihat's photography department already has a feeling of touching the door, and the graphics and color performance are very good.

At the same time, the advantages of its expression performance part are fully reflected, which shows the strength of a performer like Yukiko Ryumoto.

However, the action part of the characters is still ordinary, and the comprehensive expressiveness of the combat part is weaker than that of the previous "Black Rock Shooter".

The mecha combat part is more undulating, some places can only be said to be average, and some places are above the level...... But these are outsourced jobs.

And there are many places in its story composition that are extremely illogical, and even with a bit of a "harem animation for the harem animation", the setting is simple and rough, and the plot is how simple and how to push it...... This is not at all the comfort that came with the previous "Flying Witch", and it's hard to imagine that this is the work of an animation company for two seasons before and after.

In general, IS is commendable in terms of production, after all, Mad Poihat invested 250 million in the production of this, which is 2.5 times that of "The Flying Witch", and the production staff are also conscientious, basically there is no serious collapse, and the picture quality of IS can be called a penny for every penny......

However, the core of its story can only be staggering.

Why would you pay for such a story? Is this the level of otaku aesthetics...... A lot of people are beginning to wonder about such a question.

But the palace played on behalf of them, and they had no reason to answer for this.

With the buzz of the topic brought by IS's amazing results, Mad Poihat has a feeling of Kyoto Animation in April at this time, and although this popularity comes and goes quickly, the animation company has finally entered the eyes of most people this year.

In any case, 2006 was quite an extraordinary year for the island nation's animation industry. This year, Kyoto Animation told colleagues in the industry that there is a lot to be done in light animation; Sunrise Animation is saying that "machine combat animation and plot-oriented works are still the king of hard and resounding".

However, at this time, an accident happened.,No one expected that there was a little little dot who was unknown before following them.,And then weakly picked up the sentence "We think the harem animation is also ......"

The whole style and taste were pulled down in an instant, and people were talking about art and creation, and as a result, a gentleman who sold meat laid out his sales figures.

It seems that the industry is "smeared" by such a guy, as if the quality of otaku is exposed by this kind of work.

The significance of the IS milestone is ...... In the future, if someone talks about "story-centric" in the topic of TV animation, then the data put out by IS will always be so dazzling.

Mad Poihat earnestly explained to his peers the truth that "if you make a light change, harem animation can still sell so well", so the industry has taken another small step on the road of "pills".

How is it possible for an average animation company to get that kind of high-quality original? Look at the harem animation, the plot is simple and routine, the setting is brainless and logical, the production cost is relatively low, the story creation is not difficult, and the most important thing is that it can be sold to the order of nearly 40,000...... Isn't that a great choice in terms of production?

If you don't ask them to sell for 40,000 yuan, can you sell it for 8,000?

Therefore, this situation should be said to be "a small step for Mad Poihat, a big leap for the brainless animation industry".
