I enjoyed it all, apart from the way the animation seemed to bug out a bit during the fight. Didn't mind the super crit so much, since it was kind of set up with the arrow hit earlier, and seemed like a reasonable check mate.

The first volume of the BDs is out and sold 4200 units, which is a bit below the mythical "season 2 line" of 5000. For comparison, KonoSuba v1 sold 9500 copies.

The light novels got a boost from the anime broadcast, with total series numbers over the past months being:

January:
KonoSuba - 216,248 books
Grimar - 86,614 books

February:
KonoSuba - 142,766 books
Grimgar - 53,339 books

March week 1:
KonoSuba - 51,057 books
Grimgar - 21,830 books

March week 2:
KonoSuba - 52,476 books
Grimgar - 18,905 books

March week 3:
KonoSuba - 49,524 books
Grimgar - 16,292 books

Sums up to nearly 200k light novel volumes sold for Grimgar, which doesn't seem bad. Hopefully it'll get us a second season.

Also keep in mind they're selling a bunch of music too.

...the gently caress?

Is... is it just me, or is that an astronomically low number? And that's kind of industry standard? Do they make their money almost entirely through related products and licensing, and stopped giving a poo poo for this market? How the hell is that anywhere near sustainable?

How :psyduck:

its like $200 for a single disc and its japan only sales
