Think that's the biggest difference between a book like HP and a visual manga like CSM. You can like the visual appeal of something without reading it.

If the Japanese can create merchandise with their logo, this shouldn't have been a huge factor especially since majority of the merchandising would be just variations of the actual Japanese merchandises.
you now remember
There's a video of the top 61 selling WSJ's anime from 2017, doesn't include KnY obviously. KnB is the highest seller.
There's always a downward sales trend for subsequent seasons of anime, not even Kimetsu's immense popularity can change that. The movie should sell a lot more though due to how different the distribution will end up (not a perfect example, but look at how the two recent Haikyu!! OVAs sold double the amount of copies compared to Season 3 and 4).
Yeah I know it's usually the case that it's a downward trend. A better example would be JJBA, with how more massively popular part 3 (& part 5 arguably) compared to the rest of the parts but it didn't stop the decline. I'm still inclined to wait and see, even if I think it won't do much and the sales will probably decline. I swear there's examples of series that had a growth in BD's in later seasons but I could be wrong.
That's like US$ 60? Then the movie bd should cost around the same prize as HF's BDs, $80~ which is 8,000 yen~Kimetsu BD Vol. 9 (2 episodes) - 6,500 yen
Kimetsu Manga Vol. 19 - 484 yen
Movie BD vol will probably have higher sales than the TV anime volumes though.
Yeah at the end of the day, a large part of the audience of WSJ (12-18 year old boys) can't shell out 3000+ yen for dvds or ask their parents to do so but slap Tanjiro, Luffy, Midoryia etc on a shirt, cup, poster, stickers and the like and you are golden.
I can't imagine they'd advertise the ending of a series with a smiley face if they were cancelling it.
Awww, I liked that one. :c
It is possible to see hows Black Clover doing?Video Research has added new data to their weekly ratings chart. Now, they publish the nationwide average number of people who (yellow column) and the number of people who tuned in for at least one minute (middle column), with the last column showing the number of regions that were analyzed (maximum of 32). MHA 88 had an average viewership of 3,505,000 people, with a total viewership of 9,547,000 people in 28 regions. Since this data is new, there's nothing else to compare to yet, however, the most curious part of this is that OP is not on the list (the ratings point chart we've been getting only accounts for the Kantou Region.)
Nope, BC's ratings have never been high enough for it to show in the charts since they only publish the top 10.
What do you expect? 4 episodes of the anime in BD form cost more than the entirety of the series in manga form. Of course it can't sell as much.
