How do these sales affect Bones exactly? How much do they get from this compared to DVD and BD sales?

They're mostly beneficial to the label publishing the music than the animation studio and studios usually don't get anything from anime sales unless they're at the top of the committee list or distribute the title through their own label (Toei and Sunrise).

Sony music is lower than Bones so their investment is probably less than Bones but these increases in CD Sales have to be a plus for the total revenue made this season. Both artists for this first cour have had their career highest first week sales and they continue to sell. I fully expect Peace Sign to be on the Top Singles of 2017 seeing as of today its passed 60k and will probably sell at least 5k this week.

Merchandise sales, specifically the Ichiban Kuji draws have been doing really well. A lot of people on twitter are posting their various draws and many places are sold out, though the actual number of places doing the draws is probably low. A lot of the other merchandise is also selling decently well. You see people buying the T-shirts and the badges and the like.

The spoiler provider doesn't read/like it so he doesn't care about spoilers for it. But there is a woman who posts multiple pages of every chapter on weibo every thursday morning.
I'd say these pages are better than just the text.

Rather late in posting this but the Heroaca Escape Game: "Heroes Dead-end Program" 's tokyo round was held this past weekend and both the afternoon and evening rounds for both days were sold out.

Of the total of 319 teams that took part in this game, 137 teams cleared the game. Many people on twitter who went to the game said that it was very thoughtfully designed. They felt that the designers really put many details into the game and that they could feel the love for the manga. You basically couldn't solve the puzzle unless you knew the actual manga plot details.

Recently Heroaca seems to be following Yuri on Ice everywhere in collaborations. Its going to Ooedo onsen monogatari next month after Yuri on Ice which is currently there and now its also going to the Tokyu hands department store chain for next month after Yuri on Ice, which is currently there.

As I'm sure some of you may have saw, this week's TOC is the first in which MHA hasn't ranked in the top 5. The chapter ranked was the beginning of the Kirishima flashback btw. It hurts, as I'm a huge fan of the series, but even I have to admit the quality of the series hasn't been up to standards lately. Granted, this may only be a one time or temporary thing, but I can only hope Hori gets back in the groove producing chapters all, or at least, most of us can enjoy.

You only admit now when this arc has been going for months on end including an unfinished chapter that still ranked in the top 5 and now since your opinion has been vindicated through the TOC do you agree that the quality hasn't been up to snuff ?

Calbalacrab · Aug 30, 2017

I talk for myself but honestly, what's wrong with this arc is Mirio and the big three in general. I don't like em, and the supporting character like Fatgum and Kirishima failed to shine if compared to Bakugou or Todoroki.

xAsum0x · Aug 30, 2017

This is honestly one of my favorites arcs, and no I'm not a apologist. Its just that everything I've wanted out of the series (main characters taking a back seat for side character shine, slowed down pacing, more powerful interesting villians outside of AFO that wont get taken down during the arc, great fights lasting more than 1 chapter, etc.) is all happening. Its clearly obvious that not everyone feels that way though. However I do feel that Horikoshi could do alot more, for instance with the females and the other members of the Eight Precepts being fodder outside of Rappa, however im quite pleased with what we've gotten.

Doughboy · Aug 31, 2017

There's some hypocrisy with the outcry now, the shitstorm in the wsj thread earlier was way out of pocket, but I understand their side. I agree with Calabracrab on Mirio, just being honest dude is a classic example of his powers being entirely more interesting than his total character. Suneater I'm a fan of but Neijre and the girls haven't even been shown since they split up. I'm not really a reactionary person so I'll wait till the end of the arc. But I'm enjoying it for what's it worth. Battles need to be better, expendables really have been fodder mostly but won't discount the good fights either.

Demonspeed · Aug 31, 2017

It's just one chapter ranking outside of the top 5. While I liked the chapter I thought the pacing was bad. But the possibility that he paced it like that because he was busy for the color page exists. I don't like the pacing for this arc in general.

iceemperor · Aug 31, 2017

The chapter's content pleasantly surprised me due to the pacing as I thought Horikoshi put in either a short chapter or broke the flow of the events again like with the Red Riot chapters. In actuality, its a chapter filled with raw emotion and blood pumping action and is even a full 19 pages to boot. This is the kind of chapter that is placed in the top 3. I honestly think this is a wake up call to Horikoshi and his editor Monji to kick things into high gear and better structure the plot. They might have gotten some leeway recently and because of that, Horikoshi might have realized he can take a more slower pace or its possible he wanted to round out a volume at certain events and so lengthened out the arc.
