Fun With Numbers: January 2015 Amazon Data (Initial Numbers)
First-look US Amazon anime release data for the upcoming month of January 2015. Nothing interesting in the high-ranking titles right now, but for the first time in a while there’s a release (the A-Channel BD) that’s starting out at 66% off. All initial rank data was taken on December 29th, 2014.
Also, a rarity, I had no releases to track for the final Tuesday in December, so that rank data is done and available here. Cowboy Bebop spent a long time in double digits, and would have a good chance of charting against normal 10k-ish thresholds. It’s up against 40k-80k thresholds, so we’ll see how it does.
