Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete makes an impact with sales of its Blu-ray/DVD volume 2
It is reported that the Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete Blu-ray/DVD volume 2 managed to sell 9,181 copies in its first week, which caused a great stir in the anime community, as usual with this franchise, as they are constantly generating discussion on the internet for various reasons, but as we have seen in recent months, these large-scale conversations have brought quite positive things to Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete that is becoming more and more known to otaku.
Reddit was one of the platforms on the internet where there was a big talk about this big event of Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete. The user CuriousWanderer567 was the one who started this discussion by reporting the amount of copies that this anime had sold in its release week. In order to get a better idea of what this figure represented in the industry, he also shared the sales of other popular anime of the moment such as Dungeon Meshi vol. 1 (2,766 copies), 16 bit Sensation: ANOTHER LAYER vol. 5 (684 copies) and Blue Exorcist season 3 vol. 1 (165 copies).
On the other hand, he also added that Gushing over Magical Girls Blu-ray/DVD volume 1 got 8,114 in its first week, so the figure it reached with its second volume had been impressive, considering that the first edition contained a Magia Baiser figure, but that he also found it logical, since this new volume was cheaper, so that could be one of the reasons for its success. From this, several users shared their opinion on this development, as well as some other data that would help to better understand the picture.
One person commented that volume 2 of Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete had sold many more copies than the 8,114 previously reported, only that it had been divided in 2 because the first special edition had sold out, later they released a second edition with more units (which also sold out later), so the real amount of sales of volume 1 will be known until the end of May, until then the numbers will be revealed when the lot is released, even if 95% of the sales are pre-sales.
In response to this news, fans of Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete expressed their excitement through comments such as, “Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete” continues to be successful with these sales. Imagine if this success marks the beginning of a trend for taste in the Isekai” “I need more of those magical girls in my life!!!”. “Gushing is the funniest ecchi I’ve seen for some time.” And since it is already known that the sales of a Blu-ray/DVD are considered as part of the success of an anime, thus examining whether to renew it or not, someone was asking about when we would get the second season of this story.
Lastly, someone else was asking if the Blu-ray changed in any way, as they knew that sometimes they fix certain things or remove a bit of censorship. Things like that, and another user answered saying that there was better quality and that regarding the censorship, they would add uncensored audio in some parts, so far there is no knowledge that additional scenes would be added as it usually happens in some Blu-rays.
