Evangelion has been surpassed;
Mamoru Hosoda and MADHOUSE’s Summer Wars film has sold 54,000 Blu-ray Discs since March 3 to top Evangelion: 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone (Evangelion Shin Gekijōban: Jo) as the #1 anime Blu-ray in first-week sales.
Evangelion: 1.11 sold 49,000 copies in its first week of sales last year. Summer Wars is now the #2 Blu-ray overall in first-week sales; Michael Jackson’s This Is It music documentary film is the only Blu-ray Disc to sell more copies than Summer Wars.
Not that suprising that Summer Wars was able to top Evangelion, Summer Wars is a great movie and can appeal to many people. Summer Wars was also won top awards at the Tokyo Anime Fair.
