Gundam rights manager Sotsu Agency announced recent earnings for the period ending in August. 12 billion 4 million Yen in sales was recorded, an 11.4% increase over the same period last year. The good numbers were largely based on the success of Gundam Seed Destiny which just wrapped it's year long run on Japanese televsion this month. The number of works the company is dealing with has also increased to 11 works in 2005 from only 10 last year. Recent sales hardships in foreign regions such as North America had slackened off. Overseas rights business sales are 141 Million Yen, roughly half of what was enjoyed 2 years ago. Sotsu plans to tackle the management of 13 works for 2006.
