Sorry I'm mistaken it is very popular then.
As I said I think it is not something high ratio of anime fans like but it has own big fanbase.

What I see is basically popularity among general anime fans and most of them love live seems not that popular(above average of course but not as domminant popular as K-ON or Madoka or Haruhi)


I knew sukufes have 3M download but I don't find it that impressive, many of Social game are free and many of them just count DL not number of users,famous social game in Japan have well above 10 million DL. For example puzzle and dragons has 30M DL


And if you think Oricon chart means anything in todays Japanese society it is very misunderstanding. Oricon chart have little to no presence among average people nowadays because cds from fan culture(idol ota or ani-ota) selling well and well-known artist has little presence.




I forget to mention Muse was the 14th best selling music act in all of Japan for the first half of 2014. I don't know what else I can say to convince you that the brand is popular otherwise. AlsoK-On is literally done and probably Haruhi too at this rate. Madoka perhaps not though.




I would say it is popular among love live fans but not many people know muse.


I can name more than 100 japanese songs that have 3million view on youtube do muse have any?

Look I'm just giving examples. Fine if its so important its not popular then. Didn't realize people were going to fight me this hard on it but hey MAL right.

Well, it is the most sold title BD/DVD right now and it is totally Otaku Oriented! So I would say yes.

How does it being the 3rd best selling anime of all time justify bashing at every opportunity in the sales threads?


Okay everyone should stop being mean to Monogatari guys jeez

Is there any reason Akame ga Kill still hasn't been solicited? Are they just not expecting any sales so they aren't bothering?

Didn't realise that doing a comparison with just the most popular anime series or anison (or something stupid as doing an apples with oranges comparison... aka comparing mainstream songs with anison), was a valid way of determining if Love Live! was popular or not.

Maybe if you did a comparison with a larger sample size, you'd find that Love Live! is incredibly popular. So, I would have to agree with what Kaioshin_Sama said there before, about people being in denial. All the evidence that points to Love Live! being popular is available in plain sight.

I guess this is the same MAL, that thinks any anime that didn't sell over 10k discs or near SAO or Madoka or Bakemonogatari sales, is automatically a failure or not even popular.

Karaoke anime(game or tokusatsu) song ranking top100 of 2014(~2) 2013 2012 didnt have love live song.



And May I repeat myself? As I said I was wrong Love Live is very popular but I think it has different kind of popularity than Haruhi or K-on or Madoka from real lilfe experience.Not many typical anime fan friends of mine follow it

You asked being brought up! If is to talk bad or good, it doesn't matter. Is the same for One Piece when talking about manga.
They are series with great popularity and with great impact, so people will always bring them up.

I'm not particularly knowledgeable about people bashing monogatari, but if that is the case I would guess is because of the genres that it encompasses and the out of norm presentation.

I'm talking about people bringing it up when its not even bloody relevant to the thread, this week we did not even get a monogatari release.

Look, I know people love to be dicks about series they do not watch, but thats not an excuse to bash it at every opportunity you get.



Kaioshin_Sama said:

If you want to bash monogatari thats fine. But could you do it somewhere its relevant? I know you love to bash series you haven't watched, but you can atleast understand why people would dislike you for it. Because you don't seem to be that friendly to those who bash love live either.

I have forgotten explaining why sales of CDs/artists has little correlation with popularity or recognition in Japan nowadays. CDs of Idols mostly come with some sort of goods/tickets that promote fans to buy (idol fans who buy several CDs per person is not rare too) and not many ordinary people(non idol fans) buy CDs frequently.


Rental CD ranking
DL ranking
Popularity poll
The number of youtube view
Karaoke ranking



Thus these are much much better indicator of actual popularity of song or singers/bands in Japan.

What, so having sex stops you enjoying a good story or good music? First I've heard of that.
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

I feel get bored after some time just be Silent reader

I know why why n why These type users like this always compares/complaint anything about LL
in the same thread on different dates every week there is always a "butthurts"
My assumption believe it or not lately come from crazy fans of other anime like k*N & I*as
because they hate if LL takes over everything

"you're like a child who cries like a baby if
the toy you requested does not exist"

if that's the case it'd be pretty silly since again K-On is literally done, like the manga has ended, theaanime is long done with and its just...done. As for IMAS its owned by the same people anyway so your more likely to see a crossover at some point than one to overtake the other.

@rederoin: I swear to god there must be some unspoken rule that the most popular and generally jizzed about series must have the most defensive and protective fans. I could bring up any other non-hype show and nobody would care but bring up a Monogatari and Madoka and people will come out of the woodwork to and get all offended up

I'm not sure what you want to say.
You don't believe CD Sales have little correlation with Popularity or how-well -known in modern Japanese music market?
Do you want all of these data?

Popularity poll,Karaoke ranking,Itunes ranking,Rental cd ranking all show strong correlation eachother but CD Sales ranking is literally dominated by famous or non-famous male/female Idols you know?

Because they know the shows are sh!tty (Aldnoah and Mushishi to mention a few) and don't bother defending it strongly, unlike really quality shows like Bleach and HxH ;)

From this pool, Free! took first place, and scored that top spot with 90% of its votes coming from women. Sword Art Online II took second place with 77% coming from men. At third, Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun was even more lop-sided with 94% of its votes coming from women.


Seems to be confirmation of what I am saying, that Nozaki can be considered a female-targeted series.

I prefer to wait untill I know big that sample size is or until v2 of the BD/DVD comes out.
