Suddenly Zelda on the list? What is this? Lol. I liked the game though, so the manga might also be good?

Good to see JoJo and Noragami. Hoping for them to stay constant.

One of the rare times that Aot vol 2 is on the list. And AoT vol 1 is just... welp, I think that volume might have sold 100k (I think vol 1 sold 28K in 2013 nd 57k in 2014 iirc) by now which is a lot considering that the manga industry isn't that popular in the US. Well, I guess SNK is singlehandedly making it more popular.

Jojo got licensed and will be dubbed soon so I guess it's sales will rise even more. And lol@ Agk, it sure is popular in the states, the japanese don't like nearly as much.

I'm happy for Big Hero 6 even though I've not yet completely read the volume but at the same time I feel like the movie wsn't really that good, they just tried to capitalize on Frozen's success and did something similar. Not that Frozen was that good to begin with.

Those JoJo hardcovers are so gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood

The coloring is kinda bullshit though, only the first couple of pages are full color. Then a few select chapters are given this weird orange color, making it look like cheetos got splattered all over it. Didn't get volume 2 yet, but I'm assuming it will stay in that format.

Yeah, they still have the cheetos coloring in volume 2 (although I don't think it's as much as they used in volume 1, not sure).

It has a pretty repetitive plot. But you've to read it yourself to know the answer to your questions.

Not really. Naruto had a much bigger boost after the anime, and in 2008, where it's highest selling volume in both is 100k+. I think Death note also had 100k+ volume.

The thing is, SnK best sales are in the first volume and maybe the second one, the others sell in the 20k range.

YES! Akame is there.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.
