I thought the Haruhi film was gonna be a bit higher ranked that 7th, and its nice to see One Piece is first by quite a bit too.

Also, why the hell did Trigun only get 23 screenings? ;_ ;

The top 2 are great!! One Piece and Detective Conan FTW :D

Wished that Benizakura-hen was higher though ~.~

Yay Gintama.

Happy for Nanoha movie~

Nothing less expected from Strong World but, really? Detective Conan? I'm surprised~

Haruhii :D the HSNS movie should be ranked higher than that.

Wth? Conan, doraemon, crayon shin-chan? You gotta be kiddin' me.

No surprises here, even when I haven't seen any of them and don't plan to.
First I thought the Pokemon film was missing, but it premiered on 10th July so it's just between those lists ;)

What that popular mainstream anime the appeals to a large audiences are at the top?


GINTAMA! GINTAMA!

Wow, I would never have expected the Gintama movie to top the Haruhi movie, I have to see it even more now. It's disappointing to see the Trigun movie so low (and in so few theaters!), even beneath the Eden of the East movies.

So pround for Strong World!
And not as many screens as other titles.

One Piece is sure popular in JP. Or rather to say, shounen is sure popular in JP. Well, no wonder. After all shounen is for kids.

Either way, I'm happy for Disappearance and Gintama.

Man, these people sure love their One Piece.

Just like I thought, One Piece Strong World film is number 1. XD

ehh.. no one support Fate/Stay Night other than me? thats a surprise..

Pokemon (one week) 632,420,000 yen 369scr

But look at what's ahead of it. You have to take into account the difference between "mainstream" and "all the rest of anime". Haruhi's figures are pretty damn good there.

Detective conan FTW!!
