So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

SnK v1 sold in first week
37339 BD + 19454 DVD = 56793

This is a distance from the 60k mark many speculate it can reach in the 1st week and far below the Stalker prediction of 54.3k + 23.0k = 76.3k sales (-25% or one quarter less)

It is also far from the first week sales of Madoka v1 52944 BD + 9097 DVD = 62041

And Shingeki no Kyojin is #1. Not surprising in the slightest. Great to see the soundtrack doing well, too. Hiroyuki Sawano is quickly becoming one of my favourite musicians for anime.

Happy about these music sales!
Symphogear is definitely a case of sequel doing better. This 1st character song CD sold more than the 1st CD of season 1 (16k vs 13k) and on its trend its BD+DVD sales is likely to beat season 1's numbers too.

The music CDs definitely have an important place for Symphogear. From the past week, there will be a character song single EVERY WEEK until October, and the total number of singles will come to TEN when it is done.

Wow, that's great to hear. I really love the music in Symphogear. It was the CDs that I looked forward to when the first season was airing.

With the second season much better in most aspects than the first season in my opinion, 10 CD singles would definitely make the second season even more enjoyable, as I have more to look forward to, haha.

Errr.. How recent do you have in mind? It is not as if it was released only 1 or 2 days before the cut-off date for Oricon and so has this not too exciting sales number... It was released just like other singles like the Free OP or Symphogear char song, which is July 17th.

^Really? In that case I assume it will rank again next week. Barely selling 2,000 units seems weird given that the song itself is actually good (listening to the full thing right now).

I am surprised to see not one but two people so allergic to mentions of Madoka. Just in case you really failed to undestand, Madoka is mentioned here NOT because whether people find the series interesting or not, but because of the history it made by being the series that sold record number of BD+DVDs in its first week of sales. What does it have to do with obsession?? Its record demands people to pay attention when another enormously selling series comes into the picture. Simple as that.

...

Also happy about those music sales!

Is Cutie Panther actually coming out? Or did I just pre-order too late? Amazon says they need more time on my order... hmm, perhaps I should have used CDJapan or HMV for that one...

From last week:
31, 2,331 *2,331 Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. Character Song Album "Yahari kono CharaSon wa Machigatteiru"

This week:
26, 4,074 *4,074 Yuyushiki Character Songs Album "Ichigenme!"
54, 1,602 *1,602 Yuyushiki Original Soundtrack "Feeling good (nice) wind"

Interesting that Yuyushiki Charactre Songs beat OreGairu. The power of Exit Tunes again, not huge but some CD brand awareness must help I think.

----=

For the record, I LOVE Madoka... and think its sales are well deserved.

While I am on record saying I do not understand the hype for SnK. Good, yes, great? Not in my opinion. Still haven't bothered to watch the most recent episode while I have watched C3, Watamote, RailgunS, HS DxD New...

Which BTW I seem to be in the minority in seeing HS DxD New as not as good as season 1. And I am not AT ALL surprised that the music sales are lower, the OP and ED of season one were super awesome while season 2 for me they are just meh.

hp, while I agree on DxD NEW's ED being atrociously bad, I can't say the same about the OP and, more importantly, the series itself. If you enjoyed the first season as much as you say you did, then I suggest you stay patient and wait for the sequel to end before making such a finite assessment.
That is, if you haven't read the novels. If by chance you did then you should know what you're in for anyway.

No, I am not reading the HS DxD novels. I have spoiled myself on some summaries and later developments made me pass on it. That and I am reading way, way, waaaay too many series already and do not have enough hours in a month to keep up as it is. The unread books on my shelf make me sad as it is...

So I am just watching this one as an anime viewer only and so far it is not as compelling and Funimation having the censored version even in Elite is killing much of the fun for me. Perhaps I should be evil and find some AT-X downloads... Which I hate doing, sigh...

But I will listen to the OP New again...

Well, I always get to see SnK first, but not because my desire to watch SnK is stronger but because in SnK I usually just need to let the episode run on its own and watch once. In the case of C3, HDxD, Symphogear or Free I find myself keep going back to certain scenes because I find them enjoyable for repeat watch LOL

I guess most people would definitely say the OP/ED, be it the music or the animation, is weaker in season 2. As for the anime itself, it varies from person to person. For me, while I enjoyed season 1 a great deal I also like to see how main characters get further development or have their back stories explored in the new season, and the new characters are appealing so far too. So to me I'd say with the exception of the OP/ED, season 2 is just as good.

I wonder how much it could hold after this since there are much more competition next week (Railgun S, Madoka movies, Love Life, Ore Imo)

Madoka movie for next week will be a killer. Can't wait to see the movie.

Speaking of next week, I looking forward to Railgun S sales since this season more focus on Misaka & less spotlight with other girls which push the first season success.
I don't think it will affect much the sales & it even has great boost in animation but still curious nonetheless.

Look at these hipsters.

SNK sold a ludicrously large amount of copies.

Just because it didn't sell the most copies of any series in Japanese history, the same exact hipsters are saying the same exact shit about SnK.

Go home kids, nobody cares that you are too cool to watch popular cartoons.
Fan of more popular series = hipster.
Flawless logic.


I like Madoka. Gave it a 10.

But only a fucking idiot would bash SnK for having ONLY 56 thousand first week sales.

Sometimes this board is a fucking joke.

One thing to note, ONE DAY BEFORE THE RELEASE DATE, it is announced today that the BD/DVD release of Aku no Hana is indefinitely postponed. It only gave some vague reason about "flaws in part of the stock".
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

So? That doesn't change the fact that calling Madoka/Bake fans 'hipsters' makes little sense.
Also, you shouldn't be so mad. It's unhealthy.

Hopefully they finally noticed how bad it is and decided it would be too embarrassing to release something like that.

^it's talking about "flaws in part of the stock". So I'd say the five BD boxes that had been prepared for the five fans pre-ordering it, weren't enough since a sixth customer made a last-minute order. :/

You know, it is not even a BD Box, it is just volume 1 and there are volume 2, 3, 4.. At the moment, volume 2 still sticks to its scheduled release date Aug 21st....

Not gunna lie, was expecting a larger number, but this is still really great!

It already does:

If you talk about just BD, then I doubt it.

Never understood why people are so obsessed with Madoka I found it boring as hell.
Yeah, me too. Don't know why they like it.
I am surprised to see not one but two people so allergic to mentions of Madoka. Just in case you really failed to undestand, Madoka is mentioned here NOT because whether people find the series interesting or not, but because of the history it made by being the series that sold record number of BD+DVDs in its first week of sales. What does it have to do with obsession?? Its record demands people to pay attention when another enormously selling series comes into the picture. Simple as that.
LOL, I gave Madoka a 10. Just going along with the hipster you know... Sorry if my sarcasm offended anyone.

While I am on record saying I do not understand the hype for SnK. Good, yes, great? Not in my opinion. Still haven't bothered to watch the most recent episode while I have watched C3, Watamote, RailgunS, HS DxD New...
I suggest you wait until the series ends then watch it in one go :)

I don't care if SnK breaks any records or not as long as its sales proves to be good to ensure later seasons. I have to say it is the best manga adaptation that I've seen so far.

Then why did you care to reply to a post about Madoka being boring which has absolutely nothing to do with SnK's sales?

Ok, I'm sorry. It was my fault for getting involved with MAL forums. I won't bother to explain since most people only hear what they want to hear. Chill and goodbye lol.

i know you are being sarcastic but following that logic the only series that will ever get a sequel (which already did actually) is bake (and madoka? probably)

Or people assume others already know what they are saying and so did not say it. This is the problem with your "sarcasm". How on earth can people tell you are a Madoka fan unless they know you and already read your profile?

More like it was your fault for being ill-prepared with what you want to say before you got involved.



On topic, I hope to see those Chihayafuru season 1 BDs in the full weekly list. Wonder how many they sold to be able to push Tamako off the top 20 daily list on its release date..

Basically Shaft and Sunrise, I guess. Probably a hint of KyoAni, too.
