Saw this, so at this point, is it actually quite possible for Nisemonogatari to beat Bakemonogatari's week 1 sales records (Which were later shattered by Madoka.)? IIRC, each volume broke sales records until volume 6 (The final one.) had like 51,000 in week 1.

Also, how is Guilty Crown Volume 2, along with Guilty Crown Volume 3 looking? I'm very interested in seeing if this will flop or not. It'll be hilarious if Volume 2 sells half of what Volume 1 sold. The reviews are all over the map on Amazon Japan. It's fun using Google translate (Even though it kinda sucks at translating coherently.) and seeing what all the otaku unhappy with the show are saying.
With the Bleach anime ending, and how the series has been having declining ratings and manga sales for years, do you have any idea how low the DVD's are now selling?
BTW, around when are you going to have another blog post at CSW on how certain shows are going to sell?
