Jesus you can just tell how much power SAO has when one of its spinoffs manages to take first. That and I guess Sigsawa having notoriety from writing Kino's Journey too. Hope to see an anime soon.

Yep that's pretty much a given at this point if we look at the overall response in Japan

Still nice to see that the arc 3 volumes now get their boost as well!


I'm surprised by the rather low sales for KonoSuba after its second week. Hm even then the second season should bring a good boost to that anyway.

Oh hey the juicy 150k on Overlord, nice!

ReZero and Overlord both more than 100k. That's nice.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

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.

@Yohimo_asakura @Houreki The main reason Re:Zero's sales are back on the rankings is because the threshold is so much lower this week (3800 as opposed to 5210). Re:Zero sales are up on last week but only by about 200 in total across all volumes.

I'm not sure it's possible to say as:
- They often have multiple versions/different formats released and on different dates.
- They can have extremely strong long tails, which means either that we see them on the rankings for ages and thus they get higher than most other comparable series, or that we miss out on the vast majority of their sales as they hover a bit below the rankings.
- The known sales for such releases vary from "never ranked" (various) to "over half a million sales accrued gradually over several years" (Summer Wars).

The last equivalent format Shinkai novel release (the one for Kotonoha no Niwa) got 6895 sales on the first week and then never ranked again.

They do (nothing has changed in this regard), but they're technically a slightly different ranking (which sometimes has things in a different order, or occasionally not present at all), is only a top 10, and the rankings aren't publicly visible so I can't post them unless someone with a youtaiju account posts them.

Here's the week covered in this thread:
*1位 30,744部 Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu
*2位 27,079部 Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!
*3位 18,162部 Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online
