As always...

But as always, look at the points, not just the momentary ranking. Free is still way below Neko Shiro in points.

If we're going to try to disqualify Love Live as an original anime we might as well do the same to Free! since it's based off of a light novel treatment submitted to the Kyoani awards. I have a better idea, lets just check our inner fanboy for a moment and not do any of this.

But entire plot changed from primary schoolers to high schoolers.

It's more like 'spin off' of original light novel.

Free! sales might(?) or will go above chuu2koi levels. Stalker is underestimating for sure.

Hey guys, like how his "40k! Crushing Monogatari!" has suddenly become "Maybe it'll beat a 15k show"? In the span of, like, a week, when it's been roughly steady rankings the whole time? There cannot possibly be anyone left in this thread that takes him seriously, please tell me there isn't.

The worst part of this bullshit is that by outrageously exaggerating Free!'s ranking so far, a serious disservice is being done to the success it actually has/is going to achieve by making it look like anything less than "historic" is a disappointment. Shingeki had the same nonsense happen to it.

I wish I could just ignore the blinding stupidity but I hate the thought of sales newbies coming in and thinking this crap is actually a legitimate analysis. There's too much misinformation on sales as it is.

Yeah. Stupidity and immaturity of bippo's post is almost too much.

Free! climbing up over monogatari on amazon with ease again after THAT episode.

Where were you when Monogatari climbed up above Free with ease last week? You said Monogatari would fall like cold stone as it showed only recap, no?

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.

Ugh another TWO monogatari volumes appearing last night. Kabukimonogatari. Crap.

Free! buyers have to do double purchases this time to beat the average. Kyoani needs to give more extras to the discs!

Same with SnK producers and buyers!!

Bad, bad day today.

Hope kabuki doesn't reach #1 on amazon.

Thank god for kpop and johnnies blocking its path!! hahaha!

Bad times ahead.

Lol. Hey, bippo. What are your predictions for kabuki?? From the spoilers I've read, looks like there will be a lot of shinobu and mayoi. You think there will be a spark happening? Any chance for Attack on Titan be a topseller this year?

Too early to tell who will be the topseller. SnK volume 2 is doing good as of late. Monogatari is looking quite weak. We still got autumn and utapri last volume boost.

And no, there will be no spark coming just because the lolis are the MCs this time.

Cute half-naked muscular guys, guy-to-guy CPR is a much better choice than lolis. /free bias

Hmmmm for averages, so far....

SnK 55k (volumes 2 & 3 strong, volume 1 strong tail)
Free 40k (volume 1,2 3 strong on ALL online stores, especially HMV, animate 4,5,6 volumes doesn't matter as long as 1,2,3 does great)
Utapri 35k (might go up depending on last volume)
LoveLive 25k (It WILL go up due to volume 7)
Monogatari 20k (box purchases not on sale until next year, waning population and interest)

Then we have the autumn shows...

IS
kurobas

My pick for dark horses....
Kill la kill
Kyoukai no kanata

The point is all volumes of SnK must be solid and has long staying power in order to achieve the top. Right now, they're laughing at everyone at the bottom.

BTW, I'm picking Sakura Trick to be the winter topseller next year.

Well, there have been talks about it on the net. At comiket too, which is surprising.

Don't expect much into it.

Tamako market and kyoani was the hype last winter and LoveLive fans are somewhat quiet and skeptical about sunrise producing it.

Look at what happened haha. This is for japan btw. Not international reactions.

The only way I can see Sakura Trick honestly being a top-seller (ignoring bippo's trolling) is with a really weak season... and even then Gin no Saji S2 will probably be at the top from what's currently scheduled for the Winter...(Other Yutaka Yamamoto's godsend savior anime). But if they actually pull off good animation (or tons of fanservice) it could actually sell well as the Winter (or whatever season) Yuri Anime. (Yuyushiki for Spring and Kinmoza for Summer.)

And Nisekoi??

How can you be so sure that sakura trick will do outsell it??

WuG is being trolled to death by Yamakan antis currently. While I'm a big Yamakan fan, it will probably do well but not to 20k+ levels of sales.

Unless he seriously saves anime next year *winks*

Nisekoi is airing in winter? Source?

All this sakura trick is just speculation. Even I'm not so sure. It is just a wild guess considering the current circumstances.

Nisekoi can easily sell well with the popularity of the manga, that is if Shaft does a good job with it which I hope they will, and not kill it by using a strange art style or too much original anime content...Even then Sakura Trick and Nisekoi haven't even been scheduled for any season yet.

He'll save anime, he's got it in the bag now that he has something that will actually sell.

Seriously, _aaa, assuming you're not just a bippo sockpuppet, you need to start seeking out less delusional sources of information.

Really, as this point I think i'll just go with that _aaa is Bippo's sockpuppet account.

It seems I'm not the only who thought of that possibility.

But really. Claiming Sakura Trick, no matter how much I want it to be, to be the top seller is getting a bit too ridiculous.
You know, unless we get a really weak season. And its way to early to know that. Less than 1/4th of the anime for winter have been announced.

They made denpa onna average looking. I'm expecting nisekoi to be like that as well. But the current direction of the manga is getting horrible.

"Shockingly", they only participate in this thread when he does, and only to set him up with questions he wants to give answers to, and are the only people who take him seriously, and never address any of the posts made to them from other people.

These threads have always had issues (glorious MAL community and all) but bippo is trying his hardest to completely run them into the ground and destroy any worth they had left.

Seriously. It's almost non-sense how current _liliput + bippo conversation almost looks like they are talking to themselves. Even if it is all guess work, this is just lol worthy how their posting is just a few minute or second apart even though it is different account. It would be more non-sense if _liliput and bippo is just refreshing this thread infinite times because they are some kind of gay lover and want to just talk more fake infos each other.

Being an explicit yuri, I think Sakura Trick will be a success if it even reaches KinMosa's line. As much as a firm yuri fan, I do not think it will ever reach top tier of sales, much less top of the season lol.

You know who Yamakan reminds me of, Kenichirou Takaki, creator of Senran Kagura. Only exception is his trolls ended up also being quite serious at the end.
