Last year comparison
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/survey/505/result

I'm surprised no one posted this.

here's another thing posted on another website called reddit. I''ll quote it.

"The count of the manga sales for the year 2016 just recently began ( 23th of November ). I was curious on how our hero was doing in the ranks and I was surprised to see that the One Punch Man manga series has sold over 1 million copies within 3 weeks. With this it's on #1 as the most sold manga series in Japan at the moment, which won't be for that long but hey on the positive side it has already a good start.
*1 1,128,743 One Punch Man (ワンパンマン)
*2 1,064,940 Shingeki no Kyojin (進撃の巨人)
*3 *,766,520 Haikyuu!! (ハイキュー!!)
*4 *,658,617 Yotsubato! (よつばと!)
*5 *,447,391 orange
*6 *,375,306 Kangoku Gakuen (監獄学園)
*7 *,363,317 Owari no Seraph (終わりのセラフ)
*8 *,288,908 Saint☆Onii-san (聖☆おにいさん)
*9 *,271,540 World Trigger (ワールドトリガー)
10 *,263,338 Kuroshitsuji (黒執事)
What's even more incredible is the fact that the sales generated within 3 weeks are already nearly 1/3 of the entire amount sold in 2015!
It seems like the recent release of Volume 10 and especially the anime have pushed the sales amazingly.
Thing is, the "big wave" has still not happened as the majority of people crave for more content once the anime has finished airing.
So in my book the anime is already doing great as an advertisement for the source material! Heads up for a second season due to this early but important success :)!"

very good chance for a season 2!

These polls are always flawed since popular anime will always be near the top regardless if they are good or not. Nice to see Gundam rank so highly even though shit all people have watched it.

There's a lot of popular anime that aren't near the top though... like Naruto and Sword Art Online.


Sword Art Online was last year and ranked 7th, lol.

I don't want to dwell on this too much, since I will most likely rate OPM 10/10 myself too, but this was just an epic fail, because... those "ecchi battle-tits anime" are based off Light Novels and not Manga... so yea, obviously they would not appear on the list, since the list is exclusively about Manga.

The last One Piece volume release was probably quite some time ago, and the most noticable sales happen in the first few weeks after release, that's probably why it's not on the list.

This is a list of manga sales, 3 weeks after the end of 2015 sales period. One Piece didn't release a volume during this time.

It's a pretty irrelevant list. Next week SnK will be above it.

Fate and elitists? How is that even an option.

They don't need to follow the verse itself or be hardcore fans. Fate/Zero and UBW are very popular. 2014 was the year of UBW, if you are going by most hyped series per year.

2012: Lupin III: The Woman Called Mine Fujiko or Chihayafuru
2013: Shinsekai Yori or Yamato 2199
2014: Ping Pong
2015: Death Parade / One Punch Man (oh i guess i agree with ANN this time lol)

Well, uh.. good for you?
And I'm not sure, but I think you misunderstand me.
To be clear, I only mentioned that the list seemed like something casuals would pick so I was curious, what would non-casuals pick then?
If you're neither casuals nor non-casuals or both like me, then good :D

i can't define 'casual', 'non-casual', 'elitist',... People has different taste you know.

//I have 2 friends who have the same birthday with me. Our tastes are pretty much same, but never same 100%. Ex: when we comes to debating about FMA, my thought is 'FMA2003 is the best', friend1's thought is 'Manga is the best' and friend2's thought is 'FMAB is the best'. Even when debating about a certain title, we have different thoughts. So what i should call 2 friends of mine? non-casual? casual? or elitist?

My advice for you: if you really love M-A and you watch them for the sake of your enjoyment, you shouldn't care too much about rating or ranking in websites.

This is just my understanding but I'd say you're not a casual if:
-You know to check an anime calendar every season
-You follow/watch an anime each season regularly
-You research about anime made by your favorite director/staff


yeah, those are what i usually do

I'd say you're a casual if:
-You only watch an anime because you saw a banner/ads of it somewhere


i pick many M-A because of their cover/PV/AMV/... Ex: i picked Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust because of this vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybyU0pdIu4Y

-You only watch an anime because because you heard someone talking about it


if one of my friends (or some ppl i respect) highly recommend some title and its cover/PV/AMV looks good, i'm usually gonna give it a go =]]
