Goddammit! I watched 2 eps of that shit and I was about to throw up.. It's like if they were trying to make the most generic annoying abusive tsundere loli heroine possible which will obviously win at the end (what.. did you expect the other 10 better girls to even have a chance? lol), and I'm baffled there are people who bought 29 vols of this crap, unless the story gets insanely better latter on, maybe.


*5. *6,849 *38,801 Date A Live Vol.19

Speaking of wich, is S3 still coming after the studio's bankruptcy or what?

They're making the anime as shitty as possible so every one would pick up the novels after hearing it's better.. and it's working apparently..

What happened with Aria to be so high?
Last time I heard about it was because some spin off aired, but that was years ago
How it's first?, i didn' t knew it was so popular.

Well Hidan no Aria as a series is alright. It's just at most rather stupid to be fairly honest xD

I don't mind the sales for this one of course.

Now, I'm not sure to pick up it...

*2. *8,553 **8,553 Seirei Gensouki Vol.11

Need to (start) read it asap.

Series rankings from Oricon website:
*1. Overlord

They really ruined Ep9 of S3... So yeah people, go read the LN.

I think the reasons people claim for the anime "ruining" the content of the Overlord LN are quite ridiculous. As someone who really enjoyed the LN, it feels like people complain about not so important trivialities.

Still it's funny how people seem to balance all the Overlord LN purchases to such an extent that Overlord gets #1 in overall rankings, and yet is not even ranked in individual volume sales...

They've both dropped out a few times. Overlord is the only one which has so far been on the series ranking every week this year.

When I saw it at the top of the series rankings I was wondering if it would be on there (it has the lower threshold as well, which helps it). It's only 17498 sales between 13 volumes, though, which gives an average of less than half the requirement.

Re:Zero has done really well even without anime. i hope it gets some kind of boost when the OVA gets released so we can see how much each volume has sold.
