Totoro's there as always.

next week list will be fun

Yay~


Interesting, I wonder how it sounds.

Fate/Zero, Mouretsu Pirates and PapaKiki added a bit. But at all slow week. Lets see how next would be

lol Miyazaki and his skills XD

I had to watch Totoro in my Japanese Class at the University but our teacher didn't turn on subtitles but it was still fun to watch.

Natsume still selling good is all I want.

Besides that the autumn sales are still the same. (Good) Franchise, Franchise, then a lot of crap and then the good and decent shows.

Need to check out Tamayura though.

some old school anime r still selling

Gonna be a pretty stacked week next week. Ano Natsu, High School DxD and Inu x Boku should be at the top.

Papakiki is at a little over 4000

Kimi no Yell was pretty good, YuiKaori<3, Kaori's getting the spotlight this season since she has a big role as Madoka in Rinne.

I want an anime with both Yui and Kaori with main voice roles, I might be asking for far too much though.

As for Kanna getting a lot of fanart, well Lemon made that possible because many instances are due to Lemon making her drunk.

Looking forward to next week's list.

oh damn maji koi is still selling

You took the words right out my mouth.

lol what. I don't even know how...

*3, *,854 **4,588 Mouretsu Pirates vol.1 Limited Edition

Glad Moretsu is doing not bad. :D

slow week wonder what next will be like! hopefully there are better sales!

Good to see Pirates keeping up - not the most briliant result but hopefully it will be at least stable
most certainly I'll be helping in it :D

10th place of Tamayura is still nice to see - plus that other volumes are selling quite well



nice nice
but probably when our kids will be using some future version of MAL they will be still seing Totoro on the list ;)

I wonder why this is getting a second season

Didn't expect golden time animes to sell >_>

Mirai Nikki is not doing as well as I thought it would

You have to realize that the Gundam fanbase are some of the most loyal ones around

lol I guess you didn't see all the one ratings that the so called "fanbase" gave AGE's DVDs and Blurays on Amazon Japan out of spite huh? I consider myself loyal since I never once bashed AGE for fucking retarded reasons or giving it 1 star ratings trying to make Sunrise loose money. =/ Looks like only 2,000 people are loyal fans and are not fucking morons bashing it to pieces.

The only Gundam I hate is 0079 mostly cause the story and characters bore me. The art is outdated, but that is to be expected since it is from the 70s. The other Gundam series I watched I either loved or found to be decent.

I doubt it will get anymore seasons after this one though. Which it is a shame its a very great slice of life series and I love the art. The only thing that bugs me is that the characters look cross-eyed.

Again, when it's getting so much bashed, there are even quite a bit of fans who are willing to deviate so far away from what they are used to. if you will check within the fanbase they have stayed liking the older gundams(ie seed) still today

Such as in the Newtype top 10 character poll, Kira yamato is still in the top 10 after TEN YEARS!!!!

Woohoo! I contributed to the Single CD sales of the first two.

I bet that Fate/Zero didn't cost $300. Hmp. :/

You'd be right. It cost almost $500.
