| Why is Mouretsu Pirates kicking so much ass? is it that good? |

Parkur said: Why is Mouretsu Pirates kicking so much ass? is it that good? its dialogue heavy from the reviews and comments i read, it has less action too and no ecchi so must be a new formula for it to get so much sales, im curious too but still i wont watch it |

Much of the appeal comes from how detailed and technical the show is about space-travel while still managing to appeal to a wide/not-scientifically-literate audience. Secondly, the show prioritizes setting, characters, and plot (in that order, I think) over constant action/lasers/explosions and the like. Essentially I would go as far as to say it's one of the more intelligent shows currently airing. It's hard to call any show that mentions "Lagrange Points" in the correct context as unintelligent. Of course, such technical background is not needed to understand and enjoy the show; it's just that these little details can really please the viewer that catches on to them. |

phoenixalia said: Is Moretsu sci fi and mecha? Cuz I can never get into those two genres no matter how good the anime is. It's not mecha, it's not that heavily scifi, but being set in space there are obviously scifi elements in there. |
 |
| Good to see Gintama. It's too awesome to not be on the list. |
| I find it sad that Choucho does worse than May'n with those singles, Hyouka's OP is obviously superior even if against May'n. Awesome to see Pirates kicking ass, i hope for next season. Also Wait for it. |

King_Zero said: Is Horizon that good to get 20k sales? o_O It has good action, complicated plot and setting and awesome characters but a lot of people dropped it because of one of reasons: 1) To complicated seting. Most of people just get WTF effect first couple of episodes and didn't get it 2) A lot of girls with big boobs on the poster. Some people just think that the show is another ecchi harem |
 |
| Mouretsu Pirates number 1, something is fishy: p I dropped it around the seventh episode. Bored me to hell, well guess there's still a market for that kind of anime. |
| Studio Ghibli dominates this list. I have never watched a single movie though... |

It's not ecchi at all except for one shocking moment in the later episodes. Despite it's silliness, the story does have a strong base. It actually takes time to lay out the story and actions in a detailed manner. However, it does tend to be slow moving. If the dialogue and interaction between characters doesn't enthrall you, you'll get bored very quickly. The animation and music are also strong points. I love the BGM with the celtic style rhythm. |
| great for Mouretsu Pirates.... |
Sir_Lexa said: King_Zero said: Is Horizon that good to get 20k sales? o_O Well I haven't seen it but the MC girl has humongous boobs. Its confusing as hell, but it has very nice art though. The reason it sold so much is because of the loyal fanbase from the novels are following it. They even commented that they were surprised at MAL's low scores on one of the Japanese boards (it was at 6.??/10 at the time). |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Moretsu Pirates was pretty meh the first 13 episdoes or so. Once it actually started to live up to its American name, "Bodacious Space Pirates", it got better. I went into it looking for a pirate crew of cute girls. |

| I want to slap all 6000 people who bought Mouretsu Pirates because that show is sickeningly bad. Especially since it has immoral lesbians in it now. They're not pirates, they're not bodacious, and they're only in space occasionally. False advertisement at its finest. |
| Ok™ |
| Moralfag detected. Kill him with fire >:-) |

McRib said: they're not bodacious You do realise only the English name has bodacious in it, right? |

mitch3315 said: You do realise only the English name has bodacious in it, right? Yes, the English title that's in both the Japanese TV broadcast and in the Crunchyroll nonsense that we get in the western world. That obviously doesn't mean anything since it definitely isn't plastered across everything in both English and Japanese or anything. |
| Ok™ |
Nachtwandler_21 said: Moralfag detected. Kill him with fire >:-) Actually McRib is just trolling, I remember him doing this at the end of Yosuga no Sora, his trolling calmed my rage over the series. |

Hoppy said: Nachtwandler_21 said: Moralfag detected. Kill him with fire >:-) Actually McRib is just trolling, I remember him doing this at the end of Yosuga no Sora, his trolling calmed my rage over the series. Yeah, I remember this too. He watched mainly ecchi and fanservice stuff, yet always appears in topics bashing their morality. Theres only one word I can think of for that behavior. |

They're not pirates, they're not bodacious, and they're only in space occasionally. False advertisement at its finest. I was annoyed too that pirating basically means to service customers in this series. You don't have to go into the series for the sci-fi or the pirating, you have to watch it for the slice-of-life show it is - which happens to have a space-ish setting. I managed to get some enjoyment out of it because it really has a good focus on details and subplots even though it's basically a fanservice show (Nobody would care for it it it wasn't all teenage girls on the cast, nobody except me :P). It's definitely not a bad show, but it's not my favorite kind of anime genre-wise and that wasn't entirely obvious before it aired. Anyway, neither hate nor overly praise are called for regarding this show in my opinion. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| all hail one piece nothing more nothing less |
| I don't get why people hate Mouretsu Pirates, but I'm glad it's up high in the rankings, maybe chance for a 2nd season. |
Higashi_no_Kaze said: (Nobody would care for it it it wasn't all teenage girls on the cast, nobody except me :P) Huh? I prefer the actual crew of the Bentenmaru over the yacht club (except for Jenny, but she's the only standout). It's wrong to say that it's an all teenage girl cast when Marika is the only crewmember of the Bentenmaru who is a teenage girl, though Chiaki and the two princesses have tagged along. |

It's wrong to say that it's an all teenage girl cast when Marika is the only crewmember of the Bentenmaru who is a teenage girl, though Chiaki and the two princesses have tagged along. You're right, but for some time now we haven't seen much of the real crew at all and the name of the show suggests the school girl crew is at least of equal importance. Not that I particularly dislike them, but it's just too typical to not call it fanservice. And I wish the real crew members would get some focus, but so far we only got backstories for some of the various girls. Again, not that they were bad, but I think it supports my point that the main selling point of this show (Especially in terms of sales) are cute teenage (or even younger) girls only and all the males are secondary characters at best. |

I prefer Ai and Jenny, Ai is a cute, talented loli with serious amounts of take home cuteness, I will be enjoying her skills with the skiff next episode, Jenny is quite the lady, helps with the yuri too. |

| Glad Mouretsu Pirates' sales are decent. I wouldn't mind a second season, but I'd rather not have anime original material (that is, if the first season has caught up with the novel.) |
| I guess that means no second season for Papa no Iukoto :( I can always hope I guess. |

I wouldn't mind a second season, but I'd rather not have anime original material (that is, if the first season has caught up with the novel.) There are 8 novels, the anime is only covering about half of that, so they could do another two-cour sequel immediately. I hope for a break in between. If they decide to do a second season. It's an okay show but too much would be too much. |
| Is this line on the DVD sales a misprint? 15, *,265 *,***,265 Mouretsu Pirates vol.5 Seems odd when only vol3 of the BluRay is out |
 |
| @scruffykiwi No, it's not. There are 7 BD ~3 eps each and 13 DVD's 2 eps each |
| |
| *1, 6,352 *6,352 Mouretsu Pirates vol.3 Limited Edition *8, *,296 *7,206 Mouretsu Pirates vol.2 Limited Edition 15, *,265 *,***,265 Mouretsu Pirates vol.5 50, *1,201 *65,051 Mouretsu Pirates "Mugen no Ai" *8, *6,472 Mouretsu Pirates YES! Deserves good sales. Though I'm surprised there are people buying it, even though there's no ecchi or anything. o_o Whatever. I support because it's one of the series that I thought "this is probably ecchi and crap". Now on 19/26 and loving it. The title is misleading~ *7, 16,990 *16,990 Accel World "Chase the world" 12, *5,740 *27,201 Sakamichi no Apollon "Sakamichi no Melody" 27, *2,482 **2,482 Kuroko no Basket "Start it right away" 37, *1,825 **5,539 Hyouka "Yasashisa no Riyuu" Great songs. :3 |

| Mouretsu probably appeals to an older, tech-guy sort of audience. Im far from that demographic, so i found it incredibly dull. |
Thanks for the info. Is this difference between the DVD and BD episode count common? If so it makes the comparisons that combine the BD and DVD sales a little tricky |
|
| well nise still selling.. good.. |
  |
| One piece !!! always in top 10 as expected ! |
This makes me happy. :D |
jmal said: shadowtsunami said: too many ecchi elements This is utter nonsense. Yeah, if there is one thing Moretsu Pirates isn't, its ecchi. Its been far more conservative in that regard then I expected, so I dunno what that guy is talking about. |
