I'm fairly curious about how Chu2Koi will perform, as it has been charting highly at HMV for a while now. I've also been curious about how much storefront sales contribute.
It was going neck to neck with Jojo the other day but both dropped due to SAO 3 and Ookami Kodomo DVD. At this rate it could go 12k.
Bear in mind that it is the ranking in Amazon, but as Ejc noted the situation may well be different in brick-and-mortar shops like HMV. It is safe to say that Chu2Koi should have a stronger storefront sales compared with say GirlPan. However, the reception of the latest episode has been pretty bad among fans in Japan, it is hard to tell how much it may affect its momentum in sales as the sales date draws near.
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.

I think its been bad among everyone. That was one of the worst episodes of any show I've seen all year and dropped Chu2Koi from my top 3 anime of the season. Absolutely terrible.

Oh so if we add those stores up it might go up to 16-18k. Good competition with Girls und Panzer since i am guessing Panzer will reach those same numbers. If those predictions are right I guess we'll have to see who will remain consistent on the next volumes.

Not really, the Amazon stalker points actually cover the storefront sales too, which is why it was treated with such awe by some people in Sales Thread. I don't know how they model the sales, but given its broad scope of trying to predict the overall sales purely from the Amazon ranking and the general remarkable accuracy given its limitation of source data, it is truly awesome. So the points you see about the final predicted point of Chu2byo at around 8775 (BD) and 1494 (DVD) is already the prediction for the Oricon chart. So the total is predicted to be around 12k. If Chu2byo is biased more towards storefront sales, the model will underestimate the sales, which is what happened for Dog Days and Yuru Yuri, but if the sales is biased towards Amazon, the model will overestimate the sales, which is what happened for Tari Tari and probably GirlPan. That said, I am a bit doubtful that even with storefront sales bias (and Amazon stalker prediction being an underestimation) the sales of Chu2byo will go up to 18k or even 16k.

Funny, to me last episode (even though it was so painful and totally not I what expected back in October) confirmed that Chuuni is by far the best anime of current season and now I wait for 12 to see how well it will fare against rest of the year, it even has decent chance of dethroning SpaceBros in my ranking.
I'm sad to see preorder rankings didn't get any bump after 11 aired, I have to hope people are still waiting for final.

At the price of Japanese CD single discs 44000 is nothing to wave off.

I have the first four Tari Tari Blu-ray discs and box and I love them. They are a masterpiece for sure. The audio on BD is just beautiful. I have the last two preordered and the second week of January can't come soon enough as I look forward to #5. As for a second season I think it is unlikely but an OVA or two or a movie I think I can get my hopes up for...

There might be even less next time.
There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do.

Ixion Saga is so low I was expecting better since it has Gintama's director. -__- This saddens me really its an amazing comedy series that is sadly under appreciated. I like it better than Gintama cause I love medieval/fantasy settings.

At least K is selling so some good news there. =D
