| Eh.. I think this whole 'Free' backlash thing is blown out of proportion. Haters and/or the vocal minority will always be out in full force voicing their opinions. They will always be the loudest, yet it's the silent majority that doesn't care or even pay attention to them. Look at how quiet these sales threads are now that Kaoishin is gone ( hopefully for good ). Same concept. I'm sure KyoAni haters in Japan loved the opportunity of using Free to start some conspiracy that has little to no merit. If the backlash was real I would have expected KyoAni's youtube channel to be bombarded with hate comments and tons of dislikes on their videos, yet all of their chu2koi2 videos are mostly positive, with little dislikes. As for Nintendo.. the only problem with them is they released the Wii U with no games. Heck, even now you can say it STILL has no games aside from maybe one or two ( that new mario game ). Had they launched with that recent Mario game and released the new SSB a few months later, the Wii U would be doing great right now. |

| When's the date the Tokyo Ravens BD/DVD is being released? |
| Now, I'm really, really worried about P.A. Works. How many more flops can they survive. |

jmal said: Yes, 7-7.5K which is great, just not my dream of a 10K average. Impossible dream perhaps but...

I wouldn't say from #7 to #10 is "way" down, but I'm not surprised the more storefront heavy LitBus is higher today. Looks like Non Non should still do just fine. |
| Yowamushi Pedal held up really well, almost 6k 2nd volume. Wasn't that supposed to be an event ticket anime? |

| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| I don't think anyone knows why that happened. Sure, the threshold might have been the reason if it appeared at like 18th or so, but not at third. It's got to be some sort of problem with either shipping the product, initial lack of stock, or reporting of data to oricon or anything along those lines. |

| It wouldn't be a 'new' unless zero copies had been sold previously. Which wouldn't be the case from either of those things. |

Xinception said: Yeah, sucks that it's on a downward trend now... hopefully it perks back up. Right now the Stalker estimate is only around 2.2K BDs and .5K DVDs which may or may not rank depending on the rest of the shows coming out March 19th. Sakura Trick in the 300s... Awwww... Such a low season overall for pre-order predictions. |
| Speaking of Dogakobo shows that are ranking well, when the GJ-Bu 'Repeat' BD set was solicited I certainly did not expect it to stay in the top 30 for its first 10 days. I know that they're selling it dirt cheap (basically the price of a single volume) but still, for a show with its vol 1 sales under 2.5k (and its initial release was rather cheap as well) I'm surprised and pleased to see it ranking so high. Dogakobo have been the most consistent when it comes to entertaining SoL/gag-comedy shows, so I hope they continue their level of prowess with Mikakunin as they did so great with Yuru Yuri, GJ-bu, and Love Lab. I'm surprised that Sakura Trick isn't doing better to be honest. |
| Not really too surprised Sakura Trick isn't doing too well. Its problem is that it just tries too hard... you lose pretty much everything good about yuri if you don't make it subtle and everyone is canon lesbians. Its more enjoyable when its only hinted at and you ship the characters together yourself. Even Yuru Yuri was better then this, it didn't have everyone making out by the first episode. |

| To Love ru doesn't have Rito going out of his way to make out with girls every episode. If it was like that probably wouldn't like it either. |
|
| Well I dunno, I view yuri as a more pure thing, while when you have a guy involved it'll naturally be more perverted. When you have a girl acting like a hormone filled teen guy and wanting to make out with other girls its a turn off. |

Yuri doesn't have to be 'pure' or whatever. God forbid that in lesbian relationships two girls would want to make out with each other just like a straight relationship! There is obviously no way that girls can be sexually driven, right. |

I will like what I like and don't have to worry about it being realistic. |

| In my opinion, the best kind of yuri is stuff like Fate/Nanoha. They're really good friends and there are certainly strong hints that there is more to it then just being friends, but its not so blatant and obvious that their love turns into fetish material. I would have lost respect for Seven Arcs if they threw in unneeded make out scenes, even if that stuff did happen behind the scenes. |

| I hope we get more sales for NagiAsu go go go! And yay for Natsume Yuujinchou high up in stalker (its nearly release date) :D |

| Sakura Trick is down to 850# ;_; scytheavatar said: Edrahil said: jmal said: Log Horizon probably isn't doing as poorly as the ranking might make it look but I'll be really happy if it hits its 3k+1k estimates. One question regarding Log Horizon: I remember reading something about Log Horizon airing on a govermental-funded Channel. Is that correct and if it is, does that mean, that in this particular case sales are not/not as important as usual for the series and it's success? Or is it just a coinicidence, that has no deeper effects? It's shown on NHK, which funded 3 seasons of Phi Brain despite them all being sales flop IIRC. And 6 seasons of Major, and 3 seasons of Bakuman, and 2 seasons of Letter Bee. It kinda gives me hope for a 2nd season of Gaint killing during the world cup. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |

- I only draw freestyle! - |
| WCW up to #56, looks like awesome episode #5 may have been a sales turning point for it! Still not sure I can buy it due to some art and animation choices but the music is really good, buying that for sure. |
