• Late question, but did anyone find the links in the second post any useful? Felt like a good idea yesterday, but I am not sure if I'll do the same next week (if now the BBCodes remain disabled).

They're handy, but I dont think it would be too big a deal to just copy and paste the LN/manga titles into the search bar.

Really wished it was easier to get a hold of english translated LN (or if someone could magically make me able to read japanese overnight)

Glad that it was helpful to someone at least.

symbv said:

The main reason to why I added the links was because of the LN list. I know that some entries in the list are currently unavailable on MAL, so I figured I'd add links for the LN part in case people were interested and weren't able to find it. It eventually made me add links of the Manga entries as well. It's not too much extra time added, and it's just temporary anyway.

rodac said:

I guess it serves its purpose if people find it useful. And spending some extra time won't kill me. Also it's just temporary until the BBCodes are enabled again, so it's not really a huge issue.

Sep 1, 2013 12:24 AM by Snow

Oo, To Love Ru Darkness is up there. I didn't expect that!

I'm also kinda curious about Hoozuki no Reitetsu. For LN, I'm quite happy to see SNAFU up there and somewhat for Haganai. Sadly, I haven't been following the Haganai LN lately...

Aug 31, 2013 5:27 PM by Stark700

Well... this time nothing interesting, or in other words, too much titles that I dont know.

I did. I think it was a good idea.

I think it should be useful to some people (I suspect I need a little more work on my Japanese language before it will be for me). The big question is how much does it add to your work load and is it keeping you from doing something more important?

LOL glad it's selling.

Unlike the BD/DVD sales ranking, which people can easily find the title in MAL by doing simple search, there are LN (and perhaps a few manga) that are not in MAL database. People may find it useful to use the link to have a glimpse of what the title may look like. So I guess it serves some purpose, although I can understand that it may quite a bit of effort to come up with a second list, so I would say it should be something that is nice to have but it should not be viewed as a must have.

Thanks for the sales, Snow.

Don't forget that the LN sales are in courtesy of symbv!
And hey, having people reading the content is enough for me. Thanks though.

*13,365 *13,365 Tsuki Tsuki! Vol.12

This is a fantastic manga for harem, comedy, and ecchi lovers. I hope it's popular enough to get an anime adaption in 2014.

196,071 *,196,712 To LOVE-Ru Darkness Vol.8

Just awesome. Season 4 so we can see Nemesis animated please!

Aug 31, 2013 8:54 AM by shigeru212

Really good help, thanks for this. I even managed to find a couple more to read now.

...
The 6.25 novel covered the contents of episode 13, and based on the PV of the OVA, it will be covering (part of) volume 7.5. So that's closer to the equivalent of 2 volumes currently available for a new season, maybe 2.5 if the OVA doesn't fully cover volume 7.5.

Yeah, so really only two more episodes worth available at the moment. Perhaps one more if there is a 7.25 novel with volume 7. So still need to wait for another 5 novels worth unless he wants to write the anime scripts first/at the same time or something. Ah well.

Should be Harem, not Harlem.

Typo. Corrected.

Aug 31, 2013 4:59 AM by symbv

Thanks symbv, I didn't remember seeing #10. With releases right on the edge the release day of the week probably means the difference between ranking or just missing it, probably with similar actual sales I suspect.

25, **6,159 **6,159 Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai. Vol.11 Shinigami to Ousama

Is this the last volume?

Yes.

Sad that it only sell that much for last volume.

Did volume 10 rank at all? I don't remember.

Vol.10 did not seem to rank, implying it sold fewer than 6633 in its first week, although vol.9 did rank:

31位　**位　*1回　*10,036部　*10,036部　12/09/20　***4日　だから僕は、Ｈができない。　9　－死神と思い出－

Pan's new series Masochistic Ecstasy didn't rank at all unless the date was after the cutoff. I got both in the same package and would have to go back and check to see what the real dates were as both novels say August 25th.

Regarding Oregairu season two, Wataru Watari penned the original scripts for episodes 13 and the OVA so one possibility for a quick season two is anime only. As long as Wataru is writing them I don't care. Also remember that he has released 6.25, 6.5 and upcoming 6.75 novels with the discs so in fact we will have 5 novels available for a season two already if they want to animate all the side stories.

As long as it doesn't really suffer like Hayate CTMEoY who author also write anime only script then it's good.

To bad we can't hope for OreGairu S2 and Haganai S3 sometime soon(just not enough material) unlike the author herself decide to finish Haganai with next volume(which I strongly doubt)

And I want TerraFomers and Mahouka animes too

JOHJ STRONG
Terra Formars continues to sell despite its... controversial enemy design, which would be reason enough for me to avoid being associated with its support.
