Wonder how long it's going to be before a s2 is announced for mahouka. The volumes released so far have all been doing well.

That Konosuba boost is amazing. People really loved the show huh.

And they really love the novels!

@TheHatedDMC People who think it is a plain old harem have COMPLETELY MISSED THE POINT! It is not a plain old harem light novel/anime, it is the best parody of harem LNs to come along in a long time. And it has cute character designs, great humor even outside of the parody. The anime has great music, sakuga that is hilarious to add to the humor. So no, it is not "hard to go over the fact that it is a harem", it is very easy if you actually watched or read it.

Woot! KonoSuba dominates the chart! Season 3 please! I want a proper Megumin arc, so don't rush it DEEN!.

It's nice to see Date A Live still selling well. But it doesn't seem IMS or Kadokawa is interested in doing a third season.

Seriously, what's so special about Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!? Its a harem. I know some of you are gonna say "its the comedy" but its hard to go over the fact its still a harem.

if it's harem then what? are you just judge it as the way it is? WTF man? i find horor is not appealing for me. should i said every horror is bad? that's not how it works. not appealing for you =/= not appealing for everyone.

Really guys (and girls)... How much must still sold out will, that the producers of Mahouka moving would for a 2nd season...>_>

Apr 15, 2016 1:19 PM by Tenryuu1

And why is it harem?? The MC is surrounded with girls yeh but they arent in love with him so it aint harem... they are just a party killing monsters, konosuba is all about comedy...

Mahouka no Rettousei must have a season 2.

Would be awesome if they announce a 2nd season after the movie specialy since they have enough material to make that 2nd season with 24ep~

Going to miss Assassination Classroom, happy it's doing so well.

Haikyuu!!, Food Wars and World Trigger are doing great <3
Not a big fan of the current arc in Food Wars though, I hope it ends soon.

The series ranking is a lot more relevant when it comes to seeing a series momentum.

Seeing how World Trigger Vol 14 is 100k behind Bleach vol 71, yet its ahead in the series ranking.
Kingdom doesn't even have a volume in the volumes ranking yet it has 520k that is some really nice backlog.

Push Bleach a little more and its gonna dust all that Soma and Terra Formars bullshit.

After that musical ends its run, bring the anime back.
