Re: Zero still not nearly at the same level of anime boost as KonoSuba last season. Konosuba itself dropping but still hanging on to the top 10 for another week.

*Like last week these are the BUNKO rankings. The rankings that I previously posted were suspended as a result of the Kumamoto earthquake. As such, anything that is not a bunko format release is not included and these figures can not be compared with rankings for 11th April or before. Rankings are considerably higher for bunko ranks than for the bunsho ranks. On w/c 17th April 500th in the bunsho ranks was 193rd in the bunko ranking.

Considering Mahouka SS volume was published only 9 days ago, it's doing pretty great too. A second season is inevitable. Just a matter of time before they announce it.

Well week 6 was kind of a breather. With last week's episode I'm sure the sales will increase by a lot again just like the BD/DVD - pre orders
Still it would be fine even if the sales stay like that since we deal with a long term advertisement here.
