The no demand that caused Fate/kaleid to get 3 seasons, 3 OVas and 15 BD specials? I also enjoyed the show(a good male mc in a romance? what?), but I doubt it was the loli causing the lack of sales. Seeing as it was doing decent in the pre-order rankings, but it suddenly dropped, I do not/can not read 2ch, but what 'DmonHiro' said would make a lot of sense. Never has a series been as overestimated in its pre-order sales estimates as Crime Edge. It was overestimated by like 1016%. From what i've seen at-least. Back then, I saw a bunch of theories it was done by trolls. But why that series and why never again? Cancelling pre-orders makes a lot more sense now. |

Yep, same author did SAO actually. Like I said I suspect something else was at work here too. |

Yeah, I actually remember it having 2000+ points before we got the sales figure, but the point is that if it had a "busty babe" as the main girl, it would have surely gotten a couple of times more sales in the end. Additionally I'd mention Kaleid Liner is by far the worst selling Fate title ever, can't even be compared to anything else. Even with a name with such a huge following, it has a hard time selling decent. |

Unless you actually show some proof, I doubt i'm going to believe that.
Good thing BD sales are not everything. It has more episodes than any other fate adaption(33 + 15 short specials). |

That is rather sad to hear. Though we can't confirm if this is true or not, the fact remains thst pre-orders were pulled out after that specific episode (which was pretty damn sweet by the way). I liked this show, and I would have liked to see more of it animated. I doubt the manga was axed, however. Usually, when a manga is axed, it's the publisher that gives the information away. In this case, however, it's the author saying that he’s going to end it, so I suppose he's simply going to lead it to it's planned conclussion. That’s usually the case with manga that are only slightly popular. |

Is the manga actually in English on that site? They have English blurbs, but I don't see anything that indicates whether or not the manga itself is in English. I know nothing about Book Walker... I ask because, I see Inari Konkon is there. And, being able to read that series may actually have me breaking my "no digital manga" pledge. On topic, I really liked the Crime Edge anime. With it ending, my wish would be for it to have a 2nd anime season to finish it off. Had no idea about the poor (or should I say abysmal) sales for this title. It's sad that it didn't do well, really liked the MCs in this one. |

This was a very weird series. Sometimes creepy, sometimes funny, but it was always very enjoyable. I liked it quite a bit and I like how it portrayed it's relationships, I don't think I've seen many series like that. It's nice that it's ending in a way, I hope a translation of the manga happens, even it is only scanalations.

Was just wondering recently what happened to that series. I remember the anime fondly, and was wondering if there was any chance left for it to continue. I guess, in terms of the poor sales, the only non-nefarious possibility I could posit is that it came out at a bad time. I don't really know what else came out at that time, but it is possible, I suppose, that there were a number of other popular series and this one simply wasn't a big enough hit to overcome any other noise. Looking back, Attack on Titan, Valvrave, Majestic Prince, Oreimo season 2, Scientific Railgun S, were all running that season. It would seem plausible that those or other series could have sucked the air from what was a decent, but not particularly blockbuster, series - assuming of course you're talking about a crowd without unlimited funds.

I remember I really liked the first episode, it had a kind of sweet-but-disturbing quality that really hooked me, but it slowly started spiraling downwards, focusing too much on the "assassins" and with way too many "Iwai humiliation" fanservice without much rewarding sweet-disturbing romance. In the end it just became tasteless and gross and the lady with the jello boobs that randomly appeared at the end was just the final nail on the coffin for me.

I watched this anime on anime on demand a good while ago and really like the music and the whole out there plot. It all boil down to different fetish round items that make the user want to kill. The ending was like nyan koi where it hints at season 2 stuff gonna go down but you know both those titles don't get season 2. Its good news that they will end it with a final chapter and not just drop it unfinished |
