Totally love Girls und Panzer, happy that it's doing so well. Hope more anime like GUP would get produced, definitely would buy them.

Still, its something that should be kept in mind. Especially considering the movie's very...mixed reception

Even if these numbers are significantly lower than for 2.22, moving >433k combined units in the first week is pretty damn impressive. Those numbers rival Ghibli films for first-week performance, I believe.


I think that no matter how mixed the reception is for eva, it will always sell regardless lol. Eva is like star wars in NA, no matter what, it will sell Surprised

Hmm... I contributed to those sales numbers with my first import of an Eva movie, the final Hyouka BD and Vividred 2.

I didn't get my Amazon order placed in time, so I won't be getting a copy of Girls und Panzer BD 4 for another week... ;_;

Mondaiji was good, but Love Live was better. Pretty much everything other than Love Live and Vividred did badly last season. The real travesty is Sasami-san bombing though. At least Mondaiji saw a ridiculously huge boost in novel sales.

Mondaiji was a generic action harem show with a terrible main character who was too perfect. I'm not surprised at all it didn't sell.

>generic

It wasn't

>harem

It wasn't that either. Jesus christ, one of the most notable things about it is the utter LACK of a romantic subplot.

>perfect main character

I hate how MCs have been so disgustingly beta for so long that anytime you actually have an alpha and badass MC he's called a mary sue.

Mondaiji was amazing and demonstrated how you can have an overpowered MC who still doesn't steal all the spotlight.

Also really Asuka was the main character, if you go by who had the most development.

Yeah, it seemed like she was focused on most.

Izayoi was just kinda there to be awesome and You...You was female moe Worf in that she basically just got knocked around to show off how powerful a villain was.

Shiroyasha is easily best girl tho

I would love to see GnP beat out SAO a lot more often and by much more since GnP is just a much better show especially compared to season 2 and has far less of a budget.
