I'll be honest, I searched the game after the show, was disappointed. It, much like the the first episode, seems unnecessarily dense with useless material.

I don't get it.
Is all this support ironic or are there depressed teenage boys who hate their parents legitimately floored by how much this show 'gets' them?

Eh, Divine Gate is simply a bad show, gave it a 1.5 stars. The reasons have already been mentioned several times in the preview guide so I won't bother repeating them. But since I picked it up I'l be giving it the usual three episode rule unless it sinks into truly terrible levels. They'll form the basis of the score I will be giving for the rest of the episodes that I won't be watching.

Hmmm;
Divine gate, or Gate: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri....
(weighs options)
....Theres only room for one gate this season, and im glad I chose the right one.
"Chose" as in watched the fist half of Gate, saw the synopsis for Divine gate and saying "F**k DAT" and ultimately staying as far away from anything to do with Divine gate apart from this article which I only read to stroke my ego.

Wait, so what does it even mean for it to top Amazon Japan searches and then drop out of the top 100 that quickly?
Just a lot of people looking it up, or are there actually people pre-ordering the first volume?

Honestly, i am always watching such kind of shonen anime each season, but divine gate is so disgusting i don't know if i ever will continue it. Will see after few next episodes.

same ill stay with it for now but this is a glaring drop candidate. first ep didn't impress me and i was pretty disinterested the whole time.

Were they searching for as to why it was so damn terrible? Dear lord that first ep would make K-Dramas blush with all the over dramatic scenes.

Maybe people are seeing it as the "Sharknado" or "The Room" of anime, it's so awful it's hilarious, I love quoting the first episode for every mundane thing, "Oh we need to buy sugar, BUT THERE'LL NEVER BE ENOUGH SUGAR TO FILL THE HOLES IN MY HEART!" *cue angsty stare into the sky*

Don't strong DVD sales often point to a strong fujioshi interest?
With most series, Blu-ray sales of anime sales in Japan easily outperform DVD sales, but I recall that being cited as one exception.
