Welcome to TLADT. n_n
Is Sentenal including SEED Destiny with SEED? Nice to see that Madoka sold so much~
Nah, SEED Destiny is legitimately a different show. Its a sequel, a really bad sequel, but not simply "season 2" of SEED.
Very much agreed about Clannad, I think one of the big reasons I liked the anime so much was how well they managed to incorporate all the different routes.
No. You have no soul.
I didn't play the VN, and I heard a lot was left out (how much exactly? probably not too much, or were the different routes actually fleshed out that far past just dating?) but it's nice to hear that :D
I tried to watch Kanon (watched like 13 episodes or so on request of friend, claiming it was great) but I got bored... the arcs weren't smooth, but in Clannad they did a good job focusing on each arc while also developing the other characters and plot etc.
In all seriousness, when you've both watched the anime and read the VN it feels like that your feelings about the anime depends on which characters you liked in the VN. I for one really disliked Nagisa so the anime ends up really meh to me, especially as my fave heroine (Kotomi) has her route violently raped and then fed to the dogs, with no chance of being saved. I feel like I'm the only person that really liked Kotomi though, lol. Just get a lot of hate from people when I mention her, especially from people who only watched the anime.
Wait whoa whoa that is seriously what happens in the kotomi route? i didn't know a romance/drama could be so... cruel? or is that just one of her endings?
Also, I also didn't like Nagisa that much, though I didn't play the VN. In the anime I liked tomoyo the most, so I was quite disappointed to see no "arc" for her. How much of the game, would you say, is Nagisa compared to each of the other heroines?
I, having only watched the anime, will say that I liked Kotomi too ^^. Sunohara was the best though ! kekek
I didn't mean literally...it was figuratively speaking. >_> Though what they did was about as bad.
In the VN Nagisa is still the main heroine and she usually plays a part in other routes (for no reason at all, seriously fuck her can't she gtfo she just pisses me off lol) but the other ones actually don't get hella friendzoned in their routes (obviously) and they cut out a lot of things,even a whole route though it wasn't really relevant to the main plot anyway. It's obvious why they did it but still sucks.
The sunohara ending? xD. Or I'm guessing there is an imouto route?
No imouto route. It's technically one, but at the same time not at all. Sumohara ending is a bit...different. There are a lot of small details. You should give the VN a try if you enjoyed the anime, it's far better imo (though that's the case with most VNs that have an anime attached to them)
There's a side character (doesn't show up at all in the anime) that gets his own route where he pairs up with Ryou
Wait, you play as a male side character ? o.o interesting Well, I guess that's the obvious reason why it wasn't in the show now xD
You're still Tomoya, but instead of you getting together with one of the girls, you help Kappei pair off with Ryou. I suppose you could say it makes up for Ryou not getting a proper route with Tomoya (her "route" is essentially a bad end in the middle of Kyou's route).
That was what SEED sold in it's first WEEK of release in japan.
SEED is easily the most popular anime that's come out in the last 15 years. It singlehandedly revived the entire anime industry.
Well actually wiki says:
In April 2004, Bandai Visual announced that one million copies of the Gundam SEED DVD had been sold in Japan, with the first volume having sold over 100,000 copies.
The series ended in september 2003, so that's ~7 months after. If you look at Code Geass,
By August 2008, over 900,000 Code Geass discs have been sold in Japan.
That's 1 year after season 1 but 1 month before R2 finished airing. Both series are about ~50 episodes so in terms of sales, it seems like Code Geass has the stronger numbers there?
Anyways, me and Sentenal have cleared things up, there were some silly misconceptions which had a snowball effect but now everything's good xD I think everyone should just ignore the majority of our posts since it would take quite a long time to see what went wrong especially if you want to try to dissect our actual opinions from them.
Based wikipedia. Here's an actual sales chart. Number in parentheses is excluding BD-release, no idea why its there.

Theres so much stuff in that thread, it does become hard to read. As far as I know, these charts are BD sales to date based upon yearly/monthly/weekly rankings or something. That's where the numbers came from though. There are sources for like, everything in there too.
But yeah, madoka vols 1-5 sold 50k+ in the first week, so thats why it's extremely high. It broke Bakemono's record of having most BDs sold in a single volume in the first week, also why it's extremely high too.
Also worth noting it's in average sales per unit (either boxset or volume), so it isnt a sum of all volumes, so I guess you can multiply it by volumes to get an approximate total sales. This way longer shows arent skewed as having an advantage.
Lol I thought I remembered SEED being on Toonami but people not liking it much or it being one of the worst Gundams, then I found it weird that people are saying SEED is good and stuff here. Then I found out there's SEED Destiny xD
That was what SEED sold in it's first WEEK of release in japan.

I, having only watched the anime, will say that I liked Kotomi too ^^. Sunohara was the best though ! kekek
I didn't mean literally...it was figuratively speaking. >_> Though what they did was about as bad.
In the VN Nagisa is still the main heroine and she usually plays a part in other routes (for no reason at all, seriously fuck her can't she gtfo she just pisses me off lol) but the other ones actually don't get hella friendzoned in their routes (obviously) and they cut out a lot of things,even a whole route though it wasn't really relevant to the main plot anyway. It's obvious why they did it but still sucks.
The sunohara ending? xD. Or I'm guessing there is an imouto route?
No imouto route. It's technically one, but at the same time not at all. Sumohara ending is a bit...different. There are a lot of small details. You should give the VN a try if you enjoyed the anime, it's far better imo (though that's the case with most VNs that have an anime attached to them)
There's a side character (doesn't show up at all in the anime) that gets his own route where he pairs up with Ryou
Wait, you play as a male side character ? o.o interesting Well, I guess that's the obvious reason why it wasn't in the show now xD
You're still Tomoya, but instead of you getting together with one of the girls, you help Kappei pair off with Ryou. I suppose you could say it makes up for Ryou not getting a proper route with Tomoya (her "route" is essentially a bad end in the middle of Kyou's route).
Ah, thanks. That's interesting. Well, now I understand why the Kyou/Ryou special episode went the way it did ^^
Googling around, found some more sales charts that include CG and SEED/SEED Destiny. Don't know how accurate or good the source is though.
Theres so much stuff in that thread, it does become hard to read. As far as I know, these charts are BD sales to date based upon yearly/monthly/weekly rankings or something. That's where the numbers came from though. There are sources for like, everything in there too.
But yeah, madoka vols 1-5 sold 50k+ in the first week, so thats why it's extremely high. It broke Bakemono's record of having most BDs sold in a single volume in the first week, also why it's extremely high too.
Also worth noting it's in average sales per unit (either boxset or volume), so it isnt a sum of all volumes, so I guess you can multiply it by volumes to get an approximate total sales. This way longer shows arent skewed as having an advantage.
That was actually really heartfelt. I figured there had to be some story behind her father, and that it had to do with her man-hate was a pretty good tie-in. This series, always really well written.
Anyway, has anyone watched any of the The World God Only Knows dub yet? I think I might pick it up next time I'm out, and the English cast looks good, I'm just not sure.

How often does KWMS update? I used to read it and then it was slow at updating.

Holy shit Chitanda is a pain. If she goes insane or something it'd be awesome considering her behaviour but I really doubt that it will happen. D: At least second ep was significantly better so I'll keep watching.
Edit:
Cannot wait for this. One of the few cute things I can say with a straight face that I find to be really amusing awesome..

Every time you think you're up to their scheme, and that everything will be fine. You carefully read through it as you approach what you feel is the end of it all.
