If you come in here looking for "anime recommendations" then please refer to this chart before posting: Anime Recommendations (as of may 2014). We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.gg

Code Geass sold ~90% of what Gundam SEED has


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.



01)  *78,671  ¥3,558m  15 ep  2009  Shaft__________  Aniplex______  Bakemonogatari
02)  *71,057  ¥3,069m  12 ep  2011  Shaft__________  Aniplex______  Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica

Wow, where do you get those from? (like page or link)

Also, is the first number the number of sales sold in the first week, or...? I heard madoka sold a lot, but wow that is a lot.

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.


Oh, rofl kk xD

Hm, what is this route that wasn't in the anime?

Is it possibly... + Show Spoiler +
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.


Wow, nice links xD

SEED definitely has a love-it-or-hate-it quality to it, and apparently it didn't do well when it was first aired in the US. Was much more popular in Japan. But Gundam Wing did well in the US, and Gundam Wing sucks, so take that for what you will.

I wouldn't say emotionally dead, but I don't get the same emotional impact from watching cute 2d girls being sad that I used to. It's pretty shit though.

Why are there stories with sad endings? People want the emotional impact from that kind of stuff, even if it's not necessarily happy.

As much as there were girls being sad in KEY works, that's not the reason why they stand out.

I meant that as "drama" in general, not literally cute girls frowning.

I wish this still worked on me, Tin Woodman ain't got shit on me, I try to read the most depressing shit I can find and the tears just won't come.


Yeah, you're probably emotionally dead at 17. We all know how it is man.
I wouldn't say emotionally dead, but I don't get the same emotional impact from watching cute 2d girls being sad that I used to. It's pretty shit though.

This comment reminds me of the time I asked ZNF why he wanted to watch 5cm/s. Isn't that supposed to be depressing and sad too (not to mention, old as fuck)?

Why are there stories with sad endings? People want the emotional impact from that kind of stuff, even if it's not necessarily happy.


As much as there were girls being sad in KEY works, that's not the reason why they stand out.

It's early 2007, so therefore, it's old because it's a little over 5 years.

Code Geass sold ~90% of what Gundam SEED has


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.

Wow, where do you get those from? (like page or link)

Also, is the first number the number of sales sold in the first week, or...? I heard madoka sold a lot, but wow that is a lot.

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.


Oh, rofl kk xD

Hm, what is this route that wasn't in the anime?

Is it possibly... + Show Spoiler +
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.


Wow, nice links xD

SEED definitely has a love-it-or-hate-it quality to it, and apparently it didn't do well when it was first aired in the US. Was much more popular in Japan. But Gundam Wing did well in the US, and Gundam Wing sucks, so take that for what you will.

Eh, personally I like Wing a lot and think SEED had a lot of shortcomings. The story of SEED is good, but the characters were way too whiny and filled with melodrama for my tastes.

In pretty much any work of fiction or non-fiction, I find the characters to be as important or more important than the story itself. A bad story can be carried by good characters, a good story with bad characters is just bad, to me. That's why I couldn't really get into SEED, every episode of pure whiny kids crying about not wanting to kill people in war really got on my nerves.

That idea can work as character development. Look at Trigun. But Vash doesn't spend half the series crying, he just goes on with his chin set and does the right thing. Hell, even in the episode where + Show Spoiler +
Legato makes him kill him
, or when he+ Show Spoiler +
blows up a city
, he still gets over it and moves on with his life.

And while Wing has a silly plot, the characters ranged from "fun and interesting" to "badass and stoic", which I find much more interesting than most of what SEED had to offer.

Except for Mu La Flaga. That dude was fucking awesome.
It's your boy Guzma!

It's early 2007, so therefore, it's old because it's a little over 5 years.

I mean, I guess I can sorta understand watching depressing stuff for the sole reason to make yourself sad, but why would you want to watch ancient stuff from 2007/2008 and give yourself eye cancer?

Eh, personally I like Wing a lot and think SEED had a lot of shortcomings. The story of SEED is good, but the characters were way too whiny and filled with melodrama for my tastes.

In pretty much any work of fiction or non-fiction, I find the characters to be as important or more important than the story itself. A bad story can be carried by good characters, a good story with bad characters is just bad, to me. That's why I couldn't really get into SEED, every episode of pure whiny kids crying about not wanting to kill people in war really got on my nerves.

That idea can work as character development. Look at Trigun. But Vash doesn't spend half the series crying, he just goes on with his chin set and does the right thing. Hell, even in the episode where + Show Spoiler +
Legato makes him kill him
, or when he+ Show Spoiler +
blows up a city
, he still gets over it and moves on with his life.

And while Wing has a silly plot, the characters ranged from "fun and interesting" to "badass and stoic", which I find much more interesting than most of what SEED had to offer.

Except for Mu La Flaga. That dude was fucking awesome.

I'd strongly disagree the characters in SEED were bad (IMO they are one of its strong parts), but everyone has their own opinions and tastes. I won't really go into this too much/argue it, I've already given my opinion on both shows pretty indepth recently anyway, in my blog. IMO, characters in Wing ranged from "fun and interesting" (aka Duo), "Treize" (Treize), "most blatant Char to ever Char" (Zechs), and boring (rest of the cast), so even then I don't see Wing having "good characters and a bad story".

I mean, I guess I can sorta understand watching depressing stuff for the sole reason to make yourself sad, but why would you want to watch ancient stuff from 2007/2008 and give yourself eye cancer?

Whoa whoa, what the hell man, have you watched 5 cms/s? It looks better than 90% of the stuff released in recent years. And how is anime from 2007 ancient? There hasn't been any real improvement in the graphical quality of anime since then, except for a few shows like GC and Hyouka that have above average animation and that's enough to make everyone care about them no matter how mediocre the actual content is.

Because its a joke. Look who failed at sarcasm now. You cant possibly be so stoic that you fail to realise thats a troll. Especially after the supposedly painfully obvious sarcasm that most of what you say is riddled with.

Just saying something that's wrong is not sarcasm, at least not when it's written. There's a difference between making a ridiculous exaggeration, while even making the sentence sound dumb, and saying "anime from 2007 is old. Without voice or context, it's impossible to identify that as sarcasm. Apparently t's some sort of in joke over here (?), how am I supposed to be familiar with that?

Well I think your first hint should be that the same guy who, in this very thread on this very page, stated he liked an anime from 2002, was saying that.

Saying 2007 anime is old isnt a ridiculous exaggeration? What do you think?

Yeah. Exactly. Maybe the eye cancer through you off.

Without voice or context


Might do well to remember that the next time you employ it.

Might do well to remember that the next time you employ it.

Then let me use my post as an example. This is the part someone took too seriously:

the brilliant military tactics from the brilliant military mastermind that is Lelouch (such as baiting people onto a bridge and making it collapse, baiting people into a building and making it collapse, or baiting people onto a bridge and making a building collapse on top of it)

Not only is there a horrible repetition no one would use in a real sentence, the idea of considering what is essentially three slight variations of the same very simple tactic (baiting people and making shit fall on top of them) "brilliant military tactics" is completely retarded.

but why would you want to watch ancient stuff from 2007/2008 and give yourself eye cancer?

Now, this sentence does sound like something a sane human being would say, and while I might disagree with what it says, it's not fundamentally dumb as fuck. There might be people who think 5 year old anime is old. The Internet is probably filled with them.

If I say "My father is a reptile." it's obviously not true, but it's also not fucking sarcasm, is it now?
