People saying Code Geass is like Guilty Crown makes me rage inside.

Incidentally, for anyone keeping score at home, recall that the box set for the final Winter show, Black Rock Shooter, doesn't release until June 22, so we'll have to wait until then for the final temporal sales rankings. Not that it's exceptionally difficult to predict how they'll turn out or anything, just saying for the sake of completeness.

[Jarmel]

It's mediocre because the easiest way to sell itself is by pandering to the worst fetishes of the otaku. And I never said anything about those shows deserving their sales.

My initial point is that there are shows that do better and are worse. There are also tons of shows that are absolute shit that have good sales. I don't see why this particular show would set you off as compared to Highschool DxD breaking 10k and still having good sales.

For you Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay Night people I gotta share this image I got on Twitter. Proceed with caution: You may never look at Kirei the same way again.

Shocking revelaiton

It-it's not like I'm doing this for you or anything! D-Don't get the wrong idea, Baka!!

Needs more zettai ryouiki.

Not that is a scary thought. :-P

No, that one pisses me off too.

I mean there are much worse offenders and I think most people have recognized by now that Japan has bad taste for the most part.

Out of curiosity, which shows sell better than 57k for a volume, and are actually generally considered worse than Nisemonogatari? Gundam SEED Destiny is probably the only one I can think of. Are there any others?

In before Madoka and Bakemonogatari.

Doesn't that make it easier to create a life size replica? :P

I don't think most people would consider those -worse- than Nise.

I doubt anyone here would say Bakemono, sure, but Madoka is sufficiently different that I could see someone (wrongly) saying it's worse than Nisemono.

Code Geass R1 2

Oh, so Ledouche's a Prince? Interesting.

The pacing in this series is commendable. You never know what'll happen next because there's no building up at all, haha.

This episode's best moment was the Lancelot's falling person sensor being activated.

Hindsight.

I didn't say anyone. I said "generally". That implies some sort of consensus. :P

Hey, I just call the elements as I see them.

That said, I'm sure it'll have a better/more entertaining narrative.

Code Geass R1 2

So some mecha action along with further delving into the strong contrast of Ledouche and his friend in terms of ideals which lead to similar places, but have different execution and so forth.

Science man sounds trolling, expect him to troll in the future.

And problems within the royal family?! Dun Dun DUUUUN

Looking forward to more mechas and conflict then, also keeping the school to a minimum is a plus.

More lambs led to the slaughter that is Code Geass, I see.

First season is slightly better than R2 if you ask me, but both are extremely entertaining, enjoy.


Regulus, why do you make it so easy to hate you, not even your Erika avatar can save you. :(

[hosannainexcelsis]

There are much worse things to be pissed about in regards to sales than Nise doing well.

Personally I get more upset at the failure of anime aggressively targeted at general audiences, such as Dennou Coil and Letter to Momo, than the success of yet another show of questionable merits among the otaku niche.

[Jarmel]

Out of curiosity, which shows sell better than 57k for a volume, and are actually generally considered worse than Nisemonogatari? Gundam SEED Destiny is probably the only one I can think of. Are there any others?

There are only two shows above Nise in regards to average sales per volume. I would definitely say both are worse(those being both Gundam Seed). I thought Code Geass was higher than it was and was going to argue about R2 in terms of quality as opposed to QUALITY however R2 was only in the 40k range. There is also the whole longer franchises have more volumes and thus more profit argument (which would allow me to make the case for some of the franchises in the 40k margin) but I'll just revise my argument to say that in general there are franchises that are that are worse yet do amazingly well, maybe not to the extent of Nise but are certainly up there. Perfect example: The E7 movie doing 40k.

[duckroll]

Letter to Momo's poor theatrical performance is sad, but I wonder if we can really blame general audiences for not buying Denno Coil on DVD. It was released in 2 episode volumes, and the LEs came with complete storyboards for the included episodes as extras. That's not really the sort of release that's attractive to a general audience at all.

I take this to mean that otaku happily ate from the BRS hog trough? I can't believe that I'm even letting myself hope that it doesn't sell well, but I'll still be disappointed if not the least bit surprised.

I was being a bit ambiguous there in my response; I wasn't thinking of Dennou Coil's DVD sales so much as what I understand was a failure to find a wide, receptive audience during its TV airing. Of course the way the DVD market is in Japan isn't going to be attractive to a large number of people.

Code Geass R1 3

Oh god why.

Of course there's the school setting, huh. I really hope it doesn't get much screen time.

Other than that, Ledouche entered full keikaku mode for a second there, and it was interesting. And I guess he has no qualms about killing his "brothers". That's always a plus.

[Ultimadrago]

Code Geass R1 3

So it seems that Lelouche will have plenty of keikaku up his sleeve throughout this series. I look forward to how unbelievable it might get!

We also learn of Ledouche's limit to his douchenozzle-powers! One a person, huh? I am guessing the length of control depends on the order or question given.

Also, awkward direct character introductions are awkward.

So I hope you all agree that Kallen > Shirley > Nunnally.

Cordelia is the best.
