He's fighting a losing battle against indifference.
LOL. I guess Kirito is our new Kira.
At least Tamako and Morgiana beat weaksuna. Sugu never even made it to top 10 wtf.
I'll expect some Valrave, Majestic prince, Galgantia, Railgun and Shingeki no Kyojin characters to take over the top 10.
Oreimo vs Railgun. Round one. Fight!

Hopefully our team rabbits makes it in, Ledo, and Valvrave leads.
Would best character Eren make it in, people didnt seem to like his personality
This smacks of laziness on the part of both Funimation as licensee and the original rights owners as licensors. I'm surprised the licensors aren't more aggressive in limiting what rights they grant in situations like this if the licensee has no intention of exploiting them - I know there's probably comparatively little money to be made by smaller English language territories (specifically the UK) but surely Some Money is better than No Money.
I'm not totally sure how sub-licensing works when it comes to entertainment media of this kind. In my branch of the entertainment licensing world we would never treat a company like Funimation as an agent in this regard - we don't allow our licensees to sub-license rights because we lose a degree of control (and income).
I assume that Anime Limited in particular are leveraging their close links with Bandai, Shochiku etc. to attempt to cut out the middle man and license direct - after all, anything that the US licensees produce should automatically become the property of the original Japanese licensors - but these things are always slow going.
I've only really noticed the region locking with the noitaminA shows (and will now I guess with Attack on Titan). I almost feel as though Funi aren't really interested in streaming at all from the lackadaisacal way they treat security (the early leaks of Psycho Pass spring to mind...) and their continued inability to get actual simulcasts, which is particularly damaging when they license such "hot tickets" as Titan.
You've got better links than most with the relevant figures from the UK industry at least - thanks for the inside gossip. I'm surprised that MVM or Anime Limited haven't tried to muscle in on Geneon but maybe they're too small scale for that at present.
Tamako instead of Shiori or Kanna. I don't know what our world is coming to.
LOL. I guess Kirito is our new Kira.
What funny's some chara from bomba show on top,.. Gothicmade lulz
There's one Nagano fanboy that keep sending hundred postcard or what
Hoooly shit! You make an excellent case! :O
I rather liked it too, and here I thought I was completely burnt out on zombies. Admittedly the dude doesn't have much in common with other zombies.
Don't suppose were likely to get more? Or am I going to have to go back to the source as per usual.
From Funimations point of view, I'd imagine that selling streaming rights separate to the physical rights would actually be a negative, in as much as the fact that something being previously available streaming in a territory would reduce what they could sub-license out the physical rights out for. It could also simply be a risk-mitigation thing as well - them sporadically leaking an episode is one thing, but another company removed from them doing so would likely add no end of additional headaches.
I must admit, I know none of the specifics of how any of this stuff works, only that a bunch of shows Manga release over here are arranged through Funimation rather than the original licensors. It definitely goes on, though.
More than likely - did you hear that Anime Limited are bringing Shinichiro Watanabe to London MCM next month?
I don't know, most indication is that MVM are trying to muscle in on Geneon, at least to a limited degree - they're releasing Shana, after all. The main brake on that at the moment is more likely materials availability, in so much as most of the recent Geneon shows people would likely want have yet to be dubbed, and MVM haven't historically done sub-only releases (though I guess this is going to change with Bakemonogatari/Nisemonogatari).
(Let's not oversell how much inside gossip I hear, though! I don't really know any of the people you'd get really interesting information out of...)
LOL. I guess Kirito is our new Kira.
All that pandering and still no Rin-ne. Sad day.
Did it even qualify?
A laugh ingrained into my brain; Naga "The Serpent" and her own even more comically exaggerated than the 'ojō-sama' typical one.

Although most won't benefit from this color depth on common 24-bit (8-bit per channel) panel TV sets, this is kind of further future-proofing the editions! Also, My Neighbor Totoro, Grave of the Fireflies, Kiki's Delivery Service & Only Yesterday are listed as already compatible and waiting to be played on those models.
The real future is Studio Ghibli!
Don't forget their 'Los Gatos Samurái' dub, splendid one!
Novelty, novelty involved! Panasonic Corp., (thanks to their Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory research center's work on Studio Ghibli's recent digital disc releases) has taken advantage of this upcoming launch to push for MGVC (MASTER GRADE VIDEO CODING) on specific Blu-ray Disc player models. This is their own implementation of the MVC codec standard that seems to be very cool; using the additional data stream to superpose (interpolate) color information that makes up for the compression loss when is used the normal 8-bit encoding for each of the three signal components, coming from the 36-bit color digital master tape (http://www.phileweb.com/news/d-av/201304/10/32810.html). It could be my preferred advancement to come from the efforts of consumer electronics companies to promote stereoscopic 3D vision technology.

Japan eats anything KyoAni especially if it has cute teen girls in it. Personally I found the show to be a drag.
Lols? Seriously. Lulz.

Just give me my Gundam SEED movie Sunrise. It would print money too.
It didn't do very well, yes.

It did bomb, that's why it's kinda funny seeing it there.
No, I loved Tamako Market. I just don't understand how a show that got less than 4000 blu-ray sales managed to top a 'most popular' chart.

Oh god I just impulse bought a set of Ogura Hyakunin Isshu karuta cards...
I'm tempted to learn Japanese just to play the game, since I've played some similar games in the past.

There's a huge disconnect between Newtype rankings and BD/DVD sales. Because lol Newtype readers.

But can I buy Season 2?

It does make me wonder just who exactly reads Newtype.

Well okay, aside from SAO. Bad taste is universal with that one.
Unfortunately not yet.
Well considering all of the popular shows on that list is pretty lulz, lol.
Tamako being a show that people watch and being a show that people buy are different. I heard of an idea from Twitter that a lot of people on 2ch were confused who the target audience were and that it wasn't really in line with the type of shows otaku buy. I can't say whether it's true or not, but it's an interesting idea.

Speaking of shows selling, how did Tsuritama and Hyouka sell?
Also how was/is Chihayafuru doing?

It was a pretty popular show so it makes sense it ended up there. Sadly not as popular among the anime volume buying niche.

If there were any justice, Jojo would be in that #2 spot instead of Gothicmade.
Hyouka sold ok. Tsuritama flopped hard and so did Chihayafuru.
Who reads Newtype, anyways?
Can't say for Tsuritama or Chihayafuya, but if I recall correctly, Hyouka averaged around 8k per volume, which wasn't bad at all. Of course, it'd be nice if it did Chuu2 numbers.
That bird's well fit innit.

I'm curious about this as well. I had always assumed it was mostly young males who were fans of Gundam because of the name. I wouldn't be surprised if it were once targeted towards Gundam fans but became a more general, varied anime magazine.
I figured Tsuritama would flop
No pun intended.
