Chatterbox - Anime & Manga

I loled:

Fate/zero has, of course, topped another popular anime list.

Eureka Seven AO is third though, so HUZZAH.

I place no credibility in that. Hyouka is number two, Nyarko is six and it's generally dominated by other new series.

Zen Martial Arts Academy chapter 29: Looking forward to the next chapter. True, I'm not as interested in the tournament itself as what secret plots are going on in the background, but the fights look like they will still be interesting.

...at least the editor seem to agree with my shock/disappointment.

x2 I'm not sure whether you mean quality or popularity...

Popularity. That list only reflects a bunch of recent things. In another year stuff like Bakemonogatari and probably Fate Zero will still be on there, but Nyarko won't.

That's what it's supposed to be right? The most hyped things at the moment.

In other news: Medaka Box got another cour in Fall.

I know that has been the one thing that I've been hoping for for weeks, but I can't help beut feel skeptical about it.*

Really? I don't know where everybody gets DVD/BD sales figures so I can't confirm that...

I think it might be successful since everybody and their grandma is screaming "It Gets Better!" but it won't get as big as something like Naruto or One Piece since it airs at Otaku Oclock.

Well I've only heard that the sales were bad (since ANN hasn't kept track of that in months), so I'm in the same boat as you there.

The only problem is that if the DVD/BD sales are bad, there'd be no way Gainax would want to continue, meaning that we'd have to wait until someone else decides to pick it up. I'm just hoping that everybody's just holding out for the last two volumes (given anime prices in Japan, I wouldn't be that surprised) and that they sell way much more than the rest of the series.

*facepalm* How did I not notice that Twitter post link? I was wondering why there was absolutely no source.

The latest Shonen Jump Table of Contents has revealed that this week's chapter of Nurarihyon no Mago is the penultimate one. The final chapter will be in Jump NEXT.

Also, Medaka Box season 2 green-lit.

Were the Durarara OV As ever dubbed in english?

Can't seem to find any direct confirmation either way, though it appears not.

Yes. At least, I'm pretty sure this is an OVA.

Biglobe Poll on Summer Anime With Highest Interest Level Poll Results Released

Okay, I know that someone here already pointed out that these are not reliable, but this one seems ridiculous. *

I wonder who votes on those things.

A mix of nerds and non-nerds I'd assume?

Or just nerds.

Fractale dub preview eps are up on Youtube.

Preveiw for the Blood C movie.

You are now aware Blood C takes place in the same canon as XXXholic

Wasn't that released at least twenty days ago?

@Biglobe Poll: Not surprised at the top two. The first seasons of both those shows broke into the 10K tier.

Its been more or less confirmed that Naruto will come to an end next year.

That makes yet another series that got me into anime and manga in the first place thats ending....

Look at it this way: most of those series are ones that stuck around a long time and got to end on their own terms. Much better than Author Existence Failure or simply being canceled.

Now there is room for new series to take their place and it is a perfect time for you to broaden your horizons.

(I'm not too sad about Air Gear's ending. It had been coming for a LONG time.)
