I'm sure I read that us in the UK weren't going to have the "Ilse's Notebook" OVA with volume 17 of Attack On Titan but it's up for pre order on Amazon .. : http://www.amazon.co.uk/Attack-Titan-17 ... s=kodansha

Could be an import, but I'd be pissed if Kodansha Comics deprived us of it. (Hopefully, their idea of a limited edition is not completely sold out by release date never to be seen again.) Although I gathered they probably would because of BBFC difficulties.Dannielle said:
I might tweet them and ask.
Anyone following the Clannad Visual Novel Kickstarter should take note of these recent news points:
- The BackerKit will end VERY SOON on August 16th. So if you wish to add additional items for your pledge, then it's best to sort that out ASAP!
- The Physical Edition for both Clannad and Clannad: Side Stories will require a CD-check mechanism, I assume this is similar to DRM.
- Translations for both Clannad and Clannad: Side Stories are complete and have begun the QC process.
- The estimated release date of the Kickstarter items is around November 2015.

Looks like Vice have upset a lot of people with this article, but then it wouldn't surprise me if they'd deliberately written it in such a questionable manner, so as to attract views.

Here's an interesting thought - Monster Musume is nowhere to be seen on this list:
Dragon Ball Super is also nowhere to be seen but that's pretty obvious (the show is recapping Battle of God's storyline at the moment and considering Japanese fans have probably already seen the film, it's not going to interest them).
I'm also glad to see Durarara!! x2 quite high on the main list since the sales for Shou were pretty low as far as I'm aware (Season 2 only managed to happen thanks to the influence of the English fanbase).

Interesting to see how different the lists are between genders.
On the basis of the gender split I'd assume Durarara!!x2 is surviving mostly on Shizaya fans. From what I've heard (and I haven't actually looked this up), first season sales for Durarara!! in Japan were quite good, and x2 sales were midling. I heard around the 3,000 mark per volume.
I haven't seen any episodes yet, but I'm really not seeing the appeal in Prison School. Seems like it could be funny, but I don't know if I'm ready for 'Spite: The Anime'...

School Live being number 1 makes me happy. That show is undisputedly my favourite of all the shows I picked up this season. It's excellent.

I wouldn't be so sure forum culture completely represents a fair cross-section of anime fans in general. There are a few titles at the top of Crunchyroll's popular list, that I've not heard many positive things about. Take Sword Art Online, it's insanely popular, but rarely do you hear anybody say anything positive about it, and one or two that you almost never hear anything about (e.g. Ace of the Diamond).

I assure you that if that is really the case then it is entirely down to the circles you associate with.

The most positive thing I have ever heard about Sword Art Online, was that the second season (unlike the first) "wasn't bad enough to hatewatch"...

That doesn't surprise me, a lot of people have been focussing on the so-called "manservice" element of Gangsta.
The poll comes from one Japanese website; bear in mind that otaku in Japan are absolutely drowned in this kind of opinion poll (they can even fill them in in shops for that particular branch's "Our customers' favourite shows right now!" rankings) so the results will vary wildly depending on the website running it. If a certain show is missing and it seems strange, all it might mean is that the site in question isn't popular with the demographic.
Having said that GANGSTA. being more popular with ladies comes as absolutely no surprise. I held the cover of the manga up to my partner and asked him what gender the creator was; he immediately laughed and said it was obviously written by a woman (despite the creator's not-very-feminine name) with its distinctive art style. He then read it himself and loved it too. Many women love material full of sex and action, I don't know why it would be surprising (it reminds me of when someone misguidedly tried to convince me to get into Ah My Goddess because it was 'girly' - uh, no thanks, it's way too soppy for me).

Today I learned I have more in common with female anime watchers than I do male. Good to know, I guess Then again, considering I haven't even heard of most of these shows goes to show I'm probably out of touch with all anime watchers lol only watching Durarara and Gangsta.
