Spoiler: "Dragon Ball Super: Broly" New Trailer

I do not know what's coolest: The incredible and fluid animation or the theme song of the movie. I mean, damn! It's so lit!

By the way, something I've noticed is the large number of complaints (Usually on Twitter and Facebook) about how each trailer offers more and more spoilers of the movie reaching a point where there is no surprise inside the movie.

Not even games sell more in digital than in retail.

I don't know why he keeps trying to convince himself like this.

Gintama stopped being funny for years, it was just another formalic battle shonen with people yelling abut their ideals while ramming into each other with flashbacks in between the ramming
it went from being my favorite manga of all time to being the manga I read for +70 volumes and can't drop because its so close to the end

I agree that Gintama stopped being funny for years, or maybe I just outgrown it's "comedy", but I still enjoyed everything else, especially the yelling about ideals parts.

this doesn't happen with every game, just some games like Destiny and AC Origins.

Then, do you believe Black Clover sell 90% in digital, and other series like The Promised Neverland and Yaiba sell just 10-20% in digital?

 

[Chuck_Atlas]

Ok can we seriously drop the whole Black Clover debate aside, please? Its getting tiresome reading nothing but pages of it in this thread every week

Then you believe Black Clover sell 90% in digital, and other series like The Promised Neverland and Yaiba sell just 10-20% in digital?

I think most series are selling a not insignificant number of copies digitally and several key series sell more digital than others, BLack Clover seems strongly suggested and highly implied to be in the group that does very meaningful digital sale numbers.

It could be the other way around you know, that Black Clover does not have meaningful volume sales compared to other series.

It could be, but no ones presented any compelling evidence to suggest that that conclusion is actually supported by current market conditions.

For some reason this thread has become an Ace Attorney episode. I'm waiting for someone to shout out "Objection!".

@MangAniMY Congrats, you take home the big prize!!!

 

[xAsum0x]

Is Slime good? I haven’t seen a Light Novel manga adaption in the 10 in a while unless I’m missing something

 

[TyVip]

Shuiesha/Jump is the real winner here

22 out of 25 best volumes sale, 7 out of 10 series in top 10. In other new, water is wet

edit: Slime is good, great casts.

HYPEkyuu! is constant. Pretty gud.

 

[Nemesis]

I was expecting Slime on the top 10 with how much the series adaptation was selling this year even before the anime. Great.

 

[SharkBait]

HYPEkyuu! is constant. Pretty gud.

people saying Haikyuu!! was falling and getting less popular are sweating bullets now

 

[Caiops]

Wtf, Neverland selling that much even without an anime.

What a sucess.

Btw, quite a drop in sales for TG:RE.
