General Anime/Manga/Otaku Thread

[RepentantSky]

As if it's well known, it's literally the highest selling anime of the 21st century.

Is that propaganda talk or is that true, because I haven't heard of it ever, then again I'm not the master or manga.

No, this is true.

These are the highest selling anime of the 21st century. You also have to remember that Monogatari is currently on going with the second season airing weekly, so the numbers will only rise more. A bit outdated, but -

(2009) *78,671 Bakemonogatari [Shaft]
(2011) *71,056 Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica [Shaft]
(2004) *68,732 Kidou Senshi Gundam Seed Destiny [Sunrise]
(2006) *61,633 Usavich [Kanaban]
(2012) *60,580 Nisemonogatari [Shaft]
(2002) *58,589 Kidou Senshi Gundam Seed [Sunrise]
(2007) *53,230 Usavich 2 [Kanaban]
(2011) *52,133 Fate/Zero [ufotable]
(2008) *52,016 Usavich 3 [Kanaban]
(2008) *46,147 Macross F [Satelight]
(2012) *45,804 Fate/Zero 2nd season [ufotable]
(2006) *45,367 Code Geass [Sunrise]
(2011) *44,544 Usavich 4 [Kanaban]
(2009) *43,883 K-on! [KyoAni]
(2008) *42,690 Code Geass R2 [Sunrise]
(2006) *42,525 Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu [KyoAni]
(2010) *39,385 K-on!! [KyoAni]

That list actually surprises me quite a lot. Not one of the big three are on it and only a few the more common anime's people talk about are there, and they rank low, accept Magica, which is in my opinion, fairly overrated.
