Than say so in the first place.. because you know you say (and that's WAY before the anime is announced...) what do you think people will assume you're talking about than? What was the point of saying that when you're talking about Ko no Light Novel ga Sugoi! rankings? Anime has no bearing on how good light novels are....

I mean, even though the sales are not that bad for a LN (any time you get pass 100k it's pretty good), bestseller? Latest Haruhi sells 400k...hack, Oreimo Vol. 8 sells around 200k...
The sales are very good for a VN

Japan's Light Novels Rankings for 1st Half of Fiscal 2011

Volume by volume (copies)
*1, 962,495 Moshidora
*2. 240,443 One Piece Strong Words vol.1
*3, 223,124 Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu vol.9
*4, 206,086 Toaru Majutsu no Index: New Testament vol.1
*5, 205,326 Kabukimonogatari
*6, 180,408 Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai vol.8
*7, 178,077 Hanamonogatari
*8, 171,476 IS: Infinite Stratos vol.6
*9, 168,478 Durarara!! vol.9
10, 162,836 IS: Infinite Stratos vol.7
11, 152,939 Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai vol.5
12, 151,910 IS: Infinite Stratos vol.1
13, 145,523 IS: Infinite Stratos vol.2
14, 143,478 Gintama Kaettekita 3 nen Z gumi Ginpachi Sensei Returns
15, 140,817 IS: Infinite Stratos vol.3

As you can see Hagani is the only one on that list without an anime to help promote it. And Baka, Index, Monogatari, Ore No, IS and DRRs sales prior to the anime where nowhere near as good as Hagani's is now.

Was he actually serious? Because if he's anything like fighting game producers (Ono, Harada, Dashi) he's a damn troll on twitter lol.
