Which you should probably removed since thats against forum rules.

But damn Sena is <3 good reason why she's my number 1 girl...altho there are many reasons why thats so.

That blue bikini image is epic!

Well, the hair has improved.

Suzuku · 2011-06-28, 08:56

Was just about to post that. I'd say more than the hair has improved, the overall feel is closer to Buriki. I'd go as far as to say this is better than Nishida's work, since I'm not too fond of the..."cut out" appearance of her designs, so to speak.

EDIT: Actually...if they could just improve the coloring/lighting on the characters' hair and eyes and add a bit more detail to the hair it would be perfect.

The MEAT!!!! It's showing and gives more impression. Even Yozora provide fan service.

i think we gotta wait for a pv to judge images usually have better ligthing shadowing than the animation, but this probably will be great either way.

Personally don't trust those media releases since companies always talk in shipped and not sold. MFI say that Aria has also sold 2 million copies prior to the anime and looking @ Oricon figures it needed the anime to hit the 1 million mark....

Likewise if Hagani Vol 5 tops out @ 150,000 there's no way that vols 1-4 sold 1.85 million combined.

Nevertheless Hagani is the best selling light novel series prior to receiving an anime and will definitely go into the #2 spot behind Haruhi even if it's only a minor hit. If it's as big as say Haruhi than who knows...

They're equally valid indicators, IMO, as long as you don't mix and match numbers.

Unless this has recently changed, the problem with Oricon numbers (and any sales tracking service) is that they're extrapolations. They record point of sales data from participating outlets (I once heard that Oricon covers 30% of retailers; some major chains don't provide data) and extrapolate the trend for a nationwide estimate. There's no way of knowing how accurate the predictions are, but they give a reasonable indication of how well one title performs against another.

With video games, we get sales figures from Enterbrain, Dengeki, and Media Create. Sometimes there's close agreement in numbers between trackers, but at other times, there are considerable differences. Again, we get a decent picture of relative performance if we compare Enterbrain numbers with other Enterbrain numbers, Media Create with Media Create, etc.

Shipment numbers are probably more accurate than any sales tracking (and they definitely indicate relative popularity) because they come straight from publishers. However, the caveat is that they don't tell us how many copies have reached the hands of consumers.

I think it's safe to assume it will air no later than this Fall with scans already popping up.

Suzuku · 2011-06-30, 06:42

It's definitely airing in fall, very little doubt about that. It's the MF Bunko x TBS project that will replace Mayo Chiki after the summer.

@Suzuku yeah i agree with you.. unless they'll surprise us

Mizuno · 2011-06-30, 07:18

If they air Ben-To as well, this will be the best Fall ever. But this is already really good as it is.

tsunade666 · 2011-06-30, 09:50

Yozora gives away many fan service which is unexpected knowing her. I expect more from Sena.

The lastest illustrations do look better than the first visual.

The new visuals are getting me excited for fall! Which is unusual considering the fact that summer break ends and school begins.
