[Hudson King]

How much is that in burger money?

[Jeremiah Jenkins]

It makes me happy to see ARIA in there.

[Jace Morris]

>Aria

crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2016/12/23-1/love-live-va-unit-s-ranks-10th-in-top-selling-artist-of-year-2016
10th Best Artist in 2016.

And keep in mind, μ’s was only active for a few months.

[Isaac Hill]

Aria BDs sold well

[Evan Smith]

According to the current exchange rate, Love Live made 69 million dollars in this still current year.

In other words, you never have to support the anime industry, and never need to listen to anyone who claims that anime is dying. Anime exists to promote and advertise things. Did so 60 years ago, will continue doing that after our deaths.

[Joshua Rodriguez]

12 Monogatari
shaft bankruptcy

[Carson Miller]

Where's kyoani. Their animes is the best!

[Jason King]

>Osomatsu-san above Disney shit
Damn son

[Lucas Moore]

Star Wars has been bad for years. TFA and R1 sucked

[Christian King]

In what world where Shokugeki sold more than Gintama?

[Leo White]

Makes sense, since no film tickets and digital downloads are counted.
Or else, even Kyoto Animation's "A Silent Voice" movie would be included in that chart, since it made 3.3 billion yen.

The fact that a gaijin thing like Star Wars manages to get inside that list with only bluray, novels, manga, music CDs and all that shit speaks volume to the popularity of the franchise.

[Ethan Barnes]

Fuck the first world and their shit taste

[Nathan Cruz]

>Star Wars
If you paid attention, you would've noticed I meant their newest furry shit movie and BD sales.

[Josiah Morris]

they're both shit so who cares

[Easton Allen]

Star Wars was always bad, it has the writing of any shitty anime that's currently airing.

[Andrew Taylor]

Are you talking about Star Wars Rebels and Star Wars Clone Wars?

[Joseph Ramirez]

If that was a joke about those installments being furry shit I wouldn't get it, I never cared about Star Wars beyond the original trilogy.

[Lucas Perry]

You and I are both terrible at jokes and would be such lousy comedians, we'd both get booed away from the stage.

[Jacob Baker]

>generic sameface Idolshit
Anime might not be dead, but anime is dead

[Mason Russell]

>19 My Hero Academia 2,596,513,416
Wasn't expecting that

[Oliver Nguyen]

Why wouldn't you? It's a popular manga series and has tons of merchandise.

[Ian Garcia]

Merchandise isn't counted in here.

[Nathan Bell]

>KonoSuba
>58,802

Wow.

[Henry Thomas]

I do count BDs and music CDs as merchandise.
And of course, most of the sales for MHA are from the manga itself, which is counted in that list.

[John Bailey]

>1 Love Live! 8,048,798,040
>2 One Piece 6,656,539,884
>Oda: "I not only must defeat the Precure, but I must defeat the Love Live."
>16 The Seven Deadly Sins
Huh, glad to see this is still fairly popular in Japan, shame that Netflix killed it's chances in murrica and the anime is still a mess
>18 Kamen RiderSeries 2,668,416,616
I thought EX-Aids was killing the series?
>19 My Hero Academia 2,596,513,416
>20 One-Punch Man 2,005,169,078
>Fake beats the Original.
Fucking Mongrels. Speaking of, Fate didn't chart at all? Type-Moon IS DEEEEAAAAAD

[Samuel Russell]

>Fake beats the Original.

[Lucas Morris]

>>Fake beats the Original.
What does this mean?

[James Rivera]

>Osomatsu sells more than disneyshit
>sells just a little less than a 20 year old franchise
>with a 70s show and 2 seasons of 2016 anime

S2 WHEN

[Jack Hall]

Deku is a poor imitation of Saitama, except played straight. Which is super generic because 'Super Strength' is stupidly bland and overdone.
Saitama at least has the leverage of being so super strong it's parody.

[Nathan Rogers]

fuck japan and it's shit taste ! where is evangelion ? wasn't evangelion the best selling anime in japan ? also does one piece anime sell well?

[Brayden Bell]

>saitama
>not played straight
>OPM
>even trying to be a parody
typical OPM fanboy retard
