Hah. JoJo. As I expected.
Is the one piece anime not popular in japan anymore or something? (i could see why with that ridiculously terrible pacing)
Also jojo… To each his own i guess.
Strange. Zankyou no Terror at #3 when so far only about a dozen people have pre-ordered volume 1. So yes, Aniplex is definitely owned by Sony. In other words, this chart has been made up by the Sony marketing department.
Death 13 ate his poop! JoJo ftw!
