TexasDice Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 If I remember correctly, MangaGamer didn't anticipate Princess Evangile to be a top seller at all. Their expectations were probably hoovering in the same realm as Harukoi Otome did. I personally blame thank the youtube exposure. Probably also why the fandisk hasn't come out of the backlog yet. Mangagamer had no plans concerning Whappiness, until after unexpected hordes of people started to ask for it a few weeks past release.

Suzu Fanatic Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Setting aside Princess Evangile, that list ahs to be ironic voting - kind of like Steam's voting system. I mean..besides the actual H-scenes, most of that list is terrible. I mean, has anyone ever tried to actually "READ" Imo para, Eorge! or Boob wars? It's like eating broken glass, and then washing out your mouth with gasoline. It's a crime to see KnS2 and Cartagra being neglected as much as they are. At least there are some redeeming factors to the lsit - PE, Higurashi (albiet jsut barely), and Eden. It's also concerning, because it means MG may shy away from Chuuni just when they were starting to explore it, based on those results... When Tokyo Babel and Himawari are my most anticipated titles. =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeruleanGamer Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Shows how narrow minded the Western market is when it comes to visual novels. Slap cute girls with big boobs on them and wham.... you got sales! Thus we are stuck in an infinite loop of too much moeblob and erogeblob.

Down Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 If there's something you can't take from the nukige buying crew, it's that they definitely put their money where their mouths is. Nukige have always sold well for MG, they basically lived on it up until now. So yeah, nukige took a lot of spots in the top, it just means that the market isn't there yet for some types of title to do really well.

Something's going to have to convince them to start translating it first as its spot on the project status page still says "Picked Up" http://blog.mangagamer.org/project-status/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
