How the hell does Girls und Panzer still sell this much. Weird thing is I don't ever hear people talking about it either - did this even get licensed?

All female or all male cast really take the top... I am kinda sad by this.

There are definitely certain sections of the English-speaking internet that love to talk about Girls und Panzer, but ANN is not one of them. Plus even though Finale has such long waits between releases, there are still a ton of GuP manga and other ancillary material to keep the fandom going.

Das Finale is not licensed, and it likely will not be until the last episode is released so Sentai/whoever can sell it as a collection.

Cute girls and war games make an interesting combination. You got military otaku and anime otaku coming together.

Yay~! So glad to see Maji Love Kingdom do so well! Not a huge surprise, but still glad for it. I hope the DVD release does well enough here too. (Maybe Broccoli will finally acknowledge us!)

Aren't only two of those titles an all-same gender cast? And at least with UtaPri, it's a franchise that's decently old now, still huge and it's been more geared at being mostly the guys recently, but it sometimes does a good job of focusing on the female lead (and her friend, when we see her).

3 titles : Senki Zesshō Symphogear, Uta no Prince, girls and Panzers...

And 3 of them are based on Animes..

the other 2 (not counting disney's) are stand alone movies.
