Weekly anime roundup – Autumn 2014 week 7

Quite a lot of series that I didn’t get around to watching this past week due to mainly focusing on those series that I was way behind on, and indeed did manage to get everything up to at least episode 5. I also managed to fall behind a bit again. That’s likely the last time that is going to happen this season, though.

English and Japanese Light Novel releases for week commencing 10th November 2014

Another fairly small week this week. DanMachi manages to have both the top two spots by popularity on amazon this week. Inou-Battle volume 9 comes out this week, so we’ll see if its anime boost is enough to give us sales figures for it for the first time. Unlike the other three LN series getting their first anime adaptations this season, we haven’t seen any data for this one yet (although it would be quite surprising if we had).
Then again, with this being a second slow week in a row, getting on the rankings might prove rather easier than usual.
