Fate is dang good, no surprise there. Between all the recent shows, all the spin-off manga, and figures, it was a shoo-in.
Also really happy to see Digimon so high; it sometimes feels underrepresented. News of Tri and the recent video game must have helped!

Okay....why is this particularly worth mentioning for this specific month? What about other months then as this feature does go back a ways? Is this going to be a new feature or something or is ANN just trying to make a quota by fishing Yaraon for random tidbits of interest related news cause it looks like the latter in this case as it has for a while now with certain articles?
Futhermore where's the tidbit of information pointing out that the previous 2 months Fate couldn't even make the top 20, but that other franchises for this month that's on there. I get the need to constantly push, promote, hype and celebrate the Fate franchise of late, but it's kind of getting a little tiresome now with news tidbits clearly being centered around very thinly veiled promotions of certain titles and products (it does not go unnoticed that the article writer made sure to not only plug but directly link to where one can buy the product as it pertains to Fate which wasn't in the original Yaraon article, but none of the other titles mentioned in the list), particularly for certain sponsors of the site. Like if one wants to put this under the interest label (I'd almost be tempted to suggest putting it under advertisement) fine, but this doesn't really strike me as important "news" in the sense that something like the articles immediately following it does.

The only answer is that nasu is slipping ANN money.

There's a mistake in the English novel booklet for the Unlimited Blade Works Blu-ray set. Should be 50 pages of content but stops at page 35. Other than that it's a great set!

Wow dude you're mad as hell.
The interesting thing is that such an uknown franchise as Fate is at top #1, because let's be real: nobody knows Fate in japan besides otaku. It is common to see One Piece or any other Shonen Jump franchise at top #1 along with other Light Novel crap stuff, but Fate? That's neat.

anime series, anime series, and then at the very bottom suddenly 24 starring Kiefer Suderland. Though the only one of these franchise I care about is Kancolle. Nice to see it up there.

And this is all thanks to Ufotable. The previous iterations (or should I say attempts?) from the Fate series never made it this high, that should tell you something.

How can it be unknown if people never shut up about it and a company is blitzkrieg advertising the crap out of it?
