Also, I still want to see concrete numbers just for my own edification. If it's coming from a place like TV Tropes, I'd take it with a grain of salt.

Also this. Gaim seems to be a victim of its own success in that case.

Yeah, that's kind of what I was hoping for - numbers to back up her claims.

And that's precisely why I included the part about "westerners" before. I know tastes can be different, and if past seasons are anything to go by, can easily be 100% opposites, so I was taking that into consideration as possible rationale for why it did "bad." Despite, again, how insane sales were at the start. I know they dropped off, like any show would really, but was it really that badly?
