Evangelion better than Michael Jackson?

Characters here are Shinji, Rei, Asuka, and Mari.

Evangelion 2.22 has outsold the dead corpse of Michael Jackson to become the best selling Blu-ray EVAR. I mean seriously, how did Evangelion 2.22 outsold the dead MJ? Amazing!

Oricon statistics show that in its first week the movie’s Blu-ray release sold a magnificent 357,000 copies, the best selling Blu-Ray ever in Japan – the runner up being the zombie prince of pederasty Michael Jackson, with his posthumously released “This Is It” garnering only a pathetic 351,000 copies.

Combined DVD and Blu-Ray sales are already said to have reached 640,000 – the best selling “anime” anime of all time, and the 14th best selling anime ever – only mass market Ghibli and Disney animation boasts higher sales in Japan.
