Another slow week for Blu-rays and DVDs due to lack of new and notable releases between February 7 and February 13. The 2nd volume of Kimetsu no Yaiba Movie: Mugen Ressha-hen TV edition places 1st on both lists at 17,557 copies sold (Blu-ray and DVD) in its first 5 days, 41.80% lower than the 30,167 copies Volume 1 had back between January 24 and January 30. However, the pricier Volume 2 packages put them ahead by 27.84% over Volume 1 in terms of sales at 152,821,000 yen (≈1.32 million USD), but note that the volume contains the rest of the episodes whereas the prior volume encases only Episode 1. The series sequel title, Kimetsu no Yaiba: Yuukaku-hen is slated for its 1st volume release this coming February 23rd after the broadcast ended on February 13. A follow up season was also announced almost right after, and if you missed it out, the announcement video is just right below!
It is thanks to the awesome people over at Oricon that we get to see these charts on a weekly basis, so be sure to head over to their site here and show them lots of love! Plus, all the data you find below is accessible via Oricon right here (Blu-ray) and here (DVD).
There are a couple of new faces that can be seen starting with the pre-release sales of Uchuu Senkan Yamato 2205: Aratanaru Tabidachi Volume 2 which places 3rd at 699 copies sold. Volume 1 did the same back between October 11 and October 17 having made onto the list a month before its official release. Volume 2’s actual release date is on March the 29th. Head over to Number 5 is the 4K HDR Remaster Box of Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV. Unfortunately, it failed to chart on the Top 20. Since the cutoff point is 639 copies, the title will have fewer copies sold than that. Finally at Number 8 is Thunderbirds ARE GO Season 2 Blu-ray BOX Volume 2.
Some of the titles that failed to make onto the list include the Blu-ray Collection of Amaama to Inazuma and the final volume of Sakugan. Without further ado, the full list is as follows:
