Sword Art Online: Progressive Movie – Hoshi Naki Yoru no Aria [Limited Edition] maintains its Number 1 spot as it heads into its second week on the chart with a total of 2,524 copies sold, putting its 10-day sales at 30,825 copies while its equivalent DVD version, plus its Regular Editions all failed to chart on the Top 20 general category. If we are to compare Hoshi Naki Yoru no Aria’s performance against some of its other releases, it is clearly far from the likes of Ordinal Scale, which had a spectacular 12-day sales at a total of 134,730 copies sold. War of Underworld also sees itself at a much higher position at 78,715 copies sold based on available data. Note that, I only have the full 12-day sales of Ordinal Sales and Extra Edition whereas War of Underworld (around 12-day sales for each volume) and Hoshi Naki Yoru no Aria are missing some date (amid failing to chart on the Top 20 general category for some of their Blu-ray and DVD copies). As such, copies sold you see in the graph for the two titles should be slightly higher.
It is thanks to the wonderful 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).
Interestingly, some past titles have made a return onto the chart such as Evangelion: 3.333 You Can (Not) Redo, Pui Pui Molcar and Uma Musume: Pretty Derby (TV) Season 2. I am not exactly sure of the reasons since I do not track the stocks for these releases, but the comeback could be due to a restock or some kind of promotional events that occurred during the week.
There is only one new release that made it onto the Top 10 Anime Blu-ray chart for the week as opposed to three on the DVD chart. Blue Thermal can be found 5th on the Blu-ray chart while its DVD edition shares the 10th spot along with Paw Patrol Season 4: Adventure Bay no Omatsuri. Unfortunately, copies sold are too low for the film to rank in the Top 20 general category. Note the cutoff point for the general category for the week is 889 copies for Blu-ray and 531 copies for DVD. Therefore, its copies sold would be lower than those numbers. Oshiri Tantei Shiriarty tops the DVD chart at 593 copies sold, and at Number 19 is Shimajirou to Kirakira Oukoku no Ouji-sama. Without further ado, the full list is as follows:
