Japan Top 10 Weekly Anime Blu-ray and DVD Ranking: June 20, 2022 ~ June 26, 2022

Love Live! has once again showcased its prowess in the disc sales department, and that it is a force to be reckoned with, this time with the 2^nd season of Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Doukoukai sitting atop at 16,731 copies sold in its first 3 days. To compare, Love Live! Superstar!! which was aired between July 11 and October 17 of last year saw its 1^st volume at 14,514 copies sold in its first 6 days. Nevertheless, its sales performance was still very impressive as it consistently hit above 10,000 copies sold for all its volumes in their first few days with lifetime sales easily to have hit 90,000 copies as of the time of writing. A short commercial was also released to promote the Blu-rays of Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Doukoukai Season 2 of which you can check out below.

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).

Koukyoushihen Eureka Seven Hi-Evolution coming in 2^nd with its Limited Edition copies is at 3,117 on the Blu-ray chart. Note that this would encase the final film of the trilogy only. The Regular Edition is also featured on both Anime Blu-ray and DVD charts, but they failed to make onto the general charts for the two categories. A short commercial was also released for the volume in March this year of which you can watch below.

The chart for the week also sees a number of re-releases of past titles such as Overlord I II III Blu-ray Box which comes in 3^rd, selling at a hefty price of 52,000 yen (≈381 USD), that said, the package will contain all episodes of Seasons 1 to 3, which can be seen as a good bargain for some people. It sold 1,298 copies in its first 3 days. Shirokuma Café is 8^th on the list while Shin Ikkitousen is 9^th, both in their first 3 days, but both failed to chart on the Top 20.

Others on the list include the Fruits Basket: Prelude at Number 3 with 2,914 copies sold in its first 3 days, World Trigger 3rd Season’s 2^nd volume is right below it at 1,939 copies while Sasaki to Miyano makes its final volume debut at 1,170 copies for its Blu-ray edition, and its DVD copies at 717 pushes up its total copies sold in its first 3 days to 1,887. Certainly its best performance to date considering its Blu-rays have so far failed to hit the Top 20 charts for the general category for its past three volumes. On the Anime DVD chart, other than Sasaki to Miyano Volume 4, One Piece Log Collection “Wano Country” hits off to a good start as it charts first on the list at 3,193 copies sold in its first 3 days.

In terms of copies sold, the standings remain relatively the same, but when price of each volume is considered, we get a much different outcome. Love Live! Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Doukoukai 2nd Season Volume 1 retains its lead at 75,289,500 yen (≈551.27 thousand USD) amid strong copies sold, however, due to its low price, Overlord I II III Blu-ray Box manages to narrow the gap at 67,496,000 yen (≈494.75 thousand USD) as it places 2^nd. One Piece Log Collection “Wano Country” is 3^rd at 31,930,000 yen (≈233.96 thousand USD) a better outcome compared to Koukyoushihen Eureka Seven Hi-Evolution‘s Limited Edition due to its slightly higher number of copies sold, note that both have a 10,000 yen (≈73 USD) price tag. Still, if we include Eureka Seven’s other editions together, it will definitely come out on top.

For distributors or labels whose titles made it onto the general charts, we have Bandai Namco Filmworks accounts to 38.7% of total sales at 106,459,500 yen (≈779.71 thousand yen) whereas Showgate and avex pictures are 2^nd and 3^rd respectively at 67,496,000 yen (≈494.34 thousand USD) and 58,156,000 yen (≈425.94 thousand yen). Note that actual revenue will be much higher than the amount stated.
