Princess Connect! Re:Dive once again makes a return to the Oricon sales chart, this time, it is for its 2nd Season placing 1st on the Blu-ray chart at 9,283 copies sold for Volume 1, quite far from the 28,518 copies — by 67.45% — it sold for Season 1’s 1st volume back in August 2020. The two volumes also have different days of sales with Season 1’s at 3 days of sales while Season 2’s is at 6 days. Note that both volumes are priced the same, 11,000 yen (≈USD 90), and it is quite hard to say why the drop happened. The Anime is produced by CygamesPictures (who was also responsible for the 1st season) and recently concluded its Season 2 run on March the 29th. The latest season is expecting two more Blu-ray volumes, slated for releases in the coming months of April and May.
What would be most interesting is Number 2’s Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru making its debut at 8,931 copies sold in the first 5 days! Note that its DVDs are also charted at Number 3 with an additional 1,199 copies sold, putting its total 5-day sales at 10,130 copies. A great start for its disc sales. Then, a spot below is Yu☆Gi☆Oh! Duel Monsters Millennium Scenes at 5,848 copies sold for its Blu-rays. But do not forget the 8,703 copies it sold for its DVD version which would put its total copies sold the highest among all the titles featured for the week at 14,551 copies. With regards to the volume, it contains 25 selected scenes from all the 224 episodes of Yu☆Gi☆Oh! Duel Monsters.
Head over to Number 4 and Kyuuketsuki Sugu Shinu ends its discs run with a great success as it records its best debut performance to date at 5,999 copies (for both Blu-rays and DVDs), 23.27% higher than Volume 2, 24.65% higher than Volume 1, all in their first 5 days. Kyuuketsuki Sugu Shinu is expecting a Season 2, first announced back in December last year with studio Madhouse returning to helm the project.
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).
Kotaro Shono and LINK’s Anime adaptation of their Manga, Shuumatsu no Harem is placed 5th on the list at 2,631 copies sold for its 1st volume in its first 2 days. A rather good turnout despite the short days of sales. Following right after is Visual Prison Volume 4 at a total of 3,123 copies sold for both its Blu-rays and DVDs. The series was experiencing a decline in sales after a strong impression made by its 1st volume, but sales have slightly recovered for Volume 4. Copies sold have improved by 12.65% from Volume 3’s 2,728 copies sold. Note that all sales in the performance graph you see below are in 5 days.
Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou makes its Blu-ray Box debut at Number 7 for the week at 1,759 copies sold while Eighty-Six Volume 7 is 8th on the list at 1,698 copies, 2.94% higher than Volume 6’s 1,648 copies back between February 21 and February 27. While its DVDs did not make onto the chart, its total copies sold including the Blu-rays are close to 2,000 copies in its first 5 days. Jinzou Konchuu Kabutoborg VxV is next at Number 9 with 1,494 copies. Finally, Tsukipro The Animation 2 failed to see it rank on Oricon’s Top 20 Blu-ray sales chart for Volume 5 amid stiff competition from other non-Anime titles. Copies sold are below 1,400 copies for its Blu-rays.
When price is taken into account, a slightly different picture can be seen. Yu☆Gi☆Oh! Duel Monsters Millennium Scenes maintains its lead thanks to its higher copies sold at 104,794,800 yen (≈858.61 thousand USD) in estimated revenue. Despite Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru selling more than Princess Connect! Re:Dive Season 2, the latter is ahead in sales at 102,113,000 yen (≈837.39 thousand USD) due to the heftier price tag. The same can be said for Kyuuketsuki Sugu Shinu Volume 3 which places 3rd on the list at 76,520,000 yen (≈627.46 thousand USD). Nevertheless, Princess Connect! Re:Dive Season 2 and Kyuuketsuki Sugu Shinu have fewer volume releases compared to Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru which will be having six in total. In the long term, it should see stronger sales.
