There have been some changes to the reporting style here on the Blog. Please refer to the post here for further information.
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). To access the sales data, be sure to click on the “Analytics” accordion and then click “Chart”. This should bring you to the Google chart page that contains the latest available sales data.
Note that the cutoff point on the Blu-ray general chart for the week was 1,196 copies whereas on the DVD chart, that would be 502 copies. As such releases that are denoted with the “N/A” sign did not meet the threshold to place onto the general charts and have therefore sold less than the amount stated.
Without further ado, below are the Top 10 and Top 20 Anime Blu-rays and DVDs for the week:

Bocchi the Rock! is off to an excellent start of 16,793 copies sold including sales of its DVDs that also topped its own respective chart at 1,972 copies, bringing its total gross sales for the week at 115,579,000 yen (≈865.15 thousand USD).
To compare, this is still less than the 30,167 copies sold by Kimetsu no Yaiba Movie: Mugen Ressha-hen (TV)’s 1st volume back in January 2022 in its first 5 days, Kimetsu no Yaiba: Yuukaku-hen’s 1st volume at 22,021 copies back in February 2022 in its first 5 days and Lycoris Recoil Volume 1 at 23,383 copies sold in its first 5 days back in September 2022. But, it still sold higher than some of the Love Live! series releases in 2022 (in their first 5 days) and other titles (by even a larger gap) such as Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Ultra Romantic, World Trigger, Eighty-Six etc.
