Japan Top 10 Weekly Anime Blu-ray and DVD Sales Ranking: December 5 – December 11, 2022

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 for both Blu-ray and DVD general category charts are at 1,848 copies and 806 copies respectively. Therefore, releases that are denoted with “N/A” down below failed to meet the threshold to place in the two charts.

Anime Blu-rays in particular for the week faced stiff competition from their non-Anime counterparts, hence, the lack of releases in the general charts. Note that, as for Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, the Limited Edition that comes with an acrylic block (picture below) is also included in Oricon’s daily survey for the film. However, copies sold for the bundle are too low (below 1,000) to allow them to place on either of the Blu-ray or DVD general charts.

The Acrylic Block bundle that comes together with one of Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero’s Limited Edition releases.

Without further ado, below are the Top 10 and Top 20 Anime Blu-rays and DVDs for the week:
