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 Top 20 Blu-ray general category chart for the week was 698 copies whereas for DVD, that would be 448 copies. Therefore, any releases you see below, denoted with “N/A” have sold less than the amount stated.
The poor turnout for Anime Blu-rays and DVDs was due to the absence of new releases between January 2 and January 8. New releases for the month, such as One Piece 20th Season piece. 37, Akiba Meido Sensou Volume 1, Kunoichi Tsubaki no Mune no Uchi Volume 7 etc., will only start appearing the following week, between January 9 and January 15, therefore, we should see some new releases making it onto the Top 10 and Top 20 charts at the time.
Without further ado, below are the Top 10 and Top 20 Anime Blu-rays and DVDs for the week:
