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 Oricon does not track all stores in Japan and some data is missing from the list you see below. To check which stores participate in Oricon’s daily surveys, please refer to the list right here. If you wish to further strengthen your understanding about Oricon, you may consider reading the articles posted here.
The cutoff point on the Blu-ray general category chart for the week was 895 copies while on the DVD chart, that would be 310 copies. Therefore, any releases denoted with “N/A” did not meet the threshold to place on the charts mentioned and have sold less than the amount stated.
Due to a lack of notable and new releases for the week, the general performance of Anime titles are on the low side with new releases that made onto the chart the week before were still able to retain their momentum, albeit with less intensity. The following week would see a similar result, though perhaps even weaker than what we see between January 30 and February 5 amid very few new releases that would hit shelves in Japan between February 6 and February 12. The situation may also persist between the week of February 13 and February 19 and is expected to recover the week after thanks to popular releases such as Bocchi the Rock! and Lycoris Recoil making their newest volumes’ entrances.
Without further ado, below are the Top 10 and Top 20 Anime Blu-rays and DVDs for the week:
