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.
Please note that Oricon’s daily surveys do not cover all stores in Japan, so some data may be missing from the list below. To view a list of stores that participate in the surveys, please refer to the link provided here. For a better understanding of Oricon, you may consider reading the articles posted here. I manually counted the number of stores included in the list below, but please be aware that there may be some mistakes. Additionally, not all stores are listed on the official websites.
The cutoff point for Oricon’s Top 20 general list for the week was 2,087 copies for Blu-ray and 132 copies for DVD. Therefore, any releases marked as “N/A” have sold fewer copies than the cutoff amount.
Without further ado, below are the Top 10 and Top 20 Anime Blu-rays and DVDs for the week:

Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: Die Neue These was last seen with Volume 9 on the Top 10 list back between September 26 and October 2, 2022. It failed to chart for Volume 10 as it did not meet the threshold to place on the Top 10 list the week of its release.
