Japan Top 10 Weekly Anime Blu-ray and DVD Sales Ranking: November 21 – November 27, 2022

Lycoris Recoil hit another record in terms of copies sold as Volume 3 climbed 13.00% and 7.77% against the performances of Volumes 1 and 2 to see the highest debut the series has seen at a total of 26,422 copies. Although Volume 3 has sold more than the last two volumes, sales are still less than Volume 1 which is priced at 1,000 yen (≈7 USD) higher than the subsequent volumes. In total, Volume 3 has made 182,469,000 yen (≈1.31 million USD) in gross sales including sales of its DVDs. When all debut sales are put together, so far, the series is at a very comfortable 74,321 copies sold with a gross sale of 536,753,000 yen (≈3.85 million USD).

It is quite the positive turnout for Love Live! Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Doukoukai 2nd Season Volume 6 as the volume rose 11.66% and 31.03% against Volume 3 and 5 that made their 3-day sales debuts at 13,488 copies and 11,494 copies. Copies sold however are still down from Volume 1’s 16,731 copies by 9.98%, also in its first 3 days. Despite the growth, its Season 2’s performance has not been as good as Season 1 where most volumes nearly hit the 20,000 mark such as the 19,361 copies sold for Volume 4 in its first 3 days back in March 2021.

Copies sold have slid yet again for Love Live! Superstar!! 2nd Season as Volume 3 reported 7.12% less sales than Volume 2’s 9,009 copies, both in their first 3 days. This also marks the series worst performance among its other volumes with 3 days of sales, particularly those for Season 1 with quite a disparity. For instance, Season 1’s Volume 3 and 6 were at 12,223 copies and 11,679 copies sold respectively in their first 3 days back in November 2021 and February 2022, selling 31.54% and 28.35% more copies each.

IDOLiSH7: Third Beat! makes a return with the release of Part 2’s first volume at a total of 13,320 copies sold (including DVD) in its first 3 days, 5.06% fewer than Part 1’s 2^nd volume. Total gross sales for the latest volume stands at 113,826,000 yen (≈816.87 thousand USD).

When the Regular Edition, Limited Edition and DVD edition are totalled up, copies sold for the film are at 13,978 copies with gross sales at 81,302,283 yen (≈583.10 thousand USD).

Including its DVD, Isekai Meikyuu de Harem wo Blu-ray Box Volume 1 is off to a good start at a total of 4,505 copies with total gross sales hitting 79,308,000 yen (≈568.83 thousand USD). Note that if we include the Blu-ray’s Special Edition, the number would nearly hit the 7,000 mark, which should drive the gross sales much higher considering its price of 36,000 yen (≈258 USD).

Overlord IV Volume 2’s 3,116 copies are indeed lower than Volume 1, however, this is due to its shorter days of sales of which had it sold two days longer, copies sold may have been more than Volume 1’s 3,236 copies. Still, when compared to its past seasons, its latest season’s disc performances are still not as encouraging, particularly against Season 2 and Season 3.

Tiger & Bunny 2 Volume 2 made its debut at 2,268 copies, a small drop of 3.49% against Volume 1’s 2,350 copies back in October.
