Sales of Anime Blu-rays for the week between August 17 to August 23 have certainly gotten better on a week-to-week basis as more titles were released on August the 19th. Titles which came out that week dominate the chart with Haikyuu!!: To the Top Vol. 3, at the top with 2,939 copies sold. Though the number may seem small, lest we forget that the title also performed quite well in the DVD department. There, it also claimed the number 1 spot with 1,821 copies sold. Together, the series sold an encouraging 4,760 copies for the week.
It is thanks to the wonderful folks over at Oricon that we get to see these charts every week. So, be sure to head over to their site here and show them lots of love! This week’s data for Blu-rays can be found here and DVD here.
Following closely behind Haikyuu!! is 22/7, selling close to 2,000 copies that week. At number 3, and still going steady is Princess Connect! Re:Dive which had a splendid debut back in the first week of August (it sold 28,518 copies in its first week). Though the number has somewhat lessen, the series performed amazingly. We should keep a close watch on the title with its impending volume 2 release this September. Surprisingly, at number 10, you will find Fate/stay night Movie: Heaven’s Feel – II. Lost Butterfly which crawl out from nowhere to claim the 10th spot. All in all, the Anime titles this time around performed well. As such we could get the full data of the Top 10.
