Sales of idol related Anime were very popular for the week between December 21 to December 27 with Love Live! Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Doukoukai (comes with English subs) managing a wonderful 22,345 worth of sales made in its first week. Following closely at number 2 is IDOLiSH7: Second Beat! which had a decent outing, 7,603 copies sold while at number 3 is Strike the Blood IV OVA at 6,862 copies. Sales for Strike the Blood IV has been consistent so far, with two more volumes yet to be released, you can count on the rest to produce similar sales.
It is thanks to the amazing folks 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 some love! The data you find below can all be found via Oricon here (Blu-ray) and here (DVD).
That is all for this year folks! No more new releases coming out from 28th of December to 5th of January next year. The next batch of releases should be from the 6th onward. Time flew in the blink of an eye does it not? Take care and stay safe!
