Japan Top Weekly Anime Blu-ray and DVD Ranking: February 15, 2021 ~ February 21, 2021

Posted on

Another strong sales posted by Jujutsu Kaisen‘s latest volume, it’s Blu-ray tops the chart with 14,519 copies sold between February 15 to February 21. Note that, the number is a tad bit less than sales generated by Volume 1 back between January 18 to January 24. It sold 14,935 copies at the time. Nevertheless, the series manages to maintain the sales above the 14,000 copies sold mark for its Blu-rays. Together with sales of its DVDs, the title sold 21,271 copies in total for the week! This is a great number indeed. Expect the number of copies sold to fall the following week. We still have five more volumes to go, if it keeps this up, the debut sales alone would push the total of Blu-rays sold above the 150,000 copies sold mark.

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 lots of love! Plus, all the data you find below can be found here (Blu-ray) and here (DVD).

Following closely behind Jujutsu Kaisen at number 2 is Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei: Raihousha-hen‘s Volume 3 which debuted at 5,278 copies sold. Sales are pretty slow for its DVDs despite hitting the jackpot 777 copies sold. In total, sales of its Blu-rays and DVDs stand at 6,055 copies for the week. However, debut sales have been on a decline for the title as of late. Sales of its`DVDs are managing to pump copies sold in its first week to above the 6,000 copies sold mark thus far, but with the current trend, the 4th volume may see the total of copies sold for both Blu-rays and DVDs to dip below the number. Hopefully, numbers can go up or maintain its position.

At number 3, you will find the 5th volume of Haikyuu!!: To the Top, which sold 3,612 copies for the week. The title had a good turnout for its DVDs, settling at number 2 with 2,317 copies sold. As such, it was able to sell 5,929 copies in total. Although the numbers are fewer compared to Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei: Raihousha-hen, the title is seeing an upward trend. It peaked with debut sales of Volume 4 hitting as many as 6,908 copies sold. Sales are down 14.17% debut-to-debut for Volume 5.

Without further ado, the full list is as follows:

      1. Bueno ya confirmado que no habrá 2 temporada con esos números creo yo. ¿De que sirve las buenas críticas si no vende me pregunto?

      2. Well, if revenues from other sources such as streaming or sales of merchandise are good, the chance is still there. There are titles which did not sell well (Blu-ray & DVD), yet still manage to get sequels. You are right though… if reviews are good, but if it doesn’t sell, it’s sad… 😭😭😭 Maybe the masses are not as inclined to like the title as reviewers would expect.

  2. Triste por los fanáticos de dicha serie. Yo sigo esperando la nueva temporada de dbs desde hace 2 años🤣 yo estoy seguro que la sacarán en algún momento.

  3. Se acerca el 35 aniversario del anime de dragon ball estoy con esperanza de algún anuncio 🤗. Pregunta pasa ti ¿En tu opinión cuáles son los animes que les ha ido mal en ventas de Blu Ray?. Veré tu respuesta mañana ya dormiré, buenas noches!

    1. I think Anime Blu-rays that performed poorly would be (at least the ones I could think of right now): Boku no Hero Academia 4th Season, Fugou Keiji: Balance:Unlimited and Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha: Shijou Saikyou no Maou no Shiso, Tensei shite Shison-tachi no Gakkou e. They all had debut sales lower than 2,000 copies.

      And then there’s Kami-tachi ni Hirowareta Otoko… which sold around 600 copies for its debut so far.

      I kind of hope Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai?: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen would manage at least 4,000 copies to 5,000 copies sold for its debut sales, but it somehow hung around 2,000 copies to 3,000 copies sold. Still good, however I thought the title could have sold more. Anyway, good night! 😂😂😂

      4. I think Kaguya-sama is benefiting from other sources of revenue. Perhaps Manga, merchandise and etc. Plus, we still don’t know how well it is performing on a global scale. Let’s keep our hopes up! 😎
