Sales of Anime Blu-rays were on a roll the past two weeks, but they have finally settled down the second week of June with only six out of ten titles making into the Top 20 Blu-rays sold in Japan. To compare, the period between May 25 to May 31 and June 1 to June 7 saw Anime titles occupying 15 and 11 spots respectively.
Despite the less number of titles making into the charts between June 8 to June 14, sales of Frozen II and Tenki no Ko are still going strong in Japan. However, sales are slowly declining for the two with Tenki no Ko’s Standard Edition falling the hardest.
It is all thanks to Oricon that we get to see these charts on a weekly basis, so be sure to head over to Oricon here and show them your support! For the full Top 10 Anime Blu-ray chart, it can be found here.
Apart from that, the week’s chart saw a number of new faces, though you may want to shift your focus to CloverWorks’ theatrical Anime released back in October 2019, Sora no Aosa wo Shiru Hito yo. Both of its Limited and Standard Editions debuted in the week’s chart with the two selling a total of 7,200 copies. Sales of its DVDs are… rather appalling. It sold around 860 copies in that department, at the same time the number of Limited Edition copies sold is unknown. It can be roughly estimated that it sold more than 8,200 copies for the week.

Something you may want to take note of, Oricon listed two number eights on the first page of its Anime DVD weekly ranking. I decided to maintain the positions as they are. However, it can be strongly assumed that ONE PIECE is at 8 while The Boss Baby is at 9.

Another one is on the second page of the DVD ranking. It listed two number twenties. Like the above, I decided to maintain the positions as they are. Though, for this, I am unsure if they are sitting at either the same position or number 20 and 21 respectively.

I shall make the fixes once Oricon has done with the edits (hopefully). In the meantime, if you find any faults with the list, do let me know! Also, if you have any thoughts you would like to share, do so in the comment section below.
