Solid week for Anime Blu-ray releases. Love Live! Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Doukoukai‘s Volume 4 slayed its opening week with 19,361 copies sold. While the numbers are slightly down from debut sales made by Volume 3, the series have managed to maintain its debut sales above 19,000 copies. Volume 1 is still the best performer thus far with debut sales amounting to 22,345 copies.
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! You can find all the data available through Oricon by visiting here (Blu-ray) and here (DVD).
Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. Kan‘s Volume 6 is placed 3rd for the week at 8,329 copies sold. The previous volume experienced lower sales when it was charted, but that was sales made prior to its official release. Sales quickly climb back up the following week to see the total 2-week sales for Volume 5 Blu-ray at 9,143 copies. Together with sales of Volume 6’s DVD, we see a handsome 9,797 copies sold for the week.
Sales for IDOLiSH7: Second Beat! fluctuates between 6,000 copies and 8,000 copies. The highest it has ever reached was for the release of Volume 1, which debuted at 8,592 copies sold. Volume 5 sold less than Volume 4 on their debut weeks, but managed a higher number than Volume 3. However, sales of its Volume 5’s DVDs helped to push the number above 8,000 copies. Strike the Blood IV‘s sales are rather consistent as number of copies sold stay above 6,000 copies. Nevertheless, Volume 5’s debut sales are the worse performer among its catalogue thus far.
Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka? Bloom is continuing to see its debut sales slide as Volume 4 reached the lowest it has ever achieved. Sales are down 7.79% debut-to-debut. Volume 1 remains the best seller among all the volumes so far.
Nevertheless, the week features some interesting releases especially Guraburu! coming in 2nd for the week. It debuted strongly at 15,148 copies. Yuru Camp△ Season 2 and SK∞‘s Volume 1 had very decent turnout especially the latter. The sales of SK∞‘s DVDs allow the title to see total copies sold for the week reaching 6,678 copies.
