Japan Top Weekly Anime Blu-ray and DVD Ranking: March 8, 2021 ~ March 14, 2021

Got to give lots of credits to World Trigger for having all three of the re-release editions of the Anime that ran from 2014 to 2016 to make onto the Top 10 chart. All three volumes debut above 1,000 copies sold, with total sales reaching 3,382 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 the site here and show them lots of love! Also, the data you find below is all accessible via Oricon right here (Blu-ray) and here (DVD).

The lack of new releases saw only five Anime Blu-rays making Oricon’s Top 20 chart. Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. Kan still retains the number 1 spot, though sales have slipped 33.79% seeing the title’s fifth volume ending the week at 3,642 copies sold. Nevertheless, this is still great as the two-week sales for the volume hits 9,143 copies sold. If it maintains the number of copies sold above 1,000 copies the following week, that should help pushed it beyond the 10,000 copies mark, which seems doable. Following closely behind is Love Live! Nijigasaki Gakuen School Idol Doukoukai, which went up a spot to number 2, however sales are downed by 34.17%.

Interestingly, we see Neon Genesis Evangelion releases making the Top 10 chart, most likely due to the release of Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time. The latest and final theatrical release earned the title ¥1,177,445,400 ($10.78 million) on its first Saturday and Sunday, allowing it to take hold of Japan’s box office number 1 spot (Source: Crunchyroll).

  1. As I was saying the other day, oregairu kan v5 sure did recover quite nicely on the “2nd” week.

    Not sure if it will rank next week (on the free side of things), but either way it’s been selling pretty well consistently.. best selling oregairu season which is impressive

    1. Exactly! I think it may hit 10,000 copies sold if all goes well the following week. But… March 15 to March 21 will be rather tight. It may not rank as you said. That said, it is nice to see that it is able to maintain its numbers! 😁

      1. well with dvd is above 10k 😛

        btw, talking about dvd you have the last week number there, on oricon it’s 600+ units for it.
