Japan Top Weekly Anime Blu-ray and DVD Ranking: November 2, 2020 ~ November 8, 2020

Sales of Anime Blu-rays and DVDs are a little on the downside for the week between November 2 to November 8, other than the complete onslaught of Princess Connect! Re:Dive, which many of you may have already expected, takes the crown for the week. The final volume of the series’ first season sold a hefty 25,107 copies for the week which is a considerable improvement over the debut sales of Volume 2 and 3 which first came out back in August and September. The two sold 24,545 copies and 21,667 copies respectively. Note that, the sales of Volume 1 in its first week is still the highest of them all, selling 28,518 copies. In total, the debut sales of all the volumes of the title are amounted to 96,837 copies alone. And based on data compiled, sales have reached beyond the 100,000 copies mark (or perhaps far beyond).

It is thanks to the amazing folks over at Oricon that we get to see these charts on a daily basis, so be sure to head over to their site here and show them lots of love! The week’s data can be found here (Blu-ray) and here (DVD), more info can be found all the way down this post.

There is not much left to talk about, though I am quite surprise to see Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata Fine’s sudden emergence after weeks of silence. The rest on the list are pretty much Kimetsu no Yaiba. Sales of Anime DVDs… are not good at all for the week. The release of Sword Art Online War of the Underworld’s Volume 7 may provide a boost for the following week’s chart, but the lack of titles may prove to be a challenge.
