Japan Top Weekly Anime Blu-ray and DVD Ranking: October 25, 2021 ~ October 31, 2021

The final week of October recovers from the slowdown it faced the week before with yet another strong sales posted by films. Back between October 11 to October 17, it was Violet Evergarden Movie that impressed and it still is for the week’s chart seeing better copies sold week-on-week. This time the chart is led by Detective Conan‘s latest film, The Scarlet Bullet which reports a stronger outcome than copies sold made for its previous film The Fist of Blue Sapphire. The new film marks an overall improvement of 25.46% over the last film to see a total of 53,101 copies sold (including its DVDs), both of which had 5 days of sales.

It is thanks to the amazing people 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 is accessible via Oricon right here (Blu-ray) and here (DVD). Note that if you are more comfortable with Google charts, I have left the links to the respective charts all the way down below.

As for others, Love Live! Superstar!! Volume 2 records fewer copies sold than its Volume 1, understandable since the 1st volume went on sale a day longer when charted. It follows tightly at Number 2 at 12,994 copies sold. Vivy: Fluorite Eye’s Song Volume 5 which comes in 4th fell slightly debut-to-debut by 2.16% compared to its 4th volume to see 3,627 copies sold. Note that it is set to receive its final volume this coming November the 24th. It may see a rebound in copies sold then.

Inu to Neko Docchi mo Katteru to Mainichi Tanoshii is 5th for the week at 3,441 copies sold and the Blu-ray package contains all 24 episodes of the Anime. At Number 8, you will find RWBY Volume 7 with 2,331 copies sold, a small drop from Volume 6‘s 2,501 copies. The same is to be said for Number 9’s Mahouka Koukou no Yuutousei Volume 2, which experiences a minute fall in number of copies sold from its 1st volume by 3.52% to 2,110 copies. 86‘s 4th volume comes in 10th and could not place onto the Top 20 amid fierce competition from other non-Anime titles. Note that the cutoff on the Blu-ray Top 20 chart is 2,073 copies, as such it has sold below that amount.

In terms of revenue, with the highest number of copies sold, Detective Conan Movie: The Scarlet Bullet witnesses a great 359,700,500 yen (≈3.15 million USD) worth of sales for the week. It is followed by Love Live! Superstar!! Volume 2 at 90,958,000 yen (≈797 thousand USD) and Violet Evergarden Movie at 68,206,400 yen (≈598 thousand USD), thanks to the higher number of copies sold it makes which amounts to 7,152 copies.

  1. well well well, what do we have here! 🙂 86 finally came in to top 10, well just as I thought part 2 of the Anime is more action paced and people find that more amusing, hence more sales, It didn’t sell more than 2000 I guess Since you mentioned it wasn’t In top 20 of Bluray and all that stuff but It Seems it sold better that 3 previous volumes. yes I know some animes are not in chart anymore but still something tell me it sold better.

    1. You are indeed right. It did sell better than its previous volumes, hence closing the 1st cour on a good note. The 2nd cour will start selling this December, and if all goes well, hopefully we could see an increase in debut-to-debut sales.

  2. Tengo una duda, Love Live Superstar vendió más de 15 mil en su primera semana pero oricon registro otra cosa

    1. Hi! Oh, could you tell me where you got the info? I would like to double check the information, and perhaps put up an update here.

  3. Tengo una duda, Love Live superstar vendió más de 15mil en su primera semana y eso que se lanzó el 27 de octubre hasta el 2 de noviembre, me imagino que oricon registro eso pero yo vi que tiene 12,994 y a partir del 1 al 7 de noviembre solo como 1,5mil, no me da 15mil, me informaría cuanto vendio en total??

    1. Hi! I understand now. If you add all the sales from October 25 to November 14, then cumulative sales for the volume should be around 15,000 copies sold. Between October 25 to November 1, I have checked Oricon again, and the number is correct.
