Japan Top Weekly Anime Blu-ray and DVD Ranking: September 28, 2020 ~ October 4, 2020

While sales of Anime for the week between September 28 to October 4 still maintains a heavy presence, not all ten made into the Top 20 Blu-ray chart for the week. Yet, sales are quite promising with Princess Connect! Re:Dive refusing to let up. The title is relentless at pushing the number of copies sold with another 20,000 plus copies sold for a new volume in its first week. Volume 3 performed slightly better than volume 2 in its debut week, 21,667 copies sold. That should put the title at 82,134 copies sold so far based on the numbers we are tracking. It could have already passed beyond the 90,000 copies sold mark at the time of writing (since we are missing some sales data).

Remember! The chart you see below is thanks to the amazing folks at Oricon, so be sure to pay them a visit here and show them lots of love! Besides, the sources for the data below can be accessed through the links here (Blu-ray) and here (DVD).

Sales are pretty much down for titles that made the previous chart, quite a common phenomenon, nevertheless the numbers are most welcomed. Kaguya-sama: Love is War is still having a hard time breaching the 3,000 copies sold mark (the last time it did was in June). Sales of Anime DVDs are pretty much a blunder for the week. Without further ado, the full list is as follows:
