Note: Gross sales in yen are calculated using the MSRP without sales tax as of April 8, 2014. So you may see some numbers dropped, but given the tax rate change in April 2014, I had to convert everything to pre-tax for fairness.
Note: Air is 23,761 if you include Air in Summer. I tend not to add specials if not released in the same volume as core series episodes, though these did air on TV. Could go either way.
Note: Both iDOLM@STER seasons are a tally of the standalone DVD/BDs plus the Gravure For You game+BD bundles. For season one, Vol. 1 came with the full PS3 game which sold 80-100k, which cannot realistically be counted all as anime sales, sales are being calculated as follows: Vol. 1-9 standalone DVD avg + Vol. 1-9 standalone BD avg + Vol. 2-9 G4U bundle avg. Cinderella Girls is just standalone avg + G4U avg.
Note: Code Geass (season 1) tally no longer includes a 5,185 BD average (v1-4, v5-9 did not rank as only yearly lists were available for BDs back then and they didn’t make the cut). The BDs were not released simultaneously with the DVD release, as BDs weren’t very common at the time. Individual BD volumes matching the DVD release were released starting 11 months after the last DVD volume. Before, I included it the BDs in the total because it seemed like an outlier, but now that I have a column for re-release sales, I think it’s more appropriate to put it there. This also aligns with how other sites count the series.

Full list for 2017 where?
Not sure what you’re asking for. Full list of what?
Anime sales
JESUS XD WTF AM I TALKING ABOUT.
I was talking about the full year list which supposed to be out on January.
https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1699889
Oh, it’s already out. Sorry.
It was just a few posts down on the first page: https://www.someanithing.com/8798
Osomatsu S2 is missing from here.
I was waiting until it was done so we could be sure it’ll hit 10k or not, but yeah it’s time to add it now. I’ll do it this weekend when I update all the rankings.
the breakdown by studio says “year” instead of “name/studio”. just wanted to point that out in case you missed it.
Fixed, thanks.
Shouldn’t Sword Art Online: Alicization be on this list? All 8 volumes are over 10,000 on your 2018 Total Sales by Volume list. Also the breakdown by year for 2018 should have 6 or 7 (depending on my above query) entries not 5.
Also thanks for continuing to do these since it still gives some incite to what’s actually popular among the hardcore rather than just what has big advertising/promotion budgets.
Ah thanks for the heads up. I tend to wait until late in a series’ release schedule to add them, to be sure they’ll pass 10k, but forgot about this one. Adding it now, along with some 2019 updates.
Hello I believe Granblue Fantasy The Animation Season 2 needs to be swapped with Fate/Grand Order: Zettai Majuu Sensen Babylonia since Fate hasn’t sold 10,000 average on your per volume list.
Granblue s2’s average is currently 14,845. I just haven’t added it here yet since it’s still being released (also because I forgot to), though obviously it’ll average over 10k in the end.
As for Fate Babylonia… well the short answer is that you’re correct it didn’t actually average 10k (so I’ll fix that shortly), though it’s for a different reason.
Basically, Oricon releases, in addition to its normal weekly rankings, a list of best selling discs by series (twice a year). So for example it said Babylonia sold 39,077 discs during the period that covered v1wk1 to v4wk2. But all the available data we had from that time period from the weekly Oricon reports (and some NewType monthly rankings) only added up to 36,925. That meant there were 2,152 discs unaccounted for in that period (from weeks where v1-3 made sales, but were below Oricon’s thresholds to be reported weekly). All we know is that there’s 2.1k discs missing, we don’t know how much of that was for vol 1, or vol 2, or vol 3 (since the period ended at vol 4’s second week and we have vol 4 weekly data for both weeks, the missing discs would be from v1-3). So this means you’ll see a discrepancy between the volume totals and the series average, for series that get data added via the per-series rankings.
The issue, however, is that for some reason I had Babylonia’s additional discs recorded as 4,132 rather than 2,152, for reasons I don’t recall. Probably just typo’d something into the calculator, or copy/pasted from elsewhere and didn’t update. That means its average is really 9,608 when all is said and done. This is higher than the pure average of its individual volumes (which is 9,177 if you go by the per-volume page), but not the 10k it’d be if the addition were 4.1k.
Anyway, maybe that was convoluted, but thanks for asking since it got me to go double-check and catch a different error. I’ll also go ahead and just add Granblue s2 to the 10k list now so I don’t forget later.
Thanks for the in-depth response.
