2020 Winter Vol 1 Rankings
Please note: Volume 1 sales are not the best, or even a particularly good, way to evaluate a series’ performance. Sometimes one of two formats doesn’t rank in volume 1, but ranks in a later volume. Often times volume 1 sales are inflated with bonuses like event tickets or bundled manga, etc. Always, always use the average sales when evaluating anime, not volume 1 sales. I only provide these because it takes many months before we have a final average and people like to be able to ballpark a season early on. Just be intelligent about it!

Notes
Partial Ranking means a release came out on more than one video format, but only one of the two ranked.
Season-specific notes
• Domestic na Kanojo’s release is a later BD box. The series was initially released digitally via DMM’s “PlayPic” service. This BD box is the first physical release.
Vol. 1 Unranked, Later Vol. Ranked

I did not expect Magia Record to sell over 8k BD/DVD only. I thought it would at least sell around 20k or something due to Madoka’s popularity. Does that mean no Madoka movie 4? Cuz I’ve heard people (mostly on reddit) stating that a new Madoka project depends on MagiReco sales.
I really really doubt another OG timeline Madoka movie depends on MagiReco video disc sales. They’ve had over six years since the third film to release a fourth movie if they were so inclined, and have not done so. Heck, even *Magireco’s* success does not depend on Magireco video disc sales. It’s a mobage first and foremost, of course.
Anyway, Magireco is an AU spinoff nine years after its original series, so I’m not at all surprised it’s selling a tiny fraction of the original’s numbers.
Honestly I was impressed by the ~9k number. It’s been years since Madoka Magica. The MagiReco mobile game is popular enough but not that huge. 9k is pretty good for a mobage adaptation if its popularity, I mean this isn’t far behind FGO Babylonia’s numbers and FGO is MASSIVE in comparison to MagiReco.
This is off-topic but can you tell disc sales of Kabaneri movie?
The first two films (recaps of the first season) were released as one disc, and sold 1,437. The third film, with new material, sold 4,223.
When Dorohedoro first BD will be released? Did you expect to sell well? Being a netflix exclusive show for now probably not, but who knows…
I don’t track CG shows here, so I haven’t been following it and won’t be posting its data.
Do you know disc sales of KonoSuba movie ? Thanks
Week one sales are 19,382.
I reeally want to see how much ishuzoku reviews have sell, update please!
It comes out on May 27th, so it’s still a ways off. The release dates here are kinda out of date with so many releases getting delayed…
Edit: Okay I’ve updated the release dates now.
Do you have vol.1 of Hoshiai no Sora (Stars Align) released back on February 26th and vol.2 on April 22nd?
No data was ever released. It was an Animate exclusive, and while Animate does report to Oricon, they generally don’t appear to do so when they’re the exclusive retailer for a show.
Railgun T 44072 ?!
Fixed, and updated with third week numbers.
A little mistake for To Aru Kagaku’s sales, right?
How many units did Akira’s BD sell recently in Japan?
8,606 as of its 4th week.
I know you said you wouldn’t be posting Dorohedoro’s Blu-ray numbers, but could you point me to a place where I can see them? I’m really curious.
How many volumes did Vol 1 of Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! sell ?
Sorry, I hadn’t seen the number before.
