Anime DVD/BD Sales in Japan

See here for the 2016 Mid-year ranking.

 
2016 Full-year Ranking by Volume
• This covers the week of 2015/12/14 (12/28付) through the week of 2016/12/05 (12/19付).
• If the release is one I track, the amounts added over the last known number in parentheses.
• (n/a) means we have data that is more recent than or equal to what the yearly list has as of its cutoff, so there’s either nothing to add, or the current number is higher than the one listed here.
• The first number is the ranking among all discs, the second is within the Animation category.
• Some of the additions below have zero affect on the series’ average, because the additions were already accounted for in the per-series mid-year ranking. For example, Konosuba had total 1797 discs added in the per-series ranking. So the fact that v1 added 681 below isn’t new data, it’s just informing us about which volume 681 of those 1797 discs came from. Thus, zero change to the average, because all it does is adjust 1797 down to 1116. Then down to 267 after subtracting v2-3’s gains. That means 267 must come from v1-3 DVDs. Meanwhile, the additions to v4-5 are new additions to the average because those were not included in the mid-year per-series list. This mess is the downside of using non-volume-specific data like the per-series rankings. You have to be extremely careful to not double-count additions from multiple sources!

* Note: B-Project v1 formerly had some data added to it from the per-series ranking. because the total here is equal to the three weeks it ranked in the top 100, I’ve shifted the per-series additions all over to BD because it apparently didn’t rank on DVD again.
§ Note: Phantasy Star Online 2 the Animation v5 RE DVD doesn’t require a caveat, I just want to point out how hilarious it is. In the top 100 it ranked once, selling 2,280. Looking at Oricon now, it ranked in the 101-300 range 12 more times after that, adding a relatively huge amount over a 13 week run. This is the kind of (rare but interesting) stuff we’re missing without the extended rankings. ;_;

* Note: Osomatsu-san v2, I had a typo in my spreadsheet and accidentally gave this v3 DVD’s mid-year number before, so the correction brings this down by 560 discs.

2016 Full-year Ranking by Series

• This covers the week of 2015/12/14 (12/28付) through the week of 2016/12/05 (12/19付).
• Note that ANN is the only place I’ve seen this posted for whatever reason, and unfortunately they don’t link to a Japanese version. It’s very important to have the original JP though, because that can help clarify what part of a franchise is being reported. So I tried to recreate it as best I could.

Disclaimer from last time: “This one is quite the pain to use, because it counts data from below the Top 300 cutoff, which would also count any small sales from RE versions. There is simply no way it could be correct otherwise, because the averages it implies directly contradict the extended rankings. Also as before, I’ve settled on calculating a batch adjustment at the series level, and adding that to the total average. I will not try to spread these discs out across individual volumes as that introduces even more danger for over-counting. Even as a one-time adjustment, it can be very tricky if not downright impossible to calculate this 100% accurately for titles that span both 2015 and 2016 so I’m not claiming this is on the nose right down to the last disc. But it should be pretty close.”

TV Series

562,503 Osomatsu-san
• Previously known sales: 552,125 = 523,782 v1-8 + 28,343 Live Event (Fesmatsu’16)
• Addition: 10,738
• Average: 65,473 → 66,770
• Note: I think “おそ松さんスペシャルイベント フェス松さん’16” is the only disc other than the 8 volumes that can be included in this total. So the 10.7k increase would be a mix of the 8 volumes + live event disc. That means it shouldn’t all go to the TV series but he vast majority should.

175,581 Love Live! Sunshine!!
• Previously known sales: 176,280 = 114,298 v1-2 + 31,982 v3wk3
• Addition: ?
• Average: n/a
• Note: This should cover through v3wk3 and the total I have for that is slightly higher than the number listed here, so n/a on adding anything. Not sure why the number I have is slightly more tho.

145,472 Owarimonogatari
• Previously known sales: 138,575 = 138,575 v1-5
• Addition: 6,897
• Average: 28,341 → 29,094
• Note: Note: “Before” average is inclusive of the 3,132 mid-year adjustment.

136,518 Haikyuu!! Second Season
• Previously known sales: 127,370 = 127,370 v1-9
• Addition: 9,148
• Average: 14,516 → 15,169
• Note: Note: “Before” average is inclusive of the 3,271 mid-year adjustment.

93,431 Girls und Panzer
• Previously known sales: ?
• Addition: ?
• Average: n/a
• Note: WE can’t do anything with this. It’s going to be a mix of the original singles, the second release of singles, the July 2015 singles [mostly this], the OVA, and maybe fandiscs. Probably a bit could be added to the July 2015 re-releases but nothing we can do predictably. The movie is a separate category at least.

89,387 Kidou Senshi Gundam Tekketsu no Orphans
• Previously known sales: 78,845 = 78,845 v1-9
• Addition: 10,542
• Average: 9,132 → 9,932
• Note: Note: “Before” average is inclusive of the 3,271 mid-year adjustment.
• Note: And talk about super close to giving 2015 another 10k seller!

86,866 Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka??
• Previously known sales: 75,532 = 75,532 v1-6 + 5,283 live Event (Rabbit House Tea Party 2016)
• Addition: 6,051
• Average: 12,991 → 13,597
• Note: Note: “Before” average is inclusive of the 2,412 mid-year adjustment.
• Note: The “ご注文はうさぎですか？？ Rabbit House Tea Party 2016” live event siphons off some of these sales, but it’d only be very little. It ranked twice, and that second week was right before the end of the reporting period. So it would have missed DVD wk2-3 and BD wk3, which would have been minuscule.

76,853 THE IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls (standalone only)
• Previously known sales: ?
• Addition: ?
• Average: n/a
• Note: 89,666 discs as of 2015 full-year list. 76,853 more in 2016 full-year list. 166,519 total. Subtract the fandisc’s 23,493. 143,026. Known sales of the standalone discs are 122,285. What’s unclear is whether other discs are included. 3rd Live seems to not be because its 25,039 is greater than the remaining 20k gap. G4U, categorized as a game, definitely isn’t. Still, I doubt the gap is really 20k so I’m hesitant to give it the bump. I’m going to just stick with its existing 2015 and mis-2016 bumps and leave this out. I *think* the 166k total may be baking in some Deremas radio show DVDs, which we don’t want to count.

68,791 Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu
• Previously known sales: 65,183 = 55,744 v1-5 + 9,439 v6wk1-2
• Addition: 3,608
• Average: 10,370 → 10,771 (through v8wk1)
• Note: The yearly bump had it all but locked for 10k, but this guarantees it with only one volume to go.

? Love Live!
• Previously known sales: ?
• Addition: ?
• Average: n/a
• Note: It’s listed twice, as 113,564 ラブライブ! and 64,136 ラブライブ! シリーズ “series”. Too vague to do anything with. I’m guessing one is related to events and the other to the music clips release. Not terribly relevant to the TV series at any rate, considering Sunshine and the film are both broken out separately.

63,133 One Punch Man
• Previously known sales: 55,682 = 55,682 v1-6
• Addition: 7,451
• Average: 10,047 → 10,522
• Note: “Before” average is inclusive of the 4,600 mid-year adjustment.

61,919 Gintama°
• Previously known sales: 48,119 = 48,119 v5wk3-v13
• Addition: 13,800
• Average: 6,967 → 7,441
• Note: “Before” average is inclusive of the 7,635 mid-year adjustment.
• Note: Again, big adjustment, but with it specifically listing it as 銀魂゜ it seems safe to give it to the series.

58,802 Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!
• Previously known sales: 54,458 = 54,458 v1-6
• Addition: 4,344
• Average: 10,944 → 11,760
• Note: “Before” average is inclusive of the 264 mid-year adjustment.

54,170 Macross Delta
• Previously known sales: 52,312 = 52,312 v1-v5wk3
• Addition: 1,858
• Average: 9,515 → 9,721 (through v7wk1)

53,959 Jojo no Kimyou na Bouken Diamond wa Kudakenai
• Previously known sales: 48,663 = 48,663 v1-6wk3
• Addition: 5,296
• Average: 7,783 → 8,190 (through v8wk1)

237,883 Love Live! The School Idol Movie
