2017 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.
Large Vol. 2 Drop? designates any titles that dropped by 30% or more from Vol. 1 to Vol. 2. This is used to indicate that you should take caution in evaluating the success of the show purely on the first volume’s sales.
Season-specific notes
• ChäoS;Child This has a “Volume 0” and a “Volume 1”. The number above is Volume 1. Volume 1 sold 410 BDs, DVDs did not rank.
Vol. 1 Unranked, Later Vol. Ranked

Well, this looks depressing. Any series with a solid chance of at least hitting 5k v1?
Besides Konosuba of course, Youjo Senki maybe. That’s it though.
Bang Dream did it very well.
