This is the current standings for the 2016 Oricon Yearly Top 30 Overall Sales Ranking, as of the November monthly rankings + the first week of December (2015/12/14～2016/12/04). There is only 1 week left before the ranking period ends (Dec 11th), and then we will know the full 2016 ranking around Dec 25 or so, alongside the BD/DVD and CD Yearly Rankings.

Note: This includes sales from Anime BD/DVD, Music BD/DVD/CD, Light Novels/Books, and Manga. This doesn't include other parts of a franchise such as mobile game sales, Box Office revenue, merchandise sales, etc. Series most affected by this are the large franchises, such as Kimi no Na wa., ONE PIECE, Gundam, Love Live!, etc.

Note2: Love Live! includes Sunshine's sales, while Idolmaster includes Cinderella Girls, Million Live, other spin-offs, and Side-M.

Note3: There is a two week overlap between the 2016 Half-Yearly data and the June monthly rankings data, which means that series that made a lot of money in June is most likely to be affected the most.

Here is the spreadsheet if anyone wants to see the earnings on a per month basis:

Kubikiri Cycle doing well. Nice.

Kinda sad about Garo Movie Divine Flames sales this but oh well...not really surprised.

Garo makes money from pachinko, disc sales are irrelevant for the franchise, you should know that already.

No need to be sad @yaoi-senpai Bpro first estimates during Summer Season were just mere 3.5k. I know, the first and second volumes sold very well, but a margin of 6k+ is good, considering the very first estimates.

I have to disagree with many of idol fans in MAL: Although the weird end, i prefer BPro much more than Tsukiuta(i guess because i'm more fujoshi than an idol fan lol)

For fall season, i expect for YOI first volume circa 30k and Touranbu 11.5k. Average sales will fall obviously.

Yeah, you are right, I hope we get a second season. Bpro got a rhythm game as well, so I hope the best for this show. I really LOVE GOUSHI T_T

@Yaoi-Senpai I preferred Bpro too even though I knew more about Tsukiuta before both anime started. I felt that Bpro told its story better than Tsukiuta.

Everyone needs to remember this is Amazon stalker estimates - it doesn't account for brick-and-mortar shops. Utapri and likely Yuri on Ice (and Touraby) are underestimated - did everyone forget Utapri S3 vol 1 had 49k sales? While it remains to be seen if S4 will do as well, it's certainly going to sell more than 8.4k.

I actually didn't watch Tsukiuta, I should watch it then :3

Utapri S3 volume 1 sold 60k copies, while S2 sold more with 65k copies for Volume 1.
And ofc Utapri S4 will sell more than 8k but maybe it will not sell like S2 and S3! If you check the album sales of this S4, it's decreasing. :-(

It surprises me that people still forget that the position on the list means nothing. Just look at the sales totals (not this week's sales, the total sales). In quiet weeks you can be #1 with very few sales, on busy weeks you can be #20 and still have respectable sales. Sales after the first week are always lower... There needs to be a faq linked to the first post in all these sales threads.

okay I get what you mean.... but doesn't that mean for now or at a time it was at top ten.... that really astounded me

It wasn't in the Top 10 actually. MAL always inflates the BD/DVD rankings on here by removing Western animation or other types of BD/DVD from the original lists.

For your information, Macross Delta ranked 12th for Animation BDs, while it was not even ranked in the Top 30 All-Genre BDs (this list includes every type of BD such as Music, Movie, Drama, Idol Image and Animation).

As hpulley says, the sales are the most relevant. The ranking only determines whether the weekly sales are counted towards the cumulative total (Top 300 BD and DVD), and whether Oricon reports the weekly sales or not (Top 100 BD and DVD).

Haha, I would like to see real sales for final fantasy. Collectors edition was sold out instantly. Actual sales for ff movie (because included in the game) would be around 5 million? lol

Pretty good 2nd week for Sunshine, Wonder if it'll hit 40k sometime down the line.

Glad to see New Game! and Amanchu on the list, Really want that 2nd season for both. :D

A pity that 91 Days sold so little, it deserves much more sales than that.

Edit: Touraby lol, this is what you get when you type on mobile

Hibike 2 is set to sell more than twice as many copies as Phantom world, well deserved as the show is more than twice as good.

Kyoani most likely ended the year with a nice profit anyway. I'm not even sure they lost that much money on Phantom world but they certainly got some cashflow from A Silent Voice and Hibike 2.

Very excited to see Violet Evergarden next year, I think KyoAni will go all out on that one as the novel won their grand prize and all.

Thank god it looks like Drifters is doing great (even if it lost 2k since the last stalker) because that would be pretty underwhelming that the top 3 would be dominated by fujoshi.
(Not that im against fujoshi, they need to have stuff like that too like ecchi fans but .. yeah, not a big fan seeing this kind of stuff dominating too.)
Pretty happy for Yuri on Ice tho, pretty much the only fujoshi anime that ive enjoyed so far.

Well would you look at that. This is really surprising considering the trend that later volumes appear to be a lot more frontloaded. But now you get volume 6 pulling almost the highest second week so far ( down by 15 ).

This is sure to break the 10k margin by the time the last volume has released and the volume average counts. I didn't really believe it but the 10k average might actually be already secured.

I still think something funny happened last week with both LoveLive Sunshine and ReZero getting these big second weeks. A holiday or a store forgot to send last week's numbers in or I don't know what but they're not normal second week sales.

It is sad to see gay anime outselling straight/harem/yuri anime. I thought majority of anime watcher are straight boys. Yuri on Ice is not only gay show but is overrated. Even if they replace the males with females, the show would still be less entertaining than Keijo

I'm surprised that Drifters is going to sell that much though. I like the show, but vivid strike and Izetta deserve as much if not more

Anime like Keijo is obviously not what JP fans want to buy. It had a sub 1000 vol 1 which is a pretty awful flop.

Dec 6, 2016 12:00 PM by daggerswithroses

lol 91 days I called it as soon as I saw the first episode it wouldn't even sale 1,000 copies. I like the anime, but the finale was awful imo.

Dec 6, 2016 11:34 AM by Roloko

Seeing the DVD sales and for www. Working I guess that's doing a bit alright, I have to keep up with it but I'm glad it got some nice numbers too.

Re:Zero is still going strong as expected to be Lol.

And rather refreshing to see Love Live not being higher than #1 but well xD I like Sunshine honestly.
