Well, consider what you said. Japan should start focus on legal streaming websites. Japan has dTV, along with Netflix Japan, Amazon Japan, Hulu Japan and more.

The reasons why they are listed here is because Anime is an Japanese term for "Animation", its all about animation not only Japan, but all over the world.


Well, yes I'm aware of that. The reason was why this site excludes the western animation titles.

Oricon also listed western animation, like Despicable Meme and the boss baby...

Dissapointing sales for Isekai Maou & even more so for Grand Blue. Those damn Japanese and their shit taste lmfao.

Isekai Maou is shit wtf you're talking about?

I even doubt anime like this even going to have season 2.

Grand Blue adaptation is avg but when compared to Manga it's a disappointment.
It lacks production value, the animation,and comedy direction.

Reading Manga was far better experience for me.

Thank god the sales for Grand Blue aren't good. It would be painful to see a season 2 of this terrible adaptation.

Zero-G can suck balls.

Wtf they're thinking giving good Manga to a rookie studio.

Most of those anime won't even need BD/DVD for them to get profitable when the companies funding them aren't from that industry so don't worry lol

Oct 3, 2018 1:29 AM by brzzcode

this is just weekly sales on 24-30 september... so, dont be so disappointed just bcoz your fav anime doesnt reach top 5, yet.

if you want you fav anime get great dvd or BD sales, then invite your family or your friends to buy it..

Totally in agreement with you. I'm already hoping that it and Banana Fish will have proper adaptations some day.

Why does Japan hate comedy anime like Asobi Asobase...

Damn it, these sales really depress me, 2 of my favorite shows selling like shit :'(

12. *2,253 **2,253 Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san Vol.1 Limited Edition


These are a little better but still not as good :/


if you see the actual price for Isekai Maou BD. it’s a whopping 14.000 fuc*ing yen!. the fact that it’s 14.000¥ (15.120¥ if include tax) blu ray and it managed to sell that much is wild. ecchi harem anime is a powerful thing

for the comparison, Yuragi no Yuuna san vol. 1 price is 7000¥, and you can see the amount it’s sold is just like doubled of Isekai Maou

and one thing to be noted too, Grand Blue and Isekai Maou BD are released in 28 september, so it’s just only been 2 days if we look at this list (24-30 september) but i think pre-order is a thing so that doesn’t really matter

but yeah, i guess it’s still low, i dunno. as long as it’s above 1000 it’s nice think

Code Geass getting all that nostalgia moneyyyy.

ye disc sales are becoming irrelevant now wish there is some news data about streaming services and their profit too because online streaming is the future

Cool to see Free! on the list, seems like it's still selling in Japan. BD sales have been kinda declining lately, I remember back when Free! sold like 20k or something. Then again bd/dvd sales are only one branch of the total income. But maybe in this particular case it also has to do with the fact that the 3rd season wasn't that good, so I hope the 4th one is a big improvement.
Also damn those Grand Blue sales :(
