The latest sales rankings are in from Japan and it’s really no surprise at all how things have gone done for the period of February 16th to the 22nd due to the arrival of Stand By Me Doraemon. With the film doing good numbers theatrically and being accessible in that you don’t need to know the TV series, it took the top of the Blu-ray chart with the deluxe edition and hit third with the regular edition. It really won the DVD chart though, which makes sense as it’s considered a kids show, and has about 57,000 copies moved in the period.
After that, a lot of what we’re getting are ongoings rather than new series starts, which is where you tend to see more volatility. This week has the new Yuru Yuri OVA charting high since it includes an event priority pass and we also see that the two Appleseed Alpha editions are doing well.
